Neo Xekinima - LA game of Mod nations (finished)

[Tuidjy]

We are greatly worried that the perennial ennui has once again gotten hold of
our elven friends. For two months now, no orders have been given to the troops
operating behind Jomon's lines and many of the elven raiders have been cornered
and slain by the demons' thralls. Ulm is distraught by the decline of Sylvania's
fortunes, and would like to hear from the elven leadership.

[Tuidjy]

For a long time, the Priesthood of Ulm has been deeply suspicious of the
Vaettiheim confederacy. While proclaiming their love of freedom and racial
harmony, they were conducting a propaganda campaign against Ulm. Their obvious
attempts to turn the nations of the Light against each other were vile and
deceitful, but also clumsy and ineffective. Unwilling to risk the lives of our
citizens, the Priesthood chose not to take action.

But early this morning, we received a message from one of our faithful, who had
been sent to observe the goblins in their homelands. The brave soul had followed
the rumors of blood hunting to a forest in the far northeast, and risked his life
to approach a suspicious group of old women. He had barely gotten a good look at
them when a huge pack of wolves discovered him, and attacked.

We are sorry to say that he was eventually ran down and slain, but not before
managing to release one of his messenger pigeons. He reports that the Vaetti
hags had abducted no less than ten human girls from their families, and had
prepared them for use in blood sacrifice. Even more damning, a goblin lord was
seen amongst the wolves, proving that the cultists were operating with the full
support of Vaettiheim's rulers. It's clear what place the Vaetti vision of racial
harmony has reserved for the rest of us - that of slaves and blood sacrifices.

The vile creatures of Vaettiheim have been declared an abomination upon Lady Elena.

[Sombre]

Gee what a surprise. Interesting that it should coincide exactly with your attack force reaching my borders ;]

Well come then Ulmish conquerors, let's be having you.

[Tuidjy]

As a matter of fact, until we received word of your unholy practices, we were only
drafting a proclamation that was warning you to stay away from the lands still held
by the demons of Jomon. If you were to take some time away from tormenting little
girls, and were to instead review the reports of your own patrollers you might
notice that your hags were indeed observed by one of our men.

Do you think that we would have picked today to start a war with an enemy that our
forces cannot really reach, and especially at a time when we are already engaged
on two separate fronts? The only reason that the might of Ulm is now being
marshalled against Vaettiheim is the fact that you were caught preying on the
defenseless, and that your involvement with blood magic has been proven beyond doubt.

"All those serving Jomon have been declared an abomination unto Lady Elena!" (New Jomon 20/08/2007)

"The vile creatures of Vaettiheim have been declared an abomination upon Lady Elena." (Vaettiheim 29/08/2007)

I am not in game, but can I start taking bets on next abomination? Is Lady Elena related to Nuggan ?

[lch]

Talk like that will get you declared an abomination upon Lady Elena in no time.

By the time I'd read that declaration (oh so unexpected as it was, hah) you'd already attacked me and taken a province. You will continue to do so every turn, so I have no idea where you're getting 'cannot really reach'.

Sure we're using blood magic. And because you've declared war and been directly involved in the destruction of 3 civilisations we're going to be flaying and butchering a whole lot more innocent girls just getting the firepower to defend ourselves. So congratulations on that score ;]

But honestly the vaetti girls come willingly. Our mages need to spend time finding the maidens with the right kind of blood, it's true, but this is more like a talent contest. They volunteer. The unrest is merely a result of jealous families wreaking havoc when their 'little angel' isn't picked for the national honour of giving her life to defend our culture against tyrants like you.

The facts speak for themselves. We have initiated no wars and at all times merely defended ourselves. You have started 4 wars and invaded 4 other nations - usually those vastly weaker than yourselves. In the divine history of the multiverse, your Elena will be remembered as nothing more than a schoolyard bully. Provided you Ulmish even know how to write.

[Morkilus]

Actually, Jomon started the war with Vaettiheim and Sylvania was there to "defend the forestdwellers". With no help from the goblins, we were forced to recruit help from the Lady Elena.

The Dwarves were unfortunately subsumed under Ulmish rule due to their drunken incompetent leadership and a "goddess" who cared more about "paths" than a proper resource infrastructure.

We cannot comment on the war with the vampires and the Ulmish beef with Sylvania's magic, since Sylvania has has strict "Don't ask, don't tell" policy with blood magic.

[HoneyBadger]

To be fair, I picked the Goddess's paths.

Although I was going for a pure, chaste bringer of peace and wisdom, who would use her paths wisely, to benefit all dwarfkind with new sources of gems, so that we could feed the hungry, starving children of all nations, equally

...ok, yes, we were planning to feed the hungry, starving children to demons in return for an unbeatable war-machine, but let me ask you this, would they have gone hungry in the belly of an imp?

Is that not shelter, is that not warmth? is that not-dare I say it-love? A love the likes of which you shall never understand? Can your logic explain that away? Where's your intolerant society now? Where are all your dollars when
all you really need is a hug?

Explain that one, Santa! Explain that to your little elves and magic reindeer! In hell! that's where!
