Maori diplomat expelled!!!!

A diplomat reported this morning he was expelled from Chinese teritory near the city of Tatung.

While we let a diplomat from Tatung build an embasy in our city of Outpost the Chinese expelled the diplomat that was send to return the sign of friendship and trust.
Not only that but they shaved off his hair and took away the funds he brought to build the embasy.

We now have the following demands:

1, A public apology by the president of the Chinese.

2, The diplomat is compensated for his financial and emotional damage, estimated at 100 gold.


Untill our demands are met any Chinese without a valid Maori visa WILL be considdered an intruder in the yellow marked zone

Newsflash:

900AD: Maori capital is the first city to have more then 900.000 inhabitants

Here started WW of HOM

A silly ONE square island.

Atawa has tried to foolish a whole world. He gabe me a suggestion of agreement there he offered democracy and gold for the island. I rejected, because the island is good for research and I don't had use for democracy st the moment.

After that Atawa gifted me democracy and start whining in KC about that I don't give him the island as "agreed", but as I said above I don't agreed to his suggestion and I had told him that. So why did he offered me democracy with out demand anything back???

I can only see ONE reason: He tries to get the other players to think I broke an agreement!

He could do a barter there he demanded what he wanted! And he did it at the moment he suggested the treaty. So he know how to do it! It's clear he try to foolish the other players that a break a treaty!

Police action in the Pacific.

After our diplomat was expelled from Chinese occupied North Whananga we made it quite clear to Chinese that this was not acceptable and we demanded compensation.
But not only were our messages ignored, the Chinese build 2 new city's in the yellow marked zone to further show disrespect to the Maori people.

As we are a peaceloving nation we decided to give our neighbours one last chance and as a sign of goodwill proposed the following deal:

150 gold plus the teritory of california plus the secret of Democracy of witch the Maori had sole posession at the time was to be exchanged for the city of Kaifeng.
After some high pressure negotiating (My caravel with landing troops next to his undefended city ) The Chinese delegation ok'd this deal.

As a sign of good will and trust we gave them the knowledge of Democracy in advance witch was accepted bu the Chinese, when days later the Maori envoy arived at Kaifeng with the rest of the settlement the Chinese refused to give up the city, claiming they didnt agree with the deal.

Being backstabbed by the people we saw as good neighbours and friends for milleniums was too much, the Maori people couldnt stand by so much disrespect

As we didnt trust our neighbours we then proceded to build the Statue of Te Ao-marama so we could defend ourselves if needed.
In the meantime there were protests in all major Maori city's against the Chinese aggression.
The protests on the street got out of controll and the Maori goverment collapsed
In the chaos that followed the Chinese city of Kaifeng was captured by a unit of pikemen from Aloha.

Now we are in the situation that our next goverment is still unclear, the different fractions are still arguing and the outcome will be largely be influenced by the attitude of the Chinese goverment.

If needed we are prepared to take any meassures to ensure the Chinese can no longer threaten the Maori nation but we prefer to sign a peace treaty with the Chinese.

We still offer them 150 gold and the building rights in all of california if they are willing to sign a peacetreaty.
If the Chinese respect our claim to the islands of the big ocean (without japan and formosa whitch we considder Chinese) I'm sure our nations can live together in peace.

Fryslân has been brutally attacked by the Slavs.

Defeat has been thorough and decisive.

A bid for peace has been send to the Slav Consul:

Fryslân will cede all captured territories t the Slav in return for a lasting peace.

We have been cought completely by surprise, and we have witnessed that 10 minutes is not enough to defend our lands against such an onslought. During our turns we have been approached by so-called peace-brokers, but their words have been empty. While we accepted their terms during these negotiations, the clock ticked, and we have for the first time seen what happens then...

Fryslân bows to the superiority of the Slav forces, and we only wish peace for the Frysian people.

Gerben, Consul of the Frysians.

As he waited for his terminal to find the data for his history homework, Zontag shuddered. His government issued coat was not warm enough. He often wondered if the system that the inhabitants of this planet prior to the arrival of Mbleek race practiced, and of which his teachers always spoke with indignation, the so called "market economy", could provide him with a warmer coat.

But now the data loaded and he immediatedly forgot his cold. He always loved history. Today he had to read some of the old newspapers that survived the first nuclear winter in the city natives called Smara. There was gread library there once, and it proved a wealth of information for Mbleek researchers when they explored the schorched planet. He loaded the first paper. He studied the shape, the composition and layout of information. Then, he loaded the map, engaged translator, and began to read...

"Silence!"

The chairman slammed his hammer on the table, to no effect. Sabor [parliament] has descended into a cacophony of noises, shouts and screams. The ancient open roofed hall has seen many heated debates, but the one that went on these days was unparalleled. There was no semblance of order in the room.

Seated in a row below him was the government. The ministers argued as hotly as the rest, but one seat was empty, that of the Consul and wartime Supreme Commander.

Suddenly a trumphet sounded. All heads turned to the origin of the sound and all clamour stopped. The announcer stepped forward.

"Consul Branimir! All hail!"

Silence that wellcomed him in the room was a show of respect. It was this man, and his policies, that allowed Slavs breakthrough in the Thousand Years War, in which for the first time stalemate was broken and Armies of the People of the Land held the upper hand.

He climbed the speaker's podium.

"Lords and Gentlemen! Today, via a special envoy, I have received a message from Fryslan!"

There was commotion as representatives exchanged puzzled glances.

"The messenger says the rumours are untrue and Gerben is alive. He delivered to me a letter handsigned by him." Held waved it in the air.

"Lords and Gentlemen! The Fryslan want peace!"

Hundreds of mouths opened as one and once again the hall descended into disorder. Consul raised his hands. "Please! I have served this House well in matters of this war, now I come to you so we can establish a new policy! I will respect the wish of this House, but let us speak in order!

As the representatives silenced down, the eldest speaker rose.

"Hear me my colleagues, we need to establish peace! Have we not achieved our justice? The city built on the spot where Biograd was has been destroyed. And have we not won a prize? Two new cities to serve and further our progress. The Fryslan have learned their lesson, that no King, no Lord and no Nation can attack Slavs without repercussions. This struggle lasted for long centuries, and let us face it, it has set us back among the nations of the world! There is the ancient scripture we still hold, of reparations we demanded from the Frysk. I plead to you, let us find it, let us calculate the values in today's terms and let us, in the name of young men in our army, sign the peace!"

After him, in the order of seating, another one spoke.

"Representatives! The fact that Fryslan are asking for peace is a sign of their weakness! There is nothing more obvious, no path clearer than to charge into the city of Sneek, and take possession of the wonders of the world! This is our destiny! Only a fool would not see it! What fool would stop our advance now, and abandon the armies we paid much to train and equip! I say, let's use them. They want peace? We can sign it when we throw them into the ocean! That is all I have to say!"

And another.

"Comrades! Let us not forget the big picture! This world of ours is an ocean and a ripple in the ocean causes waves on the other shore! If we destroy the Frslan now, who will be our ally, when we turn on the Maori! Yes, Maori! It doesn't matter we are friendly with them now, but did we not see the reports!? They have built an Idol and they are becoming increasingly religious. One day, they will come like a tide and engulf all the free people in the world, and who will stand up to them? We, alone? Comrades, we need a world coalition, and we need Fryslan as part of it!"

And another.

"Respected House! You know me, I was a know merchant before I retired into politics. My ships have traveled as far as both Vananangas and seen all the great cities of Maori. Indeed they are rich! But you don't become rich by being stupid! Fanatics, nonsense! They are sensible traders! I have friends in the parliament of Maori! I have connections! I give this house my word; I can within weeks argue Maori into an alliance that will be profitable to us both! We shall take the Frysk possessions in Europe and they will take those in Vanananga for them! This will work gentlemen, give me your trust and I can do it!"



Long into that night, and the following, the debate continued...

Great stuff

[VetLegion]

Thanks, but what atrocious spelling! That's what I get for doing it at 3. A. M

And the plot thickenes as new world alliances begin to be forged....

[atawa]

Yeah, the game got a lot more interesting last session.

A lot of things can happen now, Winz has in fact got a BIG say in how the game goes ahead, refusing to sign a peacetreaty could mean the hardliners in the Maori nation getting the upper hand with us going Fundi/Commie, a peacetreaty could bring the democratic powers to power.

The other thing is our longtime allies the Frysians are under attack from the Slavs, the outcome of that conflict will also have much influence on how this game develops.

So, what entire world was speculating about is indeed true.

Darkness falls on us, as streetlights go off all over Europe...

[atawa]

Our Slaven friends dont have to be paranoid. On our arivel in your continent we set up an allience with the Frysians who were then very much the smaller party in the bloody war that raged over the lands, now this conflict has yet again heated up.

The Maori people wish this conflict to be over as it will only lead to an increase in arms spending witch will affect the whole world.
