Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen of the Siamese Court,
It is my distinct pleasure to announce that HRH King Mongkut, the Lord over our Heads, the King of Sima, has returned from his spiritual retreat. Enlightened by the wisdom of the great gurus of our time, and vitalized by his restful retreat, it is all but certain that His Majesty will have bold plans for the betterment of the Kingdom and its peoples. Although we are respected throughout the world for our wealth, culture, wisdom, virtue, and courage, His Majesty knows that to rest upon our laurels is to invite decadence, sloth, avarice, and ruin into our great land. Let us all vow to follow the example of our King, and bend every sinew to the cause of the Kingdom.
His Excellency, Phraya Anand Chatewi, Royal Chancellor of the Kingdom of Sima
That aside, I am just letting everyone know that the Kingdom of Sima is now under a new player's control. This is my first PBEM game, so we'll see how quickly I drive this thing into the ground.
I know diplomacy is conducted in game, with an appropriate time delay, but just wanted to let everyone know that their previous relationships have just been reset, because I have zero knowledge of past dealings/conflicts/agreements that the Kingdom may have had in the past. I will of course honour all currently existing formal agreements, but I simply do not know about anything that isn't in force right now, or that may have been arranged informally.
Also, as a matter of pure practicality, I live in Western Canada, so anyone not in the New World can expect a minimum 24h turnaround on out of game communications.
