The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Story Thread Pt3 - November 2009]

[Rome (DoC)]

Roman Traitor

Hail Great Wang Ka,

Roman police have found a suspect to the murder on your father. We are ashamed that this person, who is part of a large group of Roman merchants, seems to be involved in the events that recently shocked your nation. Since we are also continuously under siege by covert action from our neightbor Exeter we send you the traitor to dispose of at your own leisure.

Hoping that our swift response convinces you of our good intentions,

Aeneas, Rex of Rome

[Byzantium (DoC)]

My neighbours and friends,

I am greatly disturbed by the news of the turmoil to my south. I hear reports of more and more assassinations, of espionage and of the gathering of great armies.

I urge you all. Do not let the wolves of war rampage across our fair continent. There are other ways of solving your disputes. Please, mediation and compromise is a better way. Come, send your representatives to Constaninople, talk is better than war.

Theodosius of Byzantium

[Ottoman Empire (DoC)]

Founding Father: Mehmed (died peacefully)
Active Ruler: Bayezid (son of Mehmed, brother of Murad)

Murad was pleased, although he was not chosen as ruler of all of Ottoman, he was marrying Dominika, ruler of the mighty Russia, who had just defeated the Byzantines, no easy feat.

His brother, and active ruler of Ottomans, Bayezid, was even marching north to Russian lands now, accepting the wedding invitation. Bayezid was doing a better job than Murad had thought he would. Although he had been responible for the decline in Ottoman prowess, he had spread the religion of Hastog to nearly all Ottoman cities, he had completed the expansion so that Ottoman cities now were at 11, and he had forger closer ties with the mighty Persians.

Word was that something big was stirring for all Hastog worshipping nations and Murad was proud to include his brothers in this group.

Yes, things were looking up...

[Inca (DoC)]

My Friends,

I speak now without emblem or symbol. I have read the report of my Apo's and they point to but a choice of two culprits. My very own Father was murdered by the command of this vile beast. What is ever a soaring legend of perfidy the beast yet slew the peaceful monarch of Korea! Upon our very own soil this disgusting act was perpetrated and for what reason?

Tawantin Suyu is a tiny nation. It is perhaps smallest in the world but I lead it and I am not tiny or weak. The Quechua will have justice and not just for themselves but for the many others that have been wronged by this man. Pride he may have and great power that he might think the small shall never receive justice. This is untrue for the victims may choose not to be just to be pushed aside. I shall ponder upon this report and discuss with my Apo where they draw their conclusions from.

Kind words we hear from Constantinople about talking with murderers. Wolves they say will bring us to war. If I am right in my thinking that wolf shall bite the very throat from the murderous devil that poisons our fair continent.

I am more than a mere angry son.
Capac Yupanqui

[England (DoC)]

The King is dead

Old King Exeter was found dead today in his bed chamber.............

[OzzyKP]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Dominika,

Thank you for your invitation to the great event of your marriage.

As you may know there is great threat of war on my southern border. The land is in turmoil with accusation and counter-accusation of espionage and preparation for war. It is a difficult time for me to leave Constantinople.

However, few events can be more important than your wedding, marking not only great joy for you, but the emergence of a new positive relationship between our countries. So I have decided to come. My son Justinian is a great military officer already - he will handle Byzantine policy well during my absence.

So I come.



My trireme is leaving the docks at Constantinople to sail up the Marmara to the sea, and on to Russia.

Theodosius.

[Korea (DoC)]

The new Grand Wang Ka sat in his throne room, before him was the battered man that the romans had sent him.

Is he ready to confess yet he asked

Yes sire he is, he has uttered a full confession

Good good. and so the romans were his paymasters ?

No sire, he has spoken nothing of his paymasters.


Wang ka arose from his chair and walked to the man on the floor. Bleeding from many wounds. Wang Ka spat at him.
So you kill our great leader and the Incans too. Why? Who are your masters?


The man looked up, his eyes pleading for mercy I cannot say, my lord, they wil lkill me. please hav emercy on me i only did as i was told.

wang ka kicked him repeatedly. Did you have mercy on my ancestor."? he kicked again. or on the incans he kicked again and again.or on your own peopel when selling tech secrets to the english. Yes we know of your crimes. now speak up and tell us who paid you and we may give you mercy.


The man spat blood and struggled to breathThe English did order these deeds.

Wang ka smiled.... So at last the truth was known...

Write to the Incans and the Egyptians tell them of these latest discoveries of truth. Also write to the Romans, thank them for there rapid repsonse to finding this criminal. Tel lthem he wont bother anyone again

Wang ka drew a sword from a guard and slashed off the head or the roman merchant

[Byzantium (DoC)]

King Henry of England,

Please accept the condolences of the whole Byzantine nation at the death of your father Exeter. These are difficult times - the howls of wolves echo around our borders. Nobody would wish to take over the reigns of rulership at a time such as this. May God bless you.

Theodosius.

[Korea (DoC)]

The rise and rise of Kim Jong-Il

As a young boy little Kim did dream of one day leading the nation of korea. Being from none royal blood there was no chance fo this occuring.

But as th boy grew he became wiser and wiser.

Till one day when korea was in turmoil with assination and the end of the bloodline.


Kim did walk into the palace and looked at the leader apointed by the tribunal and laughed. This will not do he said.

Kim spoke with the tribunal and the new leader and it was soon resolve,d Kim was apointed the new Great Leader of all of Korea.

His power grew daily and soon he dissolved the full tribunal of advisors and all decisions were his alone.

He spoke to england about their crimes agaisnt the world and they agreed to allow Korea access to the Peninsula. Korean Soldiers found a small village of Barbarians and drew up plans to rid the world of them forever. The english wante d korean wine but there was not enough t oshare as of yet. when a new supply was made it would be offerd to the world.

Sabatagoe was announced in the Western Isles. 400 miners killed in a rock slide caused by enemy infiltrators. Again England was suspected but denyed all knowledge.

Kim Jong-Il got word from his navy of the great maps they were making and it was late in Fall that word arrived of the discovery of a large island to the south.

It was not uninhabited, it had more of the evil barbarians and Kim Jong-Il put orders into clear this new island. This new land was to be called South Korea and the Original Korean lands now known as North Korea.

Kim Jong-Il was please to hear of the fouding of the science Academy on Korea Procinve it self. Korea celebrated this gret scientific breakthru.

Kim Jong-Il signed a formal agreement with the Incans a full non agression pact against esch other. Gifts were exhanged upon the signing.

Kim Jong-Il also found some old hidden texts in the palace, it was not time to rlease the informnatio nhe had found yet. but the truth would some day be known

[India (DoC)]

Last night from the deepest chamber of the Sha'tao citadel Sha'tur sent a vision to his high priests. They all saw the Sha'Tao symbol, a white dragon emerged from it and flew above the land. Space and time seemed to be blurred and images catched their eyes. Images of war and images they could not understand..

[Arabia (DoC)]

Mecca Weekly - Trade Embargo

Royal court advisors have announced that all border agreements with English are closed. A trade embargo is now in effect. English diplomats have been escorted to the border under armed guard and ejected from the country after the Roman ambassador advised that they were thieves and spies. Rome was a victim of technology thievery. Saladin in support of his Roman friends has broken off relations with England. Citizens are advised to keep an eye out for mungie cakes and are authorized to place anyone eating fish and chips in detention for investigation by the Saladin Royal Guard.

AP Mecca.

[Arabia (DoC)]

Founding Father: Mehmed (died peacefully)...

The Arabian people send their condolencies.

[England (DoC)]

Henry being king for only one day was brought the horrific news.

"My king there are rumors that we have an 5 civilization (there is talk about a 6th but that is still to be supported) alliance against ourselves"

"civilizations that wish to tear us apart and take everything for themselves, they use some sorry excuses just to be able to invade us and chew us apart"

Henry thought for a sec.

"hmm not a bad first day - 5 enemies vs 1 hmm i guess other rulers do not have the balls to come face to face, so they use and manipulate others into joining them."

My countrymen England will soon be exterminated, surely these many nations do not come only for 1 or 2 cities, they come to kill every women, child and men.

It is very possible that we have only a few days till England merges into history.

It seems my words now could be the last one you hear as well. I have heard that many of you have send your childrens into Byzantium for safety, very good.

For the rest of you, old, young, men or women I will join you in defending our homes, we will try to fight for everyone house and field.

Fair well people of England, God save England, God save England!

[Persia (DoC)]

Guru Fedaz,

A growing alliance is ready to strike against India.
They dominate our region and blacken our future.
We need money and knowledge to fund this invasion.

Because India is your main competitor for world power we hope you are willing to support our invasion.
The time has come to work together against the big powers.

We are looking forward to your response,

signed,

[anonymized (by Persia)] on behalf of [anonimized], [anonimized] and [anonimized]

[anonimized],

I hope you don't mind that I address your message in public.
I want to make my answer clear for once and for all for all nations on earth.

Persia doesn't know about these 'Indians' nor do we acknowledge the concept of 'competitor for world power'.
We simply follow our own agenda and smash those away that stand in our paths.
Other nations that do not stand in our paths can grow and expand all they want. More power to them, we don't care and we will certainly not try to stop them.

Now don't be silly!
Don't think that Persia will support or fund your agenda.
We have better uses for our money.
Good luck achieving your goals, do like Hastog teached: "remove those who stand in your way, leave those untouched that you cannot remove."

And don't bother me again unless you have something to offer that benefits Persia for real.

Guru Fed'Az of Persia
