If you run up a negative account balance
it can be difficult to determine the level of emotion the referee may have
towards you. What follow is a convenient
guide to let you know exactly where you stand.
-$5.00 or Less: hey, it happens. Please pay your balance as soon as possible.
-$5.00 -- -$10.00: c’mon, it’s not like
this game is really expensive. Please
pay your balance. Your kids will thank
you for it someday.
-$15.00 or More: Urge to kill rising!
Modifiers: people who try to make
arrangements with me regarding payment (or partial payment) will generally get
a favorable hearing. Players who exceed
three turns of debt without keeping me apprised of their situation will
be dropped and word will be sent out to the other campaigns warning the refs of
the offending player’s deadbeat proclivities.
Players who run up a negative balance and then drop w/o repayment, will
have their names sent out to other referees as mentioned above and will have
massive karmic debt for being a scoundrel and lout.

Fujiwara, Emperor & Shogun of
Emperor Fujiwara ruled with
a quiet manner and such was the way of the last 5 years. Missionaries
made some minor headway in Koguryo while the diplomats were sent to numerous
lands. In Mantap, Lt Kanada was able to convince the local lords to swear
allegiance to the Empire and in Manchou Shozu Asari laid claim to the
land. Doi Chosi was able to make some better headway and swayed the
people of Khungari to become an ally of

The young sailor on duty in the crow’s nest perked up at what appeared to be movement on the horizon. He quickly stood up and focused on the ships in the distance. Who were they he thought, he didn’t recognize the colors. They could be the Japanese or maybe a new Avan vessel, he wasn’t sure as they wer stil too far away to tell. Upon hearing the warning for unknown ships off the port bow the captain ran to see, however there was nothing there. He questioned the crew and no one besides the watch sailor saw these mysterious ships. The captain knew from experience that more often than not it was simply the sea playing tricks on young green sailors and dismissed the it as a false alarm.
Rhama II, Rajah of Camoweal.

Kha-Kheng,
Emperor and Great Khan of the Naiman
Kha-Keng ordered the improvement of the public works in several regions while he ruled from his palace. A large diplomatic mission (with a sizable gold tribute) seemed to be effective but still not convincing enough to change the people of Lu’an. Several thousand troops were given new armor and weaponry, though it seemed quite a bit heavier than their previous set.
Chang
Liu, Emperor of Wei
After hearing of the disturbances in the nation of Jaunpor, the
Emperor became concerned….about the wonderful trade that had been halted to all
the fighting. Determined to solve the
problem he dispatched General Chang Cong with 40,000 troops to re-establish
trade with the new nations of Jaunpor.

General Teng Li was honored by the parade given
in his honor by the King. Even though
Teng Li was a simple man he knew the King was not and appreciated the effort
expended on his behalf, the king granted Teng Li a leave of absence which he
used to meditate in his gardens for half a year. Prince Moiseev was not so content, he had
lost two wives to child birth and still no children of his own. Mo Yen Cho, on orders from the King, went
forth and counted the people of the kingdom to ensure that taxes were being
exacted correctly while the King ruled the Kingdom form his ornate Palace in

there’s no stopping us now” was all he could say upon hearing the news that
Malarkodi, the King of True Jaunpur, had successfully been declared a Heretic
by his people. The king knew his troops would now fight with more fervor
against the heretics’ army.

Coman
Khalid Rholah, Khan of the Scythian Turks, Protector of the Caliph and the Holy
Places.
The
daylight assassination attempt on the King was bold and many thought stupid,
and it would have worked if it wasn’t for those crazy junior Scythian
scouts. They recognized the unique footwear of the Zorat assassins and
alerted the guards during the speech. Numerous investments were made into
improving the regions of Al Qunfundhah and Ash Shihr. A royal wedding
occurred between the Kings eldest daughter and his most trusted Lt,
Sofian. The wedding was cut short by word of an invasion to the north by
the Zorat Church of Reunification. With the King ruling at home and
Prince Omar assisting, two different types of battles wages on with the
ZCR. In 866 the ZCR forces numbering some 8,400 (mostly regular infantry)
marched south from Zufar into Hadramuht. The ZCR scouts were greatly
misinformed since they let their Army march directly into an expecting Scythian
defense led by Lt Mahmud. The Scythian defenses were comprised of 4400
Heavy Infantry backed by an equal number of Field Forts. The ZCR line was
broken almost instantly as the casualty rate skyrocketed. The ZCR Lt
Hamadrat was wounded in the exchange but was able to escape during the
disorderly retreat back to Zufar. All told the ZCR left 6,000 dead on the
filed while the prepared Scythians lost a mere 400. The other battle was
one of a religious nature, both the ZCR and the Scythians were madly trying to
convince the people of Quatar which way was the path to true happiness.
The ZCR won the day barely with a slight increase in believers for them.

“There he goes!!” shouted the Byzantine Constable as he ran
after the hooded man. “I can’t be
captured, my father won’t hear of it” muttered Prince Rahim as he ran for his
very life. Rahim could not comprehend
how he could have been spotted again, this was the second time his cover had
been blown but this time it was in front of the local constabularies. “That’ll teach them damn Persians, sending us
their misfits” stated the Constable as he looked upon the lifeless body of what
he thought was a mere vagabond when in fact it was Prince Rahim of the Sassanid
Empire.
Emperor Piliser went about the routine of running his great
empire with glee. He was blessed with a
large treasury and a great number of people entering service of the realm. Development was put forth on the cities of
The military supply clerks nearly quit in protest to the huge

The mighty Ostrogothic Empire under the great leadership of King Adalbert had
managed to free his empire of slavery and move his people to an agrarian
economy. The opposition had tried to stir a civil war (seeing as how
slave labor was used to advance the change) but there effort lost steam as the
majority of the people were happy and overjoyed at the transformation.

The Varangian Emperor ruled over a very peaceful nation. Some
small investments were made into improving public facilities and into expanding

the people of the possibility of a new and better way of thinking was steadily
improving.

Otto
IV, Bretwalda of
The nation was abound with economic investments, public works improvements were made in many different regions while a great deal of naval construction took place in Southhampton. The King attempted numerous times to beget more children, but alas his age had caught up with him and he did not have a single one. Several of the nations leaders focused their efforts on wooing Ponthieu as to the many benefits of their way of life, and it was a rousing success as the region gave itself fully to the Wessex Empire.
The old fisherman burst into the pub saying he had just seen the most incredible thing. He proceeded to tell the tale from his morning adventure about seeing two of the largest ships he’d ever seen with the strangest flags he’d ever seen. He said he could fit four merchant ships from his day, which wasn’t saying much since he was a ripe old 78. The old man went on and on about these two ships until the bartender finally said “Allright, allright, I’ll give you a pint if ya shut up!” for he knew the old man was nothing more than an old blowhard who loved to weave a tall tale or two in hopes of scoring a free pint (which of course it did).

Advisor Babtunde traveled to the Holy City of Benu under protest, but the King’s orders were the King’s orders, and he felt like keeping his head for a while longer. Once there he started to learn of the teaching s of the Spider God and quickly saw the light. Babtunde couldn’t wait to get back to the King and show him the true path. The laborers in Kwarafa were busy putting up defensive forts and increasing city walls in more places than they could count. They also managed to build the other half of a road from Hausa to Nupe, and as busy as they were still managed to clearcut the region of Kafin and put the till to it. The king felt it was time to meddle in the business of the merchants as they were becoming complacent and there was more money to be had if done properly.

King Nobata saw the only

royal treasuries were emptied as military training camps were established,
public works in almost all reaches of the empire built and additional
administrators hired to help increase the efficiency of the ruling of the
kingdom.
