Traxits, you have no idea of the healing powers of a Ceasar (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_(cocktail) ) during a hangover Sunday Brunch. In fact, it can make a Sunday afternoon feel like a Friday night. Which admittedly is a bad thing.
But Blackxbird: While I have a very strict rule not allowing King James to be part of diplomacy, it does not mean we have no respect for him. He runs and maintains the largest active C-Rpg clan, and brings in new players constantly. The reason for this is that he is actually a great guy. If he was the ass-hat everyone claimed him to be, do you think he would have such a large clan that is completely loyal to him?
I don't allow him any say in diplomacy is because he can get very pissy when he feels people are 'ruining the game'. When I attacked Acre I got a full taste of it, but fortunately I have a sense of humour so I didn't let it get to me. And now Acre is a part of my empire. Obviously the most loyal clan in my empire. And when James speaks, I listen. And when I disagree, James feels the need to let me know how stupid I am. But when all is said and done, most people who know James like him. Plenty of people who are his enemies said they would hang out with him for beers in real life.
So 90% of this James hate is fear-mongering. The remaining 10% is because we owned too much land, and looked ready to get more. I folded the Kingdoms of the North because some people would not get along with James. Even though I separated the kingdoms so they would never have to work together. And now they invite Europeans into the Na map and fight along with them to get 'James'. This is unheard of. This seems like hysteria. When they attack the Holy chadzian Empire, they call it 'Acre'. When they attack me, they call it 'James'.
So, BlackxBird, we hold nothing against you and your faction. This is a war game, and it is designed for war. Capture territories. When you see an opportunity to expand your lands, go for it. If we had a chance to get lands in Europe, we would have done so too.
Just lay off this anti-James bullshit. There have been many shit-heads in this game, but fortunately they don't last long. At least not as leaders. But James has lasted, so apparently he's not quite the shit-head people try to claim he is.
But he's still not allowed to participate in diplomacy.
