  1. "Broken" is a hackneyed term at this stage of development, but I do agree about the lack of game features for diplomacy. My opinion was that this total absence of game features about diplomacy tied to european mainland, would make this game a typical food chain with the playerbase being the only deciding factor. And that was mildly disappointing.

     

    It turns out that the community took matter in its own hands, for the better or worse.

  2. Nothing pleases more my eye than the mighty Mighty Bouff eventually acknowledging fire is in the house. If we had to collect all your earlier bombastic statements about first "reducing Spain to one port", then "sufficently humbling then", then "send the French packing", that would be prime material for a masterclass in shifting rationales. :lol:

     

    "We're not retreating! We're advancing in another direction!"

  3. Did you not like my reply to your report?

     

    Of course I did! Such a display of pompous arrogance confused me one moment into thinking you were one of us ;)

     

    Although you could use being lazy like us too. See, I for one, can't be arsed to retrieve the name of the English 3rd rate's captain whose surrender I gracefully accepted yesterday B)

  4. In my view, this exchange sums up the whole difference between the French and English language:

     

    English, being concise to the extreme, to the point that sometimes a groan will suffice i.e  "You ran away!"

     

    French, being awfully verbose naturally sophisticated in its expression until it kills the audience with boredom : "All we made was the instantly accurate assessment that this situation was needlessly going to be a turkey shoot and we left you camping your port alone thus reclaiming the initiative for ourselves in the most daring manner, commissioning on our way a composer to write a Te Deum to our magnificent abilities to outmaneuver the enemy in the direst circumstances, leaving the only unfortunate casualty of the whole affair being the proverbial British Humour, fallen a collateral victim to the guns of Old England."

  5. That's how you know a french player who isn't actually french, he will be the one using french without making mistakes in each word.

    I've used the word french a lot there, french.

    It sounds like I'm swearing. Frenching french.

     

    tr.v. frenched, french·ing, french·es

    1. To cut (green beans, for example) into thin strips before cooking.
     
    You are effectively frenching your french.
  6. That's because we worked hard on our map reading skills : after 30 seconds it became clear that we had the overall cohesion of the Gaul tribes, whereas ye redcoats looked as flexible as a freight train in the plains of Canada.

     

    So much for loading our bus with tourists. Although personally, I came here for sipping daiquiris too.
