Multipolarity III - Game Thread

[Mathalamus]

hmm. i'm so out of touch.

um... i have 317 gold...

the Emperor, being a Military man, will muster 17 more divisions for combat, and 10 more Navies.

i hope i did it right.

His Imperial Majesty, Magnus Flanagon of Man, the Fourth Rome, looks forward to do dealings with Emperor Andreas Komnenos of the Byzantium Empire, the Second Rome. Let it be known that we have interests to set a trade pact between our great empires, especilly to allow us to export our steel, oil, uranium, chemicals and weopons. We will love to do trading with the Byzantium Empire.

Anyrate we wonder if you are intrested in taking the hand of one of the Emperor's sisters in marriage. Tosha Flanagon is a imperial princess that will help forge a allaince between the 2nd and 4th Romes. Does the Emperor of the 2nd Rome accept the offer to marry a princess of the 4th Rome?

...shoot...there be mad men with WMDs...

Fixed for you.

Kenji Bovine is opposed to all forms of WMDs and is sad to see so many nations developing them. As the Bovine family has been displaced from Japan after the tragedy of Hiroshima, we are not going to develop WMDs unless doing so is strictly necessary for the continued survival of the Spammers' Crusade. The Spammers' Crusade also doubts that this WMD is actually a "Divine Implement" and their science department suspects that it is simply a nuke.

Pope Noidus I has a different issue. He has declared that this Weaponised Manifestation Device is obviously the Lizard Mind Lazer Bomb dressed up as an implement of the faithful. Jesus told him in another dream. The LLMB is a horrible weapon that causes people's brains to melt out of their eyes. Smaller versions of these weapons have apparently been used to destroy the Pope and the College of Cardinals. Pope Noidus I advises all the faithful to protect their brains from the LLMBs by wearing hats made of Aluminium Foil. Needless to say, Aluminium sales have skyrocketed throughout the nation.

the Byzantine Empire, the Senior Most Rome, decided that it would be acceptable for us to have a Trading pact.

But, the Emperor is not interested in a Royal marriage. his love is his sword. not literally, but he is devoted to the Military, and has no time for a wife or family.

(OOC: the greatest Byzantine leaders are often those with little or no family worth mentioning)

Also, Byzantium is nominally opposed to WMDs, but we cannot really do anything about it.

I think it's safe to say that Darkfeather's MIA, but just in case he isn't I shall tread carefully...

Russia, largest raw materials exporter in entire world, would love to shift Spammers' supply curve to the right, but you are embargoing us!

End the occupation of Poland and we can talk.

You do require a heir yes? The imperial marraige would aid in that. Plus a imperial marraige would open to a ecomonic and military allaince. Consider this well.

And it would also destroy your relation with the Spammers' Crusade. Consider this well.

hmm... Very Well. it would be senseless to die without an heir five seconds into a future war. We accept the Royal Marriage.

EDIT: huh... oh well, we made our first enemy. who borders us. on Anatolia. that's convenient.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Costa Rica, as a state run by the best and bravest, feels it can chime in on the Manx-Byzantine proposals.

The Byzantines could always appoint an heir who would best continue the current system. It worked for the Roaming Empire of old, according to this history textbook.

It also honors meritocracy over hereditary privilege, something the Generalissimo is naturally big on. His children were all failures and all have died accordingly.

Tani, can you forward me my secret stats plz .

Yeah, but it was simpler to have a legal Heir rather than Elect everyone in the Senate willing to be Emperor or Empress. ever run 20 a sided election? not fun.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Flanagon Dynasty is pleased to bond with the Komnenos Dynasty! Let the marriage symbolise a new age of imperialism!

...and fear not the Spammers: they are all talk agents of chaos that wish to limit the rights of nations.

Anyrate: glory to the successors to the Roman Empire!

You could always cancel the marriage. It doesn't matter you'd pissing off the Imperium, they're about as important as Sealand. But you don't have to cancel the marriage, if you just promise that relations between you and the Spammer's Crusade are more important that Manx-Byzantine relations then we'd be happy.

 

[Jehoshua]

Byzantium need not worry about the Spammers being their enemy, afterall isn't liberty from Spammer domination the name of the byzantine game at the moment? At any rate the Holy See in the event of Spammer aggression would clearly intervene in favour of Byzantium.

The Spammers are violating the will of diplomacy. The marriage is set. Empires ally with empires. The Spammers need keep their little selfs out of the matters of important powers.

Need we warn the Byzantines that the Spammers have been trying to violate the rights of nations? Ask His Holiness on the issue. The Pope is a known critic of the Spammers.

Anyrate: if the Spammers have a problem with the Emperor of Byzantine looking for generating a heir then they must not be fans of Byzantine...

Manx controls what looks to be most of the British islands, a large part of central Europe, some of Norway and half of Australia. i assume the countryn is mostly based on the UK.

you control the Levant, some of Anatolia, and parts of Saudi arabia. probably Bahrain as well. your countries doesn't even seem to represent any known ethnic group, or organization, or anything

i think we made the right choice, favoring the 4th Rome.

Britain and the central European portion belong to Britain, which inconveniently is a near identical colour to that of the manx . That said considering the manx are clients to the Papal States by treaty, its not like your choice was inferior in a geostrategic sense so long as the perpetuation of said arrangement continues.

I confess to note that our colour is similiar to that of our arch enemy: the Neatherscotts, who control the Neatherlands, Great Britian, Norway and parts of India. We control our home land of the Isle of Man, Ireland, Greenland, the Falklands, Newfoundland, half of Australia and a few other isles such as Rhodes.

However it should be noted that we had land in Wales and England, till the Neatherscotts invaded us and took it from us. It happened around the end of the war we had with the heretic Romney to gain Greenland.

Anyway: together we will be stronger!

They were never dominated by the Crusade. Although this new dynasty has chosen to end the clientage agreement with us, we still wish to have good relations with them as they are the true successors to the Byzantine Empire. And the Spammers' Crusade in the vent of Papal aggression would clearly intervene in favour of Byzantium.

The Spammers are violating the will of diplomacy. The marriage is set. Empires ally with empires. The Spammers need keep their little selfs out of the matters of important powers.

Our diplomat would like to invite the Manx diplomat to the next Spammer International Comedy Festival as he makes the funniest jokes about Manx being an important power.

Need we warn the Byzantines that the Spammers have been trying to violate the rights of nations? Ask His Holiness on the issue. The Pope is a known critic of the Spammers.

No, we have not. If nations don't wish to follow these ideas then they can vote against them in the UN. Or just leave the UN if they are in that way inclined.

Anyrate: if the Spammers have a problem with the Emperor of Byzantine looking for generating a heir then they must not be fans of Byzantine...

We are fans of Byzantine, we just question why they would like to breed with a family of mass murderers.
