Saturday Night (USA) Diplo Game

[Rasputin]

seems i missed the start, had so many things on my m,ind recently sorry bout that guys.. If ozzy wants to play on thats fine .. I will becoem a sub...

[OzzyKP]

Well i'm somewhat interested in the game, but I really, really don't want to get sucked back in to the world of Civ again since it takes away from all the important things I need to do conquering the world in real life. So maybe we could rotate Raz. I think this was discussed earlier. You play one week, I play the next week. This way i can get involved but it takes up less of my time (hopefully).

Also, hopefully soon my social life will reemerge and Saturday nights will be bad for playing games. I'm a swinging college chap after all. But if we can keep switching off then either one of us will be good with taking over full time if one's schedule makes playing in this game problematic.

THE DEITIANS...

From 4000 BC, the First Epoch of Deiticus

It hovered in space over the blue planet.

HE had spoken the word and the pod drifted gently to the ground.

The chosen one, Captain Deiticus, felt at home with his small tribe in a southern island continent. It seemed to remind him of something.

HE, the lord and master of many planets, looked fondly upon his new quest. HE thought to HIMSELF - someday they will rediscover me, the one true God... but that will be in about 6000 years. Till then, farewell my Captain and beware the yellow peril and all his running dogs...

The small tribe of DEITIAN settlers built their first city by a river surrounded by lush pastures and grasslands. It was called deiticity in honour of the one true universal ruler. Many planets had been conquered, Deiticus knew this and his task was before him. Coming from a supreme and spotless line he would maintain peace and goodwill to any fair peoples discovered on this new Earth, despite the warnings of deity.

He ventured North with his second tribe of followers and established deitigod .

All research was concentrated on discovering seafaring craft so that the next city could be established on an island to the NW of the DEITIAN continent. deity had spotted it from the craft and given the co-ordinaters to Deiticus.

Whilst deiticity organised another band of explorers, deitigod built the first craft capable of sea travel. The explorers hastily set forth to this island surrounded by 4 whale resources and quickly built deitigodfather.

Very soon Deiticus was proclaimed King and rapid establishment of more cities was underway.

The Cantonese made contact near deitigodfather and were so surprised to find our city already there that their initial reaction was some utterance like, "UPYOURS".

King Deiticus went into diplomatic overdrive and agreed to encourage them to establish their city on an island to the SW. A strategic alliance was forged and the two great civilisations co-operated in all manner of things.

Deiticus was particularly concerned when the Yellow Indian people refused to make contact despite their abilty to do so. But they did rapidly establish an embassy with us, without a word! deity's warnings of the yellow peril rang in Deiticus' ears. And it soon became clear that these were NOT Indians at all. They were Aztecs, the most feared and remorseless war-mongers ever to have appeared on any planet. Upon establishing an embassy with them Deiticus discovered that they had allied with another peoples hyding somewhere in the far NW. Both these civilisations had the war like abilities of elephant fighting machines, which were sighted off the Western borders of the Cantonese, and it was clear that these two dangerous nations posed a possible threat to the peaceful world order...

Dipomatic missions to the wonderfull and currently supreme Cantonese nation consolidated our strategic planning...

King Deiticus would maintain a steady peaceful approach through solid defence and vigilance. Already our great alliance had nearly amassed a greater defensive army than most other nations.

THE DETIANS prospered and covered their great land with towns and infratructure. There were considerable obstacles with much desert terrain but careful planning may minimise this problem.

World Map 675 BC

Most Honorable Metalhead cartographer Glen Danzig completes his first survey of the world.

[Makeo]

The Tenochca peoples of Mexica were commanded by their god Huitzilopochitli to journey to the south whereupon they came across the struggling indian civilization. The indian people were a wild and uncivilized people and they became known as the Chichimec to the tenochca. The indian people welcomed the civilizing influence of the tenochca and eventually were absorbed into the tenochca tribe. However the other tribes living in the same area as the indians, principally the Culhuacan were less welcoming and eventually drove the tenochca away from the fertile valley. The tenochca were forced to the oceans edge were they founded Tenochtitlan, literally place of the Tenochcas.
The council of wise men convened and elected Makeozacoatl to the position of Huey Tlatoani or Great Speaker, Huitzilopochitli’s representitive on earth. Makeozacoatl or Makeo as he became known, set about the construction of Tenochtitlan with great fervor and the establishment of a stable government and religious hierarchy were his top priorities. As a result Tenochtitlan grew in size dramatically as well as its influence over the surrounding areas so much so that the previously superior Culhuacan were driven out of the fertile river valley to the north west of Tenochtitlan which allowed construction of Teotihaucan. Further population growth led to a settlement being established to the south west which became known as Xiocholco. This triple alliance of cities with Tenochtitlan as the dominant partner began a rapid expansion in population, technology and cultural diversity.

Makeo’s next priority was the exploration of lands outside the fertile valleys of the triple city state and therefore sent out jaguar knights to the east and west. The expedition to the east eventually came into contact with the Cantonese at their town of Canton and to honor Quetzalcoatl a trade of information occurred as well as a loose establishment of borders. The expedition to the west led to the establishment of diplomatic ties with the Ukranian tribe.
The jaguar knights in Canton continued on their westward trek passing through Canton and into the arctic regions to the north. Only due to their endurance, strength and courage given to them by Huitzilopochitli were they able to survive. These entrepid explorers eventually discovered land far to the east of Mexica. Much to their surprise the land was occupied by two allied tribes. The Atlanteans and the Americans.
At the same time the westward expedition had come into contact with the Carthaginians.

At about this time Quetzalcoatl blessed the Tenochca priests with the knowledge of mapmaking and the ability to construct ocean going vessels. Two more cities were established on the islands of the coast of Mexica and Canton. These were Tlamanalco and Texcoco. These ocean going settlers noticed an island abundant with natural resources but unfortunately it was already occupied and therefore the settlers continued on their journey.

The discovery of the American alliance led the council of wise men and Makeozacoatl to reevaluate the Tenochca’s diplomatic relations with the Ukranians and Carthaginians and a true triple alliance was formed. Further expansion to the north of Tenochtitlan led to the establishment of Malinalco, Calixtilahauca and Valladolid soon to be renamed Atzcapotzalco.

Makeo ordered a mission to the island tribe noticed by the settlers of Texcoco and due to the missions importance sent a tlacatecuhtli. The tlacatecuhtli immediately noticed the inferiority of this island tribe, which called itself the deitians. The belief in only one god and their utter reliance on this belief was obvious to the Tenochca. The deitians were obviously overawed by the Tenochca, mistaking their advanced technology and cultured ways for warlike behavior. The tlacatecuhtli feels it is the Tenochca’s duty to educate our less advantaged brothers and bring the benefits of Tenochca civilization to the deitians.

So, war is declared?

LMAO! Great post Makeo

World leaders, do you endorse the Aztecs attitude? THE DEITIANS come in peace and wish dialog and trade with all great nations. Any nation attacking another requires a genuine reason like a border conflict or an overlapping resource but any blatant aggression in far off lands must be viewed with disapproval by the world community. Such a nation would surely lose it's allies and be brought into check by other world powers? I trust such events will not come to pass in these ancient times...

*** Just a note here Neither Rasputin or Ozzy showed up for tonight's session. Thankfully winzity was able to sub in. We'd just like someone ahead of time to claim the atlantian civ, and say "I'm gonna play the next session!" I've don't care how its settled I'd just like to avoid having the poor civ have a new owner every session.***

The Cantonese empire found new lands harder to come by in the last few hundred years. With the settlement of manchuria and the Russian Far East the Cantonese saw their period of rapid expansion end and took up the task of developing their vast empire. Explorers still look to deep forests and jungles for new expansion possiblities, but when the period of social unrest ended in 125 BC the new republic government took up the task of internal development with new rigor. Roads, farms, temples, grew along side cities whom increasing demand for water led to the construction of huge aquaducts to supply the growing needs. All these tasks may not have the same glory as settling unknown lands but are just as honorable. Trade flourished as new roads as well as goods from across the sea increased oppertunities in China.

While the great leaders of Canton directly confront the issue of development, they cannot help but think in the back of their minds what is Canton's role in the world? The well educated understand that Canton is one nation among many. Many questions remained unanswered about these other nations and most are unsure what course of action to take since communications from most of these nations are rare indeed. Currently the leadership down plays the importance of these other nations however there is increasing pressure from factions of the government to learn more about the world and increase trade and communication with these nations, while some paranoid groups say that communication must be increased in any case, and failure to do so would only be negative for Canton...in the forms of either isolationism or hostile invasions.

Crap

Raz didn't show?

Damn, that sucks. I hope the sub did a good job, somebody send me a save. I even sent Raz all sorts of instructions for the game. Grrrrr.

From spaceflight to learning the A, B, C's? How sad

I sure hope we get someone to play the N Americans on a permanent basis, I don't want my alliance depending on the whims of some sub who wants a fun time screwing with me instead of joining me in conquering the world... (oops, shouldn't have said that). I remember one dip game that fell apart because a sub came in and violated the rules IMO and divided the players as to who was right or wrong and the wronged player quit.

Btw, the Americans and Atlanteans are ahead in technology.

To your ICQ.

And we are still ahead in tech? Good, I know we had a good edge when I left, but I felt it might have been squandered last session. I should be back next week to lead the Metalheads back to glory.
