BirdNES 3: When Worlds Collide

[Birdjaguar]

Wait, I don't have orders on record?

You do, I have them. i was referring to the ottomans as being already claimed.

 

[Karalysia]

I had not actually planned on returning but you had to go ruin that by restarting your NES. Alas.

Expressing interest in Moscow and the Delhi Sultanate.

 

[spryllino]

Yui, Diamondeye, Soldierchild and Arian are all still around, I believe, even if the latter two are not particularly active. Fantasmo, on the other hand, has largely disappeared as far as I can see.

I couldn't send orders for Update 3 for Venice, could I?

 

[Oruc]

It is "just not on the list". It is on the maps and has stats. I have emu playing it.

Well I'll take it back then.

 

[das]

So, we pick up where we left off?

I'm game for it as Moscow.

Deli is yours. glad to have you playing.
EDIT: Is Carmen still around? He was playing Delhi.

Thanks, you may send orders for Venice.

Well I'll take it back then.

Name change!!!

So, we pick up where we left off?

I'm game for it as Moscow.

I've colored in Red some of the nation positions s that will be important to be played by people that are unconfirmed as yet..

 

[Diamondeye]

Without reading the first two updates, my countries of choice in order of preference, depending heavily on who returns and who doesn't:

England
Kalmar Union
Scotland
Portugal

I am not going to continue playing this NES, so the Kalmar Union should be free, unless Lord Joakim wants it, I seem to recall him having said something to that effect.

 

[spryllino]

Orders sent, and I believe that Carmen is inactive.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Got them, thanks.

 

[The Strategos]

The people who were wanting France are destined for disappointment.

On a similar note, any new player in Europe should probably PM me, looking at my old order sets, it looked like I had secret and non-secret agreements with about half of Europe.



To: Sophia, Grand Duchess of Moscow
From: Charles, Emperor of France

Most Excellent Lady, Greetings! You know how we consider you even as a sister. For your brother, Andreas Palaiologos dwelt by our side until we secured his rights as Despot of Morea. Even now he sends us each Christmastide a precious treasure, a manuscript of Aristotle or Plato or one of the poets. And after he lawfully bestowed upon us his titles, we have considered ourselves your protectors. For truly a wise ruler must look after the noblewomen of his realm and ensure that they are living chastely and in good health. For just as a father guards his virgin daughter, so we must guard the nobles in our realm, and truly all our subjects, for each one are as our beloved children.

Therefore when news came to us of your humiliation you suffered at the hands of your enemies, we rent our clothes in sorrow. For an insult done to our sister is an insult done to us. Surely we know if our brother, the Grand Prince were Ioann were still alive, he would not allow such an insult to be tolerated. Therefore if you have need of anything, whether great or small, make it known to us. Behold, here is our own seal, show it to any of our merchants who trade in your lands, and they will obey you even as they obey our own august personage.

Now if there has been any delay in sending this letter, know that it stems from the distance between us and not from any neglect. For we love you even as we love our own soul. Therefore if you would send us a note, no matter how short, we would rejoice more than if we were given all the kingdoms of the world to rule. We send you greetings along with all our subjects. We will pray that you will be restored to your rightful station quickly. Pray also for us, that we will be found worthy to enter into God’s Kingdom. Farewell.

 

[Cull]

I'll take Savoy now if its alright.

 

[Kraznaya]

You do, I have them. i was referring to the ottomans as being already claimed.

Oh, I didn't mean claimed for now, I mean when Azale inevitably fails to send orders per usual.

 

[Birdjaguar]

I'll take Savoy now if its alright.

OK, but I suggest you chat with France....

Oh, I didn't mean claimed for now, I mean when Azale inevitably fails to send orders per usual.

So noted.


In post 11, I've added some trade info.

The people who were wanting France are destined for disappointment.

On a similar note, any new player in Europe should probably PM me, looking at my old order sets, it looked like I had secret and non-secret agreements with about half of Europe.

Yes, Once you get it all figured out, please send me an update.

 

[Angst]

I am not going to continue playing this NES, so the Kalmar Union should be free, unless Lord Joakim wants it, I seem to recall him having said something to that effect.

I'm not exactly sure whether to accept this offer or not.

@Birdjaguar, can I think about it until the update has been posted? Of course, if anyone claims either, I will step aside.

 

[qoou]

Correct. But if a player does not return and they had orders that to fit a particular grand plan, I might temper them so a new player doesn't get stuck with a wild scheme they had not anticipated.

Europe (including Muscovy) and the new world are the areas I have to write. The rest are done.

Hm. Ok. I am then Hungary. Please don't kill me.

Edit:
@BirdJaguar: if you happen to have my old orders, could you please forward them to me?

 

[Birdjaguar]

I'm not exactly sure whether to accept this offer or not.

@Birdjaguar, can I think about it until the update has been posted? Of course, if anyone claims either, I will step aside.

yes you may. As Kalmar your have a Swedish rebellion and Muscovy to contend with. As Florence, less potential and less risk. Talk to France.

Hm. Ok. I am then Hungary. Please don't kill me.

It would seem pointless to have you join as a nation I was killing off.

 

[Stuck in Pi]

Rejoining as Poland. If I had any agreements with players, I would highly appreciate it if they contacted me, as it appears I had deleted my orders for this game.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Rejoining as Poland. If I had any agreements with players, I would highly appreciate it if they contacted me, as it appears I had deleted my orders for this game.

You did not send orders for turn 3.

I just sent you your turn 2 orders.

Hm. Ok. I am then Hungary. Please don't kill me.

Edit:
@BirdJaguar: if you happen to have my old orders, could you please forward them to me?

Do you mean Espoir's turn 3 Hungry orders?

 

[Luckymoose]

C'mon Bird don't spam your own thread. You are a mod!

 

[alex994]

You're only saying that because you keep expecting an update
