The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Story Thread Pt4 - December 2009]

[Ottoman Empire (DoC)]

Bayezid, ruler of all Ottomans has 2 statements to make on this day;

1) Bayezid would like to personally apologize to Wallace of England for the trespassing of an Ottoman spy in English lands. The spy's family has been sent to the bottom of the sea and it will not happen again. Please accept our most humble of apologies. We look forward to good relations with the English moving forward.

2) Dominkia of Russia, have you gone mad in your old age? We were the closest of allies, I sent my brother Murad to be your husband and then one day, out of the blue, you stop communication and attack Persia. A foolish act and also one that put us in a most uncomfortable situation. You lash out at all your old friends, tell me, what does it say of you that you have no friends now? You are certainly a rabid dog at this point that must be put down.

You should be careful of how you act, for just as we were neighbours in the Old World, we will be in the New World too.

You owe us, as well as our friends the Britannians and Arabs an apology.

[Russia (DoC)]

(OOC @ Ottoman and some others. It seems you don't follow events. First of all, Dominika is dead. 2nd of all, what is said in the inner chambers of the Russian palace is merely a display of internal thoughts not open letters to foreign nations. Unless you have spies in the inner circles of Moscow palace you could not know what the High Priestess is thinking or saying. Please read my posts properly and not only what is surrounding the word Ottoman. )

Nations of the World!

You must see what this Anglo-Korean Treaty really means. It means an alliance against Peru shrouded in kind words. An enemy in a past war in a pact with the very nation that rallied for the war and then did nothing!

A final betrayal Korea? Is there worse to come? We fear so but know that you will receive not a single sou for your grand gesture in aid of Quechua, Rome, Arab and Greece being but a single galley. Fine words you always offer but Korea knows nothing of honour and would prefer to hide under the skirts of a mighty nation being yellower than her mock battle flags. Nothing do they know of blood.

England, old enemy, Peru holds you in respect and acknowledges the guilt of the Emperor in his war. Beware, for he still lives and until we track him down and finally put him in to his pyre Peru is not safe.

[Korea (DoC)]

I guess your army and galleons buidling up hav entohign to do with a palnned asttack,,

whatever... you can spin this whatever way yuo like but you have been planning an attack on korea for along time..

you couldnt budge the english so you hav emade a decision to attack myself.

your continmual build up of troops has and lack of support from india has forced me to join with the english.

you can post any crap you like but it has always bene your plan to attack me. i have all the messages sent back and forwards betwen us.

hoe many other nations helped you build navy when you needed one. for you to only lose it in war. you turn on me now not because of history but becaue of the type of leader you are. you are an agresive leader who choosees to make stories for jsutiifyiong your attacks on others. you attacked theneglish simply becasue you were bored. now you choose to build an army again and this time as i stated to you in all my private messages you are eying my lands.

so be it. but if the rest of the tao nations sit idley by and allow your aggression to go unchecked then it will show the world who you are.

The english are joining the tao clan so i can ally with any tao i choose to.

so lets see what rolls on now , but i am fed up being the target of your comments claiming i am bad or aggresive. not once have i spoken ill of you. i have only done all i cna to aid you.

So this is not for diplomatic reasons you do this aggesive stance but for some game you playing.

India mali and natives,,, look how they speak to me , am i not jsutiifed in this repsonse..

Coward of Korea,

Peru has never intended an attack upon you. Why do the Quechua fight England with weak allies when alone Korea was sweet meat ripe for the spit?

The you army you feared has gone. It was not a new army but Peru's only army brought back from the English border.

What Galleons? Peru has only one carrying a settler and archer cover. Hardly an invasion force.

How do India, Mali and Natives speak with you? Does it reflect upon Peru? I doubt so.

It is worthless to speak to you so I shall save my efforts for worthier efforts.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Finally the end came

As knights kept vigil deep in the ancient church of constantinople



Theodosius the pious breathed his last.

For many in Byzantium the news was greeted with great reverence but with hopeful hearts. Justinian, the man of science and progress, had caught the imagination of many. For too long Byzantium had been ruled by the priests, stuck in the old world, and frozen foreign policy. Now, new life would be breathed into it.

Even so, Theodosius was laid to rest according to the old rites.



Already called a saint. Perhaps his tomb would become a place of pilgrimage too, just as that of Constantine the Martyr's in Antioch. Perhaps though the days of pilgrimage were passing.

Justinian immediately consolodated his hold on power, being acclaimed Emperor by the aristocratcs of the dying age, as well as knowing his backing among the new men. There would be no anarchy in Byzantium.

[Korea (DoC)]

Again peruvian leader. you can post whatever you like here , but i will post pictures of the galleons and troops if i have to.

If you are truly a taoist brother then you would not need such large numbers of soldiers anywhere near a border with myself or other tao leaders.

soon egypt too wil ljoin us.

so any forces you have should be moved to the border with other religious leaders.

whislt they sit so close to galeons i will fear them as you have shown in past you are prepared to use force simply for pleasure sake to stop being bored.

[Korea (DoC)]

To all nations of the world...

Korea has for many years been isolated by gaps of seas and oceans from neighbours and by sheer distance of the world from many.

Now in the global age of exploration we have met many other nations and mapped their lands. We see that many stories released over the years have not been as accurate as others.

Some have claimed they land locked, no room for expansion and other such statements. We now see these same nations have so much more land than others.

But that is not good or bad in the land they have only in that they withheld or even fabricated information. This reveals the type of culture in those nations. This is infoirmation for future leaders to remember.

But korea now wishes to reveal all to everyone.

We seek oppurtunities to share our maps with all.

Come join us in our summer palace in Southern Korea and speak of the future of the world.

We invite all to come. Bring your wisest men to discuss with our wise men. Bring your church leaders to speak with our religous people. Bring your generals to speak to our militart leaders. Bring your merchants to speak with our wealthy class. We wish a full opurtunity for the world to speak to each other.

We know many will not come , but for the sake of a new begining we askl you all to forgive the past , many of the mistakes were ours, we are learning to ammend the mistakes of our fathers. But do come , speak to us .

Lord of the Koreas.

[Persia (DoC)]

Lord of the Koreas,

We have no interest in your maps nor do we have interest to speak with your wise men or generals. We only have interest in Persia and Hastogianism.

Guru Fed'Az of Persia

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Lord of Korea,

The Byzantine people hail you as leaders in this new world of sail - your discoveries of distant lands have done much to revolutionise thinking in our world, and the relegate to the past the dominance of religion in our world.

I will dispatch a delegation of professors and merchant princes to Korea immediately.

Justinian

[England (DoC)]

Justinian,

I Wallace leader of the English send you my deepest condolences. Your father was a friend of England. I hope your rule be as long as his was.

Wallace

[England (DoC)]

To Apos and Apusquipay of the Peruvian Republic and our friends the Korean leaders.

I hope you two find a more common tongue. This is not the time to be hostile towards each other. England should know best, as the country to be invaded by the largest forces the world has seen. War brings no one good. Only much death!

Lets open a new page start working together. As you two know very well, Tao will become our religion soon. I will continue to do my best and try to resolve what differences you have between each other. Peru, England has forgotten the past, I m ready to reach out and aid you with what we can.

Korea, England is loyal to its treaties.

To the world, England will not sit back and see its friends set on fire by invaders.

Know this if Korea is attacked by anyone they will be automatically starting a war with England. As history has shown, our capabilities are enough to match the power of 4 enemies.

In peace,

Wallace

[India (DoC)]

Ramesses,

Why are you hesitating? We are eager to hear your answer even if we have no doubt you will make the right choice.

[India (DoC)]

The King is dead, great King Kaliph has passed away. As a tradition all India will celebrate the King's Return to God. Usually this celebration goes along with the coronation ceremony of the new king, but now there is no rightfull heir to the throne. It's now the coucil's duty to lead the country and wait for a sign from God to show who is deemed worthy to lead our nation.
