(OOC: just creating the thread, and won't post anything as part of the game just yet. the game starts in on January 1st, 1400CE. also note we have an Alliance with the Americans, Affiliates with the Iroquois and at peace the English, whom we have dislike relations for each other mainly because we help the Americans to declare independence from them a while back, we are also Naval rivals.)

To Civman2000, Moderator of the great Apolyton Empire:
I have been going over the state of our armed forces. Our defenses seem to be in order, but we all know the danger that the English are to us. I propose expanding the navy and train our ground troops so that we will be able to send them into combat in England. I would also like to see our ground armies expanded as well. I would also like to see if the Americans would be open to letting us place troops in their land near the English border. This would allow us to be able to strike at the English when needed.

Mellian enters the Palace's Council room to find it empty, other then the maids cleaning the table up a bit. Again, she is the first to arrive, oh well, more time to prepare her Foreign Affairs report and suggestions.

Memo sent to all: My name is not "Civman". It is "civman". Anyone who gets it wrong again will be beheaded .
Proposal from the Domestic Advisor accepted. May we continue to honor the past Moderators and all worship teh current one as well

[Giovanni Wine]

January 17, 1400

I, Giovanni Wine, as the Domestic Advisor, formally apologize to the great and wise moderator civman I for my mistakes, I will be wiser in the furute on the chioce of my words.

I will punish myself for it

And I will worship your highness every moment of my life

[Mellian]

OOC: I don't get the dating formula, so basing it from Giovanni...2 hours later, so 2 days later....

January 26, 1400

TO: Moderator civman
FROM: Foreign Minister Mellian

The Americans are informing us that the English recently completed their research on Magnetism, 3 years ahead then expected. It is confirmed by the Ottomans and Egyptians who happen to have Embassies at London.

I don't have any information on how the English acquired the technology so quickly. It was suggested by Sheep that we should Infiltrate their empire. I agree, it doesn't help that we don't have much information on what they are doing. Also not to comfortable to always depend on the Americans (who, naturally, have Infiltrated the English) to tell us what the Brits are doing.

In another matter entirally, Easthaven reports that the Gems-Ivory deal with the Ottomans is up and they are not interested in renewing the deal. They didn't explain why they wouldn't. (Domestic Advisor as been informed of this)

[mmtt]

Then I will take the great post of Commander of National defense. I pledge allegiance to the great and illustrous moderator civman2000.

Well I would say i'm posting the 6th of february. But I have doubts on it.
-------------
I'm not sure about joining in this thread but Sheep told me to do so...
I will immediatly proceed to the training of our mighty land forces as the Military advisor stated.

If my rank is too low, may I be some young general?

[civman2000]

OOC: I just realized that the formula should be modified a bit: you should always round up your final result. Also, if you want to be more accurate, you can use however many days there are in the current month, but then it gets a bit morecomplicated.

OOC: I don't get the dating formula, so basing it from Giovanni...2 hours later, so 2 days later....

January 19, 1400

This was the 26th.

Well I would say i'm posting the 6th of february. But I have doubts on it.

Congratualations,you got it right!

February 9th, 1400
To the Foreign Ministry and Ministry of External Finances: WHo else has Ivory or oterh resources to trade? Could we be able to make frinds with Russia or GErmany? Make contact with them, and also Egypt, Babylon, adn that pink country next to them (you never named it in teh Great Library!). See if anyone has physics and would be willing to trade. Also, I want an embassy built in England with whatever funds we have available. After that, find out who is trading with England!

To mmtt: you are welcomed as the new Commander of National Defense.

TO the Commander of the Navy and Overseas Exploration (he seems to have disappeared so the Military advisor can answer as well): England's ports are few. Would a blockade be feasible? Meanwhile, bring most of the ships into port to prepare to upgrade.

TO the DOmestic ADvisor: 60% of the coastal cities should be building Corvettes, and 30% should be making Caravels.

OOC: Who has what wonders? WHich ones have yet to be built?

To civman2000, the Great Moderator:
I want to set up three bases for our forces in America. I want to lave a lave enough force( about 40 to 60 units) there to invade England at any time. I would also like to see our training of our men improve. What I want to do is to have wargames with the troops so they can train wil the real weapons and be in the feild and see how it really is with out getting hurt. Of course it would be hard to keep track of who wins, but the improtant thing is we get to see how our troops preform and were they need to improve.

[civman2000]

Date correction: The above post was on February 11th, not 15th.
February 11th, 1400
TO teh Military ADvisor: Request denied. We need to establish naval supremacy first. Anyways, America might start to not like us if we do that.

To all: I want a naval war with England. What are your opinions on this? Should we build up a privateer force or actually declare war?

Memo to all: If people continue tomess up the date by the time we get to 1401, there may be some consequences .

Once again, the formula: 30*(GMT-6)/24. If the result is negative, add 30 and it's the month before. To be more accurate you can replace 30 by however many days there are in teh current month, but that is not required.
