Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
French Foreign Legion Commander Exiled to Borneo for Insubordination
The French diplomats to the Japanese court were seen bearing submissions of friendship to the Shogun, saying that they had sent the commander of the ronin into exile in Borneo, and the French nation would now be happy to treat with the wonderful Japanese people in friendship, peace and harmony. They await an answer to their private missive, as they happily (and perhaps foolishly) told the reporter from La Republique, who promptly printed it in major papers distributed to all foreign capitals.

French Foreign Legion Refuses to Follow Commander
'What are you exiling us to Borneo to eat eel for?' asked the troops of the French Foreign Legion. 'We want the big city lights, and the gambling of Macao. The heck with you - we are going to sail into Canton - and enjoy the gourmet food and entertainment of the big city.'

Chief Councilor Cautions French About Controlling Their Navy
Chief Councilor Jhong Mingyu responded to reports that a rogue group of French ships may be on its way to Canton today by cautioning the French government to keep control of their armed forces. "If a French fleet were to invade Chinese ground", he said, "it would, in the eyes of the Emperor and the Grand Council, amount to a declaration of war between France and China. France would do well to regain control of its navy group immediately."

Japanese Imperial Diet in uproar
The Japanese Imperial Diet has recently met in closed session to discuss French threats to Asian powers. After 12 hours without break, Prime Minister Gurei Bishoppu emerged with this to say, "The age of European colonialism is at an end. The lesser Asian powers matter little, but an attack upon the Chinese would mean war not only with their nation, but ours as well. The Emperor is quite ready to see the Borneon Puffy Eel protected by the Imperial Japanese Navy and a French assault upon neighboring Canton would be the excuse the Imperial Diet is looking for. I do hope the French see the trouble this rogue fleet is causing and bring it back under control before it is too late."Avatar by Gorbash Kazdar

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
French Confused By Japanese Threats
The French parliament declared their official confusion over the missives they have been receiving from the Japanese people.
'It is clear that our navy needs to resupply', said the French parliament.
'First the Japanese tell us not to resupply in Borneo with declarations of war if we do. There declarations are so loud and belligerent that the universal diplomatic code clearly states that we are making the wrong choice in occupying this innocent, isolated, unoccupied island, and must select again from the alternatives. What is left but Canton?'
'We have no desire to hurt our Chinese friends, yet fear the threats of the mighty Japanese even more. And yet, now the Japanese are threatening us if we attack Canton - the choice they forced us into from the beginning. It seems that the Japanese navy is belligerent and warlike no matter what we do. And all we want is peace with our neighbors in Asia. Is there nobody who can help us? Will the great Japanese not have a change in heart, and leave us in peace?'
'Maybe we need to learn to read the little squiggles on the paper here, so we can understand what they are really communicating. Perhaps there are hidden subversive messages?'Last edited by KuH; 2007-03-06 at 10:40 PM.

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Just so you all know, I don't have jDip here at home, so Grey Bishop is going to be doing the official game post for this turn. Unless I comment otherwise, assume that everything he posts is correct and on the level. And don't worry, I handed over the orders to him after 10:00, and after he submitted orders to me - I also didn't include anybody's commentary, just the orders. If anybody has a problem with this, deal with it, because it was a totally kosher transaction. Wait, did I say transaction? =)

((Erm, are you sure you got that right? Because not only are some moves plain innacurate (according to the moves, China should get two builds, not one.), the moves don't match the map.))

OOC:
Sorry. Fixed. Had to amend the 'anticipated' orders I had entered with Moody's copy he sent me. Forgot to fix Russia's move from Siberia. Refresh if it still looks the other way.
Update:
A kie - hol... not A kie hold. Bah! Wasn't anticipating doing this for Moody (or at least this aspect of it) so made mistakes. Grrr. Fixing.
Update # 2: I even mistyped the update to say A kie - hold. Le sigh. My brain is melty because I've been using mass learning (cramming) for my Psych midterm. Sorry guys. Hey.. at least I remembered what mass learning was!Last edited by Grey Bishop; 2007-03-06 at 11:20 PM.

Treachery! Vile Treachery!
The foul Japanese have invaded Canton, striking a blow deep into the heart of the Empire! With the Canton Garrison away skirmishing with Russia in Sinkaing, the Japanese took advantage of China's trust and have forgone the capture of Formosa, which China would have tolerated, for a straight attack on China's own territory! Emergency plans are made for the raising of a second Peking Garrison in case the vile Japs intend to strike there next.

Sultan Luke to offer tours of Egypt!
The tours will include the Giza Pyramids, tomb of the Kings, and Cleopatra's palace (diving bell not included). To aid in the tourism effort, the bland Suez Canal has been renamed Canal #5. Foreign heads of state are encouraged to check out "The New Turkish Empire".
Ottoman Empire reclaims old glories
The lands of Greece, Bulgaria, and Egypt have signed signatory pacts with the Ottoman Empire to rejoin its great state. These pacts were confirmed in each case by a regiment of soldiers or marines, standing in as honor guard for Sultan Luke. Reports also claim that the Imperial Harem has had three new additions, each more beautiful than the last.GM of Ancient Battles: A homebrew warfare game based on Testament

The Imperial Sun: Japanese Fleet sails into Canton
In a move intended to counter a French Pirate attack upon Canton, a Japanese fleet has landed in China, disappointed to discover the lack of French pirates. With no pirates to face, the Japanese Admiral Yoshimoro has issued an extended leave to his men. This reporter caught up with the Admiral in the Cantonese night club 'Gao Xing Ji', who, while distracted by some dancers was recorded as saying, "Everyone was ready to fight and die if need be. That sort of expectation, when suddenly revoked, requires extensive... recovery time. The men have been given leave for the next... three to six months. Yes, that sounds good. Hey! Over here sweety!" The Admiral was not available for further comment and is said to be enjoying Canton quite well.Last edited by Illuminaughty; 2007-03-07 at 08:57 PM.

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
So, I was cleaning up my PM box, and I accidentally deleted all winter 1901 build orders that I had received (I checked them to download them, then forgot I was doing that and checked a bunch of old messages to delete). Since builds aren't due until Friday, it should be possible for everyone to get them in to me again. Sorry about that.

French Foreign Legion Basks in Borneo
Finally persuaded upon by their commander to join him in Borneo, the French Foreign Legion has pronounced itself delighted with the results. 'The famous puffy eel was everything promised - a real treat! We see no reason to ever want to leave this delightful paradise'.
English and German Tourists Invade Brussels
'We know that Brussels is the center of the European Union, but really, isn't this a bit too much?' the French were heard to say. 'Although in principle we had no objection to the Germans occupying this beer-swilling town, we had hoped they would wait a year to fully settle in, so that our embassy could have quietly pulled out. But somehow the English navy got misdirected and descended en masse with the Germans for a soccer game.'
'We are just waiting for the chants of one world cup and two world wars to break out'.
Fine Wines From the South
The marechale of the French troops in Spain disobeyed orders, and continued directly on to Portugal, to recover some of the Duoro red wines so beloved by his people. 'Hey, while you are off gallivanting in the south, we have neighbors here in the north' was the missive sent down to him. 'Return, return ... and bring some wine with you!'Last edited by KuH; 2007-03-09 at 04:13 PM.

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Alright, I'll post build orders here, then someone (perhaps Grey Bishop, wink wink nudge nudge) will post an updated map sometime in the near future. Spring 1902 orders will be due by 22:00 EST (GMT-5) Tuesday, March 13th. I apologize for not having jDip at home, but c'est la vie.
*Note! It's REALLY helpful if you title your messages properly. "CoE: Season Year, Country's orders." Typing out Concert of Europe for CoE is fine too. But especially right now, when I'm not reading every bit of correspondence that crosses my desk, and I'm busy, it's nice to be able to round up the orders quickly.
Yggdrasil: On the honor system, if you sent me your build orders Tuesday night and I deleted them, you have an extra 24 hours from now to forward me the original build orders.

We're already working on the honor system as far as letting Grey Bishop do up the maps. So, this isn't that far of a leap at this point.

Re: Diplomacy PBPM - Concert of Europe
Viggo - I am going to override you on this one. Like thewamp said, there's not much percentage in Yggdrasil lying about this. And when you mess up as a GM, you've got to make certain allowances. I understand your concern, but just because you've tried to bribe me doesn't mean Yggdrasil is below a little bit of honesty.
J_Muller - It's really not a leap of faith to have Grey Bishop doing the maps - I have all the orders. He made a few mistakes, but they were caught and fixed, and we're grateful for his help anyway.
And by the way, Yggdrasil did forward me those orders, and I've edited the previous post accordingly.Ramm in Lords of the Elements
