Team Spirit 3 - Turn List

[Franses]

Out of turn post

The Inca's have sent gifts to the wife of the Mayan horsemen who was, so it seems, brutally murdered by the Greek.

The Greek armies are flooding over Inca country. The Inca's were supposed to believe by the Greek king that they were just in search for Inca/Greek boundaries. The latest actions of the agressive Greek king make clear what Franses believed from the beginning... he is out there for war.

Inca country is well protected and we have no fear for Greek armies at all. Yet we call upon the world to start a police action consisting of armies from all countries over the world to stop this madman before he sets fire to the whole world. A world that appeared to be so peacefull untill now.
If possible this police action should result in the capture of the Greek king to enable him to be judged by an international court. This way we may save the world from any new tirans that take over peacefull nations like what happened with the Greek civilization.

“What propaganda is this!?!?
Has anyone seen any message that the Greeks have gone to war with the Mayans?

Let me inform all of you what really happened and stop jumping into rush and ridiculous conclusions. A Greek legion entered the ruins next to the Mayan unit's location. From the ruins jumped out two barbarian hordes. The one probably attacked and killed the Mayan unit and the other might have attacked my unit. I haven't attacked anyone so far and all these accusations are a huge lie. I wish Keleborn's announcement were a misunderstanding and not a move to create impressions to the rest nations. I will ask king Keleborn to take back his word and publicly apologize for this unfair accusation of the Greek nation.

As for the movement of Greek military units within Incan lands only one unit, a warrior, the weakest Greek military unit in the area has entered the claimed as Incan lands with only purpose to locate an Incan city to aid us to estimate and suggest our borders with the Incans. This unit cannot be considered as a threat as its attack strength is very poor. As soon as it locates the first Incan city it will return to Greece if in the meanwhile won’t get attacked by the Incans. The rest Greek military units have camped on the current borderline and they won’t enter the Incan lands until formal borders are established.

As for the Indians, they are persistently wandering within my lands trying to discover each Greek city location. They have already spotted two of our cities, they do have a general idea on where our nation resides but they keep searching for the rest of our cities. They probably want to use this information to serve their purposes. They are not trusty, as they had declined my map exchange request in the past and they haven’t take notice none of our warnings. I am sure that the Russians had a fair reason to declare war to them.”

Out of turn.

The message from greek leader might be true in his own eyes. I did not recieve an official note of war.

Newer the less in my dream I saw 3 greek militarymen, among them phalanx and legion attack my horseman and kill him. And when have any one heard, that the poorly armed babarians should be able to attack and kill a full-armed and well sheltered horseman?

I will not apologize, cause my accusation is fair. Either did the greeks attack directly or they released these babarians and let them do the dirty job. So in one or the other way, they are responsible for the kill.

And why this later in the message from the greek leader:

"The rest Greek military units have camped on the current borderline and they won’t enter the Incan lands until formal borders are established."

Does that mean, that even when a formal border is established, the greeks will not respect this?

[Keygen]

"King Keleborn, you are trying to blind the rest nations with your pathetic lies!

Let me tell you why you might have seen tree military units because there are three military units there. A warrior, and two legions. No phalanx. How did this happen? I sent one legion to the ruins and when the barbarians showed up I moved the other legion and the nearby warrior on the same tile to protect them.
And what do you mean a barbarian can't kill your unit? You had an mountained archer, which has very poor defence strength, not fortified and in alert status if I judge from the yellow bar of your unit. I had lost a fortified warrior in forest, which has exactly the same defence strength with your military unit many turns ago, so don't tell me it is not possible. And are you telling me that I am responsible for that? Do you mean that I knew what the ruins had? Or should I replay the turn and not enter the ruins. That would be a cheat! Unfortunately my people don't have prophetic abilities. After that I can say that I am not sorry at all for the loss of your unit and stop trying to get your warrior pass through the mountains and trespass Greek lands!

As for your allusion that I won’t respect my future agreement with the Incans I should inform you that you are wrong for one more time. I don’t have formal borders with the Incans yet which means that when we will have then the current location of my units might be within Incan lands or his units might be within Greek lands so our units might have to move forward or backward.

Don’t test my patience here Keleborn as I won’t tolerate for long your irrational accusations or any attempt to trespass Greek lands.”

Well, I suppose it is clear for all of you now. Even though the Incan's retreated from Greek land, the Greek king keeps invading Incan territory while he himself writes "the other armies are camping at the border". So, what else is there to say? He apparently knows perfectly well what the border is.

Be warned, thy peacefull nations of the world. The Greek king just twists his words as he seems fit but the only thing he wants is war and war only. The first victim he chooses are the Indians. Probably this is based on the current ranking. In the mean time he weakens our brothers the Mayans by killing lonely horsemen. How brave.

[Keygen]

“What is this? An organized attempt to present me like a slaughterer?

What are you talking about that I perfectly know where our borders are? Didn’t you say a couple of turns ago that my warrior entered your lands? YOU told me where our borders are! I just have to find myself if you have told me the truth. My warrior will keep moving until he finds a city of your or die! He hasn’t found anything yet. Maybe you just lied to me to keep lands you don’t own for yourself.

I told you that I didn’t kill the Mayan horseman and I don’t care if you believe me or not. And how come you call the Indians victim while you are almost to attack me because I have sent a warrior in your supposed lands and he has sent a horseman, have spotted two of my cities and keep moving? What? I don’t have the right and he has? How just is the mighty King Franses. Pathetic.

Let me inform you leader of the Incans that I am not along in this world. By declaring war to me you declare war to my brother, King Swissy the Great. If you think that you and your brother can afford a war with both the Greeks and the Persians then its fine by me, declare war. I am not willing to go in war with you King Franses but if you provoke me be warned that I won’t stop until I get destroyed or see your capital in dust!”

King of Greece Constantine.

[Franses]

I rest my case. To me and to all other nations it is clear now what your intentions are. I just hope that our call for international intervention will be honoured by all peacefull nations and that you will brougth to an international court that will judge and condemn your actions.

I understand that you are afraid of such international intervention and the consequences it will have for you personally. Yet we are still willing to forget all about your agressive policy and actions but only if you leave our territory like we left yours.

[Swissy]

Perhaps you should get a better map. The closest world power to the disputed area happens to be the mighty Persian Empire. I am sure my knights and samurai will be able enough to enforce the Greek claims on the disputed lands.

Turn 36 to King Thor/Arthur

[Keygen]

"Unbelievable!!!
I just got a message that a Mayan mounted archer attacked my legions! What kind of trick is that Keleborn? You attack me and then you claim that I attacked you? You are an amazing liar!
To all leaders of the world, observe the message you have or will receive that says that the Mayans has gone to war with the Greeks. Notice that the first name mentioned on the message is always the attacker. This proves that the Mayans actually attacked the Greeks and not the vice versa. I demand justice and only a respected sum of gold shall reduce my wrath!

The Greek warrior just spotted the Incan city of Paramonga nearby. This is evidence that the Incan leader was speaking truly, therefore I will keep my promise and withdraw my unit back to Greek lands. Official borders will be established.

The Indian mounted archer keeps trespassing the Greek lands and playing the game of the mouse and the cat. I officially declare war to the Indians and as for an answer to their continuing arrogance my knights have annihilated the Indian city of Srinagar. More cities will follow if the Indian leader continues his "travel" in Greece.”

Turn 37 to Arthur & King Thor.

Out of turn.

If my intentions was to attack the greek, I would certainly have done this long time before when we were one-to-one and not when odds was three to one i greek favour.

I can't tell what's really have passed those days as messages from the battlefield are too different.

I still have the greeks as responsible for the death of my horseman. With purpose or without, with help from the babarians or without.

If we are at war now - then we are at war!

[Franses]

Passed my turn some time ago.

Egyptian newsflash:
Greek armies continue their journey into Inca land. Franses's call for help to other nations was not answered by anyone else but the Mayans. Even the Indian king, who did get his share of accusations, does not seem to care about the agressive deeds of the Greeks. What kind of world is this?

To make things worse the persian leader appears to be as agressive as his ally. No matter what, the Inca's will stand for their belief in peace and will assist the Indian kingdom if attacked by the Greek and if requested for.

If it comes to a fight the Inca's are ready for it. For days now the uproar of soldiers is heard throughout the country. Franses decided to fortify all of the Inca borders. Not only the one the Greeks violated so bluntly. Thousands of soldiers are migrating from their places of birth to the border cities. New technology is used to build weapons unheard of in this world. The new weapons proved to work unbelievably effective. A barbarian army was wiped out by them without any loss on Inca side. Franses immediately sent the skulls to Keleborn as promised earlier. As things stand now Greek skulls will be added to that soon.

Yet Franses still holds off his armies. Being a peacefull man he still hopes the Greek king will come to his senses. He knows taking part in a war will not benefit either party. The general opinion of the Inca population is that Franses is to soft and that he should have wiped out these intruders long ago. Time will tell who was right but one thing is sure, Franses will not be able to hold off his generals for much longer.

There is something wrong with this thread. Not only did we lose posts earlier on like Keygen concluded, the thread also had a third page for a time without anything on it. Further more, I get strange effects when I post to the thread. It looks like the thread is not updated and I have to refresh to be sure that the post really succeeded.

I therefore suggest to abandon this thread and start a new one. I would not want to miss any of Keygen's kind messages.

[Keygen]

“Keleborn, maybe your soldiers got confused with all these barbarians around and though my units were barbarians too and attacked them. Maybe you should train your military better in the future. I will tell this once again. I did not attack you! You did! And as you started this war you will be the one to stop it. Otherwise any attempt to invade in my lands and attack any of my people will end up to the massacre of your invasion army. I demand to give me gold for the unprovoked attack against my men.

As for king Franses it seems he is so obsessed with his propaganda that he fails to read properly the previous statements. Let me repeat it once more. I have spotted “Paramonga” and my warrior will return in Greek lands. The Greeks have already declared war to the Indians and the Greek army has annihilated an Indian city, the first Greek victory against the Indians. So you are completely out of date here, as these statements have been said in a previous announcement. As for your try to impress all of us with your hypothetical huge and technologically advanced army and make me personally fear let me inform you that the Greek army is strong and ready and I won’t fear your empty threats. As I said before, I don’t want to go in war with you but I won’t hesitate to destroy you if I get attacked by you. So I will keep my promise I had given to you that as soon as I see your first city I will return back and I will order the Greek warrior to return to Greece. From your words I distinguish that you are aware of the dangers of a war between us, so stop harassing me and stop sticking your nose to other nations’ affairs. What I do with the Indians is not your business!”

King of Greece Constantine


-------------------------
I have to refresh the page to see my post too. And indeed there was a third page for some time where there were no posts in there. This had happened in the past, in another topic too. Yes, these “dialogs” are the most interesting part of a PBEM game .

LOL

You are right, Keygen. I did miss that message .

[TheBirdMan]

Turn to Swissy/Keygen.

I king Keleborn consider my nation in at state of war with the greeks. My soldiers have been ordered to attack all greeks when they feel save to do this.

Soldiers from other parts of our nation are now heading for the wilderness between the greek and mayan nations.

If I spot any indian troops, I will certainly give them all possible aid in their fight against the greek aggressors.
