Mupdate Session 14; in which everybody jumps the Empire
the year is 1170:
Fault in map: most of Ireland is French
The German Empire is wracked by civil war, subbed by Golle, without support. The Danes, French, Greeks, North Germans and Andalusians see their chance to take the behemoth and attack! Wast armies march across ravaged Europe, everywhere the Imperial Germans are pushed back. Northern Germany and Bohemia are entirely lost! Spain falls to the Moslems! Italy is now wholly occupied by the Greeks!
But the two mightiest nations, the Caliphate and Russia, marshaling almost a million men between them, have yet to move. Will they allow the Empire to get dragged into the depths of history without lifting a finger, or are they dictating the fate of the Europeans to their liking as we speak?
Notable is the Emir of Toledo unilaterally advancing the lines between Moslem and Christian once again, and Rome falling into Orthodox hands. Truly it is a dark age for the Papists!

We thank the Bishops of Rome for taking care of the city in our absence. However, now the Popes have done their job; the Popes can go. After all, an emperor who does not hold Rome... is only another rebel.
The Great Fiat of 1170
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
The Great Lords of Alexandria and Novgorod have in their great Wisdom and Benevolence seen the turmoil and suffering of the European peoples stemming from their wars and strife. Therefore they call now upon the lesser lords of Europe to sign a Peace of God, so that peace may yet reign in their lands.
They have decided in their justice thus:
With the fate of Naples being the purview of Russia
Also Russia wants that one province in Russia
Let it be know that any man who stands against Peace shall know War, and be trampled under the boots of the innumerable legions of South and East. His realm sundered utterly and his family hunted down to the last child. In this our word is Iron.
Peace in our time,or else.

Which province is that?
Also, yay peace!
Thats not a peace, but third party suggestion, allready shotdown by the belligrents in the other forum
hmm.. And is it just a coincidence, that Golle is the one subbing? -You are not just doing this to annoy Golle, are you?
Will Egypt and Russia stand true to their word and release a battle of huge epicness over our CK map ?Peace in our time,or else.
Or will they cower like chickens as soon as they can not have their will without lifting a finger ?
See the answer to that next week !

That peace seems to give huge gains to Toledo, good gains to Loire and Lotaringa, but nothing to the Danes - and I can't really see if the Greeks get anything either. I would have expected all parties to gain something from a War (GB) like this....
You seem confused as to the "or else" clause of the text. This is not a suggestion. It is a Fiat by the two reigning superpowers of this game. The very ground trembles and quakes at the thought of our advance. There will be no pardon, no quarter, for those who oppose peace.Golle said:
The disunited Forces of the grand Gangbang:
Byzantion: 160.000
Lotharinga: 250.000
Loire: 105.000
Denmark: 195.000
Toledo: 35.000
The victim:
Germany: 65.000
The peacebringers:
Russia and the Caliphate: One. Million. Men.
Denmark has voiced his neutrality for the future, Byzantion is a sideshow and sandwiched between Russia and the Caliphate, Toledo is a good vassal of the Caliphate. And so are unlikely to wish to, and have little to gain from, facing our wrath. Loire has been quiet. Lotharinga is puffing out his chest as best he can.
The Caliphate wishes for a fair and reasonable peace that both recognizes the war efforts of those involved whilst simultaneously not overly rewarding people for jumping defenceless players.
These are demands of peace, not actual peace. It looks like we might have to enforce it on certain belligerents... Toledos gains are in line with previously promised handovers that Germany has been slow to deliver. Lotharinga loses slightly from giving up all those scattered holdings in s.Europe, but gains considerably compared to a few sessions ago. The Danes only wanted two provs, which they got. The Greeks hold Rome/Naples, but have angered the powers that be...

how can you ever even suggest such thing
But during the session, I did my best to keep Germany intact during rather nasty civil war, so considerated how good behaviour it is for hyenas to assault bleeding reindeer, I think Rudolf in this case has rigth to annoy the hyenas little bit. (for that purpose Im currently rallying Blayne to take the german position if Fasquardon resigns completely.)
Please, Golle, don't make it harder for the Power-Block to save Germany!
And this is early days of a mega-campaign..Do you really wan't the campaign to be reduced to 2 players with a million men?

Yea Golle, hush!Please, Golle, don't make it harder for the Power-Block to save Germany!
In our defence we spent half the negotiations to save Germany making half veiled threats against each other should the other try something funny... A permanent coalition it is not. :s
Bah, there isen't really a that much will to save Germany, those who wants to "save" it makes peaceoffers where Germany is reduced twice what it was. So I will make it hard for everyone, nerfing someone's country should be easy by any standarts...Gangbangs are bad, so everyone participating, advocating, supporting or allowing them should feel bad of themselves
I play 30k small princedom, you don't need to lecture me about countrysizes...I'm just subbing Fasq in these after-session moralisations festivities, I will play the role of the victim untill Fasq arrives to take his proper postion.

So cower like chickens it is then, thought as much.
Ask my poker buddies if they have ever seen me bluff.
