	World War? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Here is the gist of how the emergency chat ended.

Santiago will NOT auto-raze if ND takes it. ND has said that they would be willing to gift Santiago to Lego inorder to get Lego support for a ND-GoW-Lego vs RP GS world war.

Our goal is to convince Lego that it is in their best interest to join us.

Here are a few truly compelling reasons why:

If Lego does not help us, I fear that ND-GoW will eventually loose a RP-GS war. This would give GS a sound foothold on Bob. If GS gets a foothold on Bob, the Strat guys will walk over what is left of RP/ND/GoW and win by domination. With Lego, GS won't be able to consentrate on Bob and be forced to watch, and move its forces all over. If RP does not get GS assitance, it is doomed and RP knows this (just look at the desparate act it has alredy done!!!). ND-GoW can then finish RP and still defended Bob. With Bob divided but allied, and Lego on the same team, GS will have a two front war while we will have Lego's back and Lego will have ours. We attack east, Lego moves west. We stand a VERY good chance of destroying GS.

Basicaly, if Lego sits idle, GS gets Bob and wins the game.

Things we have to watch out for:

Lego sides with RP-GS. Hmmm.... we get screwed here. We need to come up with reasons why it would NOT be in Lego's interest to do this. Unfortunately, I can only think of reasons why they should. They join GS with RP a bit player making no difference. They split bob between the two of them and they either Fight (neither will want this) decide to go for a Space victory or do what we were thinking of doing and just calling a "Shared Victory". Lets do some thinking.
