The e-mail gods were not being kind to me. A server somewhere must have been sitting on them. I sent two test mails from two different accounts and one went through and the other was held for 12 or more hours. Maybe some tech geeks can explain it to me but I do not really understand where electrons go to hang out.

 

[semental]

Are we held up somewhere or is my e-mail still gummed up? We were making good progress until I had problems.

 

[Hawklord]

I am in diplomatic discussions about a peace deal with Daufoi.
I have a berserker outside one of his cities and am waiting to see if he offers enough for peace before I take my turn. I'll send another e-mail to see if we get a response, I don't know how long I can hold off those berserkers they can be a bit unruly at times especially when they are sitting around drinking outside a city full of booty.

 

[daufoi]

Sorry, didn't know you were waiting for a response. I emailed it to you.

 

[Hawklord]

We have come to an amicable agreement where we will protect the English for those sea pirates for a suitable payment of gold.

It has come to my attention that the franks have recently been having trouble with these same pirates would you like us to extend our protection to your cities too?

Wrong war, wrong country but right continent - I believe the response is "Nuts" but we suspect that was the edited version.

Here it is I find that France is at war with the Danes. No declaration, or statement/record of attack - what will these criminals stoop to? As a famous pseudo-Frenchmen said:

"Ah fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"

 

[Hawklord]

It's those beserker sea pirates. If you pay us danegeld we will keep them off your coastline. The English are no longer bothered by them. We would control them as a friendly neighbourly action but the men must be paid you know.
Fancy calling a raid by sea pirates an act of war by us peace loving Danes

 

[semental]

Then explain why we are at war if your troops have not attack the French people. Do not hide behind the skirts of your mercenaries!

uh oh, is this like space odyssey? is CivIII's AI that good?

Where's is the game?????

 

[Hawklord]

I can control them when I have enough to pay them off. They are very independant

 

[semental]

I have re-sent 864 to Dafoi.

I was under the impression that we posted battle records around here.

 

[Hawklord]

Yes sorry, thought I had. 1 berserker lost, 1 sword killed. Not that this was planned by the king of course. We are not running a protection racket cos it was just routine business in these times not a crime.
OK, pay up or we will destroy some of your coastal towns, my men need booty and will have it one way or another.

Please refer to earlier posts.

If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck....

 

[Hawklord]

Rheims was burned to the ground.
We will live in peace if you pay the Danegeld and will keep off the sea pirates.
Your troops may destroy the small village next to your lands but your development will be greatly slowed down as the ones by the sea are destroyed, or take up so many troops that yopu cannot develop.
It is your choice.

 

[semental]

Your choice to make the French people your blood enemy. The Danes will not be top dog long. We do not get mad, we get even. Please excuse the literary license:

"You don't frighten us, Danish pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person! Ah blow my nose at you, so-called "Hawklord Keeeng"! You and all your silly Danish Beeeee-serks!!!"

Quoted from people who have the proper respect for the English language - none.

GPS - Captured Nantes - killed Bezerk and Warrior, lost warrior.

The peaceful French people have accepted the Danish peace offer and have given in return exactly what it is worth. How many Bezerks are left in those longships?
