This just occured to me: Duma is a liar.
Here is my argument: Duma quit because I outsmarted him and split his perfect little alliance.
Evidence
Exhibit A: While LG began insulting me almost as soon as Fate turned on him, Duma didnt. He told LG to just take defeat and stop.
Exhibit B: Duma accepts peace with me. Soon afterwards, Fate states that he wants Mantua and Istria. Until this point, there was no demands from Fate. Immediately after Fate demands the 2 provs, Alci declares he is quitting. Beli suggest we just make Venice AI.
Exhibit C: At this point, Duma becomes angry. He declares this is retarded, rhetorically asks why he ever came back to EU2, then says he is going to quit as well.
Exhibit D: At this point, the vitrol against me became much more harsh, especially from LG. Then the game crashes, I post that LG and Duma are losers and panzies for quitting. In his next post, Duma thrashes me and declares we "waste too much time arguing". The war of words begins.
Reasoning
1. Duma threatened to quit before I posted on the boards. Prior to my posting on the boards, I said nothing especially mean to either Duma or LG. Therefore, Duma threatening to quit cannot be tied to my supposed "immature" behavior.
2. Duma threatened to quit only after LG threatened to quit. If LG quit and Venice went AI, Duma would have NO allies save England. He never really worked with England in a substantial way to my knowledge. In fact, I am on very friendly terms with England.
3. Duma wanted to quit because he lost both allies at once leaving him all alone. Duma quit because he spent time and money cultivating Venice and Austria only to see that work destroyed.
Conclusion
I was right in my very first post when I said "Duma is just mad that his perfect little plan to surround France with enemies didnt work."
But alas, I am getting vaklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I shall give you yet another topic; (if you dont get the joke, you dont watch enough old SNL)
Duma claims he was going to quit even though Austria was going to WP Venice because he had enough of the childish behavior he was witnessing. What childish behavior is he talking about? Could it be....that which resulting in him losing Austria?
