Imperium Offtopicum V

Excuse me sir. You just attempted to crown yourself Pope. That was a gut reaction before I remembered a Burgundian Bishop had been elected prior to Cull's leaving, and has been edited out for a reason.

England will go to war with Byzantium if it continues to play as Bishop of Rome.

crown myself as pope? are you insane? we offered to host the voting, we did not and will not have any interest in being a pope.
 
OOC: Does anyone else notice that this game seems to be slowly falling apart?

Falling apart?

Cull left because he was getting tired and he wanted to take a break. He said he might come back in the future as a different country.

EDIT: Anyone else besides Math want to take up the position? I'll leave it open until 6:00 tomorrow. If nobody else signs up, the position will go to Math.
 
His Holiness, Pope Leo V of Burgundy & Rome, condemns this despicable attempt by the Orthodox heretics to destabilise the Papacy. If Emperor Matthew wishes to ever regain favour in the eyes of God Almighty, he will establish and maintain his list of reforms and reopen trading and diplomatic relationship with Catholic Europe.

If England may be so bold, it believes that the state of excommunication against Byzantium should be continued until such a time that the current regime is toppled in bloody rebellion, preferably involving the execution of all those Satan-serving heathens which have been attempting to debase Christendom.

or just wait 70 years....? a new generation will be in power...
 
The Pope receives the Emperor's latest letter whilst settling into his new rooms in Dijon and smiles pleasantly. His aides are unsure what this signifies and venture to enquire of God's voice on Earth what should be done.

"Nothing for now," is the Pope's enigmatic response. "The Devil's ministrations are apparent for all to see in Byzantium."
 
my religion is not satanism, it is eastern orthodoxy, do NOT i repeat DO NOT EVER think it is satanism!
 
I thought it was going to Burgundy? :confused:

I propose that we host Papal Elections in the capital of the previous pope that ruled. The new pope will rule in a large city controlled by it´s country of origin.
 
Recently, the Republic of Egypt has been charged by his Islamic allies for becoming too close with the Christian nations. Mainly having our past leader, my father, name me after the late Pope. We the people of Egypt see this only as a way to help close the gap between the Islamic and Christian worlds. But these claims still hold a large amount of truth to them, and we apologize.

Also as of recent, the nation of Persia has demanded to gain control of the Persian Gulf. We, a nation who has put a large amount of cultural importance on the rivers of the Nile, can sympathize with their demands, and we apologize for our occupation. please accept my offer, detailed in the spoiler:

Gray= lands in which you are free to claim
Green= Land that used to belong to me in which I now allow you to claim.
Pink= Land that I now claim as compensation for losing a territory
Yellow= Lands that you may not claim
I want to make clear that just because you can't claim it doesn't mean I will. You made this mistake when I offered a similar deal and you thought I was claiming Mecca. ;)


Now that I no longer occupy the Persian Gulf, you no longer have a Causi Belli against me.
Spoiler :
So no, your little "if your next post isn't apologizing I will declare war" plot that you detailed in the social group won't work. ;)


And now, my claims as part of the update. Pink=new land Black=new lands I gain as part of the deal Persia and I made, assuming he accepts.

EDIT: I put all my money into military tech 1 and ask Persia to sign a DP
 
Who will claim the Holy Land? The main Italy shouldn't be inhabited, but the Holy Land should go to another Catholic in fear of having those heathen Moslims take it.

yeah sure Discount that Byzantium could take it... :mischief:

seriously, Byzantium could maintain these lands very easily. if any of you guys do it, its more like an overseas territory.

however, Byzantium has no interest in Jerusalem. itll make my nation look bad on the map.

and if you have studied the Battle of Yarmouk then it says this on Wikipedia (no i dont care if inaccurate or the work of the devil, they probably will cite the same thing on other websites:

Wikipedia said:
Haraclius abandoned Syria with the holy relic of the True Cross which was, along with other relics held at Jerusalem, secretly boarded on ship by Parthia of Jerusalem,[84] just to protect it from the invading Arabs.

so.. uh... yeah we got what we wanted. its still at Constantinople.

I'll pay GPT to maintain an overseas territory before I let Byzantium control the Holy Land.
 
Oh, like we'll let an Orthodox take it.
And isn't Jerusalem like the "capital" of the Holy Land?

it is. but after centuries of Islamic rule it is mostly either Rome or Constantinople.

and watch your tongue. we controlled the holy land when you lot haven't established a cohorent nation.
