The kingdom of crud will dispatch an emmisary immeadietly. We are close here in Crud, so he will be able to speak for me personaly. He will go bearing gifts, as well as gaurds for the gifts. so please do not take the armed men as a hostile gesture.

Further info on Brunei:
The Imperial Sultanate has declared itself the protector of all Muslim and other non-Pagan (I almost accidentally wrote panag!) peoples and the enemy of the pagans that summon evil beasts to do their bidding.

[ooc] Are we going to start off as if we are a brand spanking new kingdom and are made of one town at first? or are we going to pretend that we are large well established kingdoms?[/ooc]

Hi! Finally got my account going again, I had to get it activated again, for some reason. If the game isn't full yet, I would like to join.

The United Kindom Of Bachma.

The people of Bachma are Industrious and Militaristic.

The people of Bachma are prone to war, thus have become accustomed with Iron working, producing fine weapons (axes/swords/Maces).

Space05us · May 29, 2003, 21:15

Letter sent via diplomatic messenger(who had to run for three days straight through some of the most hostile territory he has ever seen, and appearently on arrival, from what we've heard, collapsed from fear and exauhstion) :

Adressed; To the Grand Ruler of the Kingdom of Bachma
(royal seal of the crossed pick and shovel stamped in gold)

The people of Crud would like to extend thier hands in friendship to the Kingdom of Bachma, we believe our elaborate defenses and your warlike nature could benifit from each other. As such we invite you to share our living space! We can garuantee food and shelter for all of your people, and as much iron, copper, and Dirtrium* as you need to craft your weapons and armour!

Signed; Your Brothers, The Crud'ites

*Dirtrium is a lightweight metal that is slightly weaker than Iron, and stronger than bronze or copper, yet more flexible(than iron), making it ideal for certain tpes of armour.

[ooc] is making up my own metal a tad bit too much? [/ooc]

plexus · May 30, 2003, 02:02

I think so, Space, I'd wait until we have the ability to do that via alchemy.

trickey · May 30, 2003, 06:52

Letter Sent to the Great Ruler of the Crud'ites:

We welcome the hand of the Crud'ites in friendship. Please, accept my gift of fifty of our finest Swords (who have been carried to your land by 5 horses, and should be arriving soon), arm your best with them.

I have dispatched five scouts to your land, following the Directions your messanger gave us. They will scout your metal-rich land for spots were we could set up a type of production centre. With your metal and knowladge of defensive warfare, combined with our skilled iron workers, I believe we could equip both of our armies to defend any attack. Please consider my proposition.

Your Friends, The Bachaians.

ooc: Bachaians is pronounced Bak-A-Ans.

civman2000 · May 30, 2003, 08:14

To all nations: We would like to know your religious beliefs.

erz87 · May 30, 2003, 10:01

Already diplomacy?!
The game havn't even started!

wierd...

Space05us · May 30, 2003, 11:44

[ooc]Nothing dealing with the shifting of boarders, exploration, scientific advances, etc. merely setting the stage for what is to come. Think of it as the political history of the game we're about to play
Also there is a small circle of old NES players here at apolyton with absolutely no patience whatsoever

[/ooc]

Letter adressed to the Imperial Sultanate of Brunei:

The Crud'ites worship one god, The Ming. However they also believe that he has an evil twin brother, The Ming, who is the cause of all evil in the world. We have many religious customs and rituals that would take too many sheep to write about. However, we can assure you that we do not raise the dead, sacrafice cute puppies or kittens, nor do we hang goats from thier hind legs before letting them plunge thousands of feet the thier inevitable deaths.

We hope this answers your question.

trickey · May 30, 2003, 16:19

Letter Adressed to the Brunei:

The people of Bachma worship Metali, the god of Metal. He provides us with food, water, and other basic survival nessecities. Yearly scacrfices of 3 goats take place at the summit of mount Skile, the highest point in all our fair land.

Metaliturtle · May 30, 2003, 18:47

woah woah woah!!

lol you guys don't automatically get contact with each other... Trickey, regardless of how many goats you sacrifice, you cannot claim that your god provides you all the resources you need. (although the name was alright :-) )

trickey · May 30, 2003, 19:20

ooc: Yeah, that is a pretty spiffy name, isnt it

By "all the reasources we need", I only meant the bascis such as food/water/shelter and stuff. Ill go change it now though, it does sound a bit unfair

Metaliturtle · May 30, 2003, 21:29

now you must ask yourself, "if the god is providing me with all this stuff, then why must I burn some of it in sacrifice? Seems to me that 3 goat-sized thank you notes would be more appropriate

Space05us · May 30, 2003, 22:39

ooc:"We're at war? Go raise the price on all of the soon to expire meat and lable it 'Grade U S A, Liberty Cut, tastymeat.' and tell the liberals it is to protest the war in Iraq." -My Boss

your boss really told you that?

and

Wheres the bloody map!!!

SKILORD · May 31, 2003, 00:47

Closing Signups.

Politcal Map on the way.

Merti: You want a new thread?

trickey · May 31, 2003, 06:38

ooc: If we don't sacrafice 3 goats exactly, he will take everything away, this keeps us from being greedy

Maybe I should just drop the whole god giving food thing, Metaliturtle doesn't seem to like it

Space05us · May 31, 2003, 14:42

ooc: When you said he provided everything for your people I thought you were being all religious-like. A lot of real religious groups say that thier god/gods provide everything they need, its just that they have to do work to get it. but if Meti doesnt like it perhaps you should sacriface vigrins instead of goats

trickey · May 31, 2003, 15:05

[OOC]: nevermind my earier post about religion, too controversial

Here is a new one [/ooc]

The Bachaian people worship one god, Metali. He is a cool dude, and tells some funny stories some times. We sacrafice 5 virgins every year for him, to avoid his wrath.

Space05us · May 31, 2003, 15:11

ooc:

Metaliturtle · May 31, 2003, 18:04

LOL trickey

and space, my boss really did say that, and he made a sh*tload of $$ enough to give me a 75 cent raise. It wasn't illegal, just almost...

and you can send those virgins to: Mark Andersen c/o SPHS, Sun Prairie, WI, 53590

SKILORD · May 31, 2003, 22:03

Ahem!

A certain moderator would feel left out, this is SMNES.

Nick Wilczynski

Oh, wait, I don't wanna give you guys my adress.....

maybe i'll get a P.O. Box in Pennsylvania for you to send em to...... yeah.

foolish_icarus · May 31, 2003, 22:34

The tribute of fair maidens will begin as soon as you at least get the map up

youre beginning to get too close to the sun again

if youre impatient do as we have been doing, deal with diplomacy then worry about the map.

Where is "greyish blue"???
