RenoNES II: They Terminate Before Steam

[Birdjaguar]

To Maratha (from France)
A state of peace would exist between our nations, however we feel that the treaty needs to be revised so that our allies and us get a proper compensation for exchange of territories. Refrain from rush actions and we shall have peace. Attack and our allies will defend themselves. We do not want war and we want further negotiations. Where we go from there we leave to you.

To France
From Maratha

The troubled state of affairs between France and Maratha is an unintended consequence of Indians wishing to be ruled by Indians and the proximity of French holdings in Pondicherry to those formerly belonging to Portugal. Our "war" is a paper war. No shots have been fired, no lives lost, no damages or loses. It is a phony war of posturing. France has not suffered and is owed nothing.

To France we say: We will not attack you or your possessions and we ask for nothing to keep the peace. We are williing to discuss the repatriation of Pondicherry to Indian rule so that future misunderstandings will be less likely to occur.

We have asked Portugal for peace and made a generous offer and they equivicate.

To: France
From: The Netherlands

We will honor our alliance with Maratha if it ever comes to war. However, this is not a threat, and should not be interperated as such. It is merely evidence that escalation would be bad for all parties, as it would trigger a world war. We belive that a fair peace would have Maratha handing over two eco points to Portugal, in exchange for the occupied territories, and are interested to see what Maratha, France, and Portugal all have to say to that proposal.

To the Netherlands
From Maratha

Our friend and brother, we greet with thankfulness for your support. We too will stand by the Dutch Alliance. We still await word from Lisbon on our offer. Portugal's remaining smudge upon the map of India is safe. We have no plans to claim it for ourselves. Should this unsettled mood grow hot and deadly, it will be by those you call neighbors and not by Maratha.

OOC: Reno, please value in EP this part of the treaty offering. You have my notes on this. I would suggest an EP per turn because of its exclusivity and my other projects.

6. To grant Portuguese merchants exclusive rights to export Marathan saltpeter for three years [econ benefit TBD by Reno]

 

[Reno]

Orders due in 11 hours.

 

[ThomAnder]

Orders sent.

 

[Gelion]

France to Maratha:
CC to Netherlands
Our allies the Portugese have entrusted us with dealing over this issue. We are pleased to hear that neither of us want war. Due to proximity of the New Year celebrations in our countries and other important events we propose that the discussions shall be postponed until the new year so that we can re-start them with cool hands and not fearing each other. We hope that it can be done. Portugal for its part promises to hold the status quo. France shall guarantee that. We hope we have an understanding.

 

[Reno]

Portugal backs it's French ally, and hopes that an agreeable deal will be reached next year.

To France and Portugal
From Maratha

Delay is not a problem for us, we will agree to further discussions at a time and place of your choosing.

 

[Reno]

Deadline in 4 hours.

 

[Luckymoose]

Make the deadlien now.No one will send orders this time of the day. I doubt.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Start the update!

 

[Reno]

Even if I move the dealine to be now, I won't be able to write the update until tomorrow anyway, so what would be the point?

 

[Reno]

And the deadline is right here. Got enough orders, update tomorrow.

 

[Cuivienen]

I hope you understand that I was away for the deadline, Reno. I did mention that I would need an opportunity to send orders late or a deadline extension. If you want, I can quickly type some up, though the deadline is passed.

 

[The Farow]

I would like to also have a chance to send orders as school as really messed up my schedule.

I am sending them right now whether or not they will count.

 

[Icmancin]

Hehe, all you people starting school. I only start on the 8th. Hehe...

 

[Reno]

I hope you understand that I was away for the deadline, Reno. I did mention that I would need an opportunity to send orders late or a deadline extension. If you want, I can quickly type some up, though the deadline is passed.

I can only give you 4.5 hours more time, after that it's too late. Since if I delay it further then the update will be postponed by a day.

 

[Luckymoose]

He sent orders hours ago? When wil lthe update be if you can do it as squdueled. I need to stop asking.

 

[Reno]

When wil lthe update be if you can do it as squdueled.

Today, can't give you any exact times on when but today in anycase.

I can still give Cuiv ~3 hours time, but after that, if people want to have the update today, I can't delay it any further.

 

[Cuivienen]

Never mind, I'm quitting.
