This is coming from someone who honestly tried to have good dealings with Vice, he will make you promises he can't keep just to keep you at bay. He promised to pay my corp (while it was still around) 1 bil a month in protection money.

A week later he says he had a talk with his guys and they said they're only willing to do 800 mil a month, then a week later he says the payments start the next month. By this point I know he is full of **** and just trying to stall a war so his mexicoalition can make as many burritos as they can before it happens.

Then I find out from some other leaders that apparently liked me more than him that he was "secretly" trying to rally allies fearing I covet his lands. So I told him no deal and went to war, then he takes to the forums to get even more people to help him with his mass attack on us and FA (as if the whole Rust alliance wasn't enough), all the while preaching about being the messiah of Dust that didnt do nuffin'.

For those that don't know, we beat their mass attacks until they stopped completely, then after about a month my players packed up and left the game out of boredom, enter Rust alliance mass attack #2 revitalized. They didn't get weaker too because Dust is the greatest lujo they can afford.

He isn't trying to make friends with anyone, he's just trying to stay blue with any real threats. He doesn't plan to give up anymore land than is necessary to avoid being mass attacked.
