[Ferret]

can someone sub this turn for me? I really don't have time to play it.

[_Tristan_]

Will do...

I'll need your PW and directions...

[FactionHeir]

I'll do it since I subbed previously and know the password.

No action of consequence except sending out a few random map exchanges to clarify borders and such.

HRE's turn

[FactionHeir]

This is a decent speed that we are picking up again, pat yourselves on the back guys.

Btw, how are your illicit generals Tristan?

[_Tristan_]

One remaining, need a navy to finish him though... One should reach him soon...

Others have all drowned in shallow waters...

He hasn't move an inch in the meantime...

[Ramses II CP]

Mmm, I forgot, mine just went in the drink at Con., leaving a widowed 19 (?) year old bride to console herself.

Man, upkeep hits like a truck after a crusade. Looking forward to getting to those backfield Turkish cities now.

[Csargo]

Turn done and uploaded. I've just realized I'm surrounded by super-powers

[Cecil XIX]

Sicily's up.

And I think its time to look for a replacement for Didz

[_Tristan_]

I'll sub one last time to keep the pace then Scotland is up for grabs...

[Zim]

Ok, although I'll gladly defer if Didz comes back and resumes play, for now it looks like I'll be playing Scotland. Tristan, if you don't mind I'd like to take the current turn. I've also sent a pm.

Anyone well versed in Scotland's diplomatic stances is welcome to pm me.

[_Tristan_]

Then as its most long standing ally, I'll PM you on your situation

[Zim]

Ok, I'll wait on the pm before playing the turn.

General happenings in Scotland:

England attacked Scotland and beat them handily, forcing them to a hopeless last stand at the coast of Edinburgh, when Scotland had half the army strength and no funds.

During that English push however, France had crept up the channel and taken London and Nottingham with its crusader forces that were destined for Antioch. England defeated Scotland at the battle, forcing them to retreat with almost no forces left, but the very same year France took York, which was England's last province. Denmark had sent troops as well, but those did not reach Scotland in time to help.

Amazingly, France lost nothing to desertion due to taking a province each turn and garrisoning its forces inside.

Since, Scotland has been rebuilding, but efforts to ask the French to return several Island territories have been outright refused, and one could argue that Scotland is now France's little vassal kept at arm's length.

[Zim]

Hmmm...now I see why didz hasn't been playing.

[FactionHeir]

Indeed, Scotland was excommunicated during the Island wars and when it was ready to rebuild, the King noticed that the French had taken Dublin and gifted it to the pope rather than giving it to Scotland.

The Scottish king however was not one to be meddled with and took Dublin back from the papacy, having nothing to lose.

Not at all true... Didz and I had an understanding that territories would be bought back which required him to fill his coffers first...

Now York and Nottingham have been returned to the Scottish crown... for the lowly sum of 500 per 10 turns... with troops in the bargain...

I don't know what Didz had in the books for the future however... Only thing I knew was that he wanted to negociate with the Pope in the hope of ending his excomm...

[Zim]

Seems like that was the only way to avoid being completely marginalized after the English betrayal of the Anglo-Scottish peace deal.

Done.

Long Live our French Overlord!

[FactionHeir]

EF's turn is overdue, I'll be skipping it when I get back tonight.

[Zim]

Doesn't he have an ally to play his turn for him? I can do it if there's no conflict of interest.

EF's turn is overdue, I'll be skipping it when I get back tonight.

[FactionHeir]

Its been 72 houirs, so it has to be skipped rather than played since he has not arranged for a permanent sub.
