Invisible Swarm 2 - in limbo

[Jurri]

Dog piling is absolutely part of the game; so is having the dog-pilee get pissed-off

I dislike the spin and dishonorable dealings I feel I have experienced from Bandar. Losing is fine; i've lost many a game (mostly to Norfleet ). I don't like the double-dealing, the propaganda, and the mendacity.

That's what you take issue with? ...uh, clearly we are playing under completely different assumptions here. Let's be clear now: we only had an agreement to not attack each other and to let the other know 3 turns beforehand should we want to lift this limitation. I don't quite see how exercising that option equates to the bloody murder you're screaming, frankly.

As for Pythium, you don't think it's 'dishonorable' to attack a nation that has less than a fourth of your resources. But you see a problem in an alliance of 3 nations that combined have perhaps 1,5-2 times the resources as the one nation they ally against? (I would estimate R'lyeh and Marignon combined to be at about parity or a bit over. I have maybe half of what you have if I'm generous with the effect my research has.)

Also, throwing tantrums on a public forum over perceived 'dishonorable acts' is certainly not a way of acting that I would choose in a similar situation. But to each his own, I guess. (Rather, when I'm ganged upon, which happens too often to my liking , I try and see if there's anything to be done via private channels. Blowing your top off will certainly only worsen the situation.)

But, I'm not really interested in discussing it at much more length: you keep attacking my person with assumptions that have apparently been incorrectly inferred from our rather terse correspondence, and that's not particularly enjoyable to me. To be clear, again, I have not lied to you about my intentions at any point (except of course by omission), and am quite frankly offended by the allegation.

So, I hope that you can still enjoy the game: I am a bit soured on the experience since I can't help but think that I have caused discomfort and feelings of frustration to someone with what I thought was an expedient way to eliminate the most dangerous nation in the game, but that turned out to be a mendacious spin-riddled dishonorable pile of bull****. [censored], I thought that was how the game was supposed to be played.
