"The Player Who Cried They Attacked Me"
Okay, children of Orbis, it is time for fairy tale!!!
Once upon a time, there was a player who attacked a flock of nations, brought out the alliances three or four times by crying out, "They attacked me! They attacked me!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.
The nations, however, did truly come at last. The player, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the nations is killing my people"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The nations, having no cause of fear, at their leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole infrastructure.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
The end.
