New PBEM: Midway

[Franses]

Egyptian newsflash:
Pharao announced this day that contact has been made with another civilization. They call themselves the Indians. Pharao has had direct contact with their leader which appeared to be a (lovely) lady, named Wiagra. Long discussions have taken place during which Pharao and Wiagra exchanged their knowledge of this barren world. In a joint effort maps were drawn up that contain all places known to them.

PS: This world does not appear to be as barren as the part the Egyptians live in. Pharao of course did not mention that. But soon all Egyptians will know that a better place for settlement could have been chosen by Franses.

No words from the russians reached us yet. It looks like we are not worthy enough to them. Instead of leaving the place, where they have settled, they mass troops. It looks like the peaceful times are over. We will never accept this city at our territory!

Napoleon, a young general was given command to the troops, that now heading to smolensk. We will force them to retreat. We tried it in the peaceful way, but they didn't even answered us. We tried it again, explaining the situation again, and they didn't even react again.
So where is the solution? We do not want to spill blood, but more less we won't to give away the territory, that is rightfull ours.

Turn 20 to Franses!

It seems that the Vikings may be the only civilisation left who has not made contact with anyone else on this world yet.

It still seems to us like a very barren and lonely place! We hope that we may meet other friendly tribes in the not to distant future as the talents of our highly trained diplomats seem to be going to waste at present!

[Franses]

Egyptian newsflash:
Rumors have it that Pharao will request the Indians to tighten their relation. The rumor also sais that he will ask Wiagra to marry him. Others say that this is not possible since Wiagra is occupied with "other women". This seems to have shocked the Pharao but in the interessant of his people he plans to ask her anyway. His motto in this case seems to be:
It is better to have one woman that loves other women than no harem at all. He also seems to have said and we quote "What the hack. If I have to have sex in the interest of my country, I will gladly do it.

SNAILMAIL to the great Pharao.

I'm sorry my messenger wasn't faster.

I'm very - very pleased you like Wiagra - in fact, she's not Wiagra. She is my sister and the only I really trust (keep it in the familily). Her name real are Lovebird.

I'm am "THE WIAGRA" - THE STRONGEST SYMBOL OF THE RISING INDIAN PEOPLE (let's stand what cannot fall as I say).

I would accept a proposal of such an alliance. As you might know, great Pharao, women are expensive to hold. Therefore, your only contribute in exchange of an alliance shoud by lowest possible - 100 Gold.

By the way - she also knows how to get a kitchen to work.

Good luck.

Ohhhh..... another thing - do you play those new fancy games with horses. You know - slaves ride big horses and we bet on who's comming first?

Now we got words from the Russians! But all they said is, that they insist on staying at our territory, with the reason, that they have no good land themselfs. We cannot accept this, for our land isn't the best itself, so we can't give away the few good places ...
With hope in a peacefull solution, we send a letter to the russians ...

Hail thee, leader of the russians!

We are glad, that we get some words from you, even we are very unhappy with the words within. So you claim that you want to stay at our territory. How do you know, how good the land of the french is? Did you ever seen our cities? And the swamps and mountains around? There are only a few good places to settle, and now you have taken one of the good places. But did we come and take the few good land of the russians as ours? No! We stay in our territory, trying to make the best out of it.
I am sure, that you can find a good place for your city somewhere nearby. Again, I cannot accept your city at our territory. It is not my fault, when you haven't enough good places to settle, so you got no right to steal it from me.

Turn 21 to Ian.

Not much to report this time.

[Krash]

Turn 21 to Franses.

Very little to report from the Vikings. We do however have great plans and aspirations for the future. I'm sure there will be news in the not too distant future!

[Franses]

Great and wise Indian Wiagra,

I am very sorry that we have mistaken you for your sister Lovebird. I do like her name though. 100 gold is just nothing for such a beautifull woman. We take it you ask this little price out of political reasons. I appreciate that and will be pleased to sent you 200 gold if she is as good as you tell me. Please sent her over as soon as possible (I am getting board with all these egyptian harem girls. They have all learned the same tricks and they are fighting all the time, you know).

Horses .... what are that, some kind of slaves? Your story sounds like something some of my servants do with camels but I am not sure that it is what you mean.

Last words, we get from Tyr is, that he want to make us an offer for the land, he took from us. We ask him to give us a detailed one, so we can discuss about it and dicide, how to act in the future. We hope for peace, but we wont give away our land for nothing.

Turn to Krash.

Wiagra has decided, all troops in the south, the southeast and the northeast to withdraw close to Indian cities as we have no advantage in blocking for other countries settlements in these areas.

I have offered myself to carry maps between the Egyptians and the Chineese, so they will be able to decide, where their border some time in the future should be placed.

All (I think) is still waiting for the first decent diplomatic academy - allowing us to educate professional diplomats. Teachers from other nations are welcome to teach our young men and women.

A warship has again been spotted in Delhi Bay - it might be the same, that came close long time ago, returning from a voyage in the dark. I have been told, that their flag was - well not blue, but in that direction. Wonder who that is?!

[Franses]

Egyptian Newsflash:
Pharao Franses is amazed about the wisdom of Wiagra,leader of the Indians. His act of retreat provides hope for Egypt that was desperately searching for furtile ground.
In return, Franses decided to forbid any slave hunting in Indian territory.
