Languish Here I Stand (9?) Thread

[ehrie]

I'm willing to give a gift of a couple mercs. I'm not willing to give a card for Cloth play. My turn is inc shortly. I don't have my board handy so I can't send an update, but I know what I want to do.

England: Message
DOW Scotland. French get a free DOW if they want one.

4/5 Build 4 Mercs in Henry's Army.
5/5 Henry and his stack beseige the Scottish Capital.

Tamas is up...Tamas, if you wouldn't mind rolling ehrie's move into your board update?

So you won't give a card for a card, but instead insist that you give less than a card for a card?

Why would I agree to that?

Because you're already getting something from the card play itself and getting something from another player.

The Ottomans don't plan on anything major until the Protestants are moderately well-contained.

I dunno if you noticed, but I converted 1 lousy space last impulse.  At this rate I will win sometime after everyone else.

[Delirium]

I'd be crying along with you if that hadn't been your thirteenth space, first round, turn 1.

The other player has offered me a card two turns from now. Not a bad counter proposal really, but I am not giving up a card right now for a card two turns from now.

I would give up the card now in return for a card from you next turn, and a card from the Hapsburgs the turn after. That would be reasonable. Or you two could argue about the order.

But I won't give England an advantage for nothing. I will be happy to simply take the 3 CPs and use them to take Florence.

I suggest we pause the negotiations while we wait for French activities this turn, I think they could affect the deal in your favour.

And I think you would be right in demanding something from the English.

[Tamas]

Listen, I agree that there will be no battle between Habsburg and France forces this turn, but only on the condition of the Papacy leaving me, and especially Milan, alone.

[Berkut]

You think the Pope is going to attack Milan?

Uhhh, no.

OK, so where does this leave us?

[Tamas]

Well I wanted to be sure there won't be any backdoor sneak attack if I make truce with the Chin.

So I consider the truce to be in effect.

In other news, I am letting Scotland fall. I sent out an explorer, built a fleet, and moved the French fleet out to the Channel in a purely defensive manner.

It leaves you up, and with the 100% conviction that the Hapsburgs and the English do not want to pay you what it's worth to play cloth prices fluctuate as an event.

Well, that isn't the case, now is it? Seeing as Del just said that the deal with France may change his mind?
