As much as the rising might of Mictlan worries the humble Atlantians, we can not fault their reasoning. We especially support the return of Marignonese lands to their rightful owner.

Hey - we can hear you. We're not the undeaf you know!

We're starting to get that feeling again, like you all think there's something different about us. We assure you we are just people. If you prick us do we not bleed?... Uh .. Hey there's nothing coming out...

Why are you looking at us like that?

[Alpine Joe]

The proud nation of Utgard wants the world to know that we were not the aggressor against Marignon, rather, they attacked us first, in a surprise attack. Any military actions against Marignon were retaliatory. Be that as it may, if Mictlan is itching for a fight, then they will get one. They are however, the clear aggressor, and should terrify nearby nations as much as ermor.

Now that is funny... Clearly Utgard is not the aggressor... it is in no way possible to be considered agressive when capturing and forting provinces adjacent to another player's capitol, right?

Anyway, the humble nation of Marignon offered terms that would have more than compensated for the loss of ONE PROVINCE - with no response.

I warned that retaliation would earn Utgard nothing but misery... Lidjis has fallen. I do not issue idle threats.

[Alpine Joe]

Terms? Utgard received no diplomatic envoy from Marignon, merely a silent attack upon our territory. Twist it however you wish, but Marignon struck the first blow. Utgard will strike the last, however.

[Raiel]

Methinks you'd better recheck your PMs... I sent one with a very generous compensation plan right after that attack. Water under the bridge now, though.

There's nothing at all terrifying about Mictlan. We are in harmony with nature, and just want to be left alone to worship our dear Bidet, without the threat of being overrun by a horde of zombies.

It is true our landholdings have increased somewhat substantially following the eviction of the Gath cannibals, who launched an attack without warning across our border. And as we chased Gath into the land of Marignon and Utgård, those lands too came under our stewardship. It was in the lands of Marginon that we discovered the terrible truth about the ferocious giants of Utgård. Utgård is either a slave or unwitting pawn of the Ermor menace. It's irrelevant either way. And Marignon must be returned to its former glory, for Marignon are champions of the light, and Ermor will wither before their righteousness.

Mictlan has made its intentions clear, and shown itself to be an honorable nation by giving Utgård fair warning, where none was required.

[Quitti]

Our offer to buy your slaves.. er, voluntary female workers still stands. We can offer up to con 4 items in exchange. We also are looking for a thistle mace, should someone have one laying around.

I'll postpone the hosting a bit (12h), due we've had some stales lately, to see if everyone gets their turns in, and to accomodate my coming weekend of weird sleeping rhythms

[Quitti]

No word from Jomon, and I was requested a postponement for 24h, so it is granted.

[Quitti]

Well, Jomon doesn't seem to be coming back either, so I'll look for a sub - we wouldn't want their neighbors to gain too much ground without resistance, would we?

That being said, if anyone knows a sub who might be willing to take on the position, ask them to PM me. I'll add time to the host if it seems we won't get a sub before the next host. If no-one steps forward in a few days, I'll get someone to turn him AI.

Friendship with Ermor...may already be too late...

Such lovely sentiments, unfortunately too much for the Jomonese emperor to take...
