Ok here is what i would have said in response to Luigi had the thread not been locked. Also if i'm being pedantic here i expanded by adding filler, is that not what you must do with long writing tasks?
Would you like a diagram? or do you walk funny? i do admit i forget to tell him when and how to stop.
It was not in response to my invasion template, it was infact a pm from me asking why he claimed my troops had lack of tactics and thus were killed more so. He replied with saying my tactics were poor and not detailed enough. If you refer to the japan war you will find tactics were not taken into consideration.
Indeed Nepal is very different from japan, but i was only trying to follow advice such moderator gave to me to aid himself in completing my war.
Well at least i cannot lose troops from 'bad and undetailed tactics' this way i suppose so thank you.
EDIT: By the way there are no restrictions in this board, it says so on the front, so technically i am free to talk about this here.

Why are you being so difficult? We know how people walk - funnily enough we do it ourselves on a daily basis.
If you have a problem with the last war (which as soon as Grok came in was finished), bring up genuine criticism otherwise stop bringing up to back up needless arrogance and pedantry in this new war.
No, you can't gain any territory either.

Who said anything about gaining territory? where did that come from?

Ah, well i did not think for a moment i would get land since you had stated clearly the war was post-poned.

This is what seems to be a mistake, maybe kyle feels annoyed with his war in japan so he though he would annoy grok or something i dont know, but maybe this isssue should just move on and maybe kyle should make a pm'ed or public apology to Grok and then he can resend his tactics, but would you not challenge something if you thought you were write.

Maybe Grok was slightly harsh on his use of tactics in the China vs Japan (as there was a bit there, albeit minimal), but that is no reason to be rude, arrogant and difficult in his current war. After all, note that Grok decided to end the war there and then when he could've carried it on an on (which is feasible - something I would've, at least, considered). He may have been harsh in one respect, but it could be argued that surrendering the entirety of Japan in one fell swoop was actually very generous. I have said all along, if there's a genuine complaint please bring it to me otherwise this just appears as a petty squabble whereby you're being a pain just for the sake of it. You didn't actually address the given objective at all, merely concentrating on giving an account of how troops re-load their guns and walk (which was, amusingly, factually incorrect). Yes, I would - and, indeed, often do - challenge something I don't think is right... but this is no way to go about it. Maybe Grok has been harsh, but from what I've seen the tactics aren't exactly exhaustive when compared to those of most other members.

No, I generally think thaat detail should be added in long writing tasks.
For instance, if I was modding your war wioth the tactics you outlined above, i could (but probably wouldn't): Send every last troop over the top of Everest, causing them all to die, since you ldidn't specify where on the border you would cross. The border is about 800km across? You don't have that many troops to make an unspecified comment.
I would go into further detail, but the joys of English await.
Sorry for getting involved by the way, but you're really starting to annoy me with your complete ignorance of the meaning of detail.

No apologies from me, i stand by what i said. also mith i do admit the gun thing was rushed and not looked up so yeah it was bound to be missing or incorrect in places.
Luigi i gave you my personal example of what i would say ok? i wasnt rushing that or anything, honest, but i'm a minimalist at heart and if i have to say excaxtly which centimeter squared area of land they will cross on why not say the path and direction they walk in to? oh wait ok i can expand a little
My army is to march from the southern most point of the border in a straight line to the capitial. no crap but that is how i write out this sort of stuff and i do understand detail, but i am unable to give it hen it is unnessicary
I'm sorry but you never will get exhaustive tactics from me, it is not due to stubborn behaviour it is down to the fact i cannot, plus i don;t care either i suppose soon this game will dwindle further into deactivity and then it'll be reset. why pour hours of research into something that goes as quickly as it arises.

It took me less than a minute to go to wikipedia's Nepal page, and find the simplest (and best) border crossing between china, maybe another 4 editing it for clarity, here it is. That simple, barely long winded or anything.

Yer and apoca is proabley harder than the rest as you have to do the maps with the cities/ports/capitals then when someone takes over you have to colour it it's new owners colour you have lots of wars lots of reforms(For both of these you have to look and try and find some info if some stuff would be possible at the time) plus increases and trade companies.

Thought that was the same for the staff of CAG etc? or do they not have maps. Regardless reece i'm not apologising no matter how out of order you claim it to be, unless i deem myself in the wrong i won't apologise. Since i myself feel i have done only what i feel is right there shall be no apology. I can't be bothered with wiki joe, i admit there was a time i'd put effort into things alot more, but this'll go inactive at some point that the great reset will be gone, main reason everything i have done has come off my head rather than researched. (which by the way includes reforms, so trade unions? staff were wrong bout that one, genuine idea from me.) started a while back when there was a lot of work put in and little gained long term, in the end i see little point wasting time doing something extra when it isn't important. Now don;t get me wrong, i know the staff do a lot of hard work for this site and well done to them but you can't say i'm disrespecting everything they have done jut by debating one thing Reece, there fore point invalid. Also last thing, i really cba, i just about managed trades and increases the week before, and cba now. Don;t get me wrong i'll admit it had a little to do with this whole debate, i lost interest once i was told my reforms were crap i lost interest to bother writing Nepal ones and eventually well i got bored said what i felt and now announce im leaving. But it's not sorely that i do have exams coming up too and thats half the reason im not trying to get back into it. Still i think i did sort of what i planned to do, make the chinese actively played. and have brought their wealth up to 3 mill now whilst rapidly improving their quality, despite heavy losses taken old enemies in japan. It is a shame i do not have the will to continue to my original ideas. e.g pushing through Asian tribes then Persia to reach the ottoman Empire to aid the French and Moroccans. Travel to the Indian ocean isles and liberate them from various rulers. Even travel to America and invade Spanish lands and head north. Finally north of Mongolia and east fo that was a potential target . Good luck all enjoy your game and as i said no apologies.
