I have sent riders to the four courners of my lands, to await the "holy save"

still no word

Shogun Gunner · March 24, 2004, 01:24

My advisors tell me that one of my couriers, Mr. Stukin Outbox, of Outlook, is to be blamed for the delay.

He has been thrown in an Austrian prision.

Another courier, Mr. Sendin Receive, also of Outlook, has been charged with delivering the save to England.

inbound again Sire

Wittlich · March 25, 2004, 01:28

Ok. So what is DHLTB exactly? Can it be a secret code?!?

Paddy · March 25, 2004, 01:40

hahaha

DHLTB

Don has left the building

It is another PBEM we are playing.

Named after the founder, Don, who left the building very very early.

Iron Jackson · March 25, 2004, 16:51

Hmm, we got Wittlich confused.

Maybe we shall exploit that ...

Got a little bit confused myself.

Shall I ...
No, I won´t exploit this.

Save was sent to Bongo.

ChrisiusMaximus · March 27, 2004, 05:08

to all the confused, I hold the save. Im just finalising the peace deal to be put on the table then will proceed.

Iron I will be sending you some terms shortly, if you could reply ASAP then I can wrap this state of affairs up

ChrisiusMaximus · March 28, 2004, 06:20

My dear friends and Allies,

I have been charged with bringing together the warring parties in these recent hostilities. I have spoken at length with all the combatants and hope that all will see this as a fair and just plan.

I must point out that although a declaration of war was also served upon Spain by Prussia when Konig Bongo sneak attacked King Paddy, that we as two nations have yet to strike at one another!! I therefore have no claim against the Prussian people, and hereby forfeit such.

This leaves three nations to be considered!

Please peruse this map of the disputed lands.

Paddy · March 28, 2004, 06:34

I agree with these terms.

As stated from the beginning I do not desire any of these lands.

ChrisiusMaximus · March 28, 2004, 06:43

I digress,

Bongo you have privtely told me you no longer wish to maintain a presence in Sweden and Norway !

King Paddy you have stated the same !

My Lord Iron Jackson you have stated that Prussia should lose control of these lands !

After much deliberation I have come to this decision, if all three parties can hereby agree!

Lord Iron Jackson you will return control of the Prussian port city of Konisberg (circled red) to the Prussian people, you will retain control of Kristianstad (circled green) which is the second Prussian city you have captured. Further as a gesture of goodwill Lord Bongo will cede control of two further cities to the Russian people, Huskvarna siezed by thr Prussians from the British and Stockholm (both circled green)

Although King Paddy was the offended party here he desires no further retribution from the Prussian people save for a sum of 100 gold to be delivered at a time agreeable to both parties. He feels that garrisoning such distant towns is of no worth to his nation, and would also like to express his thanks and admiration to his dear ally Lord Iron Jackson.

Konig Bongo both Lord Iron Jackson and King Paddy both agree to allow Oslo (circled blue) to remain Prussian, so although you were prepared to lose this city you have been granted permission to keep this asset as a gesture of goodwill.

I Chrisius of Spain feel this to be a fair and honest settlement!!!

Finally all foreign troops must leave Prussia, including the Austrian peacekeeping force deployed by Lord Gunnar. Thank you Lord Gunnar for allowing safe passage through your lands for my inspection party.

You will see four brigades of cavalry travelling through your lands at this time.

I believe we have all learned lessons from these events, no man is an island, and any who tries to take for himself what is rightfully anothers will surely perish!! It was these same values that held us strong and united in the face of the evil Napolean. So sad that these values soon crumbled.

I see no return for us to such a happy existence as we once all shared, one can only hope that peace will prevail. Lord Bongo you have a fresh chance !!

I believe also that as a lesson from this war we can all agree to the policy of no razing! This will be deemed as an atrocity and the nation responsible will be held to account.

I shall enclose a peace proposal with the Prussian people with my next despatches, I hope it can hold good!!!

Your servant King Chrisius Maximus of Spain.

ChrisiusMaximus · March 28, 2004, 06:46

One missed point to all the above, I shall expect a report from my foreign advisor Don Miguel Santanez that all other parties have signed their own formal paper treaties when my government next convenes session in two months time !!!!!!!

ChrisiusMaximus · March 28, 2004, 06:59

Save March 1804 finally sent to the Sultan

Sorry for the delay folks, I wanted to finalise the treaty before continuing

Paddy · March 28, 2004, 07:02

Yes yes to Peace we travel...

Shogun Gunner · March 28, 2004, 08:40

The Austrian Empire rejoices!!!!

Thank you ChrisiusMaximus!!! Three cheers for ChrisiusMaximus, Mediator without peer!

Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray!

Thank you King Paddy, Konig Bongo and Czar Iron Jackson for your wisdom in seeking peace.

The Austrian Empire will bring the boys home as their is peace in our time.

Wittlich · March 28, 2004, 14:27

Mar 1804AD Turn sent to Shogun.

Shogun Gunner · March 28, 2004, 18:19

May 1804 to King Paddy.

The Austrian Army announces that all Austrian troops have been withdrawn from Prussia.

Did the allies ever have that "Post French Conflict Celebration Party"???

Paddy · March 28, 2004, 20:23

Party, yeah we almost did, someone let Bongo into the cellars a bit early.

Onto Iron Jackson

bongo · March 29, 2004, 03:48

I'm only following an old family tradition.

Paddy · March 29, 2004, 11:15

someone say the cellars were open... woo hoo

bongo · March 30, 2004, 13:57

Finally peace again, well, almost. There still exist a state of war between Preussia and Britain. And the world is still refusing trade with Preussia.

Konigsberg has been handed back to Preussia, while Preussian troops has left Stockholm and Huskvarna. Both cites has been offered to the Russians according to the peace treaty.

Note to the Vice Tsar. When you accept the swedish cities of Stockholm and Huskvarna, Preussian troops will still be left within your borders. Not to worry, they will leave as soon as possible. Most likely will all be gone next turn.

Paddy · March 30, 2004, 14:08

ahhh we are willing to accept this peace

looking forward to your documentation

bongo · March 30, 2004, 15:25

We stopped making documents, as we always destroyed them anyway we decided we could just stop making them and save ourself the trouble. Instead the entire nation is taking classes in origami to get rid of the excess paper...

ChrisiusMaximus · March 30, 2004, 15:41

May 1804 sent to Wittlich

Wittlich · March 30, 2004, 18:42

May 1804 Turn sent to Shogun.

Shogun Gunner · March 31, 2004, 23:11

May 1804 AD Save to King Paddy!

Paddy · April 1, 2004, 01:28

Thanks Gunner.
I have you message of clear out of your lands.
Unfortunately since you and I do not have a Right of Passage these units can only make 1 tile per turn.
These are the same units that patrolled your border for some time. So hopefully you will allow them a bit more grace in getting home.
I was quite surprised by your message

well onto to the Iron Prince
