IOT Enlightenment 2: Philosophers and Kings

[bugwar]

Once again, I got tired of being reduced to writing “That wet place just off the coast of Alaska”.
So I named the seas.
They are eight point type names, so you may want to download and view at a higher resolution.

If I missed a spot, or it is on the map but not on the list, please let me know.

If you would rather another name for a particular area, get the GM to agree and I will update the map.

Note that the Kauai and Berin extend over the map edges.

May I ask why so many names are abbreviated?

 

[bugwar]

May I ask why so many names are abbreviated?

The short answer is 'cuz.

The long answer is that if I am moving a fleet (say with troops aboard) along a particular route to minimize exposure to shall we say 'Imperial entanglements', I do not want to have to spell out a long area name for each stop.

So I kept the names short for that reason.
If the GM decrees otherwise, I will be happy to follow his recommendations.

We are, quite frankly, getting a tad tired of Dene telling us what to do in our backyard. Every year, Dene looks for a reason to instigate a boycott. Last year it was Australia, this year China. What's next? Because workers aren't paid enough?

The territories will restored as a protectorate NPC. The Chinese Empire will not get the territories back. If Dene wishes to cease trade because of that, then that is their prerogative.

Do you boycott Iberian goods? Why not? Because they use spies and not military power? What is the difference?

Again, Dene is just searching for excuse after excuse to get people riled up against the Iron Islands despite us not being a threat to anyone outside the region, which include Dene, who is indeed not a Pacificaner nation.

5/14 orders in. Going to bed now.

Also, might be getting sick after my black belt testing on Friday, which sucks since this is my beach vacation week. If so, I'm gonna be less active here. Sorry.

To: The Phillipines

We accept your offer.

To: The Iron Island

Withdraw your ships from the Phillipines immediately, they are considered part of the Empire now. If you do not then we will consider it an act of war, showing that you are the filthly liars that you are by breaking yet another diplomatic agreement.

From China
To Australia:

Can you aid us?

Depends if we are allowed to, you being landlocked and all.

 

[bugwar]

I have heard from a 'reliable source' that you can help. You might want to send a PM to him for confirmation, if he is not too ill.

Really? I think that you do not know the might of the Chinese Army or the tactical genious of Emperor Qianlong.

 

[Lighthearter]

8/14 orders in. 24 Hour Countdown initiated!

And for the record, I'm apparently not "really" sick, just mildly . . . out of it. Nothing serious.

Actually, no. They are rebels in our sovereign territory and any entrance into Iron Island waters will be considered a violation of the Non-Aggression Pact Australia agreed to. How would you like it if someone spanwned a pro-Iron revolt in New Zealand and I immediate claimed it as mine, as opposed to calling it a rebellion against Australian authorities?

Really? I think that you do not know the might of the Chinese Army or the tactical genious of Emperor Qianlong.

Look to your left. I stopped fearing China the second we took 60% of your empire, destroyed your trade, and left you with only 2 IP to spend.

 

[christos200]

Very well. We have nothing more to say. we shall meet in the battlefield.

 

[Lighthearter]

9/14 orders in. Gotten some really good ones so far - this turn is going to ROCK.

Orders: Expand to any adjacent empty tile.
Spend all income on spies.

Use half the spies to coup the NPC south west of me, use the other half to start a revolution/unrest in the turkey area.

 

[bugwar]

While I admire their aggressive spirit, I think N. Spain should be restricted to starting with three provinces, not four.

 

[Lighthearter]

I gave him four provinces due to the fact he joined a bit late. It's cool.

He's still smaller than everyone else.

[bugwar]

When doing research, rather than scroll the posts looking for each turn update, I would really like it if the first page map had the update links there.

Thanks.
