It just breaks my heart

Yes, I actually have one...I just keep it in a box.

Anyway, I'm playing this one game. Now, I am pretty much the strongest country at the moment, but I need more territory...because I want to win the thing. So I team up with an another country to attack this other country, which is very weak because he has been fighting all of these small wars, doing a very poor job at it...so we get our massive armies ready and place them on the border...I am just waiting until my ally comes about and we attack and divide his large country..but now, he sends me a pm-

''Please, I urge you not to attack me. I have done nothing wrong to you, nor do I represent a threat''.

I just got so sad...But...I want that territory, and the guy is so very weak, so harmless, so friendly. *sigh*

Should I be the evil Stalin I am, or should I try to find some other option...damnit GM, benevolence is your weakness >.<

 

Are you playing Spore or one of the Civilisation games?

 

Game is irrelevant. NOW ANSWER ME.

So far, if my ally agrees, I will make the guy my puppet state- take some of his land and order him around- but atleast he doesn't die. Yes...I think thats what Stalin would do.

 

Two minds are better then one, don't kill him, as long as he does what is in your interest.

 

But he might just go betray me- make a deal with a few other countries right now to go invade my country en masse, or later when he's a puppet. Anyway, my ally takes ages to respond, giving him time to call for some sort of support. I dont have any enemies atm- its kinda like cold war- the rest are conquering other countries, and I cannot lose an advantage, nor show a weakness.

WWSD?

 

Ok, tell him this.

"I won't kill you, as long as you don't betray me. If however you do betray me, and bring other people along, I will focus my entire strength to take you out from the game as I go down too."

 

Good stuff...

Hopefully my ally is more cruel...I wont be blamed ^ ^

 

Glad to be of assistance.

 

NOW, when you have got your question answered, wich game?

 

NONO! More suggestions, my strategic team!

I'm pissed at my ally. He's never there, it's almost as if he is plotting against me.

 

then half-kill him and make him AND the other guy your puppets! 8D
allthough they may ally against you...
´but not if you make them both smaller and weaker than you

 

No, that is begging them to band together to fight off your tyrany. Kill one, and leave the other.

 

ye... maybe thats a better idea.....

 

Either keep in mind that it's just a game and do what's better for you, or risk getting backstabbed later for your "weakness"

Keep in mind that he said it in a very polite manner instead of bi****ng you'd expect from a victim on the 'net.

 

... if he would be *****ing I'd finish him off at once. Thats the point- I was taken by surprise with this..politeness.

 

Cause he has seen that being submissive will be better then being dead.

 

Hey guys some asshole and his ally just put their armies around my borders.

I've already asked to be spared as nicely as I can, considering the pressure.

Help?

 

The game is full of communists.


And they aren't nice.


I fit in perfectly!

 

its a game?
a game of survival of the fittest?
getting morale support for good/evil from stranger on a forum?

i think you knew the answer before you got here.
