	Letter to CDG Tired of ads?

Dear Micaelis Rex and our friends at Elucida:

I regret to inform you that on behalf of our other friends, the nation of PAL, we have decided to join them in the attack. As you can see, we have approximately 20 units including a mixture of hoplites, swordsmen, archers and horsemen about to enter territory that is occupied by you and liberate it to the true cause of Apolyton and the Great Banana. With the significant forces poised against you, we wish you will see the wisdom of transferring your cities, gold and workers to us. Your settler(s) will be directed to locations to found new cities that will be transferred to us the turn they are founded. It will make the conversion of your people to the true path of the Great Banana that much simpler and easier.

We have enjoyed playing with you, but of course the rules of this game are simple: 3 teams go on, 2 do not. Unfortunately, your team has had poor luck; in that you are between two other teams, have a mediocre starting location, and civ traits that are not well suited to early expansion, protection and growth.

Regardless of whether or not you choose to make this transition simple or complicated (abet a bit more interesting), we wish to invite the members of your team to join up with Poly once the formalities of your annexation are complete and as soon as reasonable. I am not familiar enough with the UN Rules, so that may not be until the second game starts.

We thank you for the respect and honesty you have shown us in this game, in the fair trading practices you have had with us, and hope that you feel the same towards us.

Godking,
MoI, team apolyton

Two things...

'abet' should be 'albeit,' unless I'm misunderstanding you.

Also, we should be a bit more honest about it - at the very least, that the war has been planned for a long while. We owe them some honesty after what we've done.

I think if we send CDG that letter, they'll know we have been planning this for a long time, since some think that we are allies with PAL now anyways.

I think the part of planning this for a while is obvious. It is kinda rubbing salt into the wound I think, thus my decision to leave it out. I can add it in easily however, if people think we should.

Good spelling catch.

I don't know - sounds a bit condescending. I like the gist of the idea, though - invite them to join up with us, perhaps a bit more polietly.

OK, I will remove the bit about the rules (the stuff in bold), as we know they can join us, and they can check if they like. It seems good to me then.
