First of all, let's note the lack of Blazer's expansion in Africa.
Second, note that I have shown no aggression toward Blazer. I AM your ALLY Blazer! I will NOT attempt to harm you!
Third, note everybody seems to have paranoia and irrational fear of an AC aggression and/or takeover.
Fourth, note that in the past few nation RPs I've been in, I have attempted to the best of my ability to ensure that my nations don't go the way they did in 3.0 or Anagaea. I've attempted to hold a record of loyalty to my allies and hostility then mercy and moderation toward my enemies.
If you deny me the right to expand you are not a true ally of mine. You seem overly paranoid over my actions, leading me to believe in your own unworthiness. As your loyal ally I beseech you to turn back from this path, because once you lose my friendship, all ties are severed.
Should you not wish to be my ally any longer, I will not attack you. I will join in a fight against you as Machiavelli would demand, as Machiavellian politics seem necessary here, but I will bear you no hostility until I myself am provoked.
So, are you, Blazer and mlockha, my true allies, or will you have as much to do with me as most other nations have thusfar?
