Kalmar Election
Well with a choice El Cid vs Lalakis which would you choose? meh, I still wish BBB ran. --Alex 23:30, 23 May 2006 (CEST)(Legatus DeSyrr)
- I feel your pain. This is one case where you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. I might have just spent all my votes on someone else. Honestly, with all the ex-Avamar people you have in the islands, and the fact that the supposedly disowned El Cid himself is still there and apparently in the running for a position of power, the KI will never shake off their reputation as Avamar Jr. At least three of the largest realms on the island are just waiting for the chance to clean out the Islands at their first opportunity. You guys really need to do some house-cleaning, kick off all the former Avamarrian trappings, and really distinguish yourself somehow as a separate entity. It will be an uphill battle, as the realm was founded in a violent uprising by foreign immigrants that ousted the original government, intending to turn it into a new Avamar. I honestly don't see how it can happen. --Indirik 23:56, 23 May 2006 (CEST)
- To be honest, the new Kalmar Islands is doing quite well, better than the old. It is jsut the pitiful foreign relations we have now. Thats what comes with all the Avamarians. We recently voted to try to make peace with OR, Perdan, Ibladesh, Itorunt, and LoF.
- It doesnt matter to me, I like the new democracy I do nto like how it was created. I am hoping we can get the estimable Sir Prometheus and the old Kalmarians back, but keep the democracy. It really is an enjoyable government system.

Eh, thanks for cleaning up my mistakes Balkeese - Atticus
- It wasn't me. Revan got to it before I saw it. --Indirik 18:52, 18 July 2006 (CEST)
- And I still got it wrong. Didn't realise it was the 18th today hehe - Revan
Bah, sometimes I get {{{article}}} above what I wrote - daym thats annoying
Not the be a gripe or anything, but I'm pretty sure the specific terms of the ceasefire were originally printed by the RSC not the II...--Aeillien 00:53, 28 July 2006 (CEST)
Good for the RSC, I read it in the II first. - Atticus
Heh. Don't worry Aeillien, I quite like to hear from fans of my wrork in Perdan as well <grins>.
By the way, for conveniece, II is a redirect for the Itorunt Informer. --The1exile 19:34, 29 July 2006 (CEST)
Alex, I advertised the itorunt informer in perdan to no end. The troops need some humour from time to time :P - Atticus
Moving capital (OOC)
Moving the Capital for strategic reasons is against the rules laid out by Tom. To have a valuid reason Perdan City would have to be at the centre of Perdan (it's not) or Partora would have to have been TO'd. Also, moving capital costs a lot and morale and control drop across the board. --The1exile 17:40, 2 August 2006 (CEST)
- There are many reasons you could move your capital. Recentering it in your kingdom is the most obvious, but by no means the only one. If, for example, we were worried that Ibladesh might sack Partora, then moving the capital to Perdan city, away from the front lines with Ibladesh, would be a perfectly IC reason. There are many other IC reasons that would justify a capital, such as Perdan city being the historic capital of Perdan, or in preparation for a trading of Partora to another realm. The recentering your capital is not really any type of restriction on moving a capital. Light of Fountain could, for example, move their capital to Akesh Temple as the center of their religious faith, and it is by no means the geographic center of their realm. Indeed, it is about as far from it as you can get. The restrictions on capital moves are that they cannot be done for OOC reasons. The most common restriction being the circumvention of the OOC recruiting restrictions. There are easily half a dozen reasons Perdan could use to move the capital from Partora to Perdan city, if we wanted to do it. --Indirik 18:04, 2 August 2006 (CEST)
Tonwsland /= Capital
OOC: There's a response to your article in the RSC now. Hope we can keep this intellgent and civil the way we have so far. :) Also, my inquiries lead me to believe that townslands can no longer function as capitals. This was a mechanical aspect changed by Tom sometime back, so your propoal for them to be situated in Tokat wouldn't work. --Aeillien 22:51, 3 August 2006 (CEST)
- No townsland capitals? Huh... That's not a change I had heard of, but it's not a situation that comes up very often, I bet. Well, that does change some things, now doesn't it. I suppose I'll have to do some rethinking of the proposals then. --Indirik 03:33, 4 August 2006 (CEST)
Signing Peace
Suggest you include that in you commentary:
Diplomatic News (2 days, 1 hour ago) The realms of Perdan and Itorunt have signed a peace treaty.
Currently you only have notification of the CF. --The1exile 04:01, 4 August 2006 (CEST)
Old Rancagua
As far as I can tell, it's a lack of leadership on OR's part combined with crafty leadership on KI's part. Alois Hynes 00:35, 12 September 2006 (CEST)
Treaty
8) Ibladesh, Fontan and Sirion will agree to sell Perdan food for a reasonable price (10 gold/per 100 bushels) if either is in need of food. If Ibladesh, Fontan, and Sirion are unable to fulfill the food needs of Perdan, then Ibladesh agrees to return Montabaun back to Perdan, or Fontan agrees to return Troyes to Perdan. The food need not come from the three realms, they are free to make arrangements with other realms to provide the food to Perdan. Some nobles cannot read, or what? -- Atticus
- Apparently. There is also much speculation that the treaty offers from the other realms are not honest offers, but merely delaying tactics, distractions, and attempts to make it seem as if it is Perdan's fault that there is no peace. Hence the extremely harsh terms for ending a war that Ibladesh started in order to take Ubent's land. --Indirik 00:00, 21 September 2006 (CEST)
Delaying tactics? That would be a dandy for perdan. Build up a boat load of militia in Bescanon and along the southern border. -- Atticus
10 gold per 100 Bushels is ridiculous...there is a reason why Rurals make more food than gold, and why most other region types make more gold than food...in that fine gap, is where the 'adjustment' takes place. If Perdan is left needing food, it means she has too many rich-gold producing regions...and should shed another one if needed. If not, then she needs to pay the 'proper' amount of gold per 100 bushels, perhaps not to exceed the earnins of that said region--ie 300 gold a week for "x" bushles, etc. Doc
OR Ibladesh could choose which they want, The gold or the regions, so that we can either AFFORD to buy food at the reasonable price or buy less food.
You seem to forget, though, that after Perdan nearly defeated Fontan they sold Fontan food at 8 gold per one hundred bushels. Hynes 02:15, 21 September 2006 (CEST)
