Diplomacy in another age

[Beta]

It is indeed a good thing that we Prussians do not understand English.

Save to Ljube.

[Paddy]

Wow this is a heated old discussion when all three of us are against a common foe - Russia Ottomen

[Modo44]

I see the Spanish leader has a big mouth. All that screaming makes my diplomats deaf by the dozens.

King Chrisius! Since this has been paid for, I expect your ships to move out of the way, and let my fleet pass between Murcia, and Salamanca.

Our deal was to open the Gibraltar straits which we have complied with !!!

Expect what you like but you will be waiting a very long time!

I see the French have decided to allow you passage, well that is for their leaders to decide I for one say you can take your feeble demands and stick em in yer pipe

In future you would do well to approach the Spanish court with more reverence when you wish to make a request!!

[Paddy]

wow, you are a tad tight waddish

ok 2 gold then

Two bags then.

so what is your mission down this way?

To oversee the developments in the Ottoman empire. Their reported troop movements are suspicious. You know of the pirates - they will be dealt with as well.

The commander of the fleet has it. If a bag of gold is your price, he can, and will pay you.

[Paddy]

1 gold in your treasury is the equivilant to a standard bag of gold

do you have a few bags with the commodore of your squadron?

I would have thought so

If not dispatch a messenger from your Treasury in London to the French Embassy in the same City

[Modo44]

Oh, a bag of gold is it? How many galleons would be needed to carry it?

[Paddy]

temper temper temper

I offered you a valid solution to your demands

I also asked a resonable question of you for doing as you wanted

ahh then so be it

a shame indeed

a bag of gold or two would have surficed

ahh ya that stuke for gold

really what is 2 or 3 gold to the mighty english?

Good for you. I do not recall anyone asking this of you, but well done, here have some apple wine

So what payment do you offer for passage then?

So, taking care of the pirates is not enough? Forget it, then.

No nation is in a state of war, right? So what is your point about insisting on a war going on?

so here is a map of the passage, which you talk about but do not provide yet again.Ok here goes my idea to keep the passage blocked and to allow you on with whatever your mission really is:

- so my ships will pull back to the yellow circle
- I expect your ships to pull into this red circle next turn,
- my ships will slip then into the green circle,
- yours off into the distnce,
- then the following turn mine will again take up their position in the red circle.

I do not require that you stay to guard my waters

I have updated the pic up in the thread in this post. Just refresh the page, and you will see it. I proposes the same solution you describe here.

I am curious what payment you are will to offer for all of this

You will not have to worry about Ottoman pirates ever again. We managed the ones in the Atlantic, we will surely manage the ones in "your" lake.

[Paddy]

Interesting that you so well quote the diplomatic screen in this post, yet just before you were on about privateers... you do like to have it both ways. adding to this if you had seen the damage that the ottomen fleets caused, then you would understabd why we stand guard, and have bloickaded our inner coasts for protection. I would have thought that you of all the naval nations could have so easily understood these actions


I hear you talk of the spanish while talking to me, you should be aware that I am not responsible for any deals you have with them. I actaully remember not being overly entusiastic of you coming south, especiall now that you have proven that this is not even a full fleet, just a small squadron of your so called mighty flotilla
