Languish Here I Stand (9?) Thread

[Berkut]

Berk the point you are missing is of course, that onec I defeat you thanks to this extra investment, we won't only make a white peace, so I will not close the deal with a loss.

That would be a reasonable position if you thought that was your plan all along - of course, if that was the case, you would never have offered the white peace.

But in any case, I accept the truce offer, and will be moving on Florence shortly.

Been thinking about the Protestant strategy, does it mean that the more Protestants I kill, the more Luther will help the Ottomans win behind my back?

And England is still up.

England: Message
Home Card to ask for divorce, oh pweety please Mr pope sir mister.


On to the French.

[ehrie]

This French-Papacy War Sure looks like fun. Hey, whoever gets me my divorce I can give a card to this turn. A combat Card at that. Might turn the tide a bit.

More like in front of you, but yes.  Perhaps you could start fighting the real threats and ignore poor Luther.

[Delirium]

Heh, this turn I've played two cards, one to attack two electorates of yours, the second as a hostile event against the Ottomans. As I'm not at war with the Ottomans there seems little else I can do at the moment, or do you have suggestions? If so, I'm ready to listen to them if it means you'll stop giving away victory points unnecessarily.

Are you competing with tamas to see who can make more nonsensical plays?

"Don't try to stop me from winning or I will throw the game to someone else!"

Really - come on. It's turn 2.

I am pretty sure France cannot get you a divorce, so I would guess you are talking to me.

Could you be a bit more specific?

[Delirium]

I assume he's talking about a response card, since I'm pretty sure you can't play battle cards on other players.

I'm also pretty sure there's no response card that's worth a divorce in itself.

I am playing emotionally now, so who knows?

Well, buggering off out of my electorates would be the preferred move, unsurprisingly.

It's the chicken steering wheel strategy.

Probably not, although the zap all mercenaries event is always fun.

Indeed, unless a mental cripple were to be playing the Papacy.  I find that this is something that new players just don't get, though--they think the divorce is worth a card draw or a token favor and so bargain accordingly.

Then they get pissed off when people that know the actual value of it refuse to grant it for anything below the real cost...

Right now, you're not playing at all.  Which is strange, since it's your turn.

Or possibly Tamas's French.
