Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game
Oh I must say, how in blazes did my entourage and I end up in such a savage and backwater place?
No matter we shall soon pacify our barbaric neighbors.

Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game
"Who disturbs my slumber"
"Uh... my lord..."
"Speak!"
"A thousand apologies ancient one, but..."
"SPEAK!"
"Yes, hmm.. about that matter of eternal paradise we promised.."
"This isn't it."
"..Yes, we know. We seem to have been somewhat wrong. Well, the good news is you still have your mind, am I rii..." *snap*
"So it seems I am awake after all these millenia once again. You."
*Cringing* "Me, my lord?"
"Did I stutter? Yes, you. You're the new high priest. You have 24 hours to tell me the situation."
"Uh, my lord? Didn't my predecessor make that, well, clear?"
(beat) "Ok, so I can't stare at you without eyes. Stop lollygagging and find out what's going on outside these walls! Twenty-four hours or I'll have you replaced. Do you understand me?"
"Y-y-yes my lord."
*muttering* "I swear they were more intelligent when they were alive."
---------
In the antechamber:
"Was he this grouchy in life?"
"You'd be grouchy too if you were woken up early from a Millenia long slumber to discover your were nothing but bones and the nubile virgins you'd been promised weren't there waiting for you. Now, unless you really want my job..."

Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game
Gents,
Thank you all for your cooperation regarding the tourism idea. I have opened the thread in the MP forums, kindly disregard its existence
Also, here's a picture of all the start locations, in case you haven't sorted them out for yourself. T'wouldn't be fair for the mapmaker alone to know them, of course:
Starts are in red.

Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game
"A telegram for you sir"
"what is it Jeeves"
"I believe it is from your Aunt Agatha, sir"
"Egad Jeeves! What do you think that blight on the landscape wants with me"
"Sir, perhaps you have not stayed abreast of current developments vis-a-vis, the empire. Your aunt Agatha is engaged to sir Fannon Cadsbury, the earl of Waycaster and her majesty's new secretary of defense"
"Egad Jeeves! My Aunt so close to the-how do you say- reigns of power. Bad luck for the old empire wot?"
"Perhaps sir. His lordship is rallying his dukes. He apparently plans a program of 'aggressive expansion' in regards to what her ladyship refers to as 'barbaric savages.'"
"Well I should think the savages of Borneo would be lucky to only face the might of the queen's finest. I have to meet with my Aunt Agatha."
"Indeed sir. Will that be all."
"Ah Jeeves...One of your morning concoctions would hit the spot right about now."
"I will prepare one immediately, sir."
And the stout fellow vanished in that way he does like a disapparating Hindu Fakir.

Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game
To the fine and gracious nobles and royalty of Brettonia,
While we of Tien C'hi do not wish to question your policies on the expansion of your kingdom, one of your generals has been found guilty of trespassing upon his Divine Majesty's sacred territory.
By Imperial decree the provinces of Pack Woods, Ionia and Ene Umrul are to be taken under the protection of the Imperial Bureaucracy of Tien C'hi. Imperial legal administrators and judges have seen fit to give you one month to remove your rabble of peasant "soldiers" from the vicinity of our glorious capitol before our own generals and military ministers are forced to do something... rash.
Best regards,
Chancellor Baogu, Minister of Foreign Policies

Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game
I announce that the nations of Bretonnia and R'lyeh have agreed on a non-agression pact with a three-turn warning period.

Re: Tophats - The Gentleman's Game
My Dear Vanheim,
As your brave and noble troops may have noticed the last province they had a tea party in was of course adjacent to my lofty little fortress. My elephants need this land to graze on and I do regard the lands as mine, my sincerest apologies if this is a bother for you.
I'll be sending a quaint little fellow named Urgek to see if your men have been good chaps and left it empty for my elephants and other assorted chaps.
Good day to you sir.
Arcoscephale.
