PerfNES I: Ultima Ratio Regum

[Espoir]

Orders sent. Bangkok will burn.

 

[Perfectionist]

Right, with less than 18 hours to go until the deadline I have...very few orders. Get them in, people. If I have to bump the deadline even a couple of hours any chance of getting the update out this weekend goes away.

So apparently I've been told there were some questions
about me fighting near Minskas, well I meant I wanted to fight next to the walls

That was not conveyed by your orders, I'm afraid. I'm not a mind reader.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Starting to write my orders now.

9 The Taming Power of the Small

The Judgment
The Taming Power of the Small
Has success.
Dense clouds, no rain from our western region.

Hence the image of many clouds, promising moisture and blessing to the land, although as yet no rain falls. There is a prospect of ultimate success, but there are still obstacles in the way, and we can merely take preparatory measures. The time has not yet come for sweeping measures.

The Image
The wind drives across Heaven:
the image of the The Taming Power of the Small.
Thus the superior man
Refines the outward aspect of his nature.

Nanhai, you have betrayed us in a most vile and perfidious manner and brought about your own destruction. The Mandate of Heaven seeks another home. The peace we granted freely in the past now has a non negotiable price:
1. All land currently held by Guangzhou to be retained by Guangzhou
2. All land south of the Pearl River to be ceded by Nanhai to Guangzhou.

How about a response, please.

 

[Espoir]

How about a response to my diplomacy? I didn't even include an annoyingly condescending poem.

 

[Birdjaguar]

From: The Son of Heaven
To: The Guangzhou Society

We are overjoyed at the filial virtue you have observed in the customs of war, honoring the wisdom of your ancestors by presenting the value to our children of honor over treachery. Please accept our tidings of friendship, and let from this day forward agree to sacred peace. Let no warrior of ours ever do costly battle with a soldier of yours, and let our fleets preserve peace on the eastern sea for trade and travel.

We accept your offer of peaceful accord between our nations.

{Sorry, I did forget this.]

From the Emperor

Our military plans are not subordinate to your trading interests. We apologise for any incidental inconveniences war may cause your merchants. We continue to adhere to the principle that we will not intentionally obstruct your business if you do not obstruct ours.

We thank you for reminding us of the increased value at present of the tariff revenue along the Garonne. (ooc: )

Unfortunately, you /are/ intentionally obstructing our business through your actions. This is not a mere inconvenience: you are about to sever a major artery of trade. I again ask you to stay away from the Garonne and its trading hub of Bordeu.

also lol@Iberia.

<noob>: Hey Kentharu, I was totally joking earlier.
<noob>: You should've seen the look on your face when I threatened to destroy all your overseas possessions and trade.
<Kentharu>: Oh noob, you're such a kidder!
<Iggy>: Best Friends Forever!

Be not antagonistic. We will not divulge or limit our military plans. We have read and understood your request.

 

[Yui108]

orders in at the buzzer

 

[Perfectionist]

Right, deadline is here, and I'm still missing a lot of orders, including some fairly important ones. England, Italy, and the Mongols in particular really need to send orders, because NPCing their situations will be annoying. I'll do the missing countries last, so if you haven't sent orders and the update isn't yet up you should send something, as I'll likely include it. To Azale, spryllino and Littleboots in particular, please try and send something; even a couple of lines would be really helpful.

I'm not being antagonistic; just concerned.

OOC:
Get those damn orders in .

 

[spryllino]

What? Oh damn you said 18 hours not 30. oops. I'll just write them and get them in within half an hour.

 

[Azale]

I'm sending orders tonight, like usual. For some reason I was under the impression the deadline was midnight. My mistake.
