Brinksmanship

You knows threats, deterrants and the like

I pre-ordered Diplomacy yesterday and having been playing sporadically since then and so far I like what I'm seeing, one thing I haven't noticed though. is the capability to make threats and the like, and have the AI make threats as well, whether bluff or not. A couple drop down boxes in the diplomacy menu or something could be used to communicate with the AI in a number of ways. For instance "If you don't give me 1000 crystal I'll obliterate planet X" or "You may or may not have noticed, but I have 16 Deliverance Engines and If you don't back off I'll destroy your economy" could give the game a bit of a Cold War aspect. Opinions?

*ghosts the universes system, resetting it (and the OS) back to how it was before*

You forget that I created the very system the OS is running on :P

*God simply looks at Chuck Norris and says "you never existed". Chuck then goes poof*

Wrong. Only God beats Chuck Norris, because God created Chuck Norris as the uber-ninja that he (Chuck Norris) is.

*uses alternate-universe tech to cross timelines and enter this one again*

I think that I will always be able to come back. There is always a loophole.

Y'know, there is an almightier being called a moderator, which can instantly freeze all of you in space-time (read: lock the thread) for thread hijacking...

But since he is not looking, just keep playing in his backyard, kids...

@Brazilian_Joe- we know. It's all in good fun. And it would seem that the OP has had his question answered, so I think it is alright to continue.

*since all possible universes never existed, neither did you. But if you didn't exist, you couldn't make the universe not exist. You have created an unsolvable paradox. You hereby self-destruct from the paradoxical implications, and the universe moves on. Sorry, and have a nice day (or as the dolphins said: "So long, and thanks for all the fish").*

*walks away from his experiment gone wild, and informs The One True God Almighty (he insists we use his full title) that a new deity may soon emerge from it.*

*The One True God Almighty keeps an eye on the proceedings so that the victor may be inducted into the deity university to lern to be a responsible deity.*

*leaves a warning note outside the system to let whomever know that you don't want to try and hack the deity system, or attack The One True God Almighty in any way.*

We offered to stop if the OP asks us to.  He hasn't, so we haven't.  Simple as that.

Sheesh, you guys are taking me too seriously.

Comes back from the vacation in Bahamas with my three female assistants, only to find Koiju - Igor in my universal language - the janitor, trying to mop up the mess he has made while I was on my short 3-month holiday. 

*smashes koiju in the head to a cartoony effect, from which several Whiskeys and Exiles dance around his head*

*Puts some bets with my smoking hot assistants (there will be no loser judging from what's being put on the table, if you know what I mean) and start to watch with wholehearted interest, to see which of those 3 diminutive creatures will win the brouhaha*
