From FrustratedPoet, by email:

Furthermore, it would be in both our interests to establish a research partnership. May I ask what you are currently researching and what the ETA is? We're working on Writing and it will finish in approx 20 turns (I forget the exact number).

Also, a couple of turns ago we popped a warrior from a goody hut to the north of your territory and he is currently moving south through the mountains towards our lands. Do not be alarmed if you see him pass by, you have my assurance that he will not bother you. He is currently 2 tiles away from your border and will get no closer than that. I'm also telling you this so that you can be sure that the jump in the power graph in our favour is not a result of us preparing to rush you.

I look forward to your reply.

(PS. If you don't want me bothering you with this stuff, and I should instead be contacting someone else (Octavian?) about diplomacy between our teams, just let me know and I'll shut up. )

To the people of Izzardia

We fart in your general direction! Your mothers were hamsters and your fathers smelt of elderberries!

That being said (and we really had to), we greet you as our friendly neighbors. May our friendship be long and fruitful. You ask what we're researching? We are researching Bronze Working, to make better armor and weapons for our nobles. We'll have it in about 3 turns. We shake our heads on your research. Writing? What silly thing's that? Are you clerics? What does a man need this for? Oh well, perhaps we'll later have use for it. May be for engraving in the Holy Grail "Found by Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table".

On the issue of the warrior, who you found in the small village, we still don't know what our answer is. Our ancestor, the great Guy de Loimbard, would have said:

You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. We blow our noses at you and all your silly English k-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!

But our ancestor was of a very low culture. We won't say such things to you, at least not that loud. We say: Go in peace, but do not cross our borders, or we have to activate our livestock artillery at you.

Received today by PM:

Dear Knights Who Say Ni,

The people of Izzardia, learned as they are in matter of clerical importance, desire to exchange our knowledge of religious burial techniques and temple-building for your knowledge of how to work the metal known as Bronze.

We have abandoned our previous faith of the "Psychotic Bastard" religion in favour of something known as the "Church of England", which is a much better name and at least sounds like it has some actual principles attached to it.

We await your response to this proposal.

Yours sincerely,
FrustratedPoet, the Big Hairy King of Izzardia.

Big Hairy King, Executive Transvestite, or whatever you call yourself Frustrated Poet of Izzardia:

We would indeed like to trade your art of burying things for our art of making shiny things out of bronze. You see, we have several dead parrots nailed to their perches since we’ve nothing better to do with them…

However, we do feel that bronze working is more valuable than ceremonial burial. If we were to sell bronze working to Izzardia, we would expect ten gold coins in addition to ceremonial burial.

Please contact us soon,
