World Scenario Turn Post Part II

[Swissy]

The messenger trembled as he entered the room and stood before the spiritual leader of the Assyrian people. Few had ever seen the Ayatollah Swissy, for many years he had been in exile in the mountains north of Assur. An exile decreed by the Shah Creator. But as he had forseen, the Shah Creator had lead his people on a path of ruin. Swissy took the pouch from the messenger and examined its contents. The message was from the Imam of Nenivah, it told of the great folly of the Shah in his war against the Northmen called Germans. And how now the Shah was nowhere to be found. Swissy looked up to the assembled clerics as spoke, " It is time."

With that said, let's get down to bussiness. Since I do not have the time to contact everyone in this game without delaying it, I will do some broadcast diplomacy.

First, the Germans. You have obviously taken advantage of the situation of Creator not playing his turns. Pull your forces back to Dusseldorf, that is only fair considering you have beefited from non-mevement of Assyrian forces.

Next, the Zulu. Yon may HAVE the southern most Nile city. But you will have to take it. I will move my troops out NEXT turn, so you may then walk in. Seeing it is a size two city, it should survive your assault. Please leave a route ou to the north. The northern Nile city is another matter. Considering the size of the city, it must have been there for quite awhile. So I will not give that one up.

Finally the rest of the World, I do not intend to continue the policies of the former ruler.

Turn 53 to the Zulus

[Swissy]

BTW, I have tried to read the thread to get a better understanding of the situation. Will somebody please post who is playing what civ? I think I send this turn to The Bird Man.

[King Thor]

The germans Welcome Swissy to the Game, and wish him luck as the leader of the Assyrians.

Swissy, I'd like you to get an older turn of the game and open my turn to see the positioning of my armies. I had not moved my armies for 2 turns awaiting the return of Creator, and even before that, you would see that my armies were moving into those positions from before.

I have absolutely NOT taken advantage of The Assyrian position. I was infact trying to get a leader for the civilization as soon as possible. My armies were sitting there waiting for someone to quickly take leadership so that I could attack but in the end I just got impatient. Again, please open an older turn and examine the position of my armies (around 2 turns back) .. You will see they were always standing around over there. I understand that if you view my turn you could view my other stuff, but I think I can trust you enough to just verify what I said. This invitation if open to all who doubt that my armies weren't ready to attack 2-3 turns ago.

Also, swissy, my armies wont be retreating, although you have two options.

I will not attack you further until you make your intentions clear.. hopefully those intentions will be peaceful. .. or I can give you time to get your self well positioned before continuing this "war". Creator started to harass me, and that is why we went to war in the first place. I for one would, love to have peace in the region, but the previous leader of the Assyrians only wanted war.

Please Swissy, I dont have anything against you or Creator, so dont get mad at me, because I got impatient. I have NOT taken advantage of Creator's absense, if anything.. I'm suffering because of it.

So what do you say? I'm gonna retreat, and we can all start over.. and you and I can make peace? What say?

[TheBirdMan]

Turn to Aaginor 1½ hour ago.

I Aegnor, dictator of the Zulu people and Chief in command of the united Zulu forces, are ready to negotiate with the new assyrian leader Gen. Swissy.

My point of view is still, that all Africa including the Nile Valley belongs to the Zulus.

We are willing to leave the vicinity of the assyrian cities - if and only if - the assyrian leader accepts those cities to be open. No assyrian military. Furthermore, the assyrian should accept not to make more settlements on african soil.

[TheBirdMan]

Out of turn.

A messenger from the new ruler Gen. Swissy has arrived with the assyrian papers of negotiation.

Though not all our wishes are accepted, the papers are accepted by me, Aegnor.

We shall leave a door open from Africa to Asia - and we shall move our troops to camps, where we will not disturb the assyrians.

The people of one of the assyrian cities in the Nile Valley might make protest to their ruler - that's not my business. As long as they leave in peace, then we will let them go.

Aegnor.

[Stavros]

Turn -> Thor

[Stavros]

Thors Bouncing I'll try again in the morning...

[King Thor]

What? mustansir@telocity.com is bouncing? WTF! Why those bloody #$@#$!! .. Stav. try in the morning and if it doesn't go through next turn me and keep the game moving. But please post here and let me know if it is still not working.

[Stavros]

OK, It seemed to get through this morning...

[King Thor]

Turn is a movin'!!

We regret to inform the world that the German army was forced to take retaliatory action after news spread that the Assyrians had brutally murdered some German Scouts camping outside Nineveh.

We again wish to assert our position. We want NO war. We wish only peace. However, the new Assyrian leader seems inclined in the same way as his predecessor. What is it with the Assyrians? Do they ALL thirst for German blood? Why? What have we done to them?

Leader of the Assyrians. Leave us alone, and we shall not pursue any military action against you. Let us negotiate our positions. You may have read through your ancient scripts and realized just how brutal, the Late King Creator was. We were his victims. Please, I urge you to seek a path of reconciliation, and of diplomacy instead of war and destruction. We understand, however we will take the initiative. We will not besiege your capital although it is within our grasp. Indeed we shall retreat from our current positions and also promise to accept and temporary peace measures you wish to enact. If you do not wish to initiate peaceful negotiations, we will attempt to the next turn, and will hope for a positive response.

So, I have spoken, and so, it shall be done.

[Keygen]

"Greetings noble Swissy! I, High Priest Keygen welcomes you to the throne of Assyria. I hope you rule with wisdom and peace. May your people prosper under your guidance. I expect not to follow your anterior's policy of rawness war! So I will assume that the attack against German soldiers outside Ninevah was a plain defencive movement. I assure you that the German's integrity is unexceptionable and their right for peace is fair! My opinion is that you should sign a Peace Treaty as soon as possible and solve any differences between you via diplomatic ways "

High Priest Keygen.

Turn 54 to Swissy.

[Swissy]

Turn 54 to The Bird Man

King Thor of the Germans has an interesting way to make peace. I will ignore your latest attack. But I expect acceptance of my latest offers.

[TheBirdMan]

Turn to Aaginor 1-2 hours ago.

The southern assyrian city in the Nile Valley has been annected by the Zulus - just as agreed with the new assyrian leader.

The Zulu army - on the other hand - are fullfilling our part of the agreement. Free passage for the assyrian people of the former assyrian city.

Furthermore - this is not a part of the agreement - Aegnor has paid out of own pocket 200 (or was it 300?) gold to cover the expenses, the assyrian might get during the travel.

Peace shall rest over Afrika.
