This is a public call for support from all nations, small and big, who
find unfairness in the recent moves by a big leader such as Kalvis in
deciding to crush a comparatively small leader such as myself.

Please help in an attack against Kalvis.

Lots of information to be shared.

Two small points.

Kalvis and I had been neighbours and then not neighbours, and then
neighbours again, after some geographic rearrangement. His version of
our relationship is somewhat self-serving.

Kalvis attacked after it appeared I was no longer commanding. There
was one news item of a lack of leadership. What actually happened was
that my commands where never received. I contacted the moderator about
this at the time. Its a mystery.

Kalvis misread the lack of leadership. If he noticed at all.

Its time to prick that pomposity!

Leaders of the World,

On this, the 73rd turn, The Specialists alliance publicly gives Kalvis
our 5 turns notice of cancellation of our peace treaties.  Once the
turn 78 newspaper reaches us we will begin entering our orders to
attack.  Kalvis previously threatened to break such treaties.  He
thought that a secret mutual defense treaty with Bantumi superceded
all of his other treaties.  He helped Bantumi stall while he freely
handed over his nation to another buddy of theirs named Ontario.  Then
after the very first wave of attacks on Ontario he resigned and all of
the regions lost their connections, became independents, and got
gobbled up by everyone else.

We have decided to ignore Kalvis' former dishonorable acts and treat
him with respect.  We have now given our public notice and will stand
by the word of our treaties, even if we cannot trust him to do the
same.

It irks us to see the largest production nation in the game picking on
little nations like Ockerboy.  Hopefully we will be able to enter the
fray before this funny and honorable leader is destroyed.

The Specialists (TS)

Mmm... It seems we forget to anounce our defence pact with Kalvis.
It was signed long ago - on turn 40 - so I almost forget about this. 

Anybody who wants to fight K., please, take this information into
account.

- Arizona

You might want to clarify your last statement Arizona.  It sounds like
you're threatening to break treaties if someone attacks Kalvis.  The
Specialists have given our notice that we will be attacking Kalvis. 
You need to give us your notice if you plan to attack us.

I hope there is at least some honor left in the large nations of this
world.

PE-WJ-Diplo [Acanthopis]: Declaration of war on TS

As I stated in a message to two separate TS leaders before they made
this announcement, I will stand by Kalvis against their attack. I will
enforce all of my treaties as well, expecting to enter attack orders
after the Turn 78 newspaper has come, just as they will. This
declaration holds against all leaders in that alliance, even though I
consider myself to be friends with them. I also now announce to
OckerBoy that I will attack him when we come into contact, even though
I enjoy his posts as well. I also announce that I will consider the
transfer of troops to any leader in the TS alliance or to OckerBoy to
be a direct danger to myself and my friends, and will consider this to
be an act of war, and will consider any nonagression pact between
myself and that leader to be immediately null and void, and I will
attack at my earliest convenience. Finally, I will go to war against
any other leader attacking Kalvis on the turn after their attack, and
will consider our nonagression pacts to be null and void.

I think this is a positive development all around, because this world
was becoming boring for me--sitting around and watching my regions
disappear. I ask my friends to stand with me, and my enemies to
declare themselves. Better to die of overwhelming attack than by slow,
random, actions of the Gods.

One last thing. If I begin to lose this war, I will fight until my
last region is taken. I hate nothing more than when leaders send their
troops to the front and then disband everything, so I will not do it
myself. I do not expect other leaders to view honor the same way I
do.

Good luck to all involved.
