Taking CoolBot out of the game as much as we can this round may be crucial. He now has 7 cards and a lot of territory, so... take from that what you wish.

I will not attack you in North Africa from Brazil in my next four turns (including this one) and you will not attack me in Brazil from North Africa in your next four turns. The whole thing is dead if I do not capture Brazil this turn or next, I capture all of North America, I lose Brazil after capturing it or you lose North Africa.
My alliance with coolbot is still valid until the end of his next turn.

Are you interested in a two-round truce?

This is still valid for tss' next two turns.
I had an non-aggresion pact with raj, but that doesn't matter now.
No, raj, CoolBot is going to win if someone doesn't break their pact. He has 7 cards. Most likely he will be able to exchange 2 sets next turn giving him 10!!! I repeat, 10!!! extra armies to place wherever ON TOP OF the armies he gets from Europe and Africa, giving him a minimum of 10+8+4= 22 armies (if he started his round like the map is now). And don't think that he's going to be sympathetic with you if you don't attack him now.. he's going to get you eventually
So we need to do something to prevent this from being a game of "How long will it take for CoolBot to squash me like a bug?" and exterminate him ASAP!
I won't break my alliance with him, because I have benefited from it a lot. It wouldn't be fair to break it now that it benefits him.
WindSlicer, I don't think your plan to attack Europe from Alaska is a good one. You will have to defeat 4 of my troops and ocupie two countries before you even get to him. If you attacked from Afghanistan it would be just as costly to you, but much more costly to CoolBot. This would also leave me in a position where I can attack Europe making it a two front war for him.
CoolBot, do you want to extend our non-aggression pact between Brazil and North Africa? I want to remove the stipulation about North America because you now control Europe. I'd like to have an answer to this by the time I start my next turn.
Windslicer, I have no intention of holding Europe. That's pretty much why I left Iceland unguar\ded. My biggest goal last turn was to get rid of rajhr, who was in danger of turning in cards and doing major damage to me.
coolbot's about to kick some ass if y'all don't do something.

I'm not sure mccoyn, I've got to mull it over (I'm going to wait til map updates so I can see everything in current perspective and formulate some type of game plan)
mccoyn, it's not in your interest to sign any sort of pact with Windslicer. In fact, you should extend our pact to cover all territories, thus forcing Winslicer to trek across Canada and take Iceland from him. This leaves him weak for you to take N. America, and prevents me from holding Europe for a turn. I am willing to have such a pact for two turns.
It is in my best interest for WindSlicer to attack you through TSS instead of me. If he attacks me through Canada he will have to defeat at least 4 of my troops and occupy at least 2 of my territories. A non-aggresssion pact will leave him free to work on you from one side while I work from the other.
Of course, it would be easy for me to wait until next turn and attack through Africa or Iceland, whichever you leave weakest.
I think the chance of Windslicer punching through the Eurasian border is pretty small indeed. If he attacks anything in Asia, he'll go after Australia.
It is in my best interest for WindSlicer to attack you through TSS instead of me.
No kidding. And it's in my best interest for him to attack CoolBot through you. The real question is, where is WindSlicer's best interest? And he'll have a harder fight if he goes for the land war in Asia than over the top of North America.
I think it's pretty clear that TSS's awesomeness did alter the roles each of us recieved, and thus he's obviously pro-town. -- Save The Dragons
Well, I won't tell WindSlicer what is in his best interest. He is perfectly capable to figuring that out himself. I am just offering my assistance with a non-aggresion pact in case that is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Its up to him to decide if he will gain from it. I've already decided.
