18 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: Good to be here. Good fortune to all. Quite impossible obviously...
18 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: Howdy Carthage. Have you played this map before?
18 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: Rome, would you agree to "you get Sicilia, I get Sardinia?" If not, that is OK, I just don't want to waste a move only to have us bounce somewhere.
19 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: Good gaming to everyone.
19 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Carthage has played this map many times.
20 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Egypt, I like your style (your choice of opening moves).
20 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Why thank you, Carthage. Nothing says "We wuz kangz of Egypt" like a ballsy opening.
20 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: I'm just trying to set up a line so I don't get trapped in the corner. It's happened before, and those games suck. Anyway, good luck everyone!
20 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: I think the game's name may be wrong. It is starting to look like "gr vs mia".
20 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Historically Rome kinda got off to a slow start, but Grecian units need to start attacking each other real soon lol
21 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Egypt, we can make music together as 'no Rome' has given me control of the western sea.
21 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Sounds good to me!
21 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Mind if I resurrect Rome? At least we stay historically accurate with the slow start.
21 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Fine, it makes the game better and more enjoyable.
21 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: I wouldn't mind, however, if we don't stay so close to history regarding the conflict over Sicily, my Carthaginian friend, which would be an awfully nice asset to have given the slow start.
Also wouldn't mind if I could stave off building a front with Greece all too soon.
21 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Glad you could join us, new Roman. Hope you can keep it interesting. Good game to ya.
21 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: You can move to Sicilia right away. I don't know about Greece. You don't have a front as he can eat your lunch pretty quickly...
22 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 2: Right, Carthage and Greece, I think we need to talk. Clearly, Persia will soon be in your back, Greece, and you're already clashing with Egypt, Carthage, so there is no point for a war on two fronts for both of you. So I see three was to go forward here:

1) You decide to ally against me and split Italy, in which case I will make that as hard as possible for you, obviously, and be the thorn in your backside while the eastern powers are eating you alive.
2) Greece offers an alliance and I shall try to pull a 300 here for a while.
3) Carthage offers an alliance and I shall try to heckle Greece after throwing Cato the Elder in some deep hole.

As far as I'm concerned, 1 doesn't really do any good for anyone but Persia and Egypt. When it comes to 2 and 3....I'm expecting your offers.
23 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 2: Egypt, incorrect analysis by Rome. We are not clashing, just setting up our North Africa stalemate. For example, if we were clashing, I'd have put the fleet in GofTacape, and you perhaps an army to Bayuda.
While I appreciate Rome's valient attempt to 'turn the tide', those NMR's have probably killed him.
23 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 2: While I don't doubt the last sentence in that analysis, Carthage, the fact of the matter is that you're eyeing Massila and the Baleares, one of which you'll surely get no matter what. Meaning there will be a fleet in Thapsus moving to Tacape next spring and that's the stalemate for you, Egypt.
