A Touch of Nostalgia

[Holby]

 If you are reading this letter this means you have been invited to join an elite group of players in an elite clan. This is a clan that will reign in the next expansion. It will consist of ten members. Each member for the top ten spots. We will have no more no less. We will have no allies. But we allow peace treaties with our great clan. The name is Roman Empire or Roman Emperor's. Tag is ROME or Rome. This is yet to be voted on. This clan is a democracy. Meaning everything in this clan is to be voted on. We will not support a emperor with a huge lead over the rest of the game. Meaning if a member in our clan has 100k land and the rest of us 25k. This is mainly because it is more likely for someone to attack and break that person therefor losing our grasp of the top ten. We shall keep close ranks with eachother to ensure equality and domination of the game. Our names will be carefully chosen within the realm of Roman Emperor's. For example. Mine is Titus. The leader of this clan is me for now. Meaning once the clan is set up and the forum is up we will then vote for the leader of the clan. Once we have control of the game we will elect an emperor by sending food to him to raise his networth enough to be rank number one. Each member must send his portion of food. As i said everything will be voted on. Diplomats and everything. It will not be a poll, but a open ballet on our forum. Wether you decide on joining or not please keep this a secret as it is crucial for me and others joining. To join you must reply to this message with a name of a roman emperor as your warlord name.

Chosen names....
Ereptor = Titus
Deadeye = Domitian
Windhounds = Nero
Hexans/John = ?
Beatles = Marcus Aurielius
Merc = ?
Peace = ?
Kilk = ?
Holbs = ?
Nick = ?

Note: the following have not yet been asked. holby, peace nick and kilk.

~Leader in offensive points in the First Age
~Emperor of the Dark Age

 Hehe, his mistake was not inviting me.


Wolf Bite

[Morzan]

 He picked people who didn't trust each other. That was a problem. But the democracy worked, and voting was a cool idea.  

[The Lady Shael]

 ^_^

I still have the chat with Beatles when I warned him that he only had 16 acres of land left, and when he let me be a ROME spy. But...I can't seem to find it. *scratches head* I'll look for it later, and post it when I find it.  

[Morzan]

 And they rules for a week or so before Holby decided to tratior. Hehe. And they were all watching Domitian to see if he would tratior, and Holby went right in and did the tratior part. Hehe. But it was a fun plot.  

[wolf bite]

 I don?t think Holby was the trader, it was Ereptor. He had agreed that everything would be by vote, a full democracy.  But then he decided to post a bounty on a player by his own decision.  He did not know that the person he posted a bounty on was a silent partner of Rome.  This partner had made no attacks on Rome and was in fact a protectorate that was sending food and money to Rome.  The player made many peas to Ereptor to reconsider.  Holby asked Ereptor to put it to vote.  Ereptor refused.  When the protectorate was massively attacked, mostly by Dead Eye, it wiped out Holby?s army.  Ereptor should have never placed a bounty on me without checking with his second in command at least. It was I that was forced to retaliate, with the help of Holby, for the war crimes of Ereptor the Dictator.

[Nohcnonk]

 Interesting.

[Juby (Tercios)]

 Bah, I wish there was a great plot going on now, and I wish I had been more apart of that plot, I was a decidedly green member of Loren at the time.

[The Lady Shael]

 Surely, Nohc, you can say something more enlightening and awe-inspiring than "Interesting".

Found it. You can see the poll he posted at the ROME forums at the bottom. I used to know the URL to that board, but I doubt I could find it now, if it wasn't deleted.

The Lady Shael: From Battalion of Rebels (#30)
Darn, I got someone else to help, I just hope it's enough. We and my friend have used 550 turns on him.
laddiebuck1234: :D:D:D
The Lady Shael: From Battalion of Rebels (#30)
Hehe, he only started with a bit more than 5k land, and it takes turns. I'd like to know what they'll do after they find out what we did lol

laddiebuck1234: Gooooood.
The Lady Shael: From Battalion of Rebels (#30)
They just mass rats and attack badly
BTW, he just got on, he'll be furious *grins*
We'll prob get killed

laddiebuck1234: Hmm.. scout.
laddiebuck1234: Lol
laddiebuck1234: No, we don't mass rats.
laddiebuck1234: Merc masses rats.
The Lady Shael: Which explains why he broke through me...hmm...
laddiebuck1234: You guys do the same.
laddiebuck1234: I had 8k gguards.
laddiebuck1234: Some dude massed the 4m rats to break me.
The Lady Shael: lol
The Lady Shael: Here's my messages, in order:
The Lady Shael: To Battalion of Rebels (#30)
Whoa. You got him down good, didn't you? I would, but I can't. He's, ah, a semi-friend.

laddiebuck1234: lol
The Lady Shael: To Battalion of Rebels (#30)
You guys did a good job. It'd be interesting to see if you could take down the rest.

laddiebuck1234: LOL
laddiebuck1234: Whass a 'semi-friend'?
The Lady Shael: To Battalion of Rebels (#30)
Heh, yeah. Only some of them seem to be truthfully skilled.

The Lady Shael: To Battalion of Rebels (#30)

laddiebuck1234: Only a few of us?
The Lady Shael: Hey, I was just playing along...
laddiebuck1234: What's a 'semi-friend'?
laddiebuck1234: <.<
The Lady Shael: Sort of like a friend...
The Lady Shael: You realize I couldn't say you're a good friend?
The Lady Shael: Because then they'd obviously know I have connections with ROME?
laddiebuck1234: Well
laddiebuck1234: Guppoint.\
laddiebuck1234: :D
laddiebuck1234: I don't like good points.
laddiebuck1234: Unless they're mine.
The Lady Shael: I'm surprised they haven't got it through their thick skulls that I know who you are.
The Lady Shael: Heh.
laddiebuck1234: Heh
laddiebuck1234: Ip-watcher.
The Lady Shael: Heh.

laddiebuck1234: Wow
laddiebuck1234: You're good.
laddiebuck1234: OK
The Lady Shael: I just mentioned that earlier...
The Lady Shael: In this IM...
The Lady Shael: Here:
The Lady Shael: The Lady Shael: Maybe in return you could ask the Merc not to use me as a land source.
The Lady Shael: ^_^
The Lady Shael: Keep your eyes open.
laddiebuck1234: Would you be interested to know.
laddiebuck1234: That as we speak I am typing up the text on the forums for an appeal like that?
laddiebuck1234: And have been for the last 100 minutes?
The Lady Shael: An appeal for...?
laddiebuck1234: For ceasing attacks, giving you forum access, and aid packages.
The Lady Shael: Wow. Well, yes, that is interesting...
The Lady Shael: Don't make them feel obligated to give aid packages though...
laddiebuck1234 wants to directly connect.
laddiebuck1234 cancels request; no connection was made. (Note: For best results, you and your buddy should use the latest version of AIM.).
laddiebuck1234: Honorary Membership, Think on it.

[ Edit ] [ Delete ]
Should we...
Let Shael join the forums, and be an external member of the clan.
Let her know a bit more about us cease attacks.
Cease attacks on her and occasionally aid her.
Cease attacks on her.
Not tell her anything and keep hitting her. (I'm a pig.)

Well, as you may or may not know, there are several things about Shael which would merit forum access, and which could actually /benefit/ us. I realize most of you don't like or respect her, though. So let me outline some brief facts.
a. she knows almost exactly who all of us are, with no exception (by our forum IPs), even the merc.
b. she just saved my life on RWL reg, I was down to 16 acres and she distracted Mikalae who was hitting me and IMed me urgently. I scouted 89 turns, so it was OK. I'm inclined to be grateful.
c. She is, if not that skilled, trustworthy and intelligent. She keeps her eyes open, she knows a lot about members, all in all, she's a valuable asset on our side.
d. She /wants/ to join us or help us. If she'd been asked earlier, she would have joined the clan itself.

Shael is Daughters of Delor (#6) on RWL Regular. So, please consider this.

You'd be surprised how many chose the last one.

[Nohcnonk]

 Beatles is such a nice guy. ;)

Well, it /is/ interesting, Shael... Are you saying otherwise? :P  

[Holby]

 heheh. I don't think I trusted you, Shael ;) But I could be wrong :D
Bring Tania in, she always has something to say about ROME.

[windhound]

 ^_^
Rome was kewleth..  

*ponders*
aarg..  I cant remember..  Wolf, what horde were you?

*nods*
quite interresting..

[wolf bite]

 Hummm, I think I was Right Arm.  There was a bug in the new game and my net would jump everytime someone attacked me and Holby's armies came to protect me.  So even though I had made no attacks, Ereptor thought I was hording great resources.

I was sending aid to Holby and he was sending it out to the rest of Rome.

Erepter refused to repond to Right Arm's letters, so after a week of being attacked, I took down Rome. Holby was also upset that Erepter would not take off the bounty and jumpped in too.  That was the fall of Rome.

It was not, I say again, was not, a plan of Holby to back stab the clan. He did the right thing at the right time.


Wolf Bite

[Morzan]

 Wow. That was unknown to me, I knew not of Wolf Bite and his attacking being unfair. And I was...ah lets say deep into the mud of it all. This is quite new to me. If this was known to me, I would have never said and thought some things. My opions have changed quite a bit now.  

[RazorClaw]

 Ah, but a clan that does not trust each other is less likely to rebel against the leader, methinks.
