Well, I just had huge doze of vitamin C :)
I got letter from James
"I guess it took someone trying to put together a respectable run at
winning the game and restarting this world for leaders like Aachaan
and Porcupines to realize that they wanted to win it themselves.  The
Specialists (TS) fought a long, mostly even battle with the SA
alliance and were finally pulling ahead when powers beyond our control
started the victory clock ticking before we were ready.  We were way
too vulnerable to defend the attempt at that point and it basically
doomed us.  Now the clock has been stopped and we've been attacked on
all fronts.  For some reason the new X alliance has joined up with the
SA alliance and Hermis and they're all attacking the TS alliance even
well after we're out of any remote contention to start the victory
clock again.

For these reasons, I'm sending out a plea for help to all of the major
unaffiliated leaders in this world.  I know it may seem like a simple
choice between one side or the other, but I assure you that the TS
alliance is an honorable and respectable group of people.  Kalvis of
SA is a treaty breaker and double-dealer from way back which is why we
first started fighting with them.  During his unaligned period,
Aachaan has grown large by picking on small unaffiliated nations,
although TS has done as much as possible to curb that (we saved
Ockerboy from his appetite).

If at all possible, we could really use your help.  This large force
aligned against us has started picking us off one at a time.  They are
currently focusing their efforts on Iceman but I'm sure as soon as we
move to defend him they will strike elsewhere.  Just one or two of the
unaligned leaders like yourself coming to our aid would even things
out and allow us a solid chance at beating them back.

Thank you for your time,
James"

James, stop laying and pretending that you and your alliance are
honorable, because you are NOT. You attack those who becomes stronger
than you (Bantumi, Kalvis). And you never fight one against one, you
prefer 4 against one. But when you announced war to Kalvis you got
surprice - Acanthopis and Arizona as defenders. It was quite equal
sides, but as your alliance is NOT honorable, you used TI forces. So,
stop crying about unhonorable world because the only unhonorable are  
you and your alliance. 
Why you did not write this message to public? Because it is full of
lays. You think I am new leader and you can set me against TS, X.
Well, here is your surprice - I know the history.

Thanks for proving my point for me "Imutnab".  I'm shaking my head
right now for not earlier realizing that name is just Bantumi spelled
backwards.  It's sad that you can't let the past go and start behaving
with a little more class after restarting as a new leader.

You seem to be offering a very twisted history lesson there.  You
demanded bribes of troops or regions in order to get peace treaties
with you back in the day.  For that reason, you got attacked.  You
talked all big about how a bunch of people were going to jump up to
support you, but no one ever did.

As far as TS attacking Kalvis, one of the main reasons we did it was
to draw SA (the Secret Alliance) into the light.  We knew they were
there but we couldn't get them to show themselves.  Instead of waiting
for them to strike against us at their convenience, we made the first
move.  It's called strategy.  Heck, even now they have a not-so-secret
4th member in Hermis who I guess is just playing the field until he
can join an alliance that is sure to win the game.

I talked before about honor.  It shows no honor and no class to
publicly broadcast a private message sent to you, no matter the
circumstances.  It doesn't seem like you've changed much in your time
away Bantumi.  Maybe you should examine the reasons why you were
attacked before, think more about your actions and your words
beforehand, and make some changes in your leadership style.

James

Very well, James, I guess you was the first who understood my name,
congratulations!

I will not spam this universe by explaining the same situation the
n-th time. For those who care how it realy happened, please read
history.
Anyway, Bantumi was one of the first attempts to play this game (in
all universes) and that misunderstanding was a good lesson for me. Now
I am much more careful, I do not ignore diplomacy and I dont write
jokes which may be understood wrongly. 
James, I know that you saw these changes in my leadership when I
restarted and got border with you. I offered you long lasting peace,
but you rejected it, because I was small, weak and you wanted to
expand.

Do you think it is honor to tell lays about other leaders behind their
eyes? 
I am sorry, but I think "honor" doesnt fit with lies. 
It will be my lesson to you: write only truth even in private
messages!
