To business: We wish the province of Heulas to complete our vaconce area; enjoy the castle and unicorn banquet!

How delightful!

The Forrest spirits applaud your choice, the sand there is just golden! We only wish you'd have left us some path to the rest of Mans provinces, how could we ever add them to our empire like that? Shall we trot the sea, instead of the land? Sad kitty

The Silent Sea has quite the awareness of ships passing over it--we've left a large port province exclusively for your use, connecting to the other parts of the world.

There is also some oddness: Man has perhaps one province left quite far away from you; you are unfortunately somewhat late in that regard.
'Tis the reason you faced so little opposition, we *ate* the northern (rather warlike) unicorns. *cuteface*

To Machaka, care of Mulungu:
The ocean mists have reported a pleasant interaction with spider pheromones near your newly western border!
In the spirit of continued spider reproduction, we offer you a preemptive NAP-3. However...
*watery glisten*
We are aware that you do not like to negotiate for independent provinces.
Yet.
The coastline and sea in the above area is ours, and a condition of our NAP--take it, and waves will engulf you. Unpleasantly. And instantly.

Some mindslaves believe such an ultimatum is harsh and unnecessary, after all, we do have very delicious tea. But we must be certain-- the ports are for the land dwelling, but the beaches... those beaches... are ours.

Muse, I accept your proposal of NAP 3 with these conditions. You may take provinces 75 and 79. I'll take Port at 85 and beach at 84. I have no interest on sea territories except of those further north surrounded by my territory. Do you sign this proposal of no attacking policy?

The beach of Lower Hoburgia (84) is ours. The port, and all above it (save the water) is yours.
This was the condition, and if it is acceptable, we have an agreement.

To Muse, Sorry, I got this message after uploading my turn. I have to play my turn rather early because of the time differences. You don't have to gear up for hunting spiders since that beach province holds no real value for us. I have now control over the province and I see you were fast enough building a fort under it. Could we cut this one from the middle, I'll hold the beach for 3 turns ( I conquered it after all ) and then you are free to take it?

I'm also willing to change some E/F/N gems to astral ones, if you're into that?

Otherwise I see no reason not to NAP with folks under the sea.

- Mulungu

To Yonz, Thanks - I'll take that province soon.

That is perfectly acceptable! Our NAP is solidified; in approximately three turns we shall secure the beach, and hopefully enjoy a lasting peace with the sweet smelling spiders!

As for trade... that is an interesting proposition, and one we like!
Usually people wish to purchase our tea, or nori, rarely these pearls.
Mayhaps earth gems for our bonsai pots, at a reasonable ratio of 1.5:1 Astral-to-Earth? (Completely negotiable.)

Think on it, it may be a turn or two before The Humming Fog shall commit to a trade.

You claim all beach provinces, yet do not move onto them. Could you spare one or all three of them?

PS: I too had to tell Llamaserver to get out of it's shell and sent me the turn.

This is an interesting contention--if you could see the beach provinces, you'd know we were fighting the armies of Man for them.
We can see Man's capital, as we have had to siege it ourselves to prevent further reinforcements from assaulting us.

The Unending Waters are however *still* willing to withdraw from it, granting you the capital, whilst we secure our beaches once more.
You have this turn to maintain the siege; any further pretense to our small waterfront property will gain you only war.


As a minor diplomatic note: The Still Waves claim only those western beaches--the others of the world need not worry.
