Pnp The Redwoods Own 'Original' Way Of Diplomacy!

Just a disclaimer I normally like funny PnP's but this is more just an informative one about what's going on.

So there I was in an unknown alliance called Fury about three weeks back. Things were going alright when suddenly our leader Medic began freaking out. He claimed that the Redwood Orginals we're coming for us!

We all made ready for war!...Until Maccat popped a message and explained he was coming for Bloody Monkey's not Fury. This caused us to believe that Medic was lying in order to take the eye off other issues at the time as the messages between the two seemed like Maccat was genuine we also shared a lot of goals. So he won my trust and thus we left Fury for the impression listed before. And thus Point and Shoot was formed and immediately pacted so that we could join the war in the core!

When we approached our new partners to begin business we quickly found out that Maccat had some problems of his own. Apparently he had issues with Dark Trilogy (then Platoon) and Truculence. After some words were said by them about both alliances and the possibility of a fight. Something note worthy did pop up though. Maccat seemed to be paranoid at all times.

Yet you fear them.PNG

However I offered my advice that day to fit their needs. All seemed well until I got an odd message from Conqueror II about the Deadly Phalanx. After sharing what I knew he left a rather vague and ominous message.

Sketchy.PNG

Because you know that's not sketchy or anything aye boys? Not like people are going to question that kind of stuff. Especially when you refuse to even remotely elaborate. It did make me realize something though. We hadn't discussed any kind of planning with RO since we pacted and I felt it was time to do that. Sadly they didn't respond well at all. Especially when we told them we could hold down O-66 so they could go focus on other threats like Truculence who they were ranting about and fearing. They didn't respond well to this either claiming that we were hostile for talking about this. In fact Maccat tried to LEAVE in the conversation despite us voicing our concerns. Becoming frustrated and realizing that Mac wasn't open to advice or hearing any possible concerns only increased hostility. Far be it from your allies to take a fight off your hands when the enemy isn't even in the top 12. Or ask a question about something that made us feel somewhat uncomfortable. :eek:




Despite the tension rising Maccat still reassured me that RO would keep its pact and honor its word. Then I got two messages form their players among a few others about the possibility for a fight. And of course a few of them about not wanting to attack us. :cool:

Their own diplomat:

Nice to meet you Likasil perhaps you should come prepared for the job though. :)

Well if that doesn't escalate things a bit then what will right? Of course Maccat assured me that this was an accident and it was only the possibility of war that prompted this. He also assured us that he would never break the pact first. But the question remains if you claimed that you weren't going to break the pact anyways why are you speaking of war to the public of your alliance? Seems more like a private thing especially if you really planned on not being the ones to start a war. :p


The sketchyness didn't stop there. We got another message from their brilliant diplomat Likasil. About kicking one of their own players because he used to be with us. None of us had cared prior to this but now that she made an offer it was worth discussing.

Fake offer.PNG

We explained to her that we would need to talk about it and she agreed to wait. Great finally something we can get done and everyone can honor and be happy about! :D

Wtf.PNG

Or you know...Yank the offer after we spent some time discussing it. Not like that speaks volumes about yourselves or anything. After some more discussion I explained that the player wasn't the issue but once again they failed to communicate with us. Which gave us the impression that they didn't want to work with us. It also suggests that they'll back out of a prior commitment for personal gain which I don't believe in. Finally its bad business to throw an offer on the table and try to back out of it because we gave you an answer that frankly you obviously didn't want. If you don't want to follow up an offer don't make it. Otherwise you look like our good friends in RO here kids.

The Redwood's Team Picture:
Silly RO.jpg

When talking to Maccat he said we were always hostile towards RO...The most we had done until this point is ask to be included in planning which they declined multiple times. In addition we asked them to leave O-66 and go focus on their main targets. Which they didn't respond well to either. As tensions escalated we got one more promise that Maccat and the Redwoods wouldn't be the team to break the pact. Then this showed up.

Gotcha.PNG

Intelligence isn't a prized thing over there at RO is it huh? :cool: Despite this he kept trying with 1k spies on multiple players.

So I contacted Maccat again and asked if he was declaring war. He said no he would not break pact like a broken record and then said he was leaving and this would have to wait until morning. Because ya know a whole war is looming and some of your guys are spying so you decide now's a good time to put it off or not do anything about it. That was the last we heard from our friend Maccat.

So today I came back from class and boy to my surprise! RO had tried increasing its 1k spies and sent an attack while still pacted hoping to surprise attack us...

Smooth move guys so lets get this straight. You claim that you would honor a pact and work with us. You couldn't do that clearly. So you claim that you would never be the ones to break pact. Guess that was half right we technically were still pacted when we started fighting. Well I guess you made you're choice and its our job to give you the fight you're looking for....Lets see if we still got it. ;)

BEHOLD! The most effective attack by RO. Power to the bolters! :p
LOL.PNG

But really though of all the possible uses for Zeus favor this was the best that this guy could come up with?

Wait. I got it now, nod. Seriously. The whole idea was to force us ALL from Fury to merge into RO, and now that it is clear that whether they like it or not that isn't going to happen, all their members who are former Fury members either have to sell their info about our players (lol) or get booted out (so they can return to the fold, so to speak). OH NO! WAIT! Maybe they are just spies being sent back from RO to destory us form teh insdie??? OUCH! My paranoia bone!

Hoping so. Shame it came off a former ally though. Sure there were plenty of good guys in RO.

Looks like someone is afraid and want to stir the pot between VV and TDP, and gain from the conflict between the two. :)

And now i wonder what nod told TDP about VV? :eek:
Probably "VV will come to o56 down through the north. I'd say attack VV from the south and cut off a potential threat before it gets there."

Our conversation regarding TDP got nothing to do with your conflict with RO, so other then provoking a fight between the 2, I don't see why you will even think of posting it.

Why would I speak to DP about your movements when you're green? Aside from the occasional attack on each other we tend to go our separate ways it seems. You can ask TM yourself if you wish we've never had words in game. You also first inquired about Deadly Phalanx to start with.

PS *swish* over your head there conq. The post wasn't about DP quite frankly you asked for advice so I gave it. The post was about your vague message and showing how you shut us out. "Soon the world will see our direction" when were supposed to be on the same page refusing to fill us in or work with us is concerning...But it wasn't the nail in the coffin.

However this post seems to be more for Tequila Monster than me by the looks of it. ;)

The battle with RO continued! They are mighty Ithican veterans and tough as nails! They showed their prowess in a conquest attempt on our town! Like any veterans they used tons of LS and escorted the CS with LS.
RO attack.PNG
Oh you know don't use LS at all...LOL

But at least some noob didn't use biremes on offense.

Nice bireme escort.PNG

...Some RO player used a Bireme escort...This was their general btw. Just some advice to those two players. If it seems like a bad idea don't do it.

Looks like we ran them out of LS in 24 hours...Sucks for them that we still have plenty of biremes and LS to go around.

aren't we supposed to be the smaller, less skilled, nooby rim alliance? I guess that not converting on any of your 5 revolts made during a "sneak attack" ad loosing a city in the process is just how these "hardened vets" play. I hope they can figure out how to fight or it may be a little one sided.

@nodcrush venom aren't struggling too much fighting around 4-5 alliances and lost 7 cities we have gained hundreds so i would say we still have our head way above the surface ;)

The mail is outdated in terms of V2 buddy.

Amir clearly this is part of Maccat's all brilliant plan. I mean two noobs such as ourselves could stand to learn from Maccat's brilliant bireme attack technique. ;)

Ya know the V2 guys will never let me live it down for saying it but...Daizan had one thing right. Anyone named after a biker gang here clearly isn't that good. (Redwoods) a TV series biker gang no less.

I always have they just weren't really important to the public until now ya know? Glad I could make you laugh personally I felt I under preformed hard...When it comes to backstabbing I tend to drop the humor and get informative.

Anyways will keep everyone updated as things progress their leaders have given us a few laughs of late. Speaking of which despite what RO leadership claims it turns out Victores isn't the same as RO. We found this out when we failed to spy a player and got messaged asking what was up and if we were at war. Turns out they had no idea of what Likasil and Maccat we're up to. Nor that they we're claiming that they were the same alliance basically. That must be embarrassing for RO huh? I know it was confusing for Vic and PaS today that's for sure. :)
