Darnit...looks like I might have to work a bit harder to keep my title...

he is trying to be sarcastic azapcap. The irony of the chief complainer of backstabbing, backstabbing on the first turn.

Apparently, multiple exclamation marks are a sign of madness. So now you know.

If I have to post all the players in here who ever backstabbed me, it would make a very long list. So stop complaining, it's part of the game, nobody likes it.

Nice one wooble.

Hmm... "attempted" to move into the Black Sea? So you weren't keeping your half of the bargain either? :o

I like it more and more.

Can I just direct everybody to read the Forum Thread marked: 'Ryoshi- Top Backstabber' before making a comment along the lines of how Wooble should stop complaining. He isn't complaining; he's making a funny.

It's a good funny.

LOL o.O

this title is becoming popular. maybe i should take it...


oh, and let's all blame this on IE! get Firefox!

I particularly like that "!!one!"

lol im in that game. i just felt like posting a post. (im rooting for turkey x) )

build a bridge and GET OVER IT!

I don't get it....lol

braddles, you forgot to say cry me a river...

We should soon run a competition for top backstabber. Seems there is plenty of room for qualified winners :-) but only one master: Ryoshi.

Back to the game, this is the chat transcript between me and Russia:
Mon 05 PM Looking forward for a great game. Good luck!
Mon 05 PM And to you.

To save us both the trouble of the tiresome endless bouncing of fleets in the Black Sea, I propose a grand Eastern alliance to move swiftly into the Balkans and crush Austria before he knows what hit him.
Tue 03 AM That's something interesting. What should we do exactly for the next turn?
Tue 03 PM I prefer to know what my neighbors are doing, I would prefer not to bounce each others, as you said. But I also need to know if you have alliances which are conflicting with me. Once we know where we stand, we can see if there is room for alliance. Thanks!
Tue 04 PM My only alliance at the moment is with the English; we're conspiring to shut Germany out of Scandinavia.


Please note the part "Once we know where we stand, we can see if there is room for alliance". I never said "OK, I am in a coalition with you". Thanks for noticing that Wooble didn't keep his part of the bargain (he thought he had with me).

Now, I hope Austria is gonna keep his part of the agreement with me, otherwise Ryoshi has to give up his title.

Wooble: top double agent! Lol. Well, have fun mates!

fr1988: if your stab had worked, I wouldn't be posting about it in the forum; I'd be too embarrassed about being dumb enough to let you into the Black Sea, which is almost always a fatal move for either Russia or Turkey :P

Well, the stab is in the eyes of the beholder :-)

Anyway, if we stick to facts, I never entered into a coalition with you. You assumed that. So, no coalition = no stab.

The funny thing is that, if you really thought to be into a coalition, you are the only stabber, because you broke what you thought we had. Anyway, we can always be friends, lol.

Lol, no justification needed boys. I thought this was a joke.

I agree. If this thread was started as an ironic remark, I take it that way and we have a laugh together :-)

If the post was serious: checking the transcript, I strongly believe I never granted any alliance to Russia. But if Russia sees things in a different, well, let's agree to disagree as gentlemen.

I think the case for "ironic remark" is pretty overwhelming.

Wow. Transcript posting. Tis a sad day to have come to this. I was under the impression transcripts were 'intended for the intended reciprient only etc etc'. Sharing my messages with anybody is a way to instantly ruin your chances of my allying with you for the rest of my life. It's a low, base move that displays total untrustworthiness. In my opinion.
