Forum Communication only contest

[WARMASTER]

Hail wise and mossy Druid king. Peace with your kingdom would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps till turn 15 and a chance to reevaluate at that time?

Greetings Fiery Lord,

During our morning communion a fire lizard wandered into the sacred grove and promptly dug a nest before laying half a dozen eggs.  The omen was clearly one of trust between the druids and your mighty land.  Indeed, within a quarter hour of the fire lizard completing its task your message arrived.

Turn 15 is definitely agreeable; and we shall continue conversing with you so that when the month of reevaluation arrives we might find a mutually beneficial course to pursue.

May the northern winds continue to fan the flames of your ambition.  The druids are pleased to have peace!

Hail Lord Titus of the Warlock Kingdom!

I, of the Demonic Threesome, bid you greetings!

I would like to extend an olive branch in hopes of either working with you, or to just respect each other's territories.

Unfortunately, I am not skilled in the art of diplomacy, as this is the first game that I have played in that was not a no communication game.

I await your reply.

Hail Mighty Diws, lord of the Dark Elves!

I bid you greetings!

As a token of my esteem for you, I am willing to give you the location of a town in Synisvania that I found as I was traveling. I am willing to do this in exchange for either gold or friendship.

As I stated previously, I am new to the art of diplomacy, so I will leave this to you.

I await your reply.

Noble DuPont, ruler of the Kingdom of the Sacred Order and follower of the great God Uranus!

I bid thee welcome to this contest. I would like to establish relations with you. I think that we can help each other flourish and grow to greatness!

[Titus]

Hail Demon Spawn. As my favorite evil friend says With great evil comes less responsibility. I seek an ally someone to trust and provide mutual aid and defense. If you strictly wish non-aggression then that can be worked out as well. I hope to burn many down to your deity over non-aggression. I burn with anticipation.

Ancient Ones of the S. Sands,
  I'm assuming that your group moved through Arcania as mine did through the S. Sands.  Would you like to swap recon info?

Certainly here is what we saw. The other areas in the R row were all empty of population 
During movement we passed a Neutral village at RK.
[b]Alone in his tent the commander pondered over his choice; should he move [/b]directly to his next objective or delay to explore the unknown and undoubtable [b]dangerous sighting in area QN? This encounter is of Fine difficulty.[/b]

Thanks and I appreciate you leaving the curious item intact. You will find a Human Town named Violet Yards and a Neutral Village called Viking Way but only ruins and plains in West Xion, West Virginia, and West Utopia.

Friends of Arcania.  Our people have yet to travel into your region to collect our relic.  The same group that is entering the Sands this turn intends to move directly to recover the relic in your area, and it will take them two additional seasons to reach their destination.  We will gladly provide you with both their destination location, and the location of our hamlet to assist your search of Arcania.  
Also, may we be the first to congratulate you for using your natural skills to acquire the first seat on the High Council.  Should you desire to use those skills again, to your profit, we would like to buy your current seat and offer a price of 25K gold. 

Greetings Great Gnome,
I would appreciate the coordinates you ascribe above. Also, I am willing to sell you my HC seat this turn for the price you give (alternatively, I would sell it for a mere 5000 gold in return for your village in Arcania. However, either way, I would ask that if I successfully get the motion to raise my influence this turn, that you vote Yes for it next turn. If that is acceptable, then we have a deal!

King Dilly Dilly,

After plotting our village we noticed it importance in your region.   Might we be able to offer a sum to keep the village under our control and access to the shipping lanes?   We could offer your 12k food a month as a standing order that you would receive also during your winter months as well.   Is this something that is of interest to you Great King?

The Ancient Council

[DuPont]

Greetings to all as we begin the harvest season. The blessings of Uranus have fertilized the lands and the abundance is being gathered.

SA-AN. We have much to discuss. If you are to retain your village in the Lake of Uranus (known to others by its false name, the Sea of Foreboding), we would ask either 15k food per month (representing the value of both the food and gold produced there) or if you would be prepared to retrieve an artifact which the sacred words of Uranus reveal to be in your lands and trade it to us for the nominal fee of 10k. If you seek to trade in the Lake of Uranus, we will have to establish trading zones to avoid conflict among our navies. We are quite willing to negotiate with you on all these matters.

SA-GN. Our agricultural colony lies directly under the shadow of Yeltsin's Knoll.

SA-DU. We have a need for our troops that had been training in our academy and have recalled them so they can help spread the fruits of Uranus across the lands. They have been hugging the shores of the Sea of Terror and are now camped outside an unaligned town named Deer's Hollow. We suggest you wait a turn and send somebody to see if they can be converted to the worship of the Bride of Uranus, Mother Gaia.

SA-DE. Father Sky disapproves of your worship of the dwellers in the center. However, rather than unleash the winds of Uranus in your faces, we offer you peace until turn 13 with an option to renew in hopes that you learn the error of your ways.

SA-ALL. Uranus will be dropping several brown vessels into The Lake of Uranus (a.k.a. The Sea of Foreboding) and they will be floating around this turn. If anybody other kingdom plans to be out in the water, failure to let us know likely cause a big stink.

We will pay the fee you ask but we view it only a business transaction as you are asking more than 2x the annual food production of the village. We are willing to retrieve your artifact at our pace when our troops are free of other duties. If for some chance it is the Altar of Holy Ancients then we will already be claiming it.
