PDRF Official Statement.
The refusal of the vile Inca dogs to so much as offer an apology is an affront to French honour but the bombardment of my Peacekeeping troops was beyond toleration! Chimbote, along with Paramunga1 therefore have today joined the happy community of the French Republic. The unfortunate people there will soon be provided of proper schooling that they can learn the language of their adopted Motherland.
General Keygen, I fear myself unable to despatch a SotL to collect my people from the Les Palais expedition as you sank the only one in the French Navy's West Coast Fleet. However, I cannot think that an unescorted Transport Ship can cause you any real concern, so deep within Welsh waters, as it could be sent to the bottom at will and you could not think me able to destroy Wales with but Five Units!
Beloved Tomas, I am pleased that our borders have now been settled to mutual satisfaction. France has always regarded maintaining peace and goodwill with all her neighbours as of the greatest importance and that has not changed with the arrival of democracy.
Noble Xenophon, I am glad to see that you are indeed the man of honour I always felt, in my heart, you to be. You may be assured that France will in no way seek to use the temporary Regency in Athens to her advantage. May I take this opportunity to wish you a happy and relaxing vacation away from the corridors of power. Indeed it must be a taxing task to govern a nation so large as Greece!
Chairman Jon, Champion of the Masses.

"Tomas,
According to our border agreement these two tiles you are refering to are Welsh territory! I had proposed those borders and you had accepted them if you remember. What are you telling me now? That I don't have the right to build improvements within my own land?!? So what if they are built next to your city? What's the problem? Is a farm and a minning a threat to you? The fisheries you have built next to Ferryside doesn't seem to bother me but the improvement I built next to Monterey seems to have greatly upset you. Why? Do you want to exploit them instead as you city grows bigger? Well, I am thinking of building a farm near Cardiff next turn. Do I have your permission?
The fact is that two cavalry units are standing within Welsh tiles, next to a Welsh city and on 1500 gold value improvements blocking the production output of a Welsh city and leading to starvation another one.
And a new problem's arrising in our northern borders. You had agreed to let me settle those swamp areas before the flood. I had even terraformed two tiles and had sent a settler there waiting for the terraforming to be completed before building a new city. But the flood killed the settler but not the improvements. Now I detect Spanish movement in that area preventing Welsh units to move there.
What's happening Tomas? Should I alert myself? Do you wish to re-arrange our borders at free will?
Regarding the French-Incan dispute I wish a quick arrangement between Paris and Cuzco and an ending to the war.
St Jon,
You may send a transport but without an escort. First, before the transport is permited to approach you have to disband the city of Le Palais."

"Wales supported the French requisition of the disputed fishery but do not support in any case the French invasion in Incan Republic therefore asks from St Jon to withdraw back to France as a gesture of good will toward all peaceful nations of the world. Welsh will remain neutral.
I welcome too the return to the old status of our diplomatic relations St Jon. However the French government haven't procceded to the disbanding of Le Palais yet. Please, disband it as soon as possible, next turn if possible."

"WHO HAS DARED TO DISTURB THE SLUMBER OF THE EYE OF HEXTAPUL?????"
"It is I, your loyal servant, Hextan."
"Didn't I have you executed?"
"Well yes, but here in the Void, we are all reunited. I am not bitter, for life here is far better than the miserable existence we call mortality... Anyhow, there is a call for Your services - someone called Xenophon of the Greeks, or something like that."
"Hmm, I seem to faintly recall that name. Something along the lines of a world called 'Love Conquers'. Yes, that must be it. Let me get My glasses so I can read the message."
"You need glasses, Great Eye?"
"Well, yes, the Void might be good for eternal life, but it doesn't seem to fix eyesight. I need to talk to someone about that. Maybe get some all-seeing laser eye surgery, or something like that...
You know, I was having a wonderful dream about molding the rules of the CTP world into My own ideals, making it harder for those who would strive to rule it (insert shameless plug for the 'Cradle CTP2 Mod' here). The dream is done now, as far as it allows - always a little room for tweaking though.
Well, enough of that, down to business. Is that rascal St. Jon still spouting off his overblown rhetoric?"
"Yes, still there."
"That's good, always there for a laugh and to make ourselves feel 'better' about ourselves. However, it seems that St Jon has taken a less 'holier-than-thou' tone of late. Comes from enlightenment...
Is Mobius still leading the world?"
"Yes..."
"No surprise there - can't say that I didn't see that though - the Eye sees everything (provided He has His glasses handy). Is Demos gone?"
"Yes, he left soon after You did."
"Too bad, he seemed to overly-enjoy the fruit of the vine. Still, a fine fellow. I heard that Starvos had some problems."
"Yes, he is gone - wiped off the earth."
"I guess that the slaving exchange I worked up with him when I was ruler of the Incans didn't pan out. It was a good idea though. Speaking of the Incans, I guess I have to completely wash my hands of them now. Grandchildren never respect their ancestors anyhow..."
"Sadly, this is so."
"Well, I'm game. Here is the policy, to the rest of the world regarding My temporary stewardship of the Greeks."
Since I am no longer of this world, I have not experienced first-hand some of the subtleties that have been occuring. It is one thing to take over a civ for a permanent basis, as I would be free to pursue my own policies - it is quite another to take it over for a short time where My will is subject to the leadership of others. The Greek leadership had sent messages to all of the world leaders regarding his absence, requesting that any future planned attacks against the Greek nation be tabled until his return. I expect that this will be honored in the spirit of the game.
To this end, Greece remains neutral in the ongoing conflict, unless specifically directed by Xenophon during his absence via email. Greece has also been instructed not to initiate any attacks - this will be strictly honored under My command. Be warned though, Greece will tolerate no action against them, either conventional or unconventional, and is more than capable of defending itself if attacked in such a manner. Any buildup of forces on Greek soil, or on Our borders will be met by forces to counter that buildup.
Xenophon has also spelled out the diplomatic underpinnings within this world too, and I will do My best to honor those agreements that have been laid out.
As a sidenote, there is a good chance that I might not be able to get to play any turns Thursday night of this week. I'm asking for a possible extension through late Friday night if the turn comes in on Thursday night.
Hextapul has spoken!!

- A meeting progresses in a secret hidden bunker within the Incan lands -
"Chairman, it is true. We have recieved confirmation that Xenophon has temporarily left for an unknown destination and left his nation in the hands of .... of .. Umm.. Hextapul"
"WHO!?! .. " Chairman Thor was quite taken aback by that last line.
He stared at the Head of the Incan Intelligence Bureau, who re checked the decryted facsimile, hoping he had misread the name.
"The Hextapul? ", inquired the Chairman
"He claims to be the same Hextapul, our founder.."
"Thats impossible!"
"Umm.. Maybe it is another man with the same name and..."
"No! ", the Chairman interrupted snatching the facsimile so that he could read it himself, "There is only one Hextapul.. and he died thousands of years ago!" .
"But, like you said, its impossible that its him.. maybe he has assumed that name merely to cause confusion and chaos among our people.."
"Yes.. He must be lying. I want you to personally look into this. We cant let our people believe that the founder and liberator of our nation is now the head of the Greeks!"
Chairman Thor, got up from his chair and paced around in the conference room. He had begun to gather his wits and finally his brain was functioning again. The Greek are our friends, why would they ... unless.... Could it be? Is it possible that the French have managed to garner Greek support?? .
No one in the conference room dared to speak. They all silently watched the Chairman pace slowly, deep in thought. They too were very concerned at the latest news from Greece, after all 'the legend' was common knowledge and although few believed it, it was deeply part of Incan beliefs and tradition. How would Chairman Thor keep the country from being torn apart in a civil war?
After all, the legend clearly stated that one day Hextapul would return, unite all the people under him, and eliminate evil from the planet forever. Ofcourse there were those who thought it was no more than foolish folklore, but others truly believed it....
There is no doubt that this man is an impostor, there is no way that a man who has been dead for centuries can come back to life suddenly... and even if he did come back, why as a Greek? , however the Chairman knew that not everyone would see his point of view, and this concerned him greatly, If the people start believing that Hextapul has returned, we may loose control over the people, perhaps even the army. ... France would simply walk over us if this were to happen ...
"Send a press release ASAP stating that Hextapul of the Greeks is an impostor, and any man equating him with our great founder will be publicly impaled as a sign to all."
"But Chairman Thor, isn't that harsh? Wont it further increase the dissent among our people?"
"I have a plan.. perhaps we can use the confusion that Hextapul will bring to our advantage.... ", spoke the Chairman now beginning to smile
The ministers were extremely concerned as they saw a malicious grin come across the Chairman's face...... What was he thinking?....

Turn to Madrid.
PDRF Government Statement.
France has proven, once again, to be the most benign of all nations. Our gallant lifeguards today rescued three poor bewildered and frightened youngsters who, it would appear, were swept overboard from the antedeluvian Spanish vessel struggling to remain afloat close by Dunkirk. Honourable neighbour, I find it somewhat strange that you should have chosen to conscript Law Students into your Navy and still stranger that you should then have expected them to survive upon an old hulk. Emergancy medical care has been provided as well as the offer of an express Air Ambulance home for otherwise I fear they may well perish as Dunkirk Hospital has no Intensive Care Ward. Of still greater concern is the safety of the remaining crews of your two ships as it is a certainty that they will both sink unless they find deep water this Turn.
France rejects the insinuation that she has other than peaceful motives for her construction of Lille International Airport. Lille is the pride of the French nation and tourists flock to gaze in awe at it's beautiful architecture and ancient monuments. It is true that a few Military Aircraft also find it a useful refueling point but France is a large nation and it is not always possible for them to land at the heavily used City Airports which, in the main, were not designed to cater for them.
With the foundation of a forward command post to coordinate the final push to victory France remains confident that the vile Inca couchon will be crushed within a matter of a few Turns. The Factories work night and day to provide the Peoples Army with all the neccessary munitions to finish the job. Chairman Thor, I give you one last chance; pay the PDRF 5000g compensation for your wrongdoings and cede all Cities up to, and including, Lima and peace can return!

So many shiny toys to play with...
Now it seems that Spain feels it is necessary that they exert their political will upon the rest of the world - reports are coming in that there has been a flare-up of hostilities aimed at the Incan nation by Spanish forces. I am deeply troubled by these reports, especially at the role Spain now seems to be playing in all this. Greece has no choice in this matter but to raise their own military awareness as a precaution against hostilities spilling into their own lands. Troops are already being deployed along fronts that have been established with the French, Incan and Spanish nations as a means to make sure that Greek interests are kept safe, and more are on the way. No troops have been placed, except in territory where Greek troops are already stationed.
I remind all leaders that Greece will not fire upon any forces, as this would be in direct violation of Xenophon’s will in this matter, but I do not want to leave an open door for any nations who may feel ‘frisky’ upon Xenophon’s return. And I remind ALL nations that though We are just in the process of raising Our military standing, We have more than enough ‘jack-booted thugs’ who are always on full alert. And judging by the health of Incan/French troops, they still have a long way to go until they reach full strength. Therefore, I call for a cessation of war among all the parties involved. Peace has been offered, so take it!!!
Despite statements to the contrary by the current Incan leadership, I am here. It is truly sad that the Incan leadership would use My return to justify a cheap political ploy, and as a means to sow discord, not only among the many innocent Incan people, but also on the world stage. Is the hold that the current Incan leadership has in Inca so tenuous that they must quash the hopes and dreams of the common folk? And they have already have wiped clean the historical names of the ancient cities (as I noted, even as I took up temporary leadership in Greece). Who of the other world leaders has dared to do so in their countries? At least there is a respect for tradition in those cvivilizations. (I remind all the Incan people that the name 'Thor' is not even Incan in origin.)
Hextapul has spoken!
