"The Silence of the Dog - Scot - Gunner"

[Shogun Gunner]

Work is to be blamed now.

Plus I'm getting my CV together and getting organized for the job search... and don't you know that Christmas follows right on the heels of Thanksgiving. In fact, many people go get their Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. We are going this Saturday.

Bottom line, I've been putting in long, long hours at work - which gives me a few moments to post on Apolyton, but not play saves. Sorry. I'll try tonight -- hopefully it will go better than last night.

[Shogun Gunner]

BTW, did you accept my peace offer? It is a compromise - as the money is not up front and spread over 20 turns.

[Andydog]

yes, I accepted peace. I understood you intended to spread the money over 20 turns.

Cheers, that money will contribute to all the universities i'm building.

No worries on the turn rate. Tis the silly season afterall.

Peace returns to our lands. Oh, but you are still at war with all the other nations of the world. Poor guy

4/20 turns expensed.

[Shogun Gunner]

350 BC to you.

Your galley is unwanted in my territory. Considering our recent conflicts, its bold to send a boat potentially full of troops near my shores. At a minimum its a spy.

5/20 turns "loan" repaid

[Andydog]

--> you

With all due respect, that galley has been sailing east along your northern coast for many turns now. This galley will land no troops and requires only 2 turns to leave your shores. It would be a shame to scrap this peace treaty over a lonely boat trying to get home as quickly as she can?

[Shogun Gunner]

My military advisor is embarassed that he's just reporting it now. It's just posturing to assure the Shogun that he's got everything under control. Please ignore the rhetoric and we will allow safe passage this time.

If there is a new Military advisor you will know that I lost my head to the Shogun's blade over this incident.

6/20 payments made angering the Japanese population.

330 BC to you

[Andydog]

they really don't like us do they, that pop of yours.

[Shogun Gunner]

Actually, I would say the japanese samuari the Celtic women

7/20 bills paid, with secret plans ongoing on how to recollect those funds
