we fought with 749 and 759 already for a bit, and then napped so we can have a nice cancel war later on.
as for my diplomatic skills? i can be a very good diplomat if i choose to be but i had no reason to negotiate with you. a couple of attacks just at the edge of our core on you and i get this whine:
Week 15, 14
Your fam member has chosen me so I will return the favor. This is not a family thing. It will be between two men. I will eventually win the strife and I put my IC names on that, but I tried being civil. I won't message again.
Signed, Callous of Tyr (753)
and when i advised you to stop retaking becos it would only force us to clear your nearest portals, which we did not want to do becos you are at war, the decision you came to was this bullocks:
Week 39, 15
NP return our lost planets in our home sector and there will be no further issues. I can handle loosing planets, but there is such a thing as enough is enough and that negates everything that was previously decided. I ask for what was already ours and you can explore with zero ticks, but I can not agree to passing up on my losses.
Signed, Callous of Tyr (753)
diplomatic skills are required to negotiate. but this is a war game and does not require hours of negotiations each time one fam makes some attacks on another.
