Agument phale. Please don't tell me you're actually trying to rationalise the idea of paying for carrier pigeons :S Being on the same square as an opponent to attack makes perfect sense, going from that to a 'scare tactic' of charging for messages sent is really rather lame IMO. lmao
A. It was half in jest, since I can only assume that your carrier pigeons post was also.
B. Being on the same square as an opponent to attack makes as much sense as being on the same square to send a message.
C. You still haven't responded to the actual content my post, instead you're just saying "It's silly," when it's the logical conclusion of what you posted.
D. It isn't a scare tactic.
E. If it's cell phones, then you have to pay the cell phone bill and buy the actual cell phone.
