31 Dec 14 UTC | Spring, 1454: (Chumbles): "There was Treachery plotting and scheming, Anger glowing red, and Dread as well." |
05 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1454: Siena again? *cries* Gib chance pls? |
05 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1454: French again!! |
05 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1454: "Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others." Niccolo Machiavelli - Seems rather apt! |
08 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1454: The Pope proclaims a crusade against Pisa and whoever who helps him. Worry not, the crusade is bound to be very short and you should be back home by next week. Free plenary absolutions for whoever sinks a Pisan ship and free vacations in Holyland for the head of any Pisan senator. |
08 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1454: "Aut Caesar, aut nihil." - the Borgias have form |
08 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1454: In the name of the people of PISA i would like to thank all the states on the appenin half island for their counsel in spring 1454. Without your counsel we would not have dared such a bold move against the biggest oppressor the world has ever seen: The "holy" pope. The wrong "Pope", "Cardinals" and "Priests" fled the vatican with all their Bastard Kids and Gold as much they could carry. But they left behind their Bibles. Pisa will hold ROMA until a capable and worthy successor was found and hand over the reign of ROMA and the Vatican to him/her. Until then every attempt to get the Crown on the Appenin has to go thru PISA. I will hold counsel and receive requests every tuesday afternoon during "aperitivo". |
08 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1454: Ahhh... aperitivo, a civilised and benign habit that aids the digestion, mellows the temper and frees the shackles o0f mundane concerns! |
09 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1455: Heretics running Pisa? Burn that Savonarola at the stake, please. |
10 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1455: And so Siena and Genoa show the knife behind their smiles. |
10 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1455: Damn! It is the smallest power that wields the biggest knife/ |
10 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1455: What knife??? |
10 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1455: What knife? It's the flaming sword of Wrath of God! |
12 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1455: GameMaster: Savoia voted for a Pause. If everyone votes Pause the game stop and wait till everybody votes Unpause. Please consider backing this. |
12 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1455: Savoia: would a extend be sufficient? Pauses just so often don't get unpaused again, destroying the game ... |
12 Jan 15 UTC | Autumn, 1455: Probably it was a mistake, dear King of Naples! |
14 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1456: Sadly, the proud city of Florence is about to be overrun by the very city befriended by this generous (aka gullible) people. Siena's troops, bearing the papal arms, are even now massing in order to assist the papal armies. We hope that in due course otherss will properly thank these bastardi cuore nero. |
14 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1456: "Ah Italia mia, sebben il parlar sia indarno..." Dear Florence, face death with honour. There is a God. He see everything. He will remember the way in which Tuscany has fallen and his pity will give it to merciful hands full of flowers. |
14 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1456: Verissimo! |
14 Jan 15 UTC | Spring, 1456: Florence is not all Tuscany. No poems for Siena or Pisa? |
