I do not regret any of my acts. I want to see both Tien Chi and Jotunheim reanimated as ermorian legionaries. That is of no secret, i said so several times. I signed the NAP becouse I thought it was the best course of actions to see that goal fullfilled.

T'ien Ch'i is not accusing Ermor of any malfeasance. Their various dealings with T'ien Ch'i and Man and so on have all made sense, have all been consistent given their position. For that matter, Man's aggressive behavior has all been copacetic with their position as leader of the pack, we just can't conscious their flimsy, flimsy justifications for their aggression.

Man jumped in "to defend Ermor" because they were big and their opponents were occupied. The fact that there are paragraphs of of Man rooting for Ermor's destruction (back when Ermor was big and Man was not) makes Man's continually restated casus belli so much hypocracy and hot air.

We of T'ien Ch'i have never condemned Ermor for their actions. Heck, we don't even condemn Man for their actions, we just can't stomach the rhetoric being used to justify it. Man, if you are going to invade Jotunheim and T'ien Ch'i because we are adjacent, pre-occupied and weaker than you, don't dress it up as some humanitarian effort to save the poor, beleaguered skeletons of Ermor.

We of T'ien Ch'i want our end to come openly and if our opponent can't or won't deign to engage in open discourse then we will have no compunctions in airing dirty laundry or condemning them through diplomatic channels. At this point, all we have are words, spite and a trio of forts (one of which is under siege).

We never told We do this out of humanity.
Ulm will remember Our short discussion of this.
We told him Jotun is getting too strong, and asked what we should do against it.
His proposal was seizing Ermorian provinces as long as it was still possible.
We had our doubts, would have preferred to aid Ermor with money, gems and diplomacy. Next turn Ermor declared its own death and we tried to scavenge from their remains what we could. TC and Jotun viciously defended their prey diplomatically. When Ermor showed vital signs again, We corrected Our mistake and opted for assistance of Ermor. That was the only moment when We changed the course of Our actions drastically.
We never said this was out of humanity, it is an action to contain Jotun expansion. In all this T'ien Ch'i didn't play a big role in our calculations, as We, no offense, just don't see them as a threat.

All told, Man has never broken it's word, and that is more than there is to say of T'ien Ch'i:

Jotun and TC made a treaty with me about borders. They planned to attack me. Tien chi told me Jotun had a plan against me. He offered to join me and betray Jotun for 400g. I paid, and in the next turn both attacked me. I felt wronged by TC. I paid for something, and I got cheated.

We announce that the nation of Man has been attacked without any provocation by Pythium.
Three of Our provinces have been seized by Pythium raiding forces. So as of now the nation of Man is at war with Pythium out of Pythiums own choice.

We're holding a celebratory dinner in the halls of T'ien Ch'i. The sake will flow freely tonight.

Whatever happens, you will not see the day of Avalons destruction.

[shatner]

Maybe not but you still got a lot of fort to dig through before we're well and truly dead. Also, we would have sworn the same thing about Ermor just a couple of months ago...

Yes, rest assured We are working on plans for that fort.
The difference to Ermor is: There is just noone left who could turn the tide for you. I am at war with everyone, or will be when the NAP with Ulm expires in one months time.

The server shows my file as being received, though I didn't send one.
Morla, it would be nice if you could turn off quickhost until I tell here that I sent in a correct one.

OK, let me know if you need an extension.

[Olm]

You can switch quickhost on again, my file seems to have been deleted.
I'd like an extension for 24 hours, don't know if I need it, but I can't guarantee I get ready today.
Could we perhaps extend hosting interval to 36 hours? I am fighting many fronts and my time schedule is rather tight with a job, building a house and 3 children....
