Demosthenes Semi Acc Part II

[MOBIUS]

Demos,

You have once again violated our territorial waters!

I have been uncharacteristically lenient in letting your SOL survive after previous warnings - this is due to our Eco Alliance...

Which leads me to comment that a Welsh city is now the leading World polluter, we Romans have undertaken to avoid pollution levels >100 - we trust the Welsh will also adhere to this policy. Indeed, we demand it as part of our Eco Alliance...

PAX

Turn 89--> Sophanthro

The Assyrian people celebrate as the troops return to their loved ones...

[Sophanthro]

Turn 90 ==> Demos (last night)

Cairo would like to question Rome as to the position. Of their paratrooper who is resting on a Egyptian tower in construction. We request that the paratrooper return to Roman lands.

In other news the Pharaoh praised Assyria's peacekeeping efforts in the former Incan territories.

[The True Demosthenes]

Shock horror! All five games I'm in arrive at once! Sorry for any delays in getting them back out again.

Turn 90 ==> Mobius

Caligula,

I am shocked at this recent aggressive stance aimed at the peaceful Welsh. Exactly how many times have you warned me of this? I can recall no such events, regardless of this however, no offence was meant by the Welsh fishermen. With the recent dramatic changes in the world, and the shifting of national boundaries for all of my continental friends, my maps are sorely out of date.

As stated, this aggressive stance, seemingly aimed soley at the Welsh, astonished me. At first I could not understand this blatant racism, but then I remebered that you Romans are Fascists afterall, and so it is to be expected and therefore we shall not take offence. However, this can be forgotten, and the issue of straying into your waters resolved, by a simple map exchange.

On the issue of Pollution, the Welsh Comrades of Production have announced that they have not been able to keep up their policy of Environmentally Friendly Production. This has led to an end of the Roma-Cmyru Eco-Alliance.

Whilst it may be true that the city of Pontypridd is the World's most environmentally unfriendly city, it is by no means the only one. Many other Welsh cities are polluting at high levels, as are Roman, Egyptian and Assyrian.

The Welsh citizens ar currently in the throughs of building great Recycling Plants. These are said to not only make our cities a cleaner place, but benefit the whole of mankind aswell. However, they cannot be built overnight, and unfortunately they will take some time before they are finally finished.

The Welsh will still aim for the goal of lowering Global pollution, and we beleive that it should start at home. That is what we are doing.

However, we will not be dictated into lowering our pollution by a nation that is by far the most detrimental to our fragile planet, and one that has over double the amount of polluting cities than the Welsh.

With only 45 turns until the world suffer the consequences of global warming, we shall be doing our part.

Will you?

Great Pharoah,

My Paratrooper shall remain in position for as long as your Marines and Machine Gunner continue on their present course E of Bursiris...

Wise Demos,

My stance is no more aggressive than that required to remind Wales that you have been almost continually violating my coastal waters lately - I seem to remember you describing your Battleship as a 'merchant vessel' not too long ago... These waters have been extensively mapped by you already and you have no excuse! I will not tolerate such an action again!

As for your breaking the eco alliance - it seems clear where your motives lie in that respect... I will not allow your pollution to spiral unchecked!!!

I believe I was the one who gave you Recycling - Gratis!

I suggest you use it!

Turn 90--> Sophanthro

[The True Demosthenes]

Mighty Caligula,

The Welsh fishermen that are in dispute are leaving your waters as we speak. I shall severly reprimand them, and ensure that such actions do not reoccur.

However, as I have made clear, my comrades and I (for even I take part in the communal activity of production) are presently constructing apparatus for the healing of our fragile planet. Whilst we acknowledge the generosity of the Romans, something we did no realise Fascists were capable of, it was for as much your benefit as ours.

We are utilising this technology, but this still does answer the question as to why you happen to be the largest polluter of the world. Perhaps you should follow your own advice and construct some recycling plants of your own, instead of your tanks of darkness that so befall my once-neighbour Sophix of the Egyptians.

[Sophanthro]

Turn to Demosthenes

To Rome:

Caligula we have reversed course on our unit despite the fact that he is still in Egyptian territory and was merely sent out to protect our borders. We hope that you see our peaceable intentions and remove your paratrooper from our land.

Sophix, Pharaoh of Southern Egypt.

Demosthenes...why have thoust forsaken us??

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 91 ==> Mobius

42 turns left.......

[MOBIUS]

Strange - by Roman reckoning it is 70 turns before swamp turns into sea! (some might say a boon rather than a bane...)

A further round of anti-pollution measures are being implemented, but things may get worse before they get better - however Rome pledges to avoid polluting above 100 units as an initial guideline...

The Imperator welcomes The Great Pharoah's decision to remove his troops from harm's way and has acted accordingly...

Turn 91--> Sophanthro

I've checked how many turns to disaster, and get 70 turns.

Meanwhile, my subjects seem restless and out of sorts. Perhaps I'll send out some traveling minstrels to soothe them.

Sophanthro:

Is your email OK? I tried sending the turn 2 times, but it was returned as undeliverable both times.

Should I try another account?

[Rick Elkins]

OK, I just tried again, and this time it seemed to go through. let me know if it didn't.
