Sent to Paddy.

Russia announces her war goals.

Russia seeks freedom for the oppressed Balkan nations and free passage for Russian ships through the straits. Russia will not agree to a cease-fire until Belgrade, Athens and other Slavic and Orthodox Christian cities in the Balkans are free from Ottoman occupation.

Sadly since that incident Pirates have sank our Flagship the Man O War Santa Maria, who was out patrolling looking for more Pirates. Strangely as it may seem this happened only after England complained bitterly at the realisation that Spain posessed such a vessel, we were horrified to find that just such a vessel had then disappeared from the face of the Oceans!!

That's a beautiful and mighty ship you had there. We truly envy... err... envied you.

woo hoo

bring on the Cossacks

to LJube

[Ljube-ljcvetko]

Russia is certainly not. We have in fact disbanded some of our ships for shields to speed up the production of Cossacks.

It was with me Sire we were having an extended siesta, we were so tired from hunting all these pirates England speaks of

Prussia we have sent you some proposals we hope you find them to your approval and we wish your people the very best of regards

Marachel Paddy though we too have no proof of whom is fielding fleets of dastardly Pirates off our coasts, we do however have our suspicions.

We would like to formally tell you that one of our Navies frigates spotted an injured French frigate over a year ago now and we also intercepted a privateer who no doubt was responsible for your damages, we imediately sent the salty sea dogs to the bottom to feed the fishes

Our nations brightest thinkers are searching hard to find the answer to the question, just which nation is it that is responsible for these atrocities ???

[Paddy]

ok, so who has the save now

[Modo44]

The game is about diplomacy after all. Nobody said it was supposed to be clean.


The official English claim remains. The pirate ships will be either sunk or driven away. The waters shall be kept safe by the fleet for trade vessels to cross without fear of attack.

That is your claim to proove, Marchel Paddy. Please, I insist.


To the Kings knowledge, England has not attacked any French vessels so far. And we do not plan to.


I could say that any other country with shipyards could send those out into the ocean. But judging from your statement, you would hardly give it a thought.


King Crisius, please, worry not. The English fleet shall keep at a good distance from foreign sea borders. We wouldn't want you to get upset with us.

indeed, and in all good faith bloody hard to prove unless you have played the English in this scenario more than 5 times hey :

have fun

Ahhh Lord Chrisius,

He is afterall a mighty man of peace.

Your Majesty, though we appreciate any assistance in our fight against Piracy in the Atlantic, We will not tolerate any English shipping in our waters!! All transgressors will be sunk on sight!!!
