Diplomacy Master Thread- Helping Your Opponents Beat Themselves

[kjn]

As for me, I don't make that mistake in Swedish, but I do it all the time in English, at least when playing Civ.

Ok now get rid of the N/S and squish the letters together:

Ew...

Ok good, now you will never get these wrong again

Ew...

Ok good, now you will never get these wrong again

Nice try . I was actually going to add that the corollary is that you would react "ew..." if you got them wrong.

..... That's all I can say about this topic. Let us hope that our enemies likewise struggle with N/S/E/W and never find their way to harass us.

By the way, I'll send that message in a little less than 2 hours if I don't hear any negative feedback before then.

Sent.

Quick poll. CFC wants to move NE instead of E, which is safer for them and closer to our city. They noted we wanted them to move E. Caledorn is asking via chat if we'll be upset if they move NE instead. Those who around, weigh in.

FWIW, I'm of the opinion to let this go. I told him that, but I also told him I think a couple team members are less thrilled about it than me. Opinions? I'm probably going to let this fly if he presses it at all, depends on how strongly he feels about it.

Also FWIW, this puts them next to irrigated corn but NOT next to our worker. I think this is fine.


EDIT: I gave them the OK. This is so minor, no need to fuss with them. I'll post a log in a bit.

I am fine with this. However... I doubt we'd be real friends in this game. They are obviously treating us as future enemies rather than friends, which of course was to be expected. I feel we don't owe them any favors in the future.
