I'm sure the Japanese said something similar during World War II.
Or we could at least try with bribe and peace? Tbh, it's not even guaranteed to work, so we could still have your glorious fight.

Let's at least try to pay him.
if the fifty guys voting for the 0.1 vote could change their vote we'd actually have a chance for this to work.

Thing is that isn't really true. The whole point of maxxed out diplo was that we were in constant contact with everyone involved. We literally couldn't possibly have more relations with them, it'd just overflow into our other stats.
The big thing is the International Games and PiA. Both of them should be showing that we aren't massively better than everyone else. We've been almost humiliated in the games repeatedly.
And with PK, the leaders shouldn't have time to get used to everything before something shifts. Our cultural foundations should be constantly evolving thanks to that value (though not always in a good direction)

Yes, Churchill quote, but the never surrender part was definitely something the Japanese would actually do rather than just say in a speech.
Do you mean Winston Churchill? As in, the British? :lol I guess they both live in an island and had massive boners for imperialism so... close enough!

We were completly isolationistic with our playstyle and we were Happy with it
We Never pursued diplomatical Ties outside of war and war in Defense of others
Most news we got were from refugees or People Coming to us
We Never went to look for other People
We Never took Diplo actions or anything in that direction because we always favored other actions and now we 'Pay' for it with a civ that reflects our play Style with their narrative
Thats what this weigthing is about, Not only about actions we have taken, but also about actions we have Never taken

Being in constant contact doesn't equate to getting involved in their affairs though. OTL Imperial China for instance had contact with everyone around, but unless they directly affected China or contradicted the Mandate of Heaven the Chinese didn't give a crap about what the barbarians were getting up to.
The last part was that if they were to lose, they and their offshore colonies would keep on resisting, but since the People don't have colonies, I had to cut that part out.

I WARNED ALL OF YOU ABOUT SOCIAL STRATIFICATION./s(sorta kinda, seriously da heeeeeeck).
I for one, welcome not!Genghis' cleansing fire because clearly some of us have gotten uppity.
No longer are we worthy of the throne if this is how we respond.

Yeah, we ate those. Still, why not at least try peace? It won't cost as anything?

It's not social stratification in this case, it's cultural chauvinism. The Ymaryn are pre-disposed to thinking that nomads are worthless vermin. In any case please vote for something with more weight, like Bribes.

We were in contact because everyone came into contact with us, not because we put effort into making contact with others.
Honestly, our neighbors are probably super weird because of us. They pretty much have a super powerful empire that just sits there and hands out innovations to anyone willing to keep in contact and not be total dicks. We're also the place where you can meet any other nation that you know about on semi-friendly terms, which has to be great for their diplomacy.
And the fact that the Ymaryn don't collapse or invade others means that they have one mostly stable border at pretty much all times, and also means that trade is almost always flowing to at least a small extent.
Too bad people seem intent on making the Ymaryn fight a Khan tho. Except for the one time, we've always offered a bribe to warlords, so ignoring them is actually going against Ymaryn traditions.
We shall paint our walls with their blood!
Lol, I'm pretty much spewing out propaganda at this point.

Good thing we are not giving him countries then? Because I assure you, the war would be far costlier to us then that measly bribe, and it won't do anything to our principles.
