Attention TNA!!!
Attention all Nations of this world!!!
This is an official Blood Cell announcement!!
(the Blood Cell is the Blood Oath Horde intelligence agency and foreign office)
Members of the TNA, I Chief Chrisius Maximus, Co-founding Father of the Blood Oath Horde, Brother to the Khan, Lord Chief Chancellor of the Blood Cell do hereby solemnly swear to all foreign dignitaries from all nations that this announcement is genuine !!
Lords of all the Nations, we live in dark times indeed!! And we in the BOH have a ground swell of opinion in favour of calling a cease-fire!!
With immediate effect our troops within Desolation Row lands will stand down from their intended battle plans, the orders have been sent to all company commanders to stand down!!
Fellow Lords of the TNA, it is with deep concern that we say unto you that no !! I repeat NO further aggressive action will be carried out by BOH forces until such time as there has been a consultation of the TNA and some clear evidence has been put forth to show the commitment of our supposed allies in this war!!
However I think the BOH is now very willing to listen and contemplate the voices of the Desolation Row, whose people have, it has to be said stood bravely against the forces of three nations!! BOH now finds itself at a crossroads wondering why in the first place its troops are so far, indeed so very far from home ?!!
We were asked to come to the defence of an ally but we seem to be far from that allies lands, having already destroyed Sidon in the name of the alliance!!
Have we been swayed by current affairs, well perhaps, we have to accept that 1889's comments about the Desolation Row not being the actual aggressor have some credibility!!
So yes maybe current events have caused the Horde to think about its actions, however there are also a great many concerns for the Horde stemming directly from its treatment at the hands of it allies!!
The Horde asks publicly Babylon where is your commitment? We have only read of reports of 4 or 5 armed bands of Horsemen!!
Euphorica, we all felt your nations pain when many of your troops were brutally cut down on Mt Massacre by the Desolation Row, however we still fail to understand what on earth your generals thought they were doing by going to war alone and with a pitiful force in the first place. It has to be duly noted that BOH has found your generals very difficult to work with. If you had waited for us to coordinate with you then maybe our efforts would not have been so much in vain!!
To both our allied nations we in the Horde ask where are your victories ? Only the Horde has tasted victory in this war!!
To Desolation Row we are willing to enter into a discourse with your people to see if there can indeed be a peaceful resolution to this fiasco!!
Lords of the TNA we in the Horde do not take kindly to treachery!! we will not commit our forces to a fight that you do not also commit to fully!! We believe a full summit of the TNA is most urgently required and to Desolation Row we accept your proposal for a cease-fire forthwith!!
Finally it remains for me to inform the nations of the world that our great Khan Paddy is facing many questions from the many angry Warriors of the Horde. Although I feel his grip on the helm is quite safe it must be noted the Horde is just that, a Horde with many voices!! There are many divisions at this time, and we have accepted this plea for a cease fire to allow a period of debate within our own ranks. Too many times too many questions have been raised!!
I remain faithfully yours,
Chief Chrisius.

Don't eat the yellow snow.

I think I speak for everyone that does not belong to DR or Boh when I say:
Oh Sh!t.
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

I wonder why we started then stopped?

I concur give peace a chance is good..but what will happen next week?
or the week after?
I will go along with the BOH but reserve committing then pulling our forces back
I shall have to mull this over a wee bit![]()

*To an outsider we in Babylon have a funny way of
talking. "Crap" is not always a bad thing. Being
used as fertilizer, it has a good meaning as well. As
in the following exchange between two field workers:
Shadrach: Greeting Avednego. How is my crappy friend?
Avednego: All is well. Same crap different day. And
you?
Shadrach: I'm craptastic. Are you still ******** that
load of crap bellydancer?
Avednego: Of course. You've seen her, why would I
give that up?
Shadrach: True. She looks like crap. Well, I must
be going. Enjoy your crappy job.
Avednego: Yes. And you have a crappy day.

good thing is that you dont need to rename TNA. it works just as well as "Two Nation Alliance". Try and look on the bright side.

Can the Horde call a cease fire when they have yet to fight or offer anything to the TNA?

OOC!!
OK folks this Out Of Character!!
I understand that some people may have found the opening post to this thread a shock, frustrating, annoying or any other of a host of descriptives.
However can we all try to remember that this is a game we are playing and that we will at times partake of a little roleplay!!
My post and this thread is intended to provoke other players of this game into some roleplay of their own!! so please anyone who has uncontrolable urges to rant and rave or insult anyone over this use the PM function rather than filling this thread with BS.
I believe we have a trash talk thread already!!
This thread is solely for the purposes of negotiating a cease fire between the TNA and DR and all posts are to be IN CHARACTER thanks
Some of you may see fit to edit some of your posts, when this has been done ill zap this sucker![]()

Wow, what a thread....
As some of you are aware, I have been out and about with Kith and Kin for a few celebrations. These have taken some time, and I apologise for my absence and some grief it has caused here.
I need to get my head around this folks...
ok, one issue at a time, and this looks the most important.
ok, now I am more confused. Micha, are you saying I sent you hate filled emails?Originally posted by Micha

OOC:
Paddy, please come out of character soon, for many here start wondering whether those hatred-filled eMails were your personal feelings or roleplay by the Khan...
or do you mean the MANY emails that went between various members of Team Babylon and myself the other night?
I had been trying to get clarification from Team Babylon on a deal that had not been followed through with as agreed. if this is the case, do you really feel my statements were hate filled?
maybe you could post these comments of mine that you feel are "hate filled." I am certainly interested in where you feel I have been hate filled to you old chap. I am also interested in if it be against your Team Babylon, a team I have gone into bat for with the Horde many times.
Yes Micha, I was highly frustrated in the fact that as I was getting long and very detailed replies from Babylon, yet the questions that I asked were not being answered. It was like I was asking if the colour of your nation was blue, and I would get a reply explaining to me that the skies that we see in the daylight are mainly blue due to the sun reflecting off the water. Sure I was getting an answer, and getting great information, yet the information was not the answer to the question asked.
So I am here, and am willing in this open thread to answer your charges of sending "hatred filled emails"
I just need to see some information as to what you refer to.![]()
let's start with the agreement between the Horde and Babylon![]()

Yes, I am referring to the "correspondence" between Babylon and you. We were sensing a plot against our nation as we found you being extremely over-sensitive and aggressive in your letters, while the Paddy we know from DGs isn´t. So we (many of us) were wondering whether it was you being drunk, you being mad at us personally or you being the Khan of the bloddthirsty Horde seeking a casus belli on us.
I will not publicate the letters in question as we Babylonians have decided to not engage in "mud slinging" (as Beta put it) over the issue.

So first of all you accuse someone of insulting you, and then you refuse to show any evidence? You already have permission to post you correspondance, so why don't you let you fellow players have a chance to form their own opinions...
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
Flowers and a beer for dear Chris!
Micha, Paddy, Krill - I think the heads of state have discussed these brotherly emails. I do not think it wise to reveal TNA strategy in the open.
Paddy has already been briefed on the level of 'hatred' and I believe that Babylon now understands the pressure of being Khan.
Let us not drag this any further into the streets.

Yes, I have just read the explainations. It is ok for me, though there are still issues to be discussed. Paddy, thanks for clarifying, I think the matter has lost some of it´s explosiveness now.![]()

Keep laughing. I'm sure this is all very funny from the outside.
If indeed this so-called TNA is in jeopardy, you shall get no sympathy from us, as we received no sympathy from you despite our complete lack of aggression towards anyone. Perhaps you should instead learn to fight, as we have
To those of us on the outside throughout these covert arrangements, it really does appear that the alleged TNA was really just a figment of somebody's imaginationOriginally posted by Micha

Speaking as the interior minister for BOH, I have to take exception. We have lost way too much, and simply can not continue our war. We must get the mothers to have more babies for our lost horde of previously built and now destroyed armies. All this was done at great expense to our production and expansion...Originally posted by skrobism

Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy's plans; the next best is to prevent the junction of the enemy's forces; the next in order is to attack the enemy's army in the field; and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities.--Sun Tzu

That's interesting - which battles were those?Originally posted by Rcoutme2
