A Simple and Regulated NES

[uknemesis]

Sorry guys, tonight I feel like cr*p, so luckily with no battles to sort out, I can take a night off, and tomorrow night a map will be posted with two days expansion on it, and the exchange of lands in these peace deals.

Das, I can't summarise everything that's happened, cause all it is is a war in Canada and Panama, and expansions that new players can see on the map. If they want an update of wars, then all they have to do is skim through for my combat reports.

To be honest, it's either I spend more time on the reports and the maps, making sure I get everyone's moves sorted out, or I can write the notes up.

I'm sure the players would prefer the first, as I don't have time to do both.

If someone would like to have a summary, then be my guest to write it.

Sorry I'm snappy, but I've got a headache, I'm tired, and I feel like sh*t.

Also tomorrow night, I will have the advantage of a cable connection that's being installed tomorrow, so I can update things quicker.

Re: Land in North America

America is willing to withdraw and relinquish any claims that we preciously made to the land you refer to as Quebec and Ontario. Based on the latest national survey maps, America is willing to pull back and relinquish lands north and east of the lines drawn on the attached map. We hope that this is acceptible to France and England

Yours in Peace
President Gore, America

No offence, Swedish tightpurse, but we saw it first! Anyway, there were Vikings from Norway there already.

Dear Russian brothers
(Historical fact: Novgorod, the birthplace of the Russian princedoms, was a Viking town. Thus, in fact, the Russian kingdoms sprang out of the Vikings on the river Rus. Therefore, brothers)

I hope I have not distressed you by my (to put it mildly) dramatic approach to the throne. I wish nothing but good relations between yourselves and me, and would love to prove that by trading a little. I don't know what you have to spare in that vast empire of yours, but we're interested in a lot of things, particularly eastern luxuries that we can't get here. In exchange, we can offer you excellent bog ore which we have transformed into very durable steel for your words and spears, and plenty of dried cod (a HUGE commodity in those days, fetching insane prices abroad.), in addition to superbly trained falcons and eagles for hunting with.

I welcome diplomatic relations and trade with you, o emperor of the great Romans. While my countries posess some of the strongest cart- and warhorses in the world, I'm very interested in Gems and fine Italian Wine. In exchange, we may offer you some of our excellent Steel, Dried Cod, Timber, or Furs, not to mention excellent hunting birds. Make your pick.

Subj: Peace in North America

Unfortunatly I cannot accept this peace proposal. It is too far North and allows Great Britain no access to the Great Lakes. It also denies France a great deal of the fertile Fleuve de Rue Laurent valley, especially regrettable since it is the warmer part.

I am willing to forego my claims on Nova Scotia, and therefore, we propose this:

I know it might be a bit more to give than you want to, but I want you to bear in mind that this is less land than we originally wanted and the combined forces of France, Spain, and Great Britain can still cause great damage that will hurt you for years to come.

Cordially,
King Monrique de Bourbon IV

To: President Gore of America

We advise you to reconsider Our peace-proposal as Spain will accept peace only under this terms. In Our opinion it is a very fair offer as you would be losing little in comparison to what Our troops could take away from you.
Furthermore We think that it is vital that control of the canal should be shared, for a monopoly on it could be easily abused. But to show that we are still ready to make concessions Spain offers you to bear the entire construction cost.

Regards, Rey Juan Carlos II d'Espana

Can you post a message there saying I won't be on tonight until a problem is sorted? I changed the email address on there and now it won't let me post! I've emailed Thunderfall about it, but might have to wait a while, cause unlike here it hasn't got the send another confirmation email option.

Re: North American Holdings

Sir;

America is will to grant you the land along the Saint Lawrence River that you have depicted in the lastest map proposal.
America is also not willing to recede as far south as the The Great Inland Seas (Great Lakes) and can not see why Great Britain would need access to these waters.

Re: Welcome

Shogun;

It is good to see that the land of the rising sun has a new and charasmatic leader. Welcome. America hopes that a strong friendship can develope between our two nations.

Mikhail sat once again in his study, pouring over the latest reports from the rest of the world. It seemed that the situation in America was finally about to be resolved, and the rise of new kings in Sweden and Germany had done nothing to upset the peace of Europe. All is as it should be mused the tsar. His family continued to thrive and prosper; little Alexei was closer to a man than a boy by now, and his eldest daughters preparing for their arranged marriages to other important Russian noblemen. Mikhail wasn't so young himself now either, as streaks of gray crept through his formerly dark hair.

Sergeyev entered the room unobtrusively, but the tsar noticed him anyway. "What news of our colonists in the east?" asked Mikhail interestedly.

"My lord, we believe that they have made significant gains, but we lack the specific knowledge as the extent of their explorations," repiled his foreign advisor.

"What a shame... if only we had a map detailing their expansions!" mused the tsar. "Such information would help us out greatly in determining where our settlers should head next. Send out our best cartographers on the double."

With a quick "It shall be as you say, my lord Tsar" Sergeyev ducked out to see to it. Mikhail returned to the letters cluttered on his desk, hoping that the results would come back soon.

OOC: uknemesis, can we get another map today? It's been over two days now, and I'm sure we're all curious how far our explorers have gotten.

Sweden is continuing to colonize S. America and what's left for it of Iceland

MAP OF THE WORLD IN 1505

Sorry guys, this is rushed as I have to get going, and I fell asleep before I could do anything last night.

If there's anything seriously wrong, please tell me!

Oh, and Alaska went to Rome in a PM.

NOW UPDATED AGAIN!

Nemesis

 

[uknemesis]

Right, new rule which I hope most will abide by to make my life easier.

Have a wordpad or word doc on your pc with your troop and ship deployments on. When you move troops, update it on this document, and copy and paste it at the bottom of the post where you move the troops, or if some are secret moves, in a pm to me.

Also please include at the bottom a quick summary of your actions - ie; "attack Ireland".

If you want to write where your troops are on the main thread but not where a few are, then put those as in an undisclosed location, but leave them in where they should be in a pm to me.

I will have documents for each country on my PC which I can update from your updates, and this allows me to portray surprise attacks easily, give out information easily(with risks attached of course!) and have some clue what people are doing.

Basically, this will make life much easier for me, so please do it! I know some already do, but if all do it then it is much easier.

If you are attacked by surprise and I don't have updated troop info for you, then I will try to estimate what I can. If that means that you end up losing the area because I have less of your troops in the battle than you think should be there, then so be it.

Sorry to have to make such an annoying rule, but it's hard keeping up with it all!

If everyone just has a file where their armed forces deployments are then it is easy to update and copy and paste into a thread or pm, and then I also have a quick reference to it.

Thanks!

[sealman]

I'll get right to it. I am a bit weak so it should not take too long

 

[uknemesis]

MAP HAS BEEN UPDATED DUE TO SOME ORDERS BY PM THAT I MISSED. IF ANYONE STILL HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAP, PM ME.

I have also added rings around the groups of islands to show who owns them, thanks to a suggestion by sealman.

[uknemesis]

Map updated once more after I realised Rome colonised Alaska, not Spain!

Hopefully won't need to be updated again!

[The Troquelet]

Sorry to bother you, but I colonized the Phillipines, not France. Shouldn't there at least be a split? Or did France get there faster? No problem if he did, just wondering if it's a mistake...

 

[uknemesis]

Oh crap, I was in such a rush when I made that map.

Anyway, disregard the pink, it should be turquoise, as the Persians colonised the Phillipines, not the French.

I'll update it in the next map, but until then, THE PHILLIPINES BELONG TO PERSIA.
