((bad things have happened before when posting everything in this thread. Characters suddenly knew things they were not supposed to which makes the game boring and frustrating. Then suddenly posts with counter-offers were made by those characters which should have had no knowledge of previous offers. I won't be calling names. If part of the game is intrigue and scheming then give us the room to do so!))
((Private Letter to Miguel Villanova))
It pleases me that you are considering my offer to fund your expedition to the Falklands. As Count of Sevilla I'd be more than happy to provide you with enough ships and resources to successfully colonize the Falklands in the name of my family. Let me know if there are still some details you wish to discuss or if you are ready to sign a contract with me.

I believe we have established what we need. I expect my payment to arrive at my farm within the month.

I am thrilled to hear that things are settled then. The funds will be delivered to you within a fortnight. The ships will be awaiting you at the Port of Sevilla. It is a pleasure doing business with you. ((I consider the treaty signed and the money delivered so that we won't have to go back and forth

((I personally prefer having private dealings done in-thread so I can keep track of them as GM (remember, we have a spymaster who has a chance of intercepting private messages so using PMs just defeats the purpose of that). I do understand the concern about people meta-gaming though. It is expected that people act as though they have no knowledge of private messages not addressed to them, but some people aren't that good at remaining unbiased. One option would be to put all private messages in spoilers to at least show that not everyone should look at the message, although that won't stop everyone. How about if from now on if anyone feels that another player is acting as though they have knowledge they shouldn't, they can PM me and I will personally address the issue. I want to make sure that things run smoothly and we don't end up with people ruining someone else's fun. ))

*At the Villanova Farm* ((Private))
"Whoa! Look at this bag full of money!"
"Don't touch that that money is for the farm... oh, Pablo, I am so sorry for that outburst"
"It's okay. Papa where did all this money come from?"
"I got it from my new job as colonist for the King"
"But why so much?"
I will tell you when you are older Pablo."
*Pablo gained the trait trusting*
"Will you come back from your first trip?"
"I do not know, for the farm's sake, and my other children, I hope so"
"What was that?"
"Nothing, go to bed."
((Meant to introduce Miguel 4 year old son and Character development. Italics are Miguel and Bold is his son Pablo
Pablo will not appear unless someone else's character visit the farm.))

((Ah, I saw it more as roleplay, but if our Pope officially wants to excommunicate Tuscany, he can request that. He should just be aware Aragon will end up taking the full blame for that and not the Papal State. As for not allying the Papal State, maybe people don't want to go over the relations limit or ally a dying power?
Or maybe they're all secret Lucrezians! ))((Colonists don't have the prerogative to declare war when someone else beats us to a colonial region, although it would be amusing if they could.

I would also like to ask if you could keep track of the provinces in which we make major discoveries. Shouldn't be too many (if there are any at all), and it would make sense to for example name the capital of the province where Cibola was after the city.
And how come we missed Potosí? The mountain of silver, men!))

((It should say the province in the event, I would hope, since I wasn't really keeping track of the provinces the conquistadors were visiting. Hard to tell who was visiting what with two conquistadors on the loose. If people want to name provinces after the discoveries, they can just make note of the provinces mentioned in the event and rename it once they decide to fund a colony there.))
((You still get to vote. Since you are from Aragon and now have an incredibly powerful position, you have even more influence over Aragonese politics.))
