Below is the text of Neithan reply to my query as to WHY we are at war with ITALY.... Start at the bottom, and work your way up.... I haven't edited, so it takes a short while to begin - be just like you were there
Liesell
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:19
WHat a great story!
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:18
lol
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:18
yes, the smellypant alliance has good resources on hand
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:18
AH - aka the Git from many scrolls before...
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:18
except now, the neighboring lord is a coward uns and hides his resources where I can't hit them
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:18
and now we all get to play?
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:17
And yet, to this day, the battle between the two lords rages on
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:17
'died in a massive display of turd-encrusted pants'
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:16
When the neighboring lord arrived at the castle, his troops died in a massive display of force
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:16
*YAY the dragon woo hooo*
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:15
he spoke the words of summoning, and a dragon appeared to lend her aid in whisking his army ahead of the invading forces
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:15
but, what the neighboring lord didn't know was that the foolish lord had a friend
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:14
sneaky....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:14
That neighboring lord knew he couldn't target the foolish lord, so he went after another castle which flew the foolish lord's same banner
Lord Oden says to the alliance: 4:13
*yay in the story*
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:13
Thus Lord Od-e-n heard of this request, written in meek and pleading words
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:12
loll
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:12
One of these messages somehow ended up in the hands of someone who misspelled his name on the application for lordship
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:11
he sent out messages, asking others to help him stop this vicious lord from attacking him
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:11
The lord, infuriated by the sneak attack and ignorance of this neighoring lord, continued to attack him. The lord, seeing such determined and vicious attacks coming at him, switched his bold words
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:10
he farted in your general direction, then
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:10
In response, a message came to him. "I laugh at you, this castle means nothing to me. I live in another domain where I am mightier still than you, this is but a refuge for me to try out new tactics"
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:10
not a quicl learner, this neighbour...
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:09
oh good...
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:09
did it go well??
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:09
Once more, the neighboring lord was brought to his knees
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:09
Enraged, the lord ordered an attack to storm the castle
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:08
The next day, forces marching to wipe out an infestation of mutant barbarians saw that the castle now flew the banner of Smellypants
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:08
So he retreated once more, telling the lord in a message that he would be watched, and attacked if he ever tried such foolish things again
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:07
hmmmmm....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:07
There were no banners flying the flag of the smellypants alliance
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:07
So then, he marched on the castles once more, finding no resistance from the neighboring lord who had launched this attack on him
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:07
turd surrounded by pants lolllll
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:06
omg - noooooooooooooo! (in amzed low conspiratorial, gossiping-over-back-fence-type voice)
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:06
There lay the emblem, a turd surrounded by a pants, the mark of the Smellypants alliance
Lord Oden says to the alliance: 4:05
<-----is waiting for when the dirty ITALY alliance begged for help from the handsome and rugged VC at TITANS lol
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:05
So the Foolish Lord asked to see the armor of the bodies of the dead soliders on his fields
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:05
aha....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:05
<--Foolish Lord
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:05
but out past hte fields, battle took place. When the lor awoke, he received messages that they had been attacked again
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:04
which he??
Lord Oden says to the alliance: 4:04
<----would get the phython quote
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:04
Then, one night, he again was troubled in his sleep. His knights did not wake him, fearing the wrath of their lord
Lord hungrymyers says to the alliance: 4:04
God, you know how to tell a story Neith...
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:03
Other castles were targeted, and smashed open to be looted, waging war until they would beg for mercy
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:03
interesting.....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:03
Then, one of their leaders, a local lord, finally lowered his banner and after one more attack on him, he was left alone when he sent a message asking "why do you attack me when I no longer fly the Smellypant banner?"
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:02
They would taunt the foolish lord, and he would respond with civil but stern words
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 19:01
(theres a python quote there, but no-one would get it)
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:01
The war raged on, with messages being delivered back and forth
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 4:00
But peace was not achieved, instead they would taunt from the sacred churches, where not even the foulest of the foul would dare shed blood
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:59
For the complete loss of the Ladies' army, he decided to loot the castle constantly, storming it and scaring the populace into demanding a truce with such fearsome warriors
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:59
(hopes there will be a dragon - all good stories have a dragon somewhere)
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:58
oh no....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:58
it did not end there....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:58
Castles were stormed, loot was pillaged to avenge the fallen, to exact a terrible price to teach Smellypants a lesson
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:58
!
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:57
he launched attacks on those closest to him, and fortune was with him for they were the leaders of the alliance as well
You are # 3 of 5 to help Lady elfy!
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:57
And thusly set smellypants legions to 'attttaaaaaack' ?
Lord hungrymyers says to the alliance: 3:57
1 of 5
Lady elfy says to the alliance: 3:57
I need help building my lv. 9 Mine.
Click here to reduce the build time.
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:56
He knew war was afoot, and called in units from other castles he owned, preparing to march on the offensive since he knew that Smellypants had friends who flew the same banner only some short distance away
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:56
pity the fool....
Lord hungrymyers says to the alliance: 3:56
im already giving them a spanking, got 6mil food of one guys with about 2mil wood/ore/stone! :-) the system works
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:56
smellypants didn't scout.....
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:55
PHEW...
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:55
while he lost many troops who were caught unprepared, the attacking army was defeated soundly
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:55
*winces*
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:55
he rushed to get his messages and see what had befallen
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:55
He would later awaken to the screams and shouts of battle, hooves pounding, and bows twaning as arrows flew from the castle ramparts
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:54
oh dear.....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:54
He didn't know that the attack would soon be coming
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:54
The foolish lord who had started it all off was tired, having worked too hard already, and had already seen that he was too far to be of any use
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:54
apart form the grounded lord....
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:53
ooooh, this is building up to a happy ending....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:53
No, the flying castle was a different lord
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:53
so he was defenseless when the Ported lord landed next to his castles and marched in to take everything
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:53
oooooh - and was this one the flying one???
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:53
Lord Smellypants had already sent off his army to march against the one who had scouted him first and told of his stockpile
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:52
(mind you, archers soon to be over-rated loll)
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:52
Smelly-pants had friends?
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:52
Another leader, used the magiks of Merlin to have his entire castle lifted into the sky and moved with the magical mists of Avalon itself to land next to this terrible tyrant
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:52
Oh No!
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:51
Lady Laith sent her archers, and never saw but the knight who led them return, armor smeared with blood and helm shattered
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:50
so smelly-pants doesn't deserve it
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:50
Lords lined up to volunteer their armies, and Ladies were eager to prove the might of their brave soldiers
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:49
The leaders of the alliance gathered quickly, deciding what to do. Such massive stores of food had not been heard of in the realm before. it was like a treasure trove of supplies
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:48
Moral dilemma, eh?
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:48
<-----hanging on to every word....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:48
They came back telling of a massive stockpile of food stores. It overflowed the storehouse and was piled up in neat squares all across the castle and outlying fields. Millions upon millions of food! (100+mil food)
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:46
lolll
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:46
the scouts came back with jubilant news! While many of them died in the attempts (from frostbite crossing those lv9 mountains)
Lord Oden says to the alliance: 3:46
<-----loves story time
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:46
He sent many scouts, knowing some would likely die on the valiant trip. They kissed their families goodbye, and the lord promised a hefty chest of gold to the families of those that may die
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:45
with scouts, eh?
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:45
So, a foolish leader, feeling quite bored, decided to investigate his castles
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:44
eeewwwwwwwwwww...
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:44
Kind of like a cross between putrid apples, unwashed hobos, and burnt tires
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:43
they are quite laughable...
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:43
He was from a bigger alliance, and laughed at our attempts to talk to him (even using language translator programs)
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:43
smelly? like what?
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:43
When he joined up with them, there was a neighbor who decided to storm the walls and take what was in there. This lord was a cruel and terrible lord, smelly too
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:42
Smart!
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:42
He was growing in might and power, and decided to join up with a growing alliance
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:42
deary me, silly noodle...
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:41
He had a little castle, with brown walls made of wood because he couldn't quarry enough stone to put up proper stone walls
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:41
ah, snoodle...
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:41
GAH. 'family' I prefer 'collection of like minded nutters with too much time on their hands'
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:41
Once upon a time, there was a Scotsman who went by Softasanoodle (why is another story he can tell)
Lord Oden says to the alliance: 3:40
lol
Lord Oden says to the alliance: 3:40
we all heard them
Lord Oden says to the alliance: 3:40
Liesell, ITALY alliance said bad thing about your family
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:40
Okay, story time, just for Liesell
Lord hungrymyers says to the alliance: 3:40
i know, :-)
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:40
They like to hide stuff in nearby wilds. If you don't find anything there, but see a ton of resource buildings, then wait for them to go offline
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:40
I still want to know WHY. I yamn't george w - I like some facts before I smite
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:39
They aren't inactive, so watch it
Lord hungrymyers says to the alliance: 3:39
i have quite a few of them close to me!
Lord hungrymyers says to the alliance: 3:39
Does that mean i can spank them??? :-)
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:39
I set them to hostile, they returned the favor
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:38
ITALY
Lord hungrymyers says to the alliance: 3:38
who has??
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:38
I'm soooo happy now
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:37
YAY! They set us to hostile too!
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:36
Oh wow, that would have driven me nuts too
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:35
that sucks so bad - I had an indonesian housemate for a numer of years - and she ALWAYS smote me at scrabble, was infuriating!!!!!
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:34
roflmao
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:34
bested by someone who speaks English as a second language....
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:34
I don't think Oden found it too fun
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:34
that was fun....
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:33
yep!
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:32
don't you remember my horrible poetry I unleashe on Oden?
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:32
I'm a wannabe writer
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:32
Oh I like to type
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:31
hmmm depends on how much typing you feel like doing...
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:31
Or a short one?
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:30
You wanna hear a long story?
Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:30

Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:29

Lord Neithan says to the alliance: 3:29
Your alliance diplomacy is set to Hostile against ITALY
Lady Liesell says to the alliance: 18:28
