[tommy_toon]

From Eire
To Israel

We are in no way guranteeing that we won't attack you, we are merely recommending that you change your terms of peace so that we won't have to attack you.

 

[Kamilian]

From the Caribbean Empire

[Israelite9191]

To Portugal
From Israel
It has come to the attention of his majesty, King Solomon, that your allies are preasuring you not to accept our terms for peace and for us to change them. In all his wisdom, King Solmon has decided to add that you would recieve 5 galleys and 5 tiremes as repeartions for the losses to your navy if you sign the treaty as we have otherwise proposed. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel!

Post 200! Yeah!!!

 

[Kamilian]

From Songhai
To Israel:
If your condition for establishing a peaceful relation with us is our giving away parts of our territory to you, then no deal.

From Ghana
To Israel:
We agree to let your Kohanes in.

From Portugal
To Israel:
HA! You think 10 measly ships will make up for the loss of land, people, and trade outposts and opportunities that we would incur if we would sign the treaty?
No.
We made our last territorial concession we will ever make in our treaty with the Dutante Alliance.
We will fight to get the Balearics and Sardinia back. And though we may not in the best military or financial situation right now, eventually, you will be made to suffer for your treachery!

From Fez, Nubia, and Ethiopia
To Israel:
We welcome your people with open arms.

From Benghazi
To Israel:
We grow weary of your aggressive policies in the Mediterranean Sea. If you agree to restore pre-war borders with Portugal, then we will gladly embrace your preachers in our midst.

From Portugal
To Rome:
Before you're so quick to side with Israel, we remind you that their invasion and occupation of Sardinia and our trading port there, Cagliari, has ceased our trade route agreement, thereby not only eliminating a source of income for us, but also for you as well.
We ask you to consider this before you defend Israel in any way: after all, you could easily be trading with us and with Israel, and get more income, rather than just trade with Israel.

 

[Israelite9191]

To Portugal
From Israel
Your fate has been sealed.

To Roma
From Israel
King Solomon has seen the words that Portugal has sent to you. Please, do not head them. It is true that our taking of Sardinia resulted in your trade being cut off from Portugal, but we have attempted to better this situation. We have offered to set up a trade route with you despite the fact that we need the money in other areas much more than in our economy. Please remember that we have always been your allies but that Portugal is allied to your enemies. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Roma!

To Songhai
From Israel
The King and Knesset see that you have rejected our offer. This in no way offends us but mearly resigns us to the knowledge that we will not gain the land for trade posts that we had wanted. We wish to offer you a non-agression pact if you allow our Kohanes to travers your territory. We also as that you build a city along the Atlantic so that future trade between our peoples will be possible without trade having to flow accross the merciless dessert of the Sahara. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Songhai!

To Ghana, Fez, Ethiopia, and Nubia
From Israel
The King and Knesset are greatly pleased that you have accepted our offer. May our bonds grow stronger and may the Lord of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob smile upon your lands. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel!

To Benghazi
From Israel
The Wise King has heard your position, and though he believes you are mistaken, he can easily understand why you would take such a position. You are thinking 'First Portugal, why couldn't we be next?' The reasons that you are not next are as follows: 1) We have nothing to gain from conquering your lands. We are a people who pride ourselves in trade, and once we have the Portuguese trade cities in the west, we will have no reason to invade you. 2) The second reason, besides trade posts, that we attacked Portugal is that they were becoming a portal for the aggresive northerners to enter into the Mediteranead. You, on the other hand, are acting as no such portal. 3) You are too powerful, plain and simple. Though we could hold our own against an attack, your forces are simply too vast and powerful for us to launch an invasion from accros the sea or dessert.
We hope that this has clarified our foriegn affairs. We once again ask that the Levites be allowed into your nations to preach the Law so that our peoples will go closer and understanding flourish. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Benghazi!

King Faolán laughed hastily as he was told what King Soloman had said. It was rather funny, hearing that someone so far away wished to force another nation to cede its homelands to them. Did this insane King actually expect it to happen? Even if it had, did he expect the people of Portugal to be happy about it, or to accept it peacefully? What a moron the King thought. Now the Israelites wanted war. Well, if it's war they want than they shall get a war. Faolán pulled on his royal cloak and left his palace for Pariliament.

Within minutes he had arrived. Parliament was already scheduled, so there was need to wake or go searching for any Lords. The King walked between the House of Commons and the House of Lords up to the podium. He looked into the eyes of the Parliament members, trying to estimate how they would react.
"Members of Parliament, it is with deep resolve that I must inform you that the Israelites wish to start a war against Portugal to further their empire. I believe it is the fault of Eire and her allies, for leaving Portugal so undefended against the aggresors of the south. I propose that we launch our are armies and navies to counter this aggression against Portugal and protect her lands."
"Your majesty, this is outrageous! How do you expect us to protect a nation that attacked our ally? They do not deserve the protection of Eire!" shouted a Lord
Count Vistro rose from his seat, "Though we have left Portugal weakened, they should be able to protect their lands. However, considering the vastness of our navy, I do not see any problem with sending a fleet to protect her shores."
"No, not with so few coins in our coffers"
"Why not just crush Israel, she is such a pathetic nation as it is?"
"Kill the Jews"
"Let us not get involved in another war, not when we just avoided another"
"But what about our honor?"
The Parliamentry hall broke into shouting and curses against Israel. It took some time before order was restored amongst the energetic representatives of Eire. The only decision made that day by Parliament was to ban the practice of Judaism, for they believed it corrupted those that believed in it with greed, aggression, and stupidity, as well as sending any believers of Judaism to work the mines in Greenland for the safety of Eire.

lurker's comment: Could you also execute any future emissaries from Israel shouting L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! in their diplomatic messages? It's rather annoying Also, it is much better for the spirit if the Followers of Judaism were sent to mine ice in Greenland, since there's nothing else worth mining

From: Rome
To: Israel
Emperor Romulus is very disappointed to your actions. We had just avoided destructive war with Eire, and you are already starting another one. Emperor suggests that you withdraw from the islands you took from Portugal. In return, Rome will sell you the island of Malta, so that you will get the trading post you wanted in mediterrean.

 

[stalin006]

ill send everything, after i figure out what is going on (you have very complex rules )

 

[Kamilian]

my rules aren't really complex. i just tend to ramble and make it long which makes it seem confusing
orders are due 10:00 AM Central US Time tomorrow

 

[tommy_toon]

lurker's comment: Could you also execute any future emissaries from Israel shouting L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! in their diplomatic messages?

Yes, as a matter of fact that's another thing Parliament decided upon.

 

[Israelite9191]

To Eire
From Israel
The King and Knesset have recieved your word of war. We understand that you insist upon war, which we understand completely. But one thing that will not be tollerated is such blatent anger and hatred to the faith of Israel. We ask that religion be kept out of the affairs of our nations. L'Yisroel!

To Portugal
From Israel
His majesty will return your land to you under one condition, that Israel will be able to use your ports as if they were her own no matter who we are trading with. L'Shalom!

To Rome
From Israel
Seeing as you heeded our words in regards to the affairs in Austria, the Wise King has decided to accept your offer if our negotiations with Portugal go through. L'Yerushalayim!

OOC: Do to popular demand, I will be cutting my ending down to one phrase rather than four.

 

[tommy_toon]

From Eire
To Israel

Obviously you have recieved word from another slime ball under the corruption of Judaism, for we have not declared war! It is obvious to us that you believe you are a seer, that you can read what other people are doing or wish to do, even though you are so far away from a closed parliament session. Even if you had a person listening to our parliament, we have not decided for peace or war yet. We will do as we see fit for the protection of Eire, wether it is to ban religion from our lands and send its followers to the ice mines. If we see at a later date that it is not necessary, than these laws will be revoked, but not until than.

OOC: You need to pay more attention to what I write

 

[alex994]

lurker's comment: I feel important, someone actually listened to the advice of a lurker

 

[Kamilian]

From Portugal
To Israel:
Your offer is a non-offer. We will not become economic puppets.

 

[Kamilian]

I re-distrtibuted Australian (Sheep's) and Brandenburgian (stalin's) military because I had not gotten anything from them about it, and update is tomorrow morning, and I don't want to have to deal with splitting it up then.
If it's not to their liking, too bad. There was plenty of time. Sorry.

 

[Kamilian]

From Songhai
To Israel:
If you manage to build a lasting settlement nearby, fine. That's your prerogative and if you acomplish it, congratulations. But we re-iterate only that even as your priests pass through our lands and teach us of your beliefs, we will not give away even a single village to your empire.

From Benghazi
To Israel:
No. Words are meaningless when your actions of trying to extort Portugal are so blatant.
