[Gavinfoxx]

Yea, as time goes on, I am getting less and less enthusiastic about those sources... but I still am trying to represent the relevant parts of their viewpoint, when they have something meaningful that I can parse into here...

Maybe it means, 'hey, we are pointing all of these guns at you, give us our territories and artifacts back, or we kill you'?

Or would it say 'threatening' rather then 'negotiating' if it meant that?? Or is this the diplomacy of 'you do this, we will let you live, rather than killing you AND taking these things'??
