These troops were stationed here when I took office as the new Grand Pooba of my people. I figured there must have been a good reason for them to be there, so I decided to leave them.

Of course now they are there for our mutual protection. You never know when a threat my arise. Think of them as "soliders of peace". We are not "occupying", we are "Nation-Building".

Since you clearly have ignored my polite diplomacy. I can only put my point a little more forcefully. Get your men off my mountains and get your guns away from my city for their own protection.

Turn 197 Sent.

We must support Incas point here. Any military unit directly near foreign city is threat and not welcomed in world of peace.
Incas have changed policy toward Spaniards and lined themselves between civilized nations, so there is no reason to bully them.

Thank you to our German friends.
I was not sure of why troops were positioned as such. Now I take it it was in response to the Incans actions against Spain. As that is no longer an issue I will recall our troops.
The Native Americans would be willing to sign a no-tresspassing agreement with the Incans if sent one.

[Kralj Matjaz]

Greetings to Native American nation!
We formed UN troops once when needed to convince Incas the way of war is not right way.
We strongly believe further pressure on Incas is unnecessary now. Just stay alert till final confirmation from Spaniards, that all agreed cities have been returned.
Peace!

turn 198-> ricketyclick

[ricketyclik]

Please resend the turn, it appears I may have deleted it

[gumpold]

No it bounced back to me. Do I have the new address right?
ricketyclick@webone.com.au

[ricketyclik]

Nope, ricketyclik@webone.com.au

[gumpold]

Sorry for the delay everyone. I entered Ricketyclik's address wrong, then I had computer problems and couldn't fix the mistake!

Confidence is high that Ricketyclik now has the current turn

[ricketyclik]

Yep, thanks Gumpold. 198 to Fraze.

Incans, the ledger is now square in our series of exchanges. I will accept either of the following 2 options for the exchange of the next cities:

You hand over 1 city, I hand over the remaining advance, then you hand over the next city, then I pay half of the 500G, last city, final 250G; or

I hand over 250G, you hand over a city, I hand over 250G, you hand over a city, I hand over the advance, you hand over the final city.

Let me know your thoughts, and which city is next.

Respectfully,
Comrade Rickety of the Spaniards.

Fellow R2 players, I am suddenly going to be away for 2 weeks. I am happy for Maestro to play my turns for the duration, if he is happy to play them.

[Flandrien]

Last turn is still with Frazer.

Should I next him ?

[Kralj Matjaz]

It's about time.
