Actually, Ivan said we could do whatever we wanted to that country, which I assumed meant kill it (because it spied several other PDM'ers) and they didn't have the capacity to kill it + keep fighting TIE. We actually expected a full blown suicide after the first 3 hits + other failed ops. We were farming before killing and would have killed it if Ivan hadn't been like "zOMG YOU CAN'T KEEP HITTING THAT COUNTRY EVEN THOUGH I SAID DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!". We obliged and let the country live with him promise that it wouldn't hit us again. We (PDM) have been very accomodating during this issue because SoF was at war and we had the goal of improving relations now that I'm doing some FA.
As for the reps this round, I asked for them early and he said that's not doable. Don't make it sound like SoF is being all nice Sov, because SoF has treated PDM pretty poorly over the last several rounds. I see many defending hits in our news after you guys are done your wars and "are bored" (including all the exchanges that started issues last set). The response I'm given is that PDM puts SoF on a one-way DNH and SoF will hit PDM when they feel like it (prior to Ivan and I signing a DNFH, but we'll get to that later!).
But regarding a "generous" offer, will it be like the last few offers?
"DNFH for the rest of the round!" -> wrong. we were hit again and it botched our member's round.
"do whatever you want to that country!" -> wrong. we were supposed to only get our land back. that probably should have been told to me if that was indeed the case.
"we'll pay you back the $1.7b this round" -> wrong. no one sent a dime despite there being 10 countries in range of our guy. And I believe our guy only jumped to retal the SoF member who grabbed him and then jumped.
Like I said, you'll have to forgive me for not trusting that the next agreement with Ivan will be honored either. That's why I have begun reaching out to other SoF'ers. This issue should have been resolved last round, not kicked down the road to such a point that SoF would be able to FS us instead of paying reps, which based on Ivan's rhetoric, feels like a real possibility.
should we keep doing FA on AT? :p
