Demos PBEM Part IV

Why does Roma-Tech, with her technological superiority feel such a lust for Welsh suppression and blood?

That's hardly the type of apology we were looking for…

The Roman fleets are in international waters - on coastguard duty…

Even now Rome is aware of at least one sub in coastal waters - an example has to be made!


Illuminatus Prime

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 151 ==> Mobius

Illuminatus, your words only go to show that you are eager to spill Welsh blood, at any cost. The lengths of the propaganda that you go to in order to 'justify' your imminent attack only serve to prove this.

Two Welsh submarines are in active service, one in Egyptian waters, and one in what you like to call 'international' waters, heading for Welsh port.

Taffs CMC will not instigate any hostile action against Roma-Tech, for we are well aware of your military capability. We therefore wish the international community, that has been so silent on this issue, for so long, to speak out and condemn Roma-Tech should they take measures against Welsh sovereignty.

A solemn note:

After failure to apologise for the accidental destruction of a Roman Paratrooper squadron, a Welsh submarine was sunk as punishment...

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 152 ==> Mobius

Because of Roma-Tech's bullying tactics and their overwhelming invasion force (which is growing every turn), and because the international support requested has not appeared, Taffs CMC has had no choice but to accept the unfair peace offer brokered by Illuminatus Prime.

Turn 153 -->Moral Hazard

A lovely young tourist has disapeared while vacationing in Roman lands. She was descibed by friends as "an inquisitive girl", and it is feared that this tendency might have gotten her into some sort of trouble. Anyone seeing her should please contact us.

The whiff of ominous news reaches our shores, as a picture of some sort of alien being is now being circulated. Could this be the strange project initiated in Rome?

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 154 ==> Mobius

Reports seem to be true that Roma-Tech are close to unveiling their hideous extra-terrestrial monstrousity.

[MOBIUS]

Indeed by Roman calculations we are only three years away from ushering in a new dawn of civilisation...

A certain 'inquisitive girl' that we happened across recently will be the first to meet our new friend!

Illuminatus Prime

[Rick Elkins]

Turn 154 -->Moral Hazard

Oh good. We are told by her friends that she is very social, and enjoys making new acquaintances!

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 155 ==> Mobius

Now over 40 military units are positioned within striking distance of Taffs CMC cities!

Illuminatus, we are not amused!

How can the fellow Director-Generals of the world simply sit there and allow this to happen?!

Turn 155 -->Moral Hazard

With the actualization of a meeting between humankind and another lifeform at hand, all land disputes on Terra suddenly seem so insignificant.

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 156 ==> Mobius

Strange that Assyrico should assert that land disputes "suddenly seem so insignificant", just as a landing party prepare to make permanent settlement on Welsh territory.

Coincidence, I think not.

Turn 156 -->Moral Hazard

We must remind our friends at Taffs that they allowed the patent on their island "product" to expire through lack of use, so we at Assyrico have begun our own marketing effort in what was essentially a vacuum. We have named our island product "Palookaville", in honour of "On The Waterfront".

Back at home, wild-eyed men roam the streets crying "The end is near!". But the Board of Directors continues their long-range goals of increasing value for our shareholders, and dismiss such talk as mere claptrap.

Turn 157 ==> Mobius

My congratulations to Mobius / Caligula upon your victory. The endgame is completed, and your alien life project is finished.

However, Demosthenes the Unready, thats a little cheeky, even if I didn't win.
