The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Some (not all!) of my friends require high payments for their friendship.

With friends like that ...

but then, if Persia is as weak as you say, maybe Byzantium should send off a little expeditionary force ... it would be nice to see a couple of shrines burning purely in the interests of cleansing the world from Hastogianism of course.

Damm it, the IG self overflowing again!

[India (DoC)]

the finasl show down between persia and india shoudl be fun , will it be war or something eldse

I don't think so. I expect everyone will adopt Tao soon and then elect me as religious leader, won't you? Or are you going to dissapoint me?? ( I hope so )

[Korea (DoC)]

the tao leader is up for vote
not for god to select but for man
i rather sail the world on a boat
than to think that any one can

be the leader of us all
we are a rabble and trouble
india is still standing tall
we say it or they burst our bubble

I have been digging through some ancient scrolls while preparing for our exile in the new world milady. Some of them may be important for your review. Particularily an ancient one regarding borders with the Ottomans.

-This is... With the new maps we have seen. Such shame. Such lying scum the Ottoman are. They claimed the western peninsula for they had no other lands to settle. The lands south of their capital alone were bigger than all of Mother Russia! Twice our size have they been all these years while feigning patheticness. I am too old to react to such treachery far in the past, but we can clearly see here that the Ottoman are a people without honor or trustworthyness. We will take this knowledge with us to the new world. I will make certain that they receive nothing of old Russia when we are gone.

-And this? Reports from our first colonists. Persia has no military anywhere in all of Persia? No garrisons, not even in their capital? Only the army that stands in Hastograd of some 100,000 troops? It seems Dominika was right all along, Russia could have defeated Persia. But now it is too late.

-And this map the Persians have sent of the new world? These are not rich lands!! There is not even enough room to replace what Russia has in the old world! And certainly not regarding resources!

-Oh I pray I was young and strong and could lead armies, for if so I would fight. I would fight the overconfident Persian , the greedy Ottomans, the devious Britannians, the plotting Arabs, the gluttonous Indians, and any who would dare to set foot upon Russian soil. Yet I am a venerable old woman, my time is nearly over and I have a greater task to administrate. Leave me, I have far much more planning to take care of.

OOC ... I am sorry but i did not notice who wrote this, ws it an old Dominika or another new leader that is aged too....

ooc @Russia:

Are you the original Russia player? If so I'd like to know why all this hostility, it seems one day you woke up and went from friendly to mute to this.

I do my best to follow the stories I apologize if I made an error in your characters, there are many to keep track of. Also, if I go by the Dynasty in your sig, Dominika is the latest ruler so you may want to change that.

Finally, I think it's ridiculous for you to post what you did in the very public forum of the story thread and then freak out and act like I should know these were just private thoughts. As far as I'm concerned, whatever's said in this thread is for the public eye, and I replied as such.

This is a game, it should be fun, lighten up or take it to the battlefield in the game, but enough with the hostility please it makes this not fun for me and I don't know what I did besides play the game as it's can/should be played.

ooc. you know we dont see eye to eye, but on tihs i agree with you ., you did nothin wrong...

[Persia (DoC)]

@Ottoman: it's common use that you tell stories about your empire and readers that can be read by other players ooc, without knowing them what happens ic.

I don't think that Russia wanted to come over in a negative way, or something.

But I agree with you that there's nothing to blame to you either.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Apols for the broken link - theodosius' tomb seems shy. The upload facility doesn't seem to be working.

[Russia (DoC)]

OOC: I killed off Dominika after the fall of Hastograd. Since then, High Priestess Roza has been administrating Russia until the heir is of age. High Priestess Roza has been around for a long time so I assumed she would be a familiar character to use as an interim ruler. And she is not part of the royal family, which is why she is not in the signature.

And what she is referring when overviewing maps, is the realization by Russia that 5000 years ago, when land was being settled, that the Ottomans lied so blatantly about the size of their lands that had not I believed them I would have gone to war over it back then. And yes, I am the same player that has run Russia since the first fall of St.Petersburg, now Hastograd. And the reason I have stopped talking to your empire is because it has nothing to offer me.

What I meant to show by that post was that Russia is isolated and resentful towards most nations for their actions or inaction. Whether that is truly justified or not is completely irrelevant, it is a feeling, a sentiment expressed by ingame characters to show how the Russians feel about the world. This is still a game, don't start taking things personal.
