Kevin's Watch

I have decided to prepare my armies for war. This is purely a defensive measure, but I will issue the order for my forces to prepare their weapons and to form into their battalions and armies.

Will they be lining the reset borders of Yekithii, m'l-rd?

Of COURSE it's defensive.

And positioned to provide humanitarian aid at need I am sure!

Indeed it is.

Let us see who is laughing in a month's time, my tree-hugging 'friend'.

Indeed. And such a statement tells us that you are planning more than defense with your armies. Which we are all well aware of anyway.

Ahhh, another example of Bhakti reading too much into my statements. Paranoia is a constant companion of yours, yes? My point earlier was that I am amassing my armies to defend my realm, since I know the so-called arbiter of justice will invade. If you want to take that as though the armies will march into his or your lands, so be it.

You have repeatedly threatened: my destruction; my son's Death and/or Mutation; and the forcing of your will onto all of Eiran. And you have demanded I sacrifice myself to you. Expecting you to act against me and/or Eiran is not paranoia. Go find a dictionary.

Misreading every word I utter is paranoia, 'dear' tree-hugger. The army served a defensive purpose. But I suppose your fear serves me well, as it has in the past, by forcing you to invest precious love energy into protecting yourself from the naughty black worm.

Besides, did I not retract my nasty words about harming your sapling . . . uh, I mean, 'son'?

Not with an Oath of the Allfather you didn't. Anything less is meaningless to you, as I know from personal experience.

Besides, there are still the matters of your promises of my own destruction, the forcing of your will upon Eiran, and my sacrifice to you. Paranoia has nothing to do with it.

To my alliance: we must talk. Now!.

:::huge sigh of relief:::

I am so glad I that none dare address me in such a tone and expect my Willing cooperation!!

To Hedra Iren:
I apologize for drawing you into this, Goddess of Law. I thank you for your initial judgement. As it was I that requested it, and although from subsequent comments from other gods it may be futile, I offer to stand by your ruling.

To Nor Yekkith:
I am willing to accept your apologies and assurances for the future, on agreement of reparations. Let us know whether you wish to stand by your earlier comments, and I suggest that if you do, we conduct negotiations on reparation through Hedra Iren, if she is agreeable.

Undine

I am willing to make reparations, as long as trade resumes with Jove and Lord Adamorn decides not to invade my land. But I will swear an oath.

You should make up your mind. Jove is disgusting; you want to resume trade with her. Kill Zephyr; retract; threaten again...

(BTW, saying you will kill her son is not the very best way to get a Mother to cooperate with you. Don't worry - we know you have no way of knowing these things. That's why I'm helping you out.)

You can really act the simpleton when you want to, Bhakti. Think before you open that bark-covered mouth next time.

Who's acting?

So it's not an act!
