I can also donate if this is the real problem 10mg

I dont think Hora that gameplayer or I have writen the fist statement but for me at least means:

"because you have done so pay the consequences, pay the penalty"

Why we assume that diplomacy works after our actions and not before them? Do we have ignorance of our actions or we just try to act and not be caught, so there isnt a big deal ?

Hora wrote: Why demand something like that in the first place then! Write: "Please stop, if you want to stay neutral", and that's it. Simple, direct, honest. Putting fees on it, makes that message look quite arrogant, top-down and more like a blackmailing letter than a diplomatic document. Diplomacy is all about wording and respect, and those letters (if cited correctly) had none of that, I'm afraid.

Hora - if it was one small member doing this then maybe I'd have done it that way.  As it is it was one of their 3 leaders - which means they knew exactly what they were doing - it warrants a different level of response.

Then there was the lie from Spotem about it being "some new folks we took in from FF" - I mean, if their own diplomats are going to lie directly to me about it why on earth would I try to continue negotiating with them?

As others have stated 250mill gold is basically nothing especially for a "peaceful" alliance - but it might help jog their memories next time they think about it - and it might have an impact on everyone else thinking about sneaking some help in. Plus - haven't you guys ever heard of a counter offer?

It's also to do with poop's posturing on here and in GC - tbh honest it was kinda fun to take the wind out of his sails from "We have nothing to do with this war" and "no one has been sending stuff to EE"  down to "oh shoot, you actually have proof, now I'm gonna have to try to do some damage control because we were caught red handed".

Bottom line (and I've said it all along) - If you decide to mess with H? you better hold on to your hats because it's gonna get ugly pretty fast.

Finally, to those who are trying to drag T? into this - down that way lies your destruction.  I can categorically state that there has been zero assistance in any way shape or form from T? to H?  They are completely neutral (unlike CE) and so do not need to be commented about in this discussion.  Unlike poop and his spin team I can state that in complete honesty.

Party A does something bad to Party B
