The Apolyton Empire: Game

[Sheep]

However little did Easthaven know, that the agent that was sent to him, was infected with the plague. The fact that Easthaven is eating an apple with the juices from an infected corpse, has exposed the illustrious war hero to the desease. A virus where 90% of those infected do not recover.....

[Sheep]

occ: If I have misread you easthaven I apologise.

[Easthaven I]

OOC: LoL, well first of all Easthaven didn't dip the apple in the dude's blood thinkin "ooo candy apple' and then take a bite, he ate it then stuck the man with it. But hey, whatever.

Little does Sheep know, Easthaven isn't just one of the 10% but is also of a family line where invincible immunity system runs rampant. Therefore, the man can not die of disease for the great God in the sky says so.

[Sheep]

occ: That is pretty funny dude, but I reckon it be better for the story if you did go, ohh candy apple, and get a little sick by it.....

[Easthaven I]

OOC: Well first off, I ain't gonna have the Consul drinking blood. But secondly for the sake of keeping the flow, the guy was exposed to the sick man so fair enough he gets sick. But try to stay away from godmodding and infecting my character with fatal diseases.

============

The next day Consul Easthaven woke up, he went to the ditch outside in the purpose of relieving himself but as he walked he felt incredibly weak and he was sweating immensely. By the time he reached the ditched he vomited. He clutched his stomach as convulsions overtook him. Finally, he got all vomited out and regained his composure. He went back inside to change into his battle uniform and went to the palace. He was incredibly pale and his eye sockets were in shadow, and his eyes became even more hollow if that was even possible. But he fought it like he fights everything and refused to succumb to an illness...

If a Republican Government is installed, with your army and the SRA forces at the head of the push, you and your descendants will forever be known as Moderator. Unfortuantely the postion will be very much a figurehead, and will not hold much power, but your family line will live a life of luxury for the millenia to come.

This I feel will please most, as many wish to see a Republic, and many wish to see the Monarchy re-installed. The people that support the Consuls will support you, the Republicans will support this move as a move to democracy, and the monarchists will still have their Moderator to love and adore.

However the first step must be to get the former-Chief of Staff Melian out of jail, so that she can get her movments moving, towards the idea of the new Constitutional Kingdom of Apolyton.

Signed
Your faithful servant in exile
Liam Sheep
President of the Social Republican Movement of Apolyton. (SRA)

To Sheep:
You seem to not understand. I have no desire for power, in fact I was quiet happy being the Millitary Advisor. The reason why we acted was simple, to save Apolyton from the civman line. We could no longer stand by and watch them destroy Apolyton the nation we have devoted our lives to to save. You must stop your rebellous activies and face us, or you will die. What you sugest would mean civil war for Apolyton and would tear the nation apart. This is compleletly against what we the Consuls have been working towards.
End these childish game you play and join us in trying to make Apolyton a better place to live, or die as a traitor to the Apolyton Empire.

OOC: SHEEP! From this point on, you don't have godmodding spies in Apolyton or anywhere else. you know **** what the consuls are talking about or know what anyone else your talking about and you can't afford more then two mercenary units! (2 000 soldiers) your also not in china because no way you will be able to respond to easthaven so quickly. Actually, your dead, because the people i sent before the coup to trace the letters back anf forth from ya as found you. so stop it! Change character, and stop this powergaming, ubring godmodding nonsense! Say anything related to those three words in this story, without a story, I bringing this up to the real Moderators. for crying out loud, smart up! if you want to ruin something, or win something, then make up your own damn multi-author story where you are ruler of the bloody Sheep world! This is suppose to be fun and hate to require to use my storymaster powers to stomp people out of line. I shouldn't need too and i gave you chances before, but you blew it....

******************

April 1402

The Apolyton Intelligence Service spies sent by Mellian before the coup continued their work, ignoring what is going back home, because they know this mission is important. After a few more recent messages back and forth from Easthaven, they finally found the bastard Liam Sheep. With the help of Drako and the Chinese Government, whom the diplomatic team sent by Mellian as well was able to convince them about Sheep.

One night, sheep's hideout, atleast the transfer point for messages, was raided by the AIS spies and Drako's soldiers. Again, they didn't find sheep, but they sure killed everyone there and discovered some people in the process of being brainwashed by some chinese hypnotists. No wonder...his spies aren't loyal to him, they are simply brainwashed. Also, in what seems to the bastard's office, found a map pointing out at other hideouts across the world, about 10 in total. One is located on that island off the Chinese coast, also marked off as the Mercenary encampment.

Over a week later, a few chinese caravel and corvette units, a long with an Apolyton Frigate and Galleon units (used by the diplomatic mission and AIS spies) surrounded the island and started landing soldiers, lead by Drako Chuko. For the next couple of days, they have fought what happens to be sheep's mercenaries until they gradually surrendered a few at a time. They say Liam was hiding in the sole mountain of the island...

The following day, they arrive at the mountain encampment, where as been surrounded. They were harrassed by arrows from a longbow units, and by some evil snipers with crossbows or muskets. Eventually, they got to the encampmeent and finished off the mercenaries there. Drako and along with a few dozen soldiers enter the cave which sheep is hiding in. The defenders inside were massacred, despite their fancy assassin backstab fighting. Finally, they cornered Liam Sheep, whom Drako recognized and Sheep recognizing back, enough proof that it is no impostor. It is unknown what they said, but Drako quickly dispatched Sheep's head in a one-on-one fight, like he did with his cousin's....

OOC: Bing Bang Liam Sheep is dead, how do you like that? post anything as revenge, and your out. Start over with a new character and do it right, by gradually working your to get power...and must be written, cause we won't accept "just like that" godmodding. Also suggest not ignore other writers actions, like mines, because they may just kill you.... and i done it gradually too.

Tell us where the rest of your movement hideouts are. I want to know everything you know about everything. No more secrets, no more holding your cards under the table. If we are to trust you we must know you can be trusted, we must know your motives are for the best interest of Apolyton. If you tell me what I want to know I will let you go, even give you back your job. You can help us, but I want to know for sure you are with us. Therefore, tell me everything, don't try to lie because I will know. And if you do lie I will know your true motives are not in the best interests for Apolyton. Rest assured, we won't go to these hideouts to mass kill everybody. This is for me to know we can trust you. Every secret you have hidden in that head of yours I want to know.

To Easthaven

Blah.... How should i know where they are? I just know some organizers by name, but as to where they were hiding and how big their part of the movement is, i don't know. They probably don't have a single idea how big the movement really is either, but they would have once the revolution starts...

Want to know another not so secret secret? Before you three took power, I sent AIS operatives to trace messages back to sheep and I sent a diplomatic team to china to establish full contact and an embassy there. Drako as been informed of Sheep hiding in China as well. So tell me when they come back and succeeded in their missions...

Early April

This letter, in addition to being sent to each of the members of the triumvirate, is being freely distributed among the nobles and the literate citizens.

TO: The members of the Triumvirate
FROM: Latentus

As long as you hold absolute power, there will be neither peace nor stability nor freedom for Apolyton or its people. You and I both know that this form of government, even if it does survive your rein, won’t last beyond it. If you truly do want what is best for Apolyton and its residents, be responsible and give up this power hungry reign. Renounce your absolute dictatorial powers. If you still wish to rule, earn it by merit rather than bloody force. Allow the people to be informed of what is really going on. Don’t hold them down and prevent the peasant’s education. And no matter who is chosen to lead, be it you or anyone else that the educated peoples deem fit, you cannot hold this kind of insane total control. There must be allotment of powers to the other regional leaders as well as to the educated peoples. If you are unable to be held accountable, if no one can reproach or correct you because you hold absolute power, what will stop you or anyone else from making a decision that is not good for Apolyton and its people? You have made a good first step by inviting this dialogue, now prove that it wasn’t just for show. Put the good of Apolyton first.

[Easthaven I]

TO Mellian:
Then tell me the names of those organizers, tell me everything you know. The trigger that would signal the revolution, where the uprisings would begin, etc. etc. If the people themselves truely do not know how big they are and they don't even have a plan for when the revolution starts, then apparently they would utterly fail because of disorganization. They would already be outnumbered by the military and now your telling me they have no organization? nor an organized plan? I fail to believe that, and it would anger me if it were true, for all this revolution would have done would be to trigger a civil war and at the same time this movement would be beaten to death by more organized societies. Now, are you going to help us or not? We can't trust you if you don't give us some major help here. So Sheep is dead now, does that mean the enemy of my enemy is my friend? or does it simply mean we got an enemy triangle going on here? Give us something to work with here.

[Easthaven I]

April 1402

Consul Easthaven read the letter, he ripped it apart and threw it away. He now knew this advisor was just an attention grabbing, ambitious little man. If this guy was paying attention to what was going on in the country he would realize the good that was occurring. Either way Easthaven had to counter this, he ordered his whole army to take a large piece of paper and copy this down, it would be distributed but mostly posted on buildings throughout Apolyton. Also, speakers will recite the message to the masses for the uneducated people.

To Apolyton
From Consul Easthaven

Fellow Apolytonians, I am sure you have read the pamphlet from the hiding Latentus. And I tell you he is free to write such letters for this is the country where we now allow a peasant to view their opinions. Have I not informed everyone what is going on? Latentus says I haven't but if he would come out of his cave he would realize I have, I took a personal tour to tell everyone what was going on. I established hundreds of offices throughout Apolyton for the sole purpose of hearing the people and their opinions at the same time answering any and all questions they had. We created more equality between men and women, peasant and noble. Latentus says nobody can approach me well again he fails to come out of his cave. The peasants now have equal oppurtunity to view their opinions. We have begun projects to build more schools and universities so that the common man may have an education and here in this pamphlet Latentus says we are holding you down? More evidence to show he is in a cave, isolated from the world. As for putting the good of Apolyton first well what have we been doing since our careers began? We've been serving our country, we gave our lives to our country instead of trying to become some rich merchant we decided to be in service to the people. Where was Latentus when the civil war broke out? The Consuls were out fighting off the rebels and invading English, risking our lives. Where was Latentus when the English war was taking place? The Consuls were overseas again fighting off the English risking our lives for the people. To answer his question on why we took absolute power was because through elections a man can still raise himself to the top 'legally' through corruption. This system is easy to corrupt and manipulate. The way it is now we assure Apolyton on equality and justice. This way, 3 noble soldiers and protectors who have already proven their loyalty and service to the people, lead the country. This way no possible corruption could rise themselves to the top, for the uncorruptable is already at the top.

Apolyton, we swear to you on our own troops' graves, we are here to serve and protect, we have proven ourselves time and time again. Do not let this new fellow who has done nothing but hide and try to ruin Apolyton's stability corrupt your minds. I trust you will make your own decisions about this man. I trust you all as you all trust me. God bless.

In your service,
Consul Easthaven

Organizers still communicate to each other, but avoid stating their strengths. They are organize... so organize that they give the impression that they are not. The movement is a sleeping giant, waiting to be awaken. The trigger, they chosen me to pull it when i declare the republic revolution publicly. As for their names, I can you, but I am not hundred percent sure it is their real ones. If you provide security, stability and liberty, why are you scared of them? I am no ones enemy, just others making me to be as others make me to be their friends.

OOC: okay, she is being vague and weird, but she been in a dark cell, in the same clothes without decent food for a few months now

Good God, you are annoying, I just want to shoot you dead now. But hey, I'm a nice guy always have been always will be. So you shall have decent clothing and decent food. You should have said something sooner. The reason I wanted to know about the republican movement is because if it starts my soldiers will not have mercy, they will do what is necessary to quell the rebellion and regain Apolyton's stability. I was only trying to save lives but have it your way. If you do not wish to help in dismantling the movement you automatically help in trying to destroy Apolyton, so be it. I thought you were smarter then that, or at least truely a servant to Apolyton but it seems you are like most of the other advisors, you just want to insure your place in the history books by being the one who led a revolution, unfortunately your 'revolution' will be the one to harm Apolyton, instead of help.

[mmtt]

April 19th
To Easthaven (secret but known of Jack and approved by him)
As Mellian doesn't seem to want to join us, I propose that we put her in a boat and send her to some far away land. That would settle this problem.


I have to congratulate you about your great sense of duty and protection for Apolyton.
--------------------------
Some generals info

We have know printing press.
A first propaganda newspaper has been created and the Bible (ooc: well the book where the basic of our religion is) is now produced in mass in an edited version. (ooc: including prophecies about Generals forecoming and stories like that (sorry if Christians feel bad about this, this is just a story).

Informations about Lantulus hideout have been revealed and group of fox riders are getting closer (ooc: doing that to give you time to react max a week)

Emissaries are being sent to Iroquois to closer our alliance and trades about Printing Press to renue the alliance.

We trade Printing Press for Wine and 10 gold per turn from America.

(ooc: If other dealings can be done please?)


More and more warships are being completed and a few privateers are also built.

Part of the army is helping to build Universities, new houses and fortifications through Apolyton.

As harvest have been good:
-10% taxes peasants
+3% taxes nobles
But if nobles parents send their sons to do a 8 years service in Wolf units or Fox Rider Regiments, their taxes are decreased by 5%.
(yet they are being "fanatized" to serve the Consuls)

You Easthaven should stop making assumptions, as it may just get yourself killed one day. You didn't answer my question, why are you so scared of the republican movement? If you provide security, stability and liberty, then why are you worried about the republicans? I am not going to support anyone if they are not willing to be honest with me as well.

OOC: If she wanted recognition, she would of called for a revolution a long time ago... and if she was power hungry, she would of cease power in the same manner long time ago as well.... so she doesn't really care to be in the history books that is why she is so mysterious...
