Turn 32--> Mobius

To His Eminence Creator, Leader and Prophet of Assyria:

Glorious is the day that has dawned today. For today, a Roman Diplomat has made the happy discovery of the great city of Shibaniba!

We would now ask your permission to set up an Embassy there, for the enrichment of both our nations.

Righteous Creator, shall we both lead the world into the art of Diplomacy?

Rick
Emperor of Rome

[MOBIUS]

Friend Creator,

An awe inspiring achievement! Athens, is truly astounded by the resourcefulness of the Assyrians...

That their one civilisation is home to 3 out of 4 Wonders proves that the name 'Creator' is indeed an apt one!!!

To Rick: All diplomats always very welcome in Assyrian civilized empire [of course if they not spy]. Especially Romans diplomat , because I hear about great wisdom of learned Roman empire.

Turn 33--> Mobius

Creator:

Thank you for the hospitality the Assyrian people showed our Diplomat during his visit to your fair city. He enjoyed his stay, and is now departing on a journey of peace and exploration. You need not worry about him spying on your cities...he shall not. In addition, he will be on his best behavior whilst on your lands, avoiding your farms and mines, so as to not be a nuisance.

Also, please be at ease concerning the Roman Horseman who is now next to your Phalanx in the coastal desert. He came upon your unit quite by accident while exploring, and will leave peacefully on the next "turn", providing you are kind enough to allow him a non-mountain route around your unit!

And let it be known that Rome is pleased that peace has once again returned to our World.

Rick
Emperor of Rome

Turn not received!!!

I sent it when I last posted, but I guess something odd must have happened en route. Anyway, I just sent it again (I was wondering why you hadn't played it!).

[MOBIUS]

Turn 33 --> to our new friend, Creator

[Krzysztof]

[MOBIUS]

Resent again!

Turn 33 to New Jon

[Rick Elkins]

Five days since my last turn?

[Rick Elkins]

Who has the turn???

Rome demands action!!

[burchill]

turn 34 --> rick

sorry about the delay everyone

[Rick Elkins]

Turn 34--> MOBIUS

To the Prophet Creator:

We're puzzled by your "No Trespassing" demand. We have only an innocent Diplomat on your land, who is already leaving to explore our world. Rome has given you her word that he will not spy against you.

Meanwhile, you have,with our permission, a military unit on a Roman road next to a Roman city.

We're assuming this "No Trespasssing" demand must have been the work of some confused underling in your government, for surely our neighbor, the mighty Creator would not treat his friends so shabbily.

As we believe this demand to have been an accident, we are ignoring it.

PAX

Ambasssador to Assyria
