The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

To the Jamaican leader: By the end of 1350 A.D. (i.e. turn 161), I will withdraw all of my troops west of a line three hundred kilometers (i.e. 3 tiles) west of historical Moneague. I will leave Moneague undefended. I will not sell any buildings in the city before leaving. In return, I ask that you do not send any troops or stealth units west of that same line.

To the American leader: By the end of 1350 A.D (i.e. turn 161), I will withdraw all of my troops south of a line three hundred kilometers (i.e. 3 tiles) south of the beautiful city of Encinitas. I will leave Encinitas undefended. I will not sell any buildings in the city before leaving. In return I ask that you do not send any troops or stealth units south of that same line.

Is it agreed?

[TheBirdMan]

Need to consult my medicinman - maybe he can tell me what to do when he have tossed the white feathers from a pigeon 'rund a box of pure Jamaican Rum.

[quinns]

So what did the medicine man say, Che?


And Mr. President? What say you??

[checkMate]

A unilateral withdrawal from Encinitas would be taken as a positive sign

And Mr Gorbachev, "Tear down this wall"

We will accept a ceasefire under following conditions:

1. The Americans accept a ceasefire with you too.
2. You will as proposed give back the historical Jamaican city of Moneague to the Jamaicans.
3. You will withdraw not only 3 hundred kilometers from any Jamaican city but 9 hundred (back to your city Akademgorodok in south and to the bend of your road between the 2 beavercolonies).
4. One Jamaican pikeman and one phalanx will follow your troops and break up any and all roads/installations found up to 6 tiles west from any Jamaican city. Then they will return.
5. No new Russian or Jamaican cities/forts/installations must be placed in the area between our cities.
6. Jamaican/russian fighters will be allowed to patrol that area to ensure, that the other is not violating the ceasefire.

Chairman Che Birdy of the PDRJ.

All walls that divide people and all roads that unite them must be torn down, betwen encinitas and your cities to the south.

This area should be a fly only zone. Not a no fly zone.
Flying in the fly-only-zone will be only single fighters of either russian or american build. No Jamaican fighters allowed.

No new cities, either russian or american may be built in the fly only zone. The fly only zone includes the entire width of the pennisula between encinitas and your nearest russian built city. Your troup pull back should be to within 1 square of that nearest city.

Encinitas will be returned to the Americans.

In addition, sea travel beyond the channels east and west of the big island between our lands is forbidden. Likewise the Americans promise not to venture north of those channels. This will be similar to the pre-war stance of our many fishing boats, and your single fishing boat which was inadvertently sunk by drunken fishermen. The sea embargo goes for submarines as well as boats.

We invite russian settlements on the island to begin an experiment of peaceful coexist with American settlements. And we hope to forget the many past differences as we face the new tommorrow with hope and determination.

I agree with these conditions without exception. My troops will be in full compliance by the end of 1400 A.D.

You may have missed my proposal above, because you post was posted while I was composing my diplomatic post.

Agreed without exception. As you can see I have begun withdrawing my troops (and there is a great traffic jam southwest of Encinitas!!). I will pillage all fortifications and roads in the area of Encinitas and south to the Tblisi River.

This is a great day for the whole world!

Because justice is the one thing you must always find.
You got to saddle up your horses, gotta draw a hard line.
When the gun-smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune,
and we'll all meet back at the local saloon.

We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singing
whiskey for my men and beer for my horses.

Beer for my horses

My horses drink the same stuff as my men - Rum!

[TheBirdMan]

And "peace" with the Russians. For the time being that is.

Why, thank you! And peace (and Rum) be with the Jamaicans!! And Whiskey to the Americans!!! (And Beer to their horses!!!!)

Regarding the "time being" part --- No. I have learned my lesson. Unless the Russians are attacked or spied upon, I will not attack. You have my word.

Although it appears that I attacked the Bad last time, this was only the peaceful occupation of Encinitas that was graciously handed over by the departing Russian Army. Certain local country folk of Encinitas sounded an alarm, not being aware of the 2nd Encinitas Accord.

[TheBirdMan]

It seems like breaking up roads behind the russians is considered as an act of war too.

So either the russians have to clean the nature themself or we have a "cold war" for 4-5-6 turns more while we are doing the job.
