*sigh*

"f**k the pride" said SaT, and he is probably right to some extent. besides the anger has passed etc etc. I'd like to thank to ppl who messaged me and/or expressed their concerns with my humble person leaving the game few weeks ago. especially positive comments about my RP were very nice. thanks guys!

it had to happen sooner or later anyway.

to the point though.

if possible I'd like to kindly request my old position as Pommern (as it seems it is still free, thank Nuffle) with my old court (again, if possible).

I knew you wouldn't stay away from long... The poison is in your veins, it'll never let you go.

Welcome back.


Please once again visit the National Statistics thread and make a post informing our resident Nat Stats man cccino what your new realm is and what name you have chosen for it's head of state. Now you're ready to post your stupendous court thread!

Please choose between your new role in the Medieval RPG and any role you may have in other RPG games on these baords and adopt that role’s avatar. Either way, please include a mention of your new role in the Medieval RPG in your signature.

We ask that you do not use instant messaging programs like MSN, ICQ and AIM to discuss deals and alliances for the purposes of the game. Doing so generally leads to animosity, mistrust and a lowering of role-playing standards. Unless an RPG Steward is trying to contact you in order to help you understand the game better, it would be better for all concerned if you politely avoid talking about your role in the RPG with other, active players. The forum’s message-posting and private messaging (PM) systems should be all you’ll ever need to play the game.

Pommeranian court unlocking as we speak.

The Peace of Prague, A.D. 1453​

In fulfillment of the bull of His Holiness, Nicholas the Fifth, Servant of the Servants of God, and by the solemn oaths of all whose seals are here affixed, the articles following of this compact between the Crowns of Aragon, Bohemia-Hungary, Naples, and Sicily, is hereby ratified and made law in the Year of Our Lord Fourteen Fifty-Three.

Primus - Wherefore peace shall reign forever within the Church of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior, a white peace, pure and unfettered, is made between the Crowns of Aragon, Bohemia-Hungary, Naples, and Sicily.

Secundus - For his deplorable conduct in the government of Naples, his failings of fealty towards the Holy See, and the history of error that has followed him like a noxious cloud, Renatus Angevin shall abdicate the Crown of Naples at the behest of his liege Pope Nicholas V who will subsequently accept the oath of allegiance of Ioannes Angevin heir to the crown by the custom of the land.

Tertius - In recognition of her inexcusable conduct in this conflict and the war against the Barbary peoples, observing her continued disobedience to the laws of the Church, and the chaos that has surrounded the Crown of Aragon, Blanca de Trastamara shall repent and seek the forgiveness of God Above and communion in His Church and abdicate her crown. The Holy Father shall hear the cases of those wishing to present the right and proper heir to the Crown of Aragon after the conclusion of hostilities.

Quartus - Due to the incessant instability in Aragon and the failure of the Crown of Aragon to properly shepherd the Crown of Sicily to the righteous path of Salvation, upon the conversion of Basil Rex from the heretical doctrines of the schismatic Churches and his communion with the Holy See, the Crown of Sicily shall be made freely sovereign, unfettered by fealty to the Crown of Aragon.

Quintus - Recognizing the noble and conspicuous deeds in service of the Church and the example set for all Christendom by Ladislavus Rex His Holiness, Nicholas V, Pontifex Maximus Summus Pontifex, confers on His Royal Majesty the Order of Saint Peter accepting him and all of his hereditary descendants, who following his example shall merit it, into the Knights of the Great Ribbon.

The Timurid-Zayyanid Pact of Islamic Solidarity & Brotherhood, August 1453​

I. The undersigned do hereby recognize that all articles of this pact are valid in all cases.

II. The spirit of this document, which is to build the signers' friendship, strength, and commerce, bringing prosperity to its people, and Islam, shall be held in good faith, witnessed by Allah and the Islamic world..

Trade
III. The Timurid Empire and the Zayyanid Caliphate shall allow portions of their Trade Quarters to warehouses and caravanassi to be held by merchants of the other nation.

IV. The co-signers shall allow each others' merchants safe passage, and quarter in each others' respective lands at all times; providing for their defense and any aid in the event of danger; including freedom from persecution based on nationality or faith, for citizens owing allegence to the respective co-signers.

V. In the markets held by the Timurid Empire and the Zayyanid Caliphate, the traders originating from these two nations shall have unfettered access to the rights of trade. A tariff of no more than 8% above local tariff on any good bought or sold, and no tariff of more than 4% shall be assesed on goods held or moved through the nations, shall be assesed.

On the Guardianship of Islam
VI. Whereas the Timurid Empire hold sway over all of Asia, and the Zayyanid Caliphate holds sway over the Maghrib, they have an essential duty to the health, wholeness and security of Islam. Though neither party is in nexus to the Holy Cities, their responsibility to their defense stands as does the truth of Mohammed's words. Should the Holy Cities of the Hedzaj come under assault though having acted peacably, the Zayyanid Caliphate and the Timurid Empire shall act to the best of their ability to defend the Holy Places and punish the aggressor.

VII. The Zayyanid Caliphate and the Timurid Empire shall allow each others' troops passage through each others' respective lands.

VII. The Zayyanid Caliphate and the Timurid Empire recognize the supremacy of Islam, and in the course of events, while acting together, they will do their best to ensure the freedom and propagation of said faith in making agreements with non-Islamic powers.

VIII. The Zayyanid Caliphate and the Timurid Empire do hereby swear before the grace of Allah never to wage war upon each other and to observe the terms of this pact at all times, even if other pacts come into conflict with this supercedant pact.

[I Killed Kenny]

one question, do I *need* to declare war on the spanish rebels? ( I allready did in the nat stats, but I would like to know if I did that, so I send that in my battle orders... ) also, can you tell me *if* puting a navy at the coast of a determinate place help the battle, or the siege or whatever?

 

[Bagricula]

Yes, you do need to DoW them. I believe you would do so in the Castillian court.

I don't believe navies help battles, but they can be used through events to help sieges of coastal cities by blockading. In short, as far as battle mechanics are concerned I believe the answer is no.

If you do have an event idea, even if a simple one, like having the ships scout the enemy movements ahead of the slower moving land army. Send them to Herr Eventmeister and if you then invest the seamil he might run an event that'll give you a temporary morale bonus, either nationally or for that particular battle.

Naturally, you're request will be looked on more favorably if you describe this scouting or naval support in posts.

Three Lakes Trade Endeavour


I: The Royal Crown of Sweden shall embark upon an endeavour with Pskov-Novgorod with the object of facilitating the movement of raw goods and trade product from Finland, pariticularly the interior to the major trading centres of Pskova and Novgorod. This shall be done by expanding upon and improving the natural waterways that already connect these regions. Doing this shall create a far more expiditious and less expensive route for Finnish goods to get to market, even during the winter when such pathes can be converted into sled routes along the frozen waterways.

II: Both parties agree to supply funds, equipment and manpower to the value of at least 8,000 roobls.

III: Both parties agree upon completion of the project to apply taxes and tarriffs upon goods moving through the waterways of no more than 3% of total value of goods transported, 4% in winter due to extra maintenance costs come the spring.

IV: The Trubetskoi organization shall set up a guild hall in Stockholm to oversee its operations within Finland and the entirety of the Swedish Kingdom. Likewise, any trading organization representing the Crown of Sweden is welcome to set up a similiar base of operations in the Peterhof district of Novgorod. The City of Novgorod shall match the cost for any such construction up to 2,000 roobls.

V: The organization above mentioned operating out of Novgorod shall be required for recrod keeping purposes to keep details of all its operations upon specially sealed paper that is available for purchase from the City of Novgorod as is standard for any such agreement.

VI: If at a future time either party sees fit to increase its portion of taxes or tarriffs upon the constructed route, that party is free to do so at a maximum increase or decrease in rates of up to 1% additional per three years.

[TheArchduke]

Sorry guys, gotta resign from Denmark, not enough ideas/time/possibilities..

 

[Mettermrck]

It is with regret that I must again resign from this game. I sincerely apologize for taking up a major and then dropping it a mere week later. My job has become real busy and I have not had a day off in the last two weeks. I'm simply too tired and foggy-minded to think straight, let alone write often and with quality. I do know that I'm not doing anybody any good with my poor play and will step away for a time until I am truly ready to come back, and probably as something smaller.
