Sounds like a good idea. Now that Egypt is gone, only Arabia is close to Africa. I'll update tomorrow. Thanks to all who have read/posted on the story.

Time for an Update 
Mansa: I'm bored!
Kris: Why are you bored?
Mansa: I haven't been able to do anything fun. Basil said I shouldn't kidnap Caesar, or I'd provoke an 'unnecessary break in international relations' or something like that
Kris: And since when do you listen to others?
Mansa: True... Alright gang, were going to Rome!
Basil: Why Kris? I just got him to not go! Mansa, um... Don't you think it's more important to do other things...
Mansa: Like...
Basil: Founding new cities and improving the quality of life in the empire
Mansa: Quality of life?
What does that even mean? Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like it would be more important than kidnapping world leaders
Basil: Forget it! But we do need to found new cities, or other people will steal our spots
Mansa: True, fine, I'll only kidnap him if he comes here
Basil: Ok then. Where do you think we should found the new city?
Mansa: Carthage! Duh! Jeez your starting to remind me of Joe...
Basil: Where is he?
Mansa: Don't know, don't care
*Man walks in*
Mansa: Who are you?
Alexander: I am Alexander, leader of the Greeks.
Mansa: The Geeks? Great, more of Joe's relatives
Alexander: Pardon me, but it is the Greeks not the Geeks
Mansa: Gleeks?
Alexander: NO! It's the G-R-E-E-K-S
Mansa: That's what I said
Alexander: You said Gleeks!
Mansa: Yeah, isn't that your country?
Alexander: Ugh! Forget it, I'm leaving!
*Alexander Leaves*
Mansa: Haha!
Kris: You didn't even threaten to kidnap him. Something must be wrong.
Mansa: Nah. I needed a break from kidnapping plots. Pissing off world leaders is almost as entertaining for me.
Basil: Just great for our diplomacy efforts...
*Isabella enters*
Isabella: Greetings, leader of the Malinese Nation. I am Isabella, divine ruler of the righteous kingdom of Spain. Tell me, do you follow the Buddhist gods?
Mansa: No, we aren't religous people. We prefer to get money and land rather than temples and monasteries.
Isabella: Such barbaric practices
Mansa: Ok, your remind me of Hatshepsut. How many leaders will I have to explain to that Mali is the best?
Isabella: Mali? The best nation of the known world? Preposterous, Spain is the master of the religion that rules the universe.
Mansa: Interestingly, it say's on the map, that you only have one city...
Isabella:
Yes, I didn't move my settler one stinking plot to the right, and know I'm stuck with a single city
Mansa: And you said we were barbaric...
Isabella:![[pissed]](/images/smilies/pissed.gif "Pissed [pissed]")
STUPID MALINESE! Just you wait, soon enough, your land will be ours.
Mansa: The stat here says that our army is 2 times bigger than yours...
Isabella: I'm leaving! Soon enough, the Spanish Flag will rule over Malinese lands!
Mansa: ...If you ever find out how to build a settler...
*Isabella storms off*
Kris: Nice Boss
Mansa: Well, I have to say, this is the best part of the job
Basil: Sir, the first settler has founded a city one plot south of Carthage.
Mansa: Ok, what did you name it?
Basil: Well I assumed, based on it's close proximity, that we should name it Carthage...
Mansa: Well, rename it to Mansaville
Basil: Ok?
Mansa: Finally, I've always wanted a city named after me! Build a Skirmisher Unit there.
Basil: Ok. Also, we have some weird news. There is a empty pasture in the middle of the desert next to Thebes.
Mansa: Seriously, those Egyptians aren't the brightest of people. But I suppose with Hatshepsut leading them...
Basil: We started researching some tech called Animal Husbandry
Mansa: Ok then, for now, go oversee our new city.
*Joe returns*
Joe: Hi!
Mansa: What the heck! I thought I got rid of you!
Joe: I wandered over to Thebes, where everyone practically worships me. There building a Oracle for me right now!
Mansa: What! What kind of people would worship you!
Mansa: Ridiculous subjects I have! Without me, I'm not sure they would even survive!
Kris: Wait sir! This could actually be a good thing!
Mansa: How could Oracles of Joe in any world be a good thing!
Kris: The Oracle is rumored to be able to grant one free technological discovery!
Mansa: Fine, I'll accept it, if they make the temple for me instead
Joe: What? They wouldn't listen to you!
Mansa: If they listen to you, they'll listen to anyone. As for you...
Joe: I'm starting to wonder why I even came back
Kris: I wondered that too
Mansa: Well, I suppose it's understandable. After all, who could live without me in there presence
*Saladin enters with a few guards*
Saladin: Hello, I have come to offer open borders
Mansa: How come everyone who has already met me, comes with guards the second time?
Saladin: No reason...
Mansa: Ok then, I accept
Saladin: Great, see you soon
*Saladin leaves*
Mansa: Seriously though, how come they always bring guards with them!
Kris: Well...
*Basil walks in*
Basil: Sir, we have a stunning development, as soon as we discovered Animal Husbandry, strange animals appeared in that pasture in the desert out of no where!
Mansa: Magical Pastures...?
Mansa: I'm bored!
Kris: Why are you bored?
Mansa: I haven't been able to do anything fun. Basil said I shouldn't kidnap Caesar, or I'd provoke an 'unnecessary break in international relations' or something like that

Time for the update! I'm about 75 turns ahead, so I might actually do a second one today.
Mansa: Yes! What tech did the Oracle of Mansa give us?
Basil: Um... Joe wants to say it!
Joe: What???
Basil: Well, he is the one who told the people to build it, so he should say it
Mansa: Sounds reasonable
Joe: Well... Code of Weaponry!
Basil: Code of Weaponry? I'm pretty sure that wasn't one of the options to research...
Joe: Shut up! Code of Weaponry lets you build magnificent firing mechanism that does... Oh forget it, we got Code of Laws
Mansa: Code of Laws? Sounds like a pointless tech. The only laws we have here are I'm the boss and well... actually that's the only one.
Joe: Um... I'll be leaving now... *slips out of room*
Mansa: Yes! He's gone again! So is there anything else that this Code of Laws does?
Basil: It founded a religion
Mansa: A religion? What religion?
Basil: Confucianism. They advocate respect of all people, loyalty, etiquette, and humaneness.
Mansa: Well that could work, just let me rephrase it. Repect me, be loyal to me, use proper etiquette by always serving me. And humaneness? Never heard of such a word, so we should probably take that part out.
Basil: Um... Ok. Do you wish to convert to this religion?
Mansa: Nah. A waste of time.
*Asoka walks in*
Asoka: Greetings, powerful ruler of Mali. My name is Asoka, leader of the Indian Empire
Mansa: Well, you certainly are more humble than those other leaders... Perhaps we can be friends.
Asoka: Excellent! What Saladin told me was a lie!
Mansa: What did he say?
Asoka: He said you were a psychopathic kidnapper
Mansa: Is that who people think I am?
Asoka: Apparently so. Anyways, I shall be leaving. See you soon.
*Asoka Leaves*
Mansa: Man is that Saladin going to get it! The next time he comes, I'm gonna...
Kris: I've never seen him this mad
Basil: I know, Saladin's doomed if he comes!
*Saladin enters without guards*
Saladin: Hi, Mansa, I have come to offer a trade...
Mansa: Seize him! *Guards grab Saladin*
Saladin: What the heck! What are you doing!
Mansa: Your going up for ransom! Hahahahah!
And I'm taking your hat!
*grabs Saladin's golden hat*
Basil: Wait sir! You have to let him go, or the Arabians will declare war
Mansa: And why would I care about that!
Basil: There allies with 3 other civs that would probably declare war too!
Mansa: Ugh... Fine! But I'm keeping the hat! *wears hat*
Mansa: Release him
*guards let Saladin go, who scurries out of the room*
Basil: That was a close call!
Mansa: I was so close! Now all I got from that was his hat! I'm angry!!!!
Kris: Um... that was quick, another leader arrived.
*Cyrus enters*
Cyrus: Hello, I am Cyrus leader of the Persian Empire. Bow before our might!
Mansa: I doubt I will
Cyrus: No one ever does, but my advisers make me say it
Mansa: You let your advisers tell you what to do!
Cyrus: Hey! They are smart people
Mansa: Sure...
Cyrus: Well, I bet they are better than yours!
Mansa: That may be true, but my leadership skills more than make up for that
Cyrus: Ha! My leadership skills more than quadruple yours!
Mansa: Sure... Says the guy in the blue dress!
Cyrus: What? THAT'S NO DRESS!
Mansa: Really, had me fooled
Cyrus: GRRRR!!!! How come everyone thinks that!
*Cyrus leaves*
Mansa: Ahh... Just what I needed to relax
Basil: Um... ok...
Mansa: Yes! What tech did the Oracle of Mansa give us?
Basil: Um... Joe wants to say it!
Joe: What???
Basil: Well, he is the one who told the people to build it, so he should say it

Thank you. I haven't heard of him, but I read a few Earth 18 Civs Stories recently and I've noticed a common obvious theme for most: Egotistic Warlike Leaders and smart, yet under appreciated and ridiculed advisers...

I thought it was weird too. Both India and Persia became confucian, and Arabia was completely skipped.

Update time! More leaders are met
*knock at door*
Mansa: Who's that?
*Man walks in*
Stanger: Hello, I am a representative of the Arabian Empire, we have come to negotiate the return of Saladin't hat
Mansa: What? No way are you getting this hat!
Representative: Come on please! If I don't get this hat back to him, he'll probably execute me
Mansa: Too bad!
Representative: I'm begging you!!! He'll probably give you a free tech in exchange!
Mansa: He'll give me a tech for a hat????
Representative: Yes
Mansa: Too bad, I'm not giving up this hat!
Representative: Dang!
*leaves room*
Kris: Did you really just pass up a deal to get a free tech for a hat!!!!!
Mansa: Pretty much, yeah
Kris: Why must you be so prideful...
Mansa: What? Seemed like a logical, smart decision on my part
Basil: Another leader has arrived
Mansa: Great
*Frederick enters*
Frederick: Hello, Leader of the Malinese Tribe, I am Frederick, Ruler of Germany
Mansa: So you guys aren't very hygienic, I'm assuming
Frederick: What are you talking about?
Mansa: You said you were Fred, ruler of Germs!
Frederick: What??? I'm not the ruler of germs!
Mansa: So you aren't even a ruler...
Frederick: Yes I am!!!!
Mansa: Cool! So you can measure things!
Frederick: NO!!! I rule, as in ruling over a...
Mansa: ...Imaginary Kingdom!
Frederick: My kingdom isn't imaginary!
Mansa: Pardon, I meant tiny kingdom
Frederick: Tiny?
Mansa: Well, germs are tiny...
Frederick: Forget it! Your impossible!
*Frederick leaves*
Mansa: I have to say, there names make them real easy to tease
Basil: I'll agree on that
Kris: Looks like you get to have more fun
*Catherine enters*
Catherine: I am Catherine of the Great Russian Empire. Don't worry though, us Russians never
...
Mansa: Right...
Catherine: Would you like to agree to open borders?
Mansa: I'll say yes, because I know your sending spies either way...
Catherine: Hehe...
Don't worry
*Catherine leaves*
Mansa: Keep an eye out for people at the border...
Basil: Ok...
Mansa: They could have already infiltrated our nation... Let's see who do I think is a spy...
Mansa: Joe!!!! Obviously! He's a Russian spy!
Joe: Um... I'm not intelligent enough to be a spy
Mansa: That's true... But Catherine isn't that smart either...
Joe: Uh... Let's change the subject
Basil: Caesar is back... with guards
Mansa: Dang it!
Joe: Phew!
*Caesar and Guards enter*
Mansa: Hi Caesar, have any salad for me?
Caesar: What? No insult? And you didn't make a reference to kidnapping? Is something worng?
Mansa: Jeez, maybe I'm just in a good mood...
Caesar: Well, I sent over some salad, that will be here soon
Mansa: Excellent!
Caesar: Ok this is weird. Still no insults??? Fine, if you won't I will. The Roman Empire demands the Tech of Meditation!
Mansa: Ha! You wish! Our tech awesomeness surpasses all!
Caesar: So you refuse?
Mansa: Yep!
Caesar: I should have known. Oh well, you'll be destroyed soon enough anyway.
Mansa: Ha! I doubt you'll have any time to attack, while your researching Meditation for 20 turns
Caesar: What? It will not take 20 turns!
Mansa: Oops, I meant 200 turns
Caesar: Ugh... Forget it, I'm leaving
*Caesar leaves*
Mansa: Who does he think he is? I was even being nice, and he tried to threaten me
Basil: We founded two new cities: Djenne and Gao
Mansa: Ok then, how are we going on the tech side?
Kris: Creamage, at the moment, we are the only civ with Civil Service, Paper, and the only other person who has Code of Laws is Isabella
Mansa: Excellent! Next time a leader comes, I'll have to brag about our advancedness
Basil: Your in luck, another leader just arrived from Mongolia
*Genghis Khan enters*
Genghis: Hi, I'm from Mongolia. Our horde creams everyone else!
Mansa: Horde?
Genghis: Yeah! Keshiks FTW!
Mansa: So, your one of those warmongering dudes
Genghis: Yep!
Mansa: Awesome, those guys are actually good in my book. Way better than Caesar
Genghis: I hate that guy, he called me Mr. Hairy Barbarian when he met me
Mansa: Well, maybe you'd like to help me kidnap him...
Genghis: I've tried before...
Mansa: See, there are other good, sane leaders out there! Would you like open borders?
Genghis: Sure, see you later!
*Genghis leaves*
Mansa: That guy knows the true diplomatic protocol
Basil: And what is that?
Mansa: 2 main rules: Kidnapping is legal and insulting is encouraged
Basil: You seem to follow that pretty well
Mansa: It's a natural talent of mine
Joe: Maybe the only talent...
*knock at door*
Mansa: Who's that?
*Man walks in*
Stanger: Hello, I am a representative of the Arabian Empire, we have come to negotiate the return of Saladin't hat

I was playing this scenario with my brothers. Me as Rome, one as Germany, one as Greece. My brother playing as Germany grabbed 5 of the 7 religions, 3 in one city, and I got Christianity. I decided to spread it to that one city. The game is still going, and he has 5 of the 7 religions in one city.

When my brother and I play this, I'm Rome and he's Egypt. I always go for spain and france right away, they're always pathetic anyways. My brother just wonder-spams.

He disappeared after that... Flouzemaker's stories sort of kick-started the Comedic genre of Civ4 story, which is what you're doing very, very well, what I'm trying to do, and what NinjaCow did with his Comedic Tales.

Ninjacow's Comedic Tales are my favorite stories in the whole forum!
