Turkish turn 6 in!

France in.

To, the legitimate Monarchs of Europe.
From, the Earl of Evenwood; 1st Minister & Foreign Secretary to his Majesty King George III.

It has been brought to my attention by their Lordships of the Admiralty that the menace to Trade by Privateers has largely been eliminated from the High seas, at least as far as Northern waters are concerned and they have asked, as have the Guild of Merchants, that I pass on their appreciation to all the Seafaring nations who’s ships where engaged in sweeping this scourge from the seas.

The skill and dedication of the following navies in helping the Royal Navy complete this task is fully acknowledged by their Lordships.

Denmark, Russia, Venice, Holland & Spain.

From figures supplied by the Admiralty it would seem that the bulk of Privateers in the main originate from along the Barbary Coast, although here it must be added that 1rouge English Merchant who had sadly turned to this nefarious crime was also sunk.

However, it should come as no surprise to those who Trade via the High seas that the one glaring exception to the above is the amount of Privateers sponsored by the Court at Versailles, 5 have of this date been dispatched, whilst the French government has lent no support whatsoever to the elimination of these parasites on free trade, this I may suggest should stand as an object lesson to those of you on the Continent of Europe with regard to French concepts on Free trading practices.

To hopefully counteract any future return of Privateers to the Sea lanes, in my role as Foreign secretary I would hereby give due notice that, after lengthy consultation with the Admiralty & the Privy Council, His Britannic Majesties Government from here on will reserve the right to regard any Nationally sponsored Privateering as a legitimate Casus Belli.

I remain your obedient Servant.

Evenwood.

1st Minister & Foreign Secretary to King George III

I sure wish I had known about this policy against Privateers, and I would have left them home in port! As it is they became cannon fodder for the Danish fleet as soon as they went to sea! Good Riddance, I never liked them anyway!

Regards,
The Sultan of Turkey

Personal opinion Monte, but I reckon they have been Dummed down so much as to be practically worthless, still they add a bit of flavour to the game.

I do feel somewhat obliged to advise you of the outrage caused amongst my Household Secretariat at your form of address to myself, they do assure me that the correct form of addressing a reigning monarch is “Your Majesty”, “Royal Highness” being for the offsprings of a Royal house, however it is of no great matter to myself I can assure you.

The Austrian Emperor will try to remain mindful of these points of etiquette in future correspondence.

PS I hope you are enjoying the IPOD I gave you at our last meeting.

Is everyone's turn in?

[Franck]

All turn in.

I had warned that this would happen once in a while.
I'm staying at my GF's place for the week and she works in the woods... I need to drive 45 minutes to acces the internet. So I only do my turns every 48 hours. This is also why my replies to diplomatic letters have been slower too.


I also have a canoe camping trip on the weekend. Then it's back to normal life for 2-3 weeks and then one more week spent at GF's place... Until her contract end.


Turn in the doing.

[Franck]

Done and sent!

[barbarossa2]

I am having serious problems with my trade guys. Please check out my "Problems with trade" topic in the main forum and comment if you have had similar experiences. I am not really sure what to think.

[barbarossa2]

Did anyone in here see a rumor I planted about the French King being seen heading off for Bordeaux in a carriage with 10 of his consorts? I am testing to see if rumor planting is working.

[barbarossa2]

LOL. I have no clue as to how to combine turns. But I can try I guess. But I can't do it before tomorrow. And then who knows if there will be a delay because of my inability to combine the files.

[Franck]

Hi everyone...
I will be unable to play next turn by friday. I asked 2 player whom I trust they won't use the ''meta'' game against me to play my turn if possible. I also set pretty clear guidelines for them to follow. If for any reason they can't play my turn, I have no problems with some one else playing my turn. So just ask it here and the person I asked to play my turn can send you my paswword (for the spanish) and what I wanted to be done.


I'll be back on sunday so see you then and I can start replaying 1 turn every 12 hours if you can keep up with that pace


See ya!

And wish me some good canoe and camping...

I wish you a good weekend!

[barbarossa2]

French turn in.

By the way, as I have indicated and shown in the post in the main forum, my trade is f&$ked. I can't add any new trades. And I don't even know how to get the ball rolling again. I tried to cancel some smaller exchanges this turn to see if I could add some new routes. I guess we will see what happens.

Eric suggested it MIGHT be because of a "maximum" trade limit. I have 49 active and it won't let me go higher. Guess we'll see what happens.

To the Monarchs of Europe (and Sultan),

The King of France is curious if anyone here opposes the the rise of Sweden to middle power status with the acquisition of Denmark, its lands, and its navy. I have been working to allow Sweden a full voice in international affairs with just such an acquisition.

If you are against it, I would be curious to know. Perhaps you could also give your rationale. This is a forum as adequate as any.

Most sincerely,

Louis XVI
King of France

Am I missing something? I believe a Sultan is a type of Monarch.

PS I would be completely shocked if Great Britain didnt immediately declare war and destroy the Danish and Swedish Navies. I know I would.

Turkish turn is in.

[timurlain]

My turn in will be delayed. I am in the UK now working (I work 3 weeks from home and 1 week in the UK). These weeks just get so hektic that I barely get couple hours of sleep in the night (and no it is not wild partying )

back... Still waiting on a turn if I'm right?
