28 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: The Senate of Carthage declares it will have no claims on the island of Sicilia if the Roman Republic recognizes its immemorial rights to the island of Sardinia. Once both these islands are colonized, it would see peace in the Punic and Tyrrhenean seas.
28 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: yo, egypt gimme east of the red sea and cyprus and i wont end you
28 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: my boi rome, lets team and take out dat der carthage
28 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: yo, egypt gimme east of the red sea and cyprus and i wont end you
28 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: Is this an offer of cooperation or a threat?
28 Feb 17 UTC Spring, 1: If we go by the reliability ratings and previous history of all players, Carthage is most likely to win this solo.
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: so lets all kill Carthage?
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: so lets all kill Carthage?
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Egypt why would you make the final move and type all this up but not make your next move? cmon man
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Carthage, between Mauritania and Thebes there are just 9 SCs. The rest are up north, East and west. We can either ruin each other in a war of attrition or we can settle with the fact that you have some and I have some and focus on the dangers around us.

What do you say? I have no interest to go west of Leptis, but I will not let Leptis go either.
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: How bout instead me and Carthage just wreck you
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: That's another option. It would mean that I loose rather early in the game.

Your spelling would still be awful, though.
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Really not sure how you get that I'd be likely to win - I haven't played in years so my profile is basically brand new, my stats don't mean much. Obviously I don't want to start a war this early if I can avoid it, but I'm guessing you think Persia is a more pressing danger.
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Anyway, fine. That leaves us at +2 each, but at this point I can't do better and it would just be spiteful to deny it to you.
28 Feb 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Well, Carthage often has a small advantage in this map. Combine it with a very low reliability rating for Rome, you do the maths.

We can make this work.
01 Mar 17 UTC Autumn, 1: We can, but not if you try to outflank me through the Sahara. Nobody wins there.
01 Mar 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Outflanking you in Sahara would mean that I will have to keep 3-4 units engaged with you for 1 additional SC and leave everything else open. Not worth it.
I just want my Leptis and Cyrene.
01 Mar 17 UTC Autumn, 1: Can we vote to kick in this Rome is ridiculously slow, they even made orders and didn't hit ready just to spite us
02 Mar 17 UTC Autumn, 2: Carthage, I kept my part of the deal.

How do we deescalate from here?
02 Mar 17 UTC Autumn, 2: I wouldn't call attacking Sahara, then next turn attacking Phazania, as keeping your part of the deal. At this point I just can't let my guard down, although you'll notice I never actually attacked any of your units. If you leave Leptis, that's another matter.
