Autumn, 2000: RIP BC |

Autumn, 2000: Yeah this is what happens when you give someone a SC. They bite more. |

Autumn, 2000: Quebec can’t be trusted. |

Autumn, 2000: Suppose that depends on which end of the spear you sit -- I think Q can be trusted :) |

Autumn, 2000: Ah, but what if they have finished stabbing the enemy with said spear? Who is truly safe from the spear? You might feel relieved that they’re gaze, and army is aimed at someone else, but with your home so close, and the puny amount of SC they stand to gain, how long will they be satiated? |

Autumn, 2000: Their* |

Autumn, 2000: The spearrpoint sticks and they have to spend time pulling it back out from their fallen foe :b |
16 Jan 20 UTC |
Autumn, 2000: Sure. But after that? |
16 Jan 20 UTC |
Autumn, 2000: No trust. |

Autumn, 2000: Something something easier the snap a long spear in half? |

Autumn, 2000: Mid to late game is where trust matters, you might not see that early on but it’s true. And when you have two people asking you to do something they are going to go with the person who has a spotless record. |

Autumn, 2000: For example if France asks England to stab Germany and Germany asks England to stab France after they have performed a perfect Western Triple England is going to go with the person they feel is the most trustworthy. |

Autumn, 2000: Look, the fact is, you had nothing to offer Quebec. You couldn't help them fight their enemies, and you devoted your entire army to an attack on the opposite side of your land. Quebec had literally no reason not to invade. |

Autumn, 2000: I was just trying to be light hearted and silly. Sorry I fuelled this bickering. |

Autumn, 2000: My point exactly Heartland! I gave them Greenland with no questions asked and sent my entire army the opposite way with blind trust. And this is how they repay me. |
16 Jan 20 UTC |
Autumn, 2000: You're playing entirely the wrong game for blind trust. |
16 Jan 20 UTC |
Autumn, 2000: Well, strictly speaking you didn't defend your border at all. THAT override any amount of trust in like, 99% of games? |
