LOL

LoL you posted a cb of a fellow province of ours. Thats funny as heck. I don't much like him i've spoken to him online and hes a real pain. I just found it funny that you did that i don't much care waht u do though. Thanks for all the help with cbs and thieve ops you are truly an invaluable resource. I told Dragons heaven it was an accident so he doesn't get pissed. Thta was classic keep up the good work.

LOL. Hilarious. You think our kd banner would be enough to tip off those fools that we are not exactly in a negotiating mood. Maybe your next step should be to issue entirely unrealistic demands, say, for example, the dissolution of the nation of France and eight virgin sacrifices. Only then will our wrath be appeased.

On January 20th, YR7, we received this note...
To The Great King Kumbakarna
Hello there *Waves* I am Scott but you my dear king can call me err Scott hehe I write to you because I don't know if our king has opened up a line of communication (as he is well hmm not very active) you have just went into war with us after having lost a week long war which we shouldn't have went in the first place attacking us now will be easy and there is no point so in the spirit of the games can you cease this war until were ready to actually give you a fair run for it thanks for your time cheers
Signed, Sir fade to black the Sorcerer of smegerns end (17:13)

My Reponse:

You are not entitled to speak with me. You are not the monarch (in fact not even the monarch is entitled to speak with me, you can ask him about how he did that) and hold abosolutely no position of power. Peace is not an option. If this war is not conveneniant that is not my problem. If anythign that is an advantage. I would now like to point out how you have given me an excuse to continue the war when your intention was the opposite. Congratulations you have no diplomatic skills.

Your monarch has recieved a letter. Ask him to share it with you. Any message not presented by a new monarch will not be responded to.

hehehe i am, i must see that movie.

check this out. its a response to a message the monarch from 17:13 sent me.

January 15th, YR7 NiceTransilvania (17:13) invaded World of Arda (37:13) and captured 88 acres of land.
January 15th, YR7 harrisons land (17:13) invaded lalala (37:13) and captured 78 acres of land.
January 16th, YR7 Worlds Of Legends (17:13) invaded KillKingdom (37:13) and captured 126 acres of land.

That doesn't look like peace to me. you are in no position to negotiate a peace and you have insulted me. I am a monarch, a person that deserves respect. "we do not want war, peace talks" is no way to speak to me. You have failed at your attempt to establish a diploatmic relationship with me because you have disrespected me.
In addition because your kingdom is our SON I will decide on my own when this war ends. your input will have no part.

I bid you farewell as all future messages from you will be ignored. If you would like to end this war i suggest you resign your position to someone more capable and then AND ONLLY then will I even think of peace.

From what we see, this province has been attacked a little recently.

Remember, there are few rewards for attacking a badly hit province, as the easy to capture resources have already been taken.

You enter the Mystic Circle, the secret locale from which your wizards cast their spells. From here, you may issue orders to your magical minions to do anything within their power. Wizards have an amazing array of spells at their disposal, but can only cast so many at any time. Runes will be needed for your wizards to effectively do their magic.

i thoguht the deathstar came with the full crew. besides if i did have it i don't think it owuld take much to get the world to give me a couple of trillion dollars.

In other news it looks like theres gonna be a transit strike here in NYC starting tommorow. Yes you heard me. No subways and no buses. So nyc is about to become hopewell junction...now hopefully the bowling prices drop too.

That's kinda hilarious. Everything but the part about the children stepping on landmines. Way to use humor to educate us on social injustice, Paul. David Rees and Seanbaby would be proud.
Past the humor, and deforestation, and exploding little children, there's a lesson to be learned.

There's a restaurant nearby called Real Taco. Maybe only because of the name, but I just can't help thinking how that should be a team in La Liga. If Wing Designs can have a kit, why can't they get one?

See, I think that's a very fucked up thought you have. Hear me out. This is not like some piece of elecronics you find in the garbage near the curb. ("Hey man, I think someone is throwing away that Death Star. Yeah, I know it doesn't look complete, but with a little bit of tinkering, we MIGHT JUST BE ABLE to get it fully operational. Help me carry it.")
We're talking the most fucking deadly construction in human history, and you are concerned with whether you have the closest space for it. Now me, I look at my track record with things, and know I can't handle that responsibility. My fax sucks, and the Dell is going to hell. I have trouble keeping two out of four GameCube controllers in working order, so the last fucking thing in the world I want is a malfunctioning Death Star on my hands. And you may say that's just me, but you know it's not. This is not something you can take down to Chinatown to get fixed. Whack it with a bat? Nuh - uh. Sure, it may look awesome in the first couple of videos Andrew makes, ("That's not a moon. That's a Death Star. Take a shot on it, and do something cool.") but maintenence and repairs will be a bitch, and if your cell phone or cable modem was ever disconnected for lack of payment, then owning a death star may not be the thing the for you. Heck, one would hope, but you don't even know if that giga-munguous thing is spill-proof.
One glass of Pepsi in the wrong place, and we could all be done for.
If you ever get one, let me know. It may not do much good when that reactor core starts heating up like my apt in winter, but I still would want to move as far away from you as possible. Or buy an X-wing.

I was thinking of buying the death star too...can that enter the atmosphere or is it to massive?

dammit. How long does it take to steal a bike? I was really hoping it would be gone by now.

That's pretty sweet. I want to buy me one of those suckers, but I'm not sure where I could keep it.
