We understand. We were simply curious if you were interested.

[Nirur Torir]

It occurs to me that this is liable to turn into "loyalists vs rebels," "empire vs everyone," or "everyone dances to absurd demands."

[Criptfeind]

Hey Tiruin, the brimstone republic appreciates your offer to help secure our borders, but we've already sent troops to the affected areas to help hold against the blighted menace, as well as try to cut it off at the source.

Your troops would probably be better spent readying themselves to expand your lands into the rest of beaton or securing your own border with the blighted lands. After all, it's no use if you send troops to help secure my lands, only for your own to fall.

Great point ._. I just want to help though since this turn and next are caravan making.

Now to try and contact someone I have no idea about yet but that makes sense in-game for purposes of trade routes (and helping others with moneys)

...This turn is Kashyyk subtly pushing the "PvE" bit right? After realizing that we're really going to RP our nations instead of going against each other?

Edit: Not to doublepost but...what's all that about me reading people spending {X} to have something customized happen?

[Iituem]

Pork will be going with the traditional avenue of tax dodging through complicated legal loopholes for now.  An annoying technically loyal non-complier is more likely to get an angry taxman than an angry army.

Edit:  Let's throw a quick letter in.

Spoiler: Letter to Talarys Revakyn (click to show/hide)

Esteemed Alliance Leader Talarys Revande,

I write to you with a simple request; if it is convenient to your needs, we ask that you take South Owldale within the next four years.  If this is not possible, we would be happy to seize it and sell it to you instead for the trouble of taking it.

The Finest Regards,

Princess Gruntsnuffle of the House of Suidae
Principality of Pork

[Nirur Torir]

Would I be correct in assuming that the tax is on our income before expenses?

That is correct.

This is unfortunate, but by the time imperial accountants finally get around to auditing me, I'll have researched tax law enough to have a loophole.

[Taricus]

Man between the empire awakening and my luck wit the RNG I can't help but feel the game has it out for me. Again :V

[Ghazkull]

Envoy, what envoy? never heard of no envoy.

To the Principality of Pork:

Greetings,

It would be convenient, yes. We will retake Owldale with force. If, however, you can send us money (which we will return with a 10% interest in a single payment in the future) for...scholarship fees and purchase of additional equipment, at around at least 600 of your units of currency, we would fairly appreciate that in order to retake Owldale and further mutual plans of conquest and otherwise.

Have a great day;
-- Signed with the Alliance Seal

Edit:
:I
Nobody cared to nudge me on this tax that was on the top of the Turn 4 that I missed because of rushing!
Hmph >_> [/oopsme]

@Kashyyk: Linkie for "Turn 4" for editing the OP faster. :3

Esteemed Alliance Leader Talarys Revande,

We cannot transfer such funds until a stable trade route is established between us, and presently our silver is all tied up in assets.  However, if we can bridge that gap in the near future we will see to arranging a loan.

[RulerOfNothing]

Tiruin, how exactly do you pronounce 'Revakn'?

[Kashyyk]

I've been pronouncing it "Reh-vahk-en". I'm curious as to what she says now.

[Criptfeind]

I've said it in my head as Ree-Va-kin. But thinking about it there's no I.

[Iituem]

I've been going with Reh-vahk-en as well.

[Tiruin]

HAH FINALLY I HAVE GOOD INTERNET (ok, not good, but 'not horribly disconnecting in that I can't load Bay12 but load other areas')

In lore, it was a rather...mixed collusion of language, as while all I'm doing is typing it all in English, the translation to symbols make it different--the leader's surname however is how it should be mentioned 'Reh-vahn(d)'.

To simplify it: Just mention it with a silent 'k'.
But otherwise, the background has its own language and accent so you're all correct technically too.
