Also I'm not sure if I'm sending enough telegrams or not or if I should send longer ones, 30 might be enough for me to willy nilly send messages but it might also be barely enough for a full day + +One thing that's a bit bleh for me is that on the first day I'm going to not be around for 3 checkpoints due to an irl committment so hopefully that doesn't hurt me too much. + +Also when I am active I may be a bit overly schizo with clicking the open for business button + +Overall I have no plan and no clear allies yet but if arrows leave me on read after I changed how active I was with others and moved towards them I will blap them barring a lack of alternate targets + +One thing I just noticed is that the Highway man also moved towards arrows which suggests they got a similar request from them. + +After asking them the answer is "no" but with my phrasing they might have been asked while being given details of a plan. + +Brotherhood and muse are looking like non-allies but friendly otherwise via bases. + +I'm dumb any agent can do forum stuff, I was annoyed at arrows for no reason. + +Oh and Muse wants to pay to not get attacked maybe, otherwise not much of note. + +Note: need to send offer for UN protection to Muse + +Regardless Muse almost gave money to have me reveal information that didn't matter to me but alas they just had me publically state I'd do the thing I was doing anyways in exchange for money. + +Anyways I might be framing the arrows as attacking the young empire with me as a proxy. +You see the arrows wanted to gaurantee holding Siren song but I wanted to clear as much land every turn as possible (being paid where possible). +As such they wanted me to ambush in Leafburn and move to siren song. +But due to prior priorities I thought it'd be better to move siren song to velock due to messing up with ambushing at siren song. and not having anything better to do with the army. + +As such I negotiated for that and got to blow up masks who left me on read for the entire first phase even after I tried to initiate a basic conversation over telegram. + +I will need to consider if/how I'll blow up ptolems for them leaving me on read but they do have the second UN so idk. + +(Image of Masks begging for their life minutes before death, dm'd images to Ryan) + + +https://discord.com/channels/781628411047051265/1500400894951297085/1508296982446211203 I did try to extort arrows, now that I know how things work I will extort more people. + +Otherwise day 1 is done in terms of negotiating and actions, all that's left is to chat with masks and empire about what happened and figure out what to ask from Muse.
