20 Nov 14 UTC Spring, 2: Rome, please set yourself to 'ready' ;)
20 Nov 14 UTC Autumn, 2: Sorry, was still discussing moved with others. Promise I will play as fast as possible.
21 Nov 14 UTC Autumn, 2: sorry, didn't realise that. Don't feel hastened though :)
25 Nov 14 UTC Spring, 6: I'm gonna be straight forward here...Untill now, working together with you both has worked out fine for me. But, as Persia and Carthage no longer exist, I guess my time has come to choose a side...

So let me get to the point: because I simply can't choose a side, you'll have to do it for me. Tell me (in our private conversations) which SC('s) of your own you would grant to me... I will choose the sides which promises me most of them. (equal amount? Most strategic SC's win...)
I will remain neutral untill that/those SC('s) are in my posession. After that, i'll will help that party to defeated the other. I make a promise that i will not attack him untill the other is out of the game...
...
I realise that maybe, i'm making a huge mistake with this message:
I could have chosen to stab one of you the normal Diplomacy-way, which I considered for both sides. Now i'm getting the risk to be the victim of a anti-Greece alliance...
But I see this as an experiment to improve my skills in the game and see if this open tactic works (before entering in games where higher bets are made)...
25 Nov 14 UTC Spring, 6: Haha, nice. Let's see...
26 Nov 14 UTC Autumn, 6: How do we know you're not telling us both we're allied together and betraying us both for a few SCs that might give you the game?
26 Nov 14 UTC Autumn, 6: Because this treachery would become clear before I would be able to secure the promised SC's...
26 Nov 14 UTC Autumn, 6: I'll make this as clear as it can be: Egypt offered me more/better SC's than Rome so I'm on its side now.
30 Nov 14 UTC Spring, 9: Hope Greece did not leave.
01 Dec 14 UTC Spring, 9: I didn't... had stuff to do and missed a turn ...
05 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 11: Putting up a fight. Nice :)
06 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 12: Good game!!
06 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 12: Yeah, I thought I could just race for the win by stabbing both of you at the same time but now it's proving hard to get those last two SCs. Keep up the good fight!
07 Dec 14 UTC Spring, 13: Ok. I'm willing to draw if you two want.
07 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 13: Let's try a few more turns... if nothing moves anymore, i'm willing to draw too, but for now I'm finding it too amusing to draw :)
09 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 14: Goofed up my order.... grrrrr
12 Dec 14 UTC Spring, 16: Damn, I missed this turn by a few minutes.
16 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 17: Things are not going so well anymore.
18 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 18: I don't know if it's possible for you, but can we play the game a bit faster again? Last few days the turns lasted a whole day...
18 Dec 14 UTC Autumn, 18: I'm sorry, I've been really busy at work lately, but it will calm down after this week.
