Since I'm almost gone, I thought I'd let everyone in on my response to
Acanthopis when he declared war on me. Obviously I never stood a
chance. Everyone enjoy life under the rule of the unforgiving
Acanthopis. Don't bother responding to me, I won't receive further
communications.

Yes, brutal honesty looks bad. Still, at least everyone always knows
where I stand. That's got to count for something.

Incidentally, in case folks are confused about the Bantumi comment, at
the time I was still thinking that Bantumi wanted a piece of me. I
didn't think B would go for it, but it's what I would have tried in
N's place. I'm just trying to give the poor n00b a little fatherly
advice (while...er...trying to beat him to a bloody pulp, I admit). He
is fighting like a sonofagun, incidentally. I can't stamp the little
bugger out even though I have more units in one region than he has in
his whole nation. Dadgummit. Soon, N...Soon.

Incidentally, you can all rest assured that I will never cut and paste
your private messages to me, even if you're mean. :-/

PE-WJ-Diplo [The Sorceress]: Kalvis Agreement

I have been asked by several leaders about what was going on with
Kalvis, so I thought the best answer was through an announcement. Some
times ago, Kalvis attacked me taking away a couple of regions of mine.
Luckily the two of us were able to discuss the matter peacefully
before it turned to a bloody war and the honorable Kalvis agreed to
give back equivalent production level to me. That what happened last
turn and I can now proudly announce that things are settled with his
nation. The Sorceress
