[ChrisiusMaximus]

January 1801 to Prussia

[Beta]

to Ljube

Sent to Paddy.

Russia has built a city near Prussian border to catch the whale in the Baltic, as per our agreement on city building. Since Prussia lost a square of their territory because of this, we grant the Prussians unsettled area west of the large marsh.

[Paddy]

and onto Modo

[Modo44]

A statement was issued today by King Modo.

"
Recently it has come to our knowledge that pirates have been roaming the Atlantic Ocean not too far from English soil. England will not tolerate the intrusion. We have therefore dispatched a fleet consisting of no less than six Man-O-War vessels in order to deal with the infidels. Go hard on them, boys.
"


Save to Chrisius.

[Paddy]

ahhh mighty Lord Modo

it should be noted by you, and all that we all know the historical path that we started at

YOU are the only person/country with privateers in this region at such a time

so please - enough

I did not complain when your privateer attacked my lad

and what / who else could have privateers yet

so please let us hear your truths

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I have the turn but work beckons so Ill play it later

Your Majesty, though we appreciate any assistance in our fight against Piracy in the Atlantic, We will not tolerate any English shipping in our waters!! All transgressors will be sunk on sight!!!

[Paddy]

Ahhh Lord Chrisius,

please remember that the Mighty Lord Modo has made several fine and splendid speeches on how he will not be treading the waters of any nation

He is afterall a mighty man of peace.

To the Kings knowledge, England has not attacked any French vessels so far. And we do not plan to.

I could say that any other country with shipyards could send those out into the ocean. But judging from your statement, you would hardly give it a thought.


King Crisius, please, worry not. The English fleet shall keep at a good distance from foreign sea borders. We wouldn't want you to get upset with us.

indeed, and in all good faith bloody hard to prove unless you have played the English in this scenario more than 5 times hey :

have fun

[Modo44]

The game is about diplomacy after all. Nobody said it was supposed to be clean.


The official English claim remains. The pirate ships will be either sunk or driven away. The waters shall be kept safe by the fleet for trade vessels to cross without fear of attack.

[Paddy]

ok, so who has the save now

[ChrisiusMaximus]

It was with me Sire we were having an extended siesta, we were so tired from hunting all these pirates England speaks of

Prussia we have sent you some proposals we hope you find them to your approval and we wish your people the very best of regards

Marachel Paddy though we too have no proof of whom is fielding fleets of dastardly Pirates off our coasts, we do however have our suspicions.

We would like to formally tell you that one of our Navies frigates spotted an injured French frigate over a year ago now and we also intercepted a privateer who no doubt was responsible for your damages, we imediately sent the salty sea dogs to the bottom to feed the fishes

Sadly since that incident Pirates have sank our Flagship the Man O War Santa Maria, who was out patrolling looking for more Pirates. Strangely as it may seem this happened only after England complained bitterly at the realisation that Spain posessed such a vessel, we were horrified to find that just such a vessel had then disappeared from the face of the Oceans!!

Our nations brightest thinkers are searching hard to find the answer to the question, just which nation is it that is responsible for these atrocities ???

[Ljube]

Russia is certainly not. We have in fact disbanded some of our ships for shields to speed up the production of Cossacks.

[Beta]

to LJube

[Paddy]

woo hoo

bring on the Cossacks

That's a beautiful and mighty ship you had there. We truly envy... err... envied you.

Sent to Paddy.

Russia announces her war goals.

Russia seeks freedom for the oppressed Balkan nations and free passage for Russian ships through the straits. Russia will not agree to a cease-fire until Belgrade, Athens and other Slavic and Orthodox Christian cities in the Balkans are free from Ottoman occupation.

[Paddy]

and onto Modo

party hard Ljube

[Modo44]

Two hours and still nothing. Please resend, just in case it isn't my mail server (this time).

[Paddy]

inbound now

[Modo44]

Now I got the e-mail with your answer, but still no save.

Or should I say... ???


Ok, here it is. Must have been quite a paty for the server administrators last night.


To Chrisius.

May 1801 sent to Prussia

[Paddy]

Lord von Beta

[Beta]

A lad's gotta do some work.

And keep your flea-pickin' hands off my coat.

Save to Ljube.

[Paddy]

you work, the ya eat, then ya sleep



now where do you see the words Civ pbem in there???

priorities me lad, ya really need to look at ya priorities

[Ljube]

Well, I looked at my priorities and decided to play my turn instead of sleeping

Sent to you Paddy. By the way, tell me how you do it. I'm cranking out enormous numbers of cossacks and other military with the help of a golden age and mobilization, and still can't match your numbers


I rejected trade offers from Spain, France and England. Although they were very generous, I had nothing to offer in return

I can tell you the answer to that question. France starts this scenario with a load of units, that's how...

[Paddy]

I sold every thing to everybody asap

then swung everything to production

then I rush things when they are at the right price

France is one big war machine

adding to this that I, like England, Austrai, and Spain predominantly start with productive nations, where Russia takes several turns to light the fires

May 1801 to Modo
