    Game 8 - Page 24 Empty ONE GRAIN OF SAND WHERE ARE YOU?????

    Post by The Hessian Wed May 21, 2014 9:57 pm

    Please come back and rescue us from the Portugese Inebriated Forgers attempts to take over your crown of making sense of the worlds goings on in LGDR 8! There is no humour, no mention of cakes or large ladies. Frankly its terse, crude and too damn short to excite or interest the minds of states rulers such as you provided.

    Return and carry on your public service for which you are appreciated and admired by the more intellectual classes of society.

    In game Ills end you a case of custard slices and a particularly gifted large female sous chef!

    To all from G8 will try to give an update for the last 3 months, sorry but R L intruded into my Rumelian home life. Resulting in no time to digest and decipher the monthly news.
    I will endeavour to improve my tardy performance. To Deacon well done for March however I must state that the secret is to know! Is the wanker simply a wanker or does the wanker
    have a message that only another wanker can understand and learn from ?. (no insult intended, unless your a wanker of course).

    And now a bit of poetry

    Gadde the Cad was thought to be bad
    Alas for Gadde he was found to be mad
    With the swish of a sword
    His head did fall forward
    And oh how it made me feel glad.

    Game 8 - Page 24 Empty What is it with the Chinese

    Post by The Hessian Wed Jun 11, 2014 10:05 pm

    Why oh why do you always go on about size??

    Ang whats with this constant reference to fleets? Are to opening a worldwide take away service??

    Surely you haven't got time for that with you using every minute to develop even more grandiose presents for the Emperor.

    lastly shame the untimely removal of your icon. The Best B'Stard ever.

    Truly Brilliant Papin snatched and flown out of china on an enormous Kite. (China has a thing about Size!)

    WOW makes sense.?

    Would rather the fleets were for a new worldwide chinese take away service.

    1. Queen Anne is crowned in Scotland, will full union follow?
    2. Who owns the Hibernian West indies Company, Scotland, Liege or The Elector of Hanover?
    3. Why are the troops of the Northern Alliance (England, Hanover and Denmark) also known as the protestant boys filling Target full of holes in Holstein.
    4. The Tsar is offering a cool 20 million sterling for most of Sweden's Baltic Provences plus a 20 percent reduction in the Swedish military.
    5. The Mad Mufti of the Crimea is in Constantinople, no doubt calling for Jihad after the recent raid into Poland.

    Ref the £20M offer for Sweden's Baltic Provences I have never played Sweden or Russia so purely out of interest does anyone know what the Baltic States are worth in terms of Population & Tax revenue at the start of the game?

    I guess the tax revenue may vary a lot since a very big chunk of the revenue will be on Polish & Russian Transit trade. So if Russian trade revenue via the Baltic goes up to say £20M a year and the Swedes are taking 20% in customs, £20M from the Czar's coffers may only be equal to 5 years payments.

    Of course the Czar and the Lithuanians could always send their trade south and avoid paying the Swedes but that means paying the Ottomans & in G8 the Mad Mufti. I have noticed that the Russians do not seem to like this either.

    Yes please Jason. I've put my email address as a private message and again, many thanks. I think I'll have to look at buying a printer and doing my turns via electronic post. I'll need one when I start my degree next month anyway.

    Degree is a BSc (hons) in natural science. Year one is a standard syllabus but in year two and three i'd like to focus on astrology, cosmology and planetary science (as opposed to Earth sciences).
