Talk:Redspan Revealer/December Edition 2006

Begging

Rumor has it that Darka is now begging for someone to finance their war on RedSpan. At least we haven't begged for others to come save us like RedSpan has - LilWolf 17:00, 2 December 2006 (CET)

Calling for Allies is honourable. Asking for money to fight is not. And our allies do it for loyalty and respect to Redspan, unlike darka who cant even get a realm to finance thier expedition ScottSabin 17:04, 2 December 2006 (CET)

Have you considered the possibility that Darka is currently contracted to someone else? Stomping out goat herders is a pastime for us, not a job. And work comes before play! -Pizarro

Good to know that it's all really about the money, not about honor. Darka knows nothing of honor. When you have time to get back to your extortion scheme, let us know! --Habap 15:02, 3 December 2006 (CET)

Ha! Speak not of honor when you know none yourself, friend. How honorable of us would it be to ditch our employers to raze RedSpan to the ground? We have been contracted, and we will serve our contract until it expires. Now, attacking a banker in his sleep during peace time, for the sole purpose of getting gold, is that honorable? And then claiming to have punished the assassin by taking away less gold than he took, is that honorable? -Pizarro

More honourable than fighting against a realm with out declaring war on them? As you did during the taran/Rs war? I remember we kicked your ass many times and oyu had CE and tara to help you. Lets see if you do any better this time? ScottSabin 19:16, 11 December 2006 (CET)

It sure looks like simple posturing then if you already had a contract and had no intention of coming to RedSpan. Or like simple greed if you took the contract instead of fighting to preserve your honor. The money is, was and always will be the most important thing to a kingdom of sell-swords. --Habap 21:09, 11 December 2006 (CET)

Abington has not issued a formal declaration of war against us, yet their infiltrators cause malice within our borders. It is nice to see that RedSpan and her cohorts employ a set of double standards. Darka is a mercenary realm, we have no need to declare war unless we are directly attacked. We merely join with our contractors and fight their enemies. Your troops have violated the sovereignty of Eston by crossing into their lands without permission, would you call that honorable then? And just to clarify: We did not receive help from Tara or CE. They received help from us. Insulting us because we fight for money is pointless. It is the basis of our realm. Some expand their wealth by invading others, as you have done in the past, we expand our realm by offering our services to the highest bidder. -Pizarro

Cheap and simple street-walkers. --Habap 21:02, 11 December 2006 (CET)

Call us what you want. But I suggest you save your breath for when it matters.-Pizarro

Just because you see no need to declare war does not mean that the international community does not. You are still going to war with another nations. Act like you have a pair and declare war instead of hiding behind a contract and two neighboring realms. You make enemies and perhaps their only way of striking back is to put prices on your heads. --Habap 21:09, 11 December 2006 (CET)

Fear not, as soon as our current contract expires, you'll see our banners approaching from behind the horizon. -Pizarro

Make sure you hold your coin cups out to beg for cash and your skirts hiked up to lure the johns. Oh, and don't bother attaching name tags to the backs of your shirts. We won't be shipping your bodies home, we'll just burn 'em. --Habap 22:05, 11 December 2006 (CET)

you'll see our banners approaching from behind the horizon. Ah..so your using th horizon as a shield now...i always knew you were cowardly. And we do not fear Darka they could not chaneg the face of the Taran war when they even had CE and Tara to fill out their armies, They wont be able to do anything this time. Oh and your infils are crap to....they got caught even before they reached my tent :D ScottSabin 13:12, 12 December 2006 (CET)

You had Abington and Carelia backing you, and at some point Falasan as well. What's your point? You can hardly compare that war to ours. We hadn't even shown up to settle the score, and you had Abingtonians and Carelians in your capital defending your goats. If you are so confident about our inability to defeat you, why won't you face us one on one? It seems you bit off a bit more than you could chew... -Pizarro

We anxiously await you. With no meat shields, either Darkan troops will have to act as meat shields or you will be mowed down like weeds before Da Goats. I imagine that at the very least, Darkan sell-swords will not be filling any contracts for a while. A service to all civilized realms. We have Da Grill ready for many Darkan carcasses. --Habap 16:22, 12 December 2006 (CET)

'We'? As in 'me and my realmmates' or 'me and everyone I could find to protect me'? Because if it's the first, I doubt we'll be needing much meat shielding. We'll just take the corpses of your fallen troops and put them to good use for a change. And after all that boasting, we'll be very disappointed if it turns out you're hiding behind 2,000 Abingtonian and Carelian troops. -Pizarro

Still haven't found anyone to pay for your trip? Abington and Carelia came without having to be paid. They came because they are our allies. They only way anyone would help you is if you paid them. No one loves a mercenary. Expect to be disappointed - you've been disappointing us for weeks with your mere posturing. --Habap 16:54, 12 December 2006 (CET)

I believe we should use the next contract fee to pay for some reading lessons for your people, because I have said two times before that we are still under CONTRACT. As such, we are CONTRACTED to the people who CONTRACTED us until the CONTRACT expires. And unlike you, we do not find it necessary to call in our friends over a personal matter. And then you question our honor? First you send assassins, cowards who attack from the shadows, and when we decide to hit back you immediately hide behind your friends. Very honorable indeed. If you had any honor in you, you would take responsability for your actions yourself, rather than having your friends stand behind you just in case the people you messed with turn out to be stronger than you, you spineless worms. And make no mistake, in one-on-one combat, we will tear your armies apart like wet parchment. And as for your alliance, where were you when Abington was under attack from six realms? You obeyed your arch enemies' orders rather than helping your closest friend. It seems the Darkans are more loyal to their contractors than the goatshaggers are to their federation partners. If I had a hat on, I would take it off, just for you. It's a shame I am no longer a warrior... but I guess I could tell your people a thing or two about the true nature of their masters. With some luck, they may realise they are governed by cowards. -Pizarro

It's a shame I am no longer a warrior... Wait, so, like Vatticus, you are also not coming down to fight us? How many skulking cowards with big mouths can there be in one realm? If you can't stand up to the challenge of fighting those you declare war on, don't bother declaring war. We know you only care about the money you're trying to extort from us, not some concept of honor. You reek of soap and perfume! I bet your men all wear, dare I say it, pants! --Habap 17:13, 12 December 2006 (CET)

Who said I wasn't coming down there? Even if it's not for the fighting, I'll be there for the show, and to incite religious unrest amongst your people. Who knows, I may even temporarily take a step back from preaching by the book to spread my beliefs by the sword. And I shouldn't say again that if you can't stand the challenge of suffering the consequences of your actions, you should not pick fights with stronger realms, only to have your allies behind you... or put yourself behind them, as you seem to be doing. If we do what you do and call upon our allies ourselves, we would have the exact same war we fought for years, and it would result in the thing: RedSpan weaseling out and Abington being under attack from all sides. Why don't you lot grow a pair, send your friends home and do your own dirty work? By the way, it's a rhetorical question, and the answer is 'because you don't have the spine'. -Pizarro

I'd say I'd finally gotten your goat, but I know no goat would put up with you. Your arrogance continues to amuse. You're a bully and you're trying to extort 1200 gold from us. You continue to claim to be too busy to protect your honor, claiming prior commitments. We'll believe you once you can be bothered to come down here. Until then, go boast to your volcano - it will take you more seriously. --Habap 18:08, 12 December 2006 (CET)

You know ive had just about as much of your BS as i can take. One thignn redspan has friends, Allies help each other. Are your allies helping you? No. becasue they dont want to get involved with your warmongering. Our allies help us, as we helped them. Maybe not militarly, but diplomaticly and with food and money. You see help dosent always have to be in the form of the sword. Oh and were not the ones who declare a war but dont show up. And dont give me that crap about a Contract. If you took the contract after declareing war you are wasting our time. if you ahd the contract before you declared war, then it was a false impressions, so cram it with the contract excuse, come up with another one. Redspan dosent wealse out of anything. We arnt like you, who say "sorry our contract is up we cant fight with you no more" When things go bad. But why dont we settle this once and for all. Come down here and find out what your reception woud be like. ScottSabin 18:12, 12 December 2006 (CET)

Been out sick

I had a urinary tract infection, so have been away for a few days. I tried logging into BM from the hospital's TV browser, but it wasn't correctly displaying the game screens (i.e. blank screens!) I should be back online later today after I am released from the hospital. 30 days of antibitotics await. I should be completely normal (and back to working full days like normal) in a day or two. --Habap 15:50, 11 December 2006 (CET)

Hope you feel better. And dont worry, all the grammar errors will be awaiting for when you get back :P ScottSabin 17:50, 11 December 2006 (CET)
