stGMNES2: The Middle Ages

[Constantine]

To Castile
From England

we might, but we have situations to deal with in our homeland and France. But in the future we may send troops. Also lets open trade?

To Flanders
From England

Lets contiune the highly profitable Wool trade?

 

[alex994]

To Kiev
From Byzantine Empire

Would you like any of our fine silks?

 

[Grandmaster]

To England:
From Flanders:
Yes, of course.

To Byzantine Empire:
From Kiev:
Certainly, the Kievan nobility yearns for the luxuries of the more civilized realms. We would gladly import your silks. We see that Byzantium's population is booming; perhaps we could sell you some of our excess grains to help feed your people?

 

[alex994]

From Byzantine Empire
To Kiev:
It will be a pleasure to help another Orthodox Christian nation, we will export our excess grain to you.

 

[Grandmaster]

To Byzantines:
No, it is WE who wish to sell YOU our excess wheat and grains. Our population is small yet; we have more than enough food for ourselves. However, we would gladly trade for your silks.

 

[alex994]

To Kiev
Ah, my folly, we will gladly buy your excess wheat and grains, or we could trade for ur food, for my silks.

 

[IceEye]

It is the matter of power, you continued to colonize the lands that we informed you that we claimed. Is that not a reason to demand the land?

ooc: no you didn´t inform me that as xen posted as though he knew my orders(orders are allways secret)


To: Venice and Byzantium
From: The Kingdom of Sicily
Unless you come up with a serious deal, we will keep our lands on Crete and on Cyprus.

 

[Grandmaster]

OOC: IceEye, orders are not always secret. If you want to make your orders secret, put a *secret* tag on it or just PM it to me. Public orders are a necessary tool of diplomacy, no?

 

[Xen]

OOC- indeed- there is no other reason to post orders in oublic what so ever other then to show your nations intentions in public.

IC-

To:Sicilly
From: Venice-

Venice continue to insisit you hand over the lands theat are rightfully its, and Byzantiums by prior claim.

 

[erez87]

Orders
leave 600 horses to continue taking tribute annd pillaging and stuff.

Rest half going north to himalaya fast and half towards that lake.

Call the mongols more and more.

 

[Heine]

To Novgorod:
We offer alliance and trade if you promise not to expand into Finland...

To Norway:
To bad you couldent sign alliance with us, we offer you trade instead.

Orders:
Recruit 500 more knights.
Contiue Expansion into Finland, use 2000 Swordmens, 800 Crossbowmen and 1000 Knights.
Start trade with Novgorod and Norway if they accept.

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

 

[IceEye]

xen: No, that is not the purpose of the orders in a nes, especially not in a story nes such as this(and in my sig I say everything said is secret).

 

[Xen]

A) you said that to Kamillian, not not me- over half the stuff that has ever appaerd in my sig is a private joke between me and a few othe rpeople, how am I to know what is and isnt on yours?

B)not my fault if you dont assume things that to me at least, should be painfully obvious.

C)this is why i generally give my orders by PM, and dont post them. i suggest you do the same.

 

[IceEye]

xen, whatever. I am not going to start to argue with you. This is my last contribution to this.

B - I have been into nessing before you were born, so don´t assume anything
C - I did my orders for everyone to see so that I could contribute to the game in a more exciting way for everyone.

Anyway if the mod says that orders are public, so be it. My orders will be sent by pm from now ok?


To: Venice
From: The Kingdom of Sicily
I haven´t gotten any answer on whether or not you will retreat from my land in Italy that you have stolen.

 

[Xen]

To:Sicilly
From: Venice

I havent stolen anything- the nobles of bari agreed to enter the Ventian republic on conditiuon they were kept on as govenors (somthing I might add, the rest of the rpublic dosent have, so if your looking to try and incite revolt, or to try and seduce Venitians onto your side, your goign to have a hard time of it, unless you appear before the Ventian seante itself)

and just to make sure- most of southern italy was a gift by Byzantium to Venice- the principality of bari is near insignificant- make sure you check up on older maps of the NES to see what I'm talkign about here.

 

[Xen]

OOC- I'm 17- unless your over 30, I seriouslly doubt youve been doinf much of anything since before I was born

 

[IceEye]

To: Venice
From: The Kingdom of Sicily
I hope you understand that we cannot tolerate this and we will have to take action unless our territory is returned to us.

 

[Xen]

To: HRE

The nation of Sicilly is acting in agression upon us, we reequest that you honour our mutual protection pact- Venice can also supply transport for your troops (but if france were to go, it would still have pay)- that said, you do not have to attakc Sicilly, only aid in our defence, as that is all our allaince calls for

To: Byzantium The nation of SIcilly is preapeing to acti in agreesion to our nation, we ask that you honour the treaty we signed

 

[alex994]

To Venice
From Byzantium *secret*

If war starts, Sicily must be the one to start it, not u
