Game: Dark Matter (in progress)

I dont think that renaming works if its turned on after the game is started. I dont know why. It seems like it should. But apparently its one of the things that is defined in the games creation. Many of the command-line switches are no more use once the game is started.

The fierce army of Jotun has attacked the lands of Man.

We had sent a messenger to their capitol with an offer of peace, so that the many unbelievers in the surrounding independent lands might have the opportunity to be converted to our respective causes.

However, the messenger never returned, and no reply was forthcoming. Instead, the Jotun launched a sneak attack on our lands, without doing so much as sending a telegram. We can only assume our messenger was eaten by the giants.

We do not ask for assistance in combating this menace, and we have made our own preparations for war.

However, we would like to propose a trade. We desire a minor trinket, a Ring of Frost. In return we can craft a similar item for your nation, made of Air or Nature. Reply in confidence by sending your messenger through the magical paths of the forums, to vfb.

Ok, not to dis anyone but a God named... Jack? Master Blaster? Chivas R? Isn't that a bit, I dunno, pathetic?

Sheesh.

Well I often find my pretender gets named "Arnold" if I let the computer choose the name for me. So we're not the only ones.

And can't you think of any pretender for whom "Jack" might perhaps be a somewhat appropriate name? Consider the Plankton!

Mock not our God, for your God soon shalt Chivas R be!

Believe us, mocking your God is very far from our intentions. We in Caelum appreciate a good hearty drink so we thought maybe we could drink a part of his body. We do not ask much, say one of his legs or one of his eyes. To warm us in the cold wintery Caelum nights.

The Nation of Man wishes to offer thanks to its benefactor. Our Council of Foreign Relations does wonder, however, why a reply to our message was not received. Perhaps the magical paths of the Forums are more dependable method of communication.

In other news, while the Librarians of Nation of Man were doing research, they came across many tales of woe in the blessed tome "The Archives of the Forums". These unhappy stories mostly related to those unfortunate nations who had become embroiled in early conflict, to the detriment of their development.

After considering these sad tales, the Nation of Man thinks it prudent to offer a peace treaty to Jotun. This treaty would permit Jotun to retain the Livenmark, which they won fair and square on the field of battle. Man will remain a small peaceful nation on its tiny peninsula. Jotun, please reply if you would accept this offer.

-- Secretary to the Minister of Peace, Council of Foreign Relations, Man.

P.S. As a gift to Jotun, we have attached a small packet to our messenger, containing 11 herbs and spices and a secret recipe. Enjoy!
