Neptune's Pride

[Jaron]

The empire of Jaronesia, Eternal and Magnificent, offers the rogue state of Habbukistan peace on the following terms:

Return to pre-war borders
100 peso indemnity
an additional 200 to be paid over the next two turns

In addition, we will recognize you as godfather for young imperial prince Jaronas.

[Habbaku]

Return to pre-war borders

I now understand what Hitler was feeling in that overly used and famous scene from Downfall. 

[Agelastus]

Unless a grand coalition forms to oppose him he's going to win easily.

Hah, I tried to start one up, but his other neighbors seem to be either too busy, or have already sold out. 

Ulmont...

[Tonitrus]

Yeah, well...the point of the game is to conquer the other players...not much fun if we all just sit around in peace with white doves up our asses.

True. And I won't say that I didn't make mistakes in my first game either. It would have been nice if a general war had taken a couple of days longer to break out though.

By the way, how's the war with Berkut going?

[szmik]

Who are the name changers?

Ughian is szmik I think. Scythian Trade Alliance is Tamas maybe?

Oh crap. That is not good news for me...

we can always change things around 

[Berkut]

By the way, how's the war with Berkut going?

Not well. He takes back every star we even look funny at. He will be in my home system in a couple days, I am afraid.

So far, it's like chasing  truck-sized flies with a mostly ineffective swatter.

FFS, noob stuck between Fireblade, Jaron, Funkmonk and Berkut, i r fooked.

"Tonitrian swarms are buzzing with excitement, as the countdown to the Long Sleep begins only a week from now.  Tonitrians, like the old Earth Cicada, hibernate in deep space for thousands of years before once again emerging to form their nests.  And like generations past, the peace-loving Tonitrians again face attempted extermination from a brutal, prejudiced species.  Hive engineers are busy at work preparing their warships for limited automated functions, while the drones get ready to drift invisibly into the boundlessness of deep space.

Meanwhile, Hive diplomats have inked an agreement with the Funkmonkians...designating them as the inheritor of their soon-to-be vacant star systems...even as the valiant Hive defenders attempt to hold off the Berkutian menace long enough for the citizen drones to escape to safety. "

The Agelastan Imperium will fight on to the last ship and the last star! We shall never surrender, and as we die our blood stained lips will cry vengeance to the heavens, and pray that the accursed Ulmontine and Szmikians are soon made to know suffering by the greater Galactic powers to the East!! There will be a reckoning for your crimes!!!

We of the Agelastan Commonwealth look forward to sharing the stars peacefully with our neighbours. May we all prosper together.

Yup.  Coming about as soon as Berkut gets bored, I think.
