Having removed yet another Barbarian, our people can now work in the fields without fear of sudden attack. There do seem to be a plethora of these hostile warriors roaming through Greece. We wonder if others have made sightings in their own lands?

Turn 67 to 'The Blasphemer'.

Welcome unto the fold oh vile and loathsome creature. Though the World itself might weep for thy very creation I do forgive thee for my love is infinite and extends even unto the basest of creation.

A Turn of peaceful worship for my flock with scarce a heretic to burn. A ceremonial 'drawing and quartering' of a Barbarian was held in Orleans but elsewise all was as placid as a lamb, as indeed am I.

Rejoice in the warmth of my love my children!

Now I see (with ref. to Keygen's topic )

Lung and St Jon are simply in "a kind of" love. St Jon WISHES, that D. Lung had been a female and Lung that St Jon had never been born

They simply loves each others

Anyway they act as they had been married for more than 30 years: I don't like what you like and you are not supposed to like what I like!!!!!!!!

Edit: Forgive me my Lord - but I couldn't help it. I am just a humble human....

Get thee forth from amongst us, 'Man of the Air'!!!

I love the 'Unspeakable One' as if she were my own sister but the very idea of marriage?

The consequence of marriage is oft as not fornication and as such is Sin. Chastity is amongst my many virtues and it is heresy to think that I should go against that which my old friend Leviticus said:

'And no man should'st lie with his Mother, nor his Sister, nor his Daughter, nor the Oxe, nor the Ass or any other beast of the field'

General Lung sits back on his shiny new chair in his custom-made office, puts his feet up, quietly sips a stiff drink, and admires the view through the window of the construction of the London Exchange, a wonderous building which will propel the Spanish nation to prosperity the likes of which have never been seen. "Mobius will be pleased to see what greatness i have bestowed on his people" muses General Lung to himself.

"Ah, the pay's great, but what the hell is this stuff?", ponders General Lung, whilst enjoying the effect of the alcohol. "A wise decision to accept this contract, although i hope the Mighty Demosthenes bears no grudges for this!", he thinks. "Still, i won't be initiating any conflict towards the Welsh, so he can't complain. Hmmm, i better get some good bonuses if i have to fight a war, or anything. The Great Mobius could have left me a few chicks to keep me company, though. There's nothing like a wench 'doing the honours' to me to get those strategic creative juices flowing!", ponders General Lung in his usual profound self.

It is good to see that Lung the Legendary has made a return to our world, even if it is for another nation. Still, the present prohibition in Wales would not fare well with you, as neither does it with myself.

Options are being looked at to see how the consumption of alcohol can be regulated rather than prohibited, as rumours of our mighty leaders affinity for ale persist.

Turn to Madrid.

Brothers and Sisters,

What is this that I hear of War? Know you not that 'Love Conquers All' regardless of all the spite and bile in the the World?

My congegation in Tours are somewhat anxious at the sight of just so many Spanish Cavalrymen. Brother Tomas was to be trusted but can the same be said of the 'Loathesome One'?

Dearest Xenophon, beloved unto to my heart you may be but you have stationed a Diplomat, I forgive you for he is only an unarmed man, well to the South of any proposed Greek City Radius. This is productive land, and my disciples need to eat, and must not be wasted by any border disputes.

Greek, Spanish or Inca, I care not which, have established a City opposite Strasbourg. This is an ancient French City and her productive radius is sacred and this is not open to any form of negotiation.

Blessings unto you All.
St Jon, Good Tidings in a Life of Ill News.

BTW. Please only post to jonfurderer@freeuk.com as I rarely even look at any other a/c.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

St Jon of the French,

It is I, Quinns of the Inca, who is responsible for the city opposite of Strasbourg. I tried to place the city as far away as possible from any Greek or French city without overlapping city radii. The overlap that you refer to covers only one tile, and I see that you already have a worker on that tile. Obviously, I have no intention of claiming that tile, as you were there first.

I'm sorry if this displeases you St Jon, but we Incans needed a port on this body of water and we built it in Incan territory on the area of least city radii conflict.

May the good Gods also bless you and your people,

Quinns of the Inca

Why are you b.....s so jumpy? Talk about knee jerk reactions. Here we are, just testing out the capabilities of our army, doing a bit of war training and such, and you guys are ready to proclaim Armagedon... Don't worry, any nation that hasn't laid claim to part of our land has nothing to fear.

Beloved St Jon, surely a lone Diplomat relaxing in no-man's-land cannot perturb you! He stands in no cities radius, so he cannot prevent your hungry people from eating!

And we hope the "war games" of the Australians will not become anything more.

"Knee jerk!" I thought you DID NOT want peace Mr. Breaker Morant! And that Peace is just for the lovey dovey sissies of the world. Why for are you worried about WAR? I thought you wanted to go to war with everyone, you antsy bas**ard! And I see you also created a city that overlaps with my existing city radius. See St Jon, I'm not the only one who makes colonization mistakes! I had to occupy the tile in question to enforce my right to this region.

Breaker Morant asks himself why people are so unkind?

It is true, War is the ultimate in self actualisation. An ends unto itself. You can only truly define yourself through your actions in vanquishing the enemy.

I will forgive your building of a city so close to where I had planned a city, and not include you in my short list of teritorial transgressors. This makes a fine oportunity to define a border. I had done this with your predecessor, but it seems that you wanted a more cozy relationship. I get that a lot

btw... what does antsy mean? I've heard it used, but never realy got down to the real meaning. I presume its an Americanism.

Turn 69, I trust there are no immoral thoughts, to Madrid and Cardiff.

Beloved Children, there is the smell of saltpetre in the air and I fear for the lives of many innocent souls, who even though they live in darkness, deserve a better fate.

Ponder long on your decisions, my dearest Breaker Morant and Loathesome Regent of Spain, for this headlong rush to 'War Readiness' can only mean tears from the widows that you will leave behind. Remember the sorry orphan's cry as she mourns the lot that life has bestowed upon her:

Pale, thro' pathless ways
The fancied image strays
Famished, weeping, weak,
With hollow piteous shriek.

Let love embrace you all and happiness abound amongst all of God's creations!

St Jon, The Light in a Darkened Room.

BTW. I've sent the Turn on to Demos as Lung said he would be away for the weekend.
