Tales from the Diplomatic Front VI

[finbar]

MEMO TO: All concerned

FROM: The Great Raz Jnr

Well, Pop had to shoot into the office - yes, on a Sunday - and asked me to hop into the chair and guide the fortunes of his people for a day.

Sweeping aside the beer cans, well-thumbed copies of Hustler with every second page stuck together, and icy pole sticks, I discovered a relatively content tribe. But sorely in need of a more advanced form of Government, which, thankfully, came sooner rather than later thanks to the generosity of our very good buddy DEITY, leader of the Much MisSpelled tribe.

Discovering Pop had left some settlers building roads towards particularly choice building blocks, I encouraged the settlers in their progress, and, soon, at least 4 more cities were added to Pop's spread.

Oh, and on Pop's behalf, I came to an understanding with a nice man who told me he was Texan.

Um, what else? Oh yes, Mr Hydey was nice to me, too. He gave me stuff. So I gave him stuff in return.

Um, what else? Oh, yes. Someone said the boss of the Romans was a nice man, too, but I haven't met him yet.

Um, what else?

Nope, I think that's about it. Thanks for being so nice to me everyone. Here comes Pop home from his Sunday at the office -

"Hi Pop!"

"Hi son!"

"What'd you bring me?"

"Her name's Lydia"

"Lydia Who?"

"Lydia Trashcan"

"Don't give up your day job, Pop!"

THE DEITIANS fortunes improved somewhat in this era. Captain DEITICUS has done an excelent job and THE DEITY is nearly released from the time warp in Diplo IV
His coming is imminent.
It will be represented by much joy amongst THE DEITIAN nation but it could also bring much change to this world.... predictable patterns may change....

The Federation of United Civ Kingdoms, that had an acronym too disturbing to note, was quickly abbreviated to just FUC by the brilliant mastermind of the Federation, The Great Raz

It came to pass that hydey ho of the Sioux, one of the 3 founding members of FUC, did find a poorly Roman tribe and asked if they would like to get FUCed.
They quickly agreed, hoping to join in a universal gang bang, but soon discoverd it was all very hard work. However, the very clever hydey proceeded to help the Romans with techs and captured previous Roman cities from the Barbs and ceded them back to the Romans. The Romans loyalty to FUC is unquestioned with so many offers of assistance to help THE DEITIANS Wonder building program. Eventually The Great Library was built in DEITICUS and this will benefit the FUC member nations.

THE DEITIANS found their long lost love, the Fountinians, and proceeded to make advances on their Empress FUC was mentioned more than once!
But she was so impatient to become a FUC member nation that she, without awaiting the return of The Great Raz and true boss of FUC she quickly exchanged maps and techs with the rather unscrupulous Dangime of the Texans.
Empress, you took our maps, our techs...
You betrayed hydey's trust, I think?

I await the Great hydey's report on this matter...

[hydey]

The heavily hungover Hydey once again ruled the sioux empire with an iron tomahawk. In union with his Federation of United Civilization allies , the mad Finbar monks and the Deity nazies, continued to expand the mighty sioux lands. Upon hearing the distant cries for help from the long suffering romans, who were beseged buy blood thirsty barbarians. while other nations talked of helping the mighty HYDEY posibley in a drunken stupore sent the invincable sioux navy out to aid these poor retches the romans. Having rested the city of veii from the barbarian clutchs and banishing all barbarians from roman lands Sioux diplomatic corps made peace with the romans. The Romans, so pleased others came to help in there hour of need, humbly and respectfully became members of the powerfull FUC allience. This pleased Hydey and he ordered the imeadiate return of the city Veii to its rightful owner. Now that the romans problems have been fixed the sioux navy continued to explore finally making contact with a beatiful empress. Hydey wished to form close relationships with this beauty but was convinced by his FUC allies to wait until Raz of the Mad Monks returned to his rightful place in our allience before offering a FUC membership to the empress.
The sioux people continue to hear rumors of other empires as yet uncontacted , one a peacful nation known as the fun loving spanish the other only known as the EVIL YANKS is thought to be war loving and not to be trusted the sioux hope the proves untrue and that all nations can live in peace and we can all get FUCed together
Long may the FEDERATION of UNITED CIVILIZATIONS rule the world

Things have changed greatly in the world as can be seen from below top 5 citys


</p>

And refer the powergrapgh from end of session... Dangime Texan remains number one but very close to Deity nation and Mad monks, and accelerating towards the leaders quickly is the lovely empress who has now overtaken the previous quick moving Sioux. Also notice the upward movement of romans who have passed their helpers the sioux. Brining up the rear is the lowly spanish but they too are now accelarating..


</P>

[Empress]

Oh how quickly the FUC is to put such a spin on things to cloak thier black greedy hearts. Hydey never mentioned his membership in the FUC, nor did he ask me to join. We exchanged techs and maps in good faith, although I was troubled by his decline of an alliance, to which he did not give an explaination. Upon meeting the Deity,I was not told that FUC membership was simply a matter of asking the Great RAZ. I was told that there were already 4 members and Deity even told me to seek the friendship of the Americans. From those remarks did it seem that I was welcomed into the FUC with open arms??? How can you say that I betrayed you when you told me to seek an alliance with the Americans because you already had 4 members. Also, am I not right that the Romans were excepted with open arms without the consent of the Great RAZ Clearly the FUC has shown itself to hold a double standard and then to blame the whole situation on the Empress is just infuriating. It would appear that the Empress has found her true friends, ones who do not hold her to a double standard, who do not question her worthiness, who are happy to recieve her. These are the events as they truely happened and if the Deity is having a case of temporary amnesia, maybe he needs to review the conversation he had with Empress before he accuses her of being merely impatient.

[Rasputin00]

thanks for the borders Dangime.. makes it easier for me to know where i can settle...

and for clarification, any civ can enter FUC whether they are allied to Mad Monks or not....

FUC is just a wqorld organisation to allow peace to be promoted and allow exchange of techgs


We await Hydeys answer to the fact he stated to me he exchanged no techs, na dnow empres ssays he did.

Also did deity tell emporess to goto americans

[hydey]

The mighty Sioux empire can confirm that techs have only been traded with other FUC members. The Empress & I attempted to exchange techs but could not find a suitable trade due to the fact we were not allies we did however exchange maps. I hope this clears things for my eternal ally RAZ of the MAD MONKS

hooray hooray its a Hydey Hydey day

[Rasputin00]

amazing how people recall events differnetly ..!!!!

[Rasputin00]

and so this world has gone the way of many other worlds and become polarized again .. 2 allainces in fight to the end

[Frank Johnson]

FUC has certainly now shown its self to be a hostile organization, particularly against Texas. Through the agressive alliance of 4 major world powers they drasticly tilted the world balance of power, so it was only natural to make an alliance with my only friend Empress.

What's worse is that FUC member nations have activly and deliberatly attempted to undermine my only alliance, despite their already overwhelming advantage in power and number of cities.

The great council has returned their opinion on the clearly agressive anti-Texan actions of the FUC. They have given me the authority to wage limited wars against any FUC member who invades the confines of Texan territory, in order to drive them out. Futhermore, any pleading FUC member shall fall of deaf Texan ears, I am no longer concearned with the plight of the poor FUC that already dominates more than half of the world's nations and Texas will no longer engauge in the appeasement of any FUC member as they have in the past.

[hydey]

finally the true nature of the texans comes out, the waging of war there only true aim
on the other hand FUC still remain firm in there belief that peace and co-operation is the way of the futore

------------------
hooray hooray its a Hydey Hydey day

[Rasputin00]

It is with deep regret that the years without The Great Raz at the helm were cause for major world divisions. However, the Mad Monks remain committed to friendship with the Texans, and will abide by our limited settlement area in South Texas, an area now to known as Finbar Land, in honour of the great Chef who first settled this area. But due to the aggresive stance taken by the Texans we will be forced to caution our troops in Finbar land to shoot first and ask questions later when it comes to ANY encrouchment on our soil. Originally we had hoped for major defence pact where the Mad monks and Texans could join each year in celebration of the peace formed long ago.

And in addition , in the spirit of the Texan decree that all Texas land is Texan whether inhabited or not, as a member of the FUC we will be calling on all FUC members to declare the same cry, no Texan settlements on any land inhabited by FUC members, any such Texan settlement found without agreement of the respective FUC homeland member will be treated the same as the Texans have declared to treat others. Any and all lands that have been settled by any FUC member is now part of the FUC and till the Texans change their aggresive stance will be protected and not shared. If the Empress makes any similar statements as made by the Texans re vacant land sharing, then her presence on any FUC member continent shal lbe repelled as well. Hopefully the Texans will re think the stance they have taken and the consequences they are causing, The Mad Monks wish only peace, but cannot allow the aggresisive war mongering attitude to dominate the world into submissiion.
This world was made for sharing in what ever agreements civs could make, but to place total bans on sharing of vacnat land is not in best interests of peace.

A peace conference is to be called at the new Capital of the State of Finbar Land at FinbarVille. All appropiate peace pipe inhalants will be avaialble, we hope each civ sends a particpant to sign a new world border pact.....

[Frank Johnson]

Great Ras, the Texans as well desire peace, however in order to balance the quad barrled shotgun that is the FUC, firm stances must be taken that ALL FUC members can easily understand. Texan territorial claims are clearly graphically depicted in the map above and Texan expansion beyond that area is highly unlikely. The map has been posted for serveral days now, and no problems have been raised by any nation. For such issues to be raised at this late date would suggest many things, and only futher prove FUC's anti-Texan polacies. It was also foolish to believe that I would grant lands to nations who sought to dismantle fair alliances with friends of Texas.

Futhermore, what you refer to as "sharing" at this point would be outright theft, as you, the founder of the FUC already reconized Texan territorial claims, and pledged not to assist any foolish enough to violate that area.

In addition, I assure you that I will not leave a tempting target for long. The establishment of 2 new cities early in the next session should put down any chance of illegal foreign involvment in Texan lands, which will make any transgressions all the more serious.

Texas continues reconizes its ancient pact with the Mad Monks, and hope that the FinbarLand penisula thrives under your reign.

[iadkins]

Out of role-playing mode:
I suggested to Empress to approach Dangime if she wished because 5 civs in FUC would have been absurd. Surely you all agree with this?

I was teasing Empress when I suggested she was a traitor. Of course she wasn't and THE DEITY is displeased with Captain DEITICUS's comments (Into role mode now)

-----

THE DEITIANS respect all territorial claims of all nations. WE seek to trade with all nations but will support our FUC allies in any conflicts.
