We will be true friends too, not merely military pacts like we make with others.

We are very insulted by this Pizza khaan's rejection of our most generous offer. Thus we declare war on him. His public impiety is troubling as is...

Sir taka, you may use our lands to cross to attack the Pizza khaan. We will help. Do not betray us or we will destroy you both.

You are insulted that we would not beg you for assistance? What would you have us pay you, anyway? Our resources are tapped out. Your policy of allowing one of your neighbors to exterminate another, because they can't afford to pay you to be our hired guns, is very, very admirable. Public impiety my left gluteal cheek. We honor the Pizza Lord and we won't be forcibly converted. You follow whatever religion you wish. We will not lower ourselves like curs to every barbaric nation that demands tribute, nor sell our loyalties to the highest bidder. Enjoy your time at the top, because when you tumble down to the bottom, it will hurt a lot worse.

It seems clear that the only nations with honor will stand against the religious zealots, and not very many have stepped forward. We are resigned to our fate, but rest assured, many of you will die when you cross our borders, cowards. We will destroy you to the last man, and not one of our soldiers will ever surrender.

Should we be annihilated by mercenaries and zealots, it will be fitting justice for the crimes of our past. And besides, I've got hosting duties and big games to play. At least you got your war, reasonless though it is.

You say religious zealots like it is a bad thing. Much better to follow the sacred ways of the Beef which are inerrant rather than follow limited human caprice based on value judgments indefensible by any standard of reasoning. It will be a great honor to put you to the sword for the sake of the Beef.

At best the ways of the Beef are divine, at worst they are human. Your heterodox ways are human at best. A well known human maxim is might is right. Enjoy your last moments on this fair land.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Your ways are inhuman at best, in our opinion. No civility whatsoever, just greed and love of money, selling violence and murder so that you can appease your stomachs. Did it ever occur to you that others might be willing to share resources, and that you don't have to murder them?

You claim to be Godly, but clearly that sentiment does not extend to your actions in this world.

We still refuse to murder you in cold blood, but when you cross our borders, that will be the last thing you do for your God.

As no leaders were able to carry on the legacy of White_eyes II, they have now declared to be neutral, aiding no one in their war.

You may pass the lands of the exiles without having to fight them. However if war is declared on them, expect some guerilla war fare.

Also in case of a crusade, I guess I have no choice but to let you pass through my lands. However, as we are neutral, the hostile army may also have access to my lands as well.

No Greyblades then?

I was having a little trouble keeping up with 3 games at once when he asked me to replace.

Nope. The host could take over but thats not exactly fair for you guys so...

**Askthepizzaguy** · 04-13-2009, 02:35

Hah! Stick a fork in us, we're just about done.

Looks like we've ticked off three nations, and I haven't heard any support, so... adios?

Well... I could take it over, but dont expect me to be doing very much.

Yoyoma II arrived at the meeting after unsuccessfully completing his ancient task of "Replacing the Serpentine Belt" He was a bit tired from the ordeal, but the arguing that had sprung up had peaked his curiosity.

Gentlemen, the business of Beefdom is business... and eating Beef. Oh yeah, and we take our morning cocktails pretty seriously, as well. Our eommissaries reached many of the nearby factions already with a list of both tradeable and desired goods. I shall pass now, to any factions we were unable to reach, the current list.

As far as this new combat... we would prefer to remain neutral in this rising quarrel. We ask that whatever nations do choose to raise swords, please allow our trade lines passage.

Vote:Abstain

Besides the obvious goods, such as Beef and Leather, Beefdom has a variety of goods that may be of use to you.

We grow a wide variety of Grapes, which we use to make:
Grapes
Fine Wines
Port
Wine Reduction Sauce
Cream of Tartar

Potatoes, which we use to make:
Potatoes
French Fries
Vodka

Grains, such as rye and corn, which we use to make:
Whiskey
Grain Alcohol

We also collect a certain amount of Metal Ores from our mountains.

We seek Onions, to fry in golden rings to celebrate the wealth of our nation. And Mesquite wood, to build great fires to cook our food with.

Consul Lacy's features twitch and smooth as she listens to the banter being tossed back and forth. Finally, after hearing enough, she stood up and cleared her throat to gain attention. When it was obvious she was still being ignored, she tried again, louder again, and then again louder still, until she broke into full yell...

"ENOUGH! The Consulate has heard enough from all sides! Aresea deliberately tries to turn the conversation away from the fact that they sent a spy, and the Horde has every right as a sovereign nation to refuse an ambassador! As do I! If you are so quick to invalidate his people freedom, then what of others? Our opinions and our free will can be brushed aside in your mindless quest of blind faith? The people of the Consulate will never stand for such behavior."

"Know that I let your missionaries in, but their preaching falls under my Jurisdiction now! They will preach where, when, and how I tell them too."

"I will stand by the Khaan's side - your willing to invalidate his rights and the rights of his people, because of your blindness and foolishness! I have heard enough as it is, and will ask of my brother to begin sending whole armies over to help defend the Khaan and his people."

"As to Aresea, we warn you now, we will not tolerate any further forms of subversion. Such acts are cowardly and should be beneath any ruler, ANY here!"
