Beware of Laurentius and Gouther

[BlackAdder]

Here are some parts of the "negotiations" that the order of Guridh had with me. They also proved to be just lying morons.

Here is an example:

4. The Order wants to buy the "special town" that lays next to the destroyed town of Ansgar. The Order will pay you 2.000.000,- GS for this town and hand it to Ansgar.

Ansgar took the town last quarter and did I receive the gold? Heck, no!

The war will be over very soon and all the land you own at this point
will be yours for sure. Laurentius will not attack you and all the small
Lords in your area will have to stop attacking you too. Otherwise they will
be judged and prosecuted by the order.

Since the Order of the holy Guridh is well known and accepted, your
agreement with these claims will satisfy the older Lords and they wont even
start attacking you or stop they have already begun.

So, the order is well known. For what if I may ask? For spreading lies and attacking young lords?

And they are that cowardly that not only Laurentius attacks me but also Gouther and Ansgar. I spit on you and your ilk. May you all die a most horrible death.

So, is there anybody out there who will fight for honour and glory and will join my side? And you have seen on the maps that I have told the truth the entire time.

Dear Lords and Ladies,

I think it’s about time for me to make some comments to this:

Of course only selected parts to draw a wrong picture.

Well, I will return to that statement later. Don't forget about that.

Ansgar took the town last quarter and did I receive the gold? Heck, no!

How should the Gold be transferred? Did you send out a contract offer about the two millions? No? Of course not. So shut up!

So, the order is well known. For what if I may ask?

I had written this before. Bad short-term memory, eh?

For spreading lies and attacking young lords?

No, not at all. You are the first one, because of your naughty behaviour.

And they are that cowardly that not only Laurentius attacks me but also Gouther and Ansgar.

Well you can't count Ansgar. He is just too small.
But take me as a substitute for him. I never liked dirty people calling my friends names. I'll show you.

I spit on you and your ilk. May you all die a most horrible death.

Well, that does it. I'm in.

So, is there anybody out there who will fight for honour and glory and will join my side?

You have typed accidentally an "and" where should be an "or".

And you have seen on the maps that I have told the truth the entire time.

Well, nobody doubted that you were attacked, but the small Lords had no other chance than attacking you. Remember! You removed all possibilities for them to expand. And refused to give them land. You should have seen the battles that have been fought for that reason. You only should have been giving them a couple of acres and all would have been great. You had such a good start. You could have been a noble and respected Lord or even Baron by now, but instead you suppressed the smaller Lords. Shame on you!

Now come to your senses and then think twice who is the moron!

Kind regards,
Godefroy the Embalmed

While we of Babylon have little sympathy for the fate of Lord BlackAdder, we must wonder just how far this "order of Guridh" will go in its attempt to subjugate the new lands.

Is this war about the small lords BlackAdder has opressed or about the greed of the members of the order who want to subjugate those small lords themselves?

Babylon expresses it's concern at the intentions of what appears to be a sinister alliance bent on the subjugation of the free lords of New Tamar.

[BlackAdder]

Of course only selected parts to draw a wrong picture.

No, it clearly shows that it was point number 4 on a list and that was the only point regarding my city there. The other points were about Medusa and Hobbit and unacceptable.

How should the Gold be transferred? Did you send out a contract offer about the two millions? No? Of course not. So shut up!

Of course I didn´t send a contract. I also didn´t give the go ahead order to take over that town, now did I?

Well, that does it. I'm in.

Ohh, you couldn´t resist, could you? Well, I guess it´s easy pickings, eh?

Any more takers here? Come all and get a nice piece of real estate on Elerion. All drained swamp land with nice views over some rolling meadowns.

You removed all possibilities for them to expand. And refused to give them land

No, I offered them land and cities if they become my vassals which is the normal practice among old lords.

You had such a good start. You could have been a noble and respected Lord

Yes, I could have been great. Funny, according to the zany Medusa, I already have 500 acres which is quite great, if it were true...

And to think that you wanted me as vassal last quarter.

@all: Do you wish to know who is responsible that I became that big that fast?

The very same that is attacking me now, namely Laurentius. I guess he has a guilty conscience for giving away gold as a present.

I only asked for a credit for about 40k I think, but he gave me 100k as a present because that is peanuts for you older lords. And look what I was able to accomplish with that.

So, he is behind all of me and now he is trying to correct a dreadful mistake. But he is the source of all your suffering.

@Godefroy: Thpffffft! Do your worst. Which is what you are doing anyway, right?

And at the time of the beep it´s 4 older and 3 young lords against me *beep*

BTW, I will stop being nice now and I will take at least one of you with you.

*throws dice*

Oh, bad luck for Gunthrer, his number came up.

[BlackAdder]

The order had that war against me planned for a long time.

How can I tell, you ask?

Well, if you see where I lost my cities and look at the formation of this landmass, then you realise that it takes years to circumnavigate.

So that´s why their demands were so unacceptable for the peace with Medusa, Gunthrer and Hobbit. Because if I had given in, then they would have wasted a lot of gold in troop costs or would still have attacked.

You are really forging new frontiers in how low an old lord can sink. I salute you!

[Kronar]

I speak on behalf of Lord Kronar, Guardian of the Fountain.

Our realm will add these cowardly attacks on Blackadder's realm to the Order of Guridh's list of evils.

Lord Kronar would like to declare the Order of Guridh a decietful alliance of greedy and violent Lords, and would like to add that our realm will never join such an evil alliance.
