Well, it seems like pirates wander in the Mediterrannean as well. Britain is in no war at the moment, still our fleet was attacked. HMS Brittania took care of those, sustaining only minor damage. Some way to commit suicide, I should say.

[ooc] Thanks for starting my GA, dumbass. [/ooc]

We would like to ask France to remove the two ships, that block the passage near Palmi. It would be a huge waste of time to have to go around Sicily.


September 1803 to Chrisius.

EDIT: Updated the pic with a plan to keep the blockade, while letting the British fleet through.

what is with the attitude

they are french ships, frigates, in french water guarding a french passage in a war

you have never posted a picture / map of your intended path, never not once

and for all I know you are just going to run through and leave the passage open

I have them there to protect interests off mine in the Med

You have known for quite some time that the french navy has interests here in our own water

so Sir, you are the interloper, and your arrogance will not be tolerated

please clearly show your intent if I am to move my vessels
show how you will stop any foriegn vessels making use of this passage while I move for you

and explain why you can not go around

This can be worked out. There are two tiles that make it possible to block the passage. So, if France leaves it open, one British ship can be left there to block it, so that you are sure it remains so for any other nation. Since I have the turn right after you, no other nation could pass. EDIT: I updated the pic I posted previously, to show how this would work.


Oh, and by the way. The Spanish have blocked the remaining passages, even though they knew the destination of the British fleet.

Interesting that you so well quote the diplomatic screen in this post, yet just before you were on about privateers... you do like to have it both ways. adding to this if you had seen the damage that the ottomen fleets caused, then you would understabd why we stand guard, and have bloickaded our inner coasts for protection. I would have thought that you of all the naval nations could have so easily understood these actions


I hear you talk of the spanish while talking to me, you should be aware that I am not responsible for any deals you have with them. I actaully remember not being overly entusiastic of you coming south, especiall now that you have proven that this is not even a full fleet, just a small squadron of your so called mighty flotilla


so here is a map of the passage, which you talk about but do not provide yet again.Ok here goes my idea to keep the passage blocked and to allow you on with whatever your mission really is:

- so my ships will pull back to the yellow circle
- I expect your ships to pull into this red circle next turn,
- my ships will slip then into the green circle,
- yours off into the distnce,
- then the following turn mine will again take up their position in the red circle.

I do not require that you stay to guard my waters

I am curious what payment you are will to offer for all of this

No nation is in a state of war, right? So what is your point about insisting on a war going on?

I have updated the pic up in the thread in this post. Just refresh the page, and you will see it. I proposes the same solution you describe here.

You will not have to worry about Ottoman pirates ever again. We managed the ones in the Atlantic, we will surely manage the ones in "your" lake.

So, taking care of the pirates is not enough? Forget it, then.


King Chrisius! Since this has been paid for, I expect your ships to move out of the way, and let my fleet pass between Murcia, and Salamanca.

1 gold in your treasury is the equivilant to a standard bag of gold

do you have a few bags with the commodore of your squadron?

I would have thought so

If not dispatch a messenger from your Treasury in London to the French Embassy in the same City

To oversee the developments in the Ottoman empire. Their reported troop movements are suspicious. You know of the pirates - they will be dealt with as well.

Our deal was to open the Gibraltar straits which we have complied with !!!

Expect what you like but you will be waiting a very long time!

I see the French have decided to allow you passage, well that is for their leaders to decide I for one say you can take your feeble demands and stick em in yer pipe

In future you would do well to approach the Spanish court with more reverence when you wish to make a request!!
