Court of the Caliph: BC Hotseat Council Thread

[Askthepizzaguy]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Ayyubid ambassador rises from his legendary chair, red with fury:

What is this ??? War ? War ? More war ?

The Levant did not need to be forced into surrender. Peace was possible...

Foolish... you are all foolish.

May Allah grant us mercy, for we all are unworthy of his magnificence.

The Ayyubids condemn the Roman occupation of the Holy Lands. We ask the Emperor to treat its people with justice and integrity, and protect both Christian AND Muslim Holy Sites.

The Ayyubids also condemn the Coalition of Freedom, for plotting the fall of Jerusalem with Constantinople, and for massing its troops near the Levant's borders.

Is this act of aggression a sign of things to come ? We will retain an amiable relationship with our Turkish, Omani and Seljuk brothers, for they are Muslims and blessed by Allah, but we firmly condemn the rats of Armenia and Georgia. News of the passing of the Takavor will not bring any tears from the Ayyubids. (OOC: it does bring tears but I'm too proud to admit it :) ).

Looking at the Georgians:

If your Jesus knows anything about integrity, honor and justice, he will smite your nation to the ground. Jerusalem and Armenia paid a heavy price for striking their own brothers. Cower in fear, for your Jesus and God will not come to help you, but to blow you into the wind.


Looking at the Assembly:

Ambassadors, we fear the recent events may pick up the interest of the Europeans, and the Pope.

You may have doomed us all...


Our Sultan is still unaware of these events, as he is still campaigning in Africa. Steady your feet, ambassadors, for our Sultan's anger will tremble the very ground upon which you walk.

The Turk looks at the Ayyubid delegate:

Surely you mean when you walk, it will cause the earth beneath our feet to tremble?

I see no reason whatsoever for the Ayyubids to pipe up here... you refused to support the Coalition against Jerusalem aggression, and you have also apparently refused to defend Jerusalem as well. Should you wish to stay neutral, then sit down, and stay neutral.

We thank you for your assistance against Rome, and it is only because of this that we do not take your tacit approval of Jerusalem's aggression as proof of something more sinister, and that we do not consider you to be allied with them. I don't think you will find many delegates here besides yourself in support of Jerusalem, either.

Let any here who wish to defend Jerusalem speak now, or forever hold your peace.
