[20.06.2019 15:13:54] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Greetings.
[20.06.2019 15:14:03] Simon.Landauer: Greetings
[20.06.2019 15:18:47] Simon.Landauer: Been a while to see CR guys around these parts
[20.06.2019 15:21:20] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Our priorities are shifting somewhat. How are you holding up with the IMG mess in Bretonnia?
[20.06.2019 15:22:53] Simon.Landauer: Pretty messy. We lost a lot of bases, now they put bounties on miners in Omega 3
[20.06.2019 15:23:38] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: I dare say that the IMG leadership is kind of to blame for that.
[20.06.2019 15:23:56] Simon.Landauer: Feels like we are transforming into Mollies mk2
[20.06.2019 15:24:41] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Would be good to see IMG and Bretonia settle their differences peacefully.
[20.06.2019 15:25:06] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: You're also putting the Crayter Republic into a dilema
[20.06.2019 15:25:25] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Siding with Gallia is the worst mistake IMG could make.
[20.06.2019 15:25:44] Simon.Landauer: Nah, with these Gauls around, we cant afford to be peaceful with Bretonia. We cant afford to llose another bases
[20.06.2019 15:26:24] Simon.Landauer: We just want to mine peacefully, yknow
[20.06.2019 15:27:08] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: I think you could have had that if you had just handed over the shipyard under non violent protest
[20.06.2019 15:28:58] Simon.Landauer: Well, after what they did to Cardiff, It's been pretty sour in our mouth
[20.06.2019 15:29:48] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: It was foolish of your leaders to go into violent conflict. What did they expect?
[20.06.2019 15:30:28] Simon.Landauer: We could have helped them, but they came in their Nationalizing bulldrek
[20.06.2019 15:31:01] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: You would have gotten the shipyard back after the war
[20.06.2019 15:31:24] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: And didnt they also offer more mining rights in return?
[20.06.2019 15:31:41] Simon.Landauer: I dont think the war will end withBretonia winning
[20.06.2019 15:32:08] Simon.Landauer: Hah, they'll definitely hand the right to BMM
[20.06.2019 15:32:30] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: I wouldnt be so sure about Bretonia losing.
[20.06.2019 15:32:53] Simon.Landauer: What makes you say so?
[20.06.2019 15:33:05] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Liberty has awakened, and Gallia has rouses a sleeping giant.
[20.06.2019 15:33:50] Simon.Landauer: Fine point
[20.06.2019 15:34:26] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: With Bretonia, Liberty, Crayter, Outcasts, the Maquis, and the Council all fighting Gallia, they are bound to overstretch their
[20.06.2019 15:34:28] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: forces
[20.06.2019 15:36:03] Simon.Landauer: Well, the opposition has their own allies too, like Corsairs
[20.06.2019 15:36:53] Simon.Landauer: And some of us, who got too tired get fire in between
[20.06.2019 15:36:58] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: The Corsairs don't seem very invested in this fight. In the end, nobody really wants to live under Gallic rule
[20.06.2019 15:37:52] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Not with the pungeant aroma of lunacy that emanates from the Gallic Crown
[20.06.2019 15:39:22] Simon.Landauer: I agree that their actions have been lunatic, but I cant really blame them for their urgent resource problem
[20.06.2019 15:39:58] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Resource problem? HOw does that justify this horrible war?
[20.06.2019 15:40:00] Simon.Landauer: They'll decay if they dont break their isolation
[20.06.2019 15:40:24] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: There's a better way of breaking isolation than invasion.
[20.06.2019 15:41:09] Simon.Landauer: If they tried diplomacy then they are just Council under different banner
[20.06.2019 15:41:32] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Wouldn't be a bad thing.
[20.06.2019 15:41:44] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: What's wrong with the Council?
[20.06.2019 15:43:14] Simon.Landauer: Nothing, but I dont think the monarchy would lower themselves by making action similar to their archenemy
[20.06.2019 15:45:23] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: I consider them being a great deal lower than that already.
[20.06.2019 15:45:26] Simon.Landauer: Years of isolation and unwatched technology advancement must have developed some kind of superiority syndrome among them
[20.06.2019 15:46:06] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: More like a hunger for power, and the fear of losing it.
[20.06.2019 15:50:20] Simon.Landauer: Aah, I'm running out of counters. We just want to mine in neutrality with nearby officials. It's just that Gallic gave us no
[20.06.2019 15:50:29] Simon.Landauer: choice
[20.06.2019 15:51:27] Simon.Landauer: Everything wont be the same with Bretonia after what happened lately
[20.06.2019 15:51:50] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Why would Gallia be more upset by Bretonia confiscating an IMG shipyard than they are with IMG trading with Bretonia
[20.06.2019 15:52:04] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Did the crown actually threaten anything?
[20.06.2019 15:53:45] Simon.Landauer: Not much, but Im sure they wont give back Aland after what happened to Southampton
[20.06.2019 15:54:32] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Bretonia is sure to rebuild a shipyard in London after the war.
[20.06.2019 15:54:46] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: They need to rebuild their economy.
[20.06.2019 15:56:18] Simon.Landauer: But its going to be a long time. We need a safe haven to guard us against blackened eyes officials during that time
[20.06.2019 15:57:01] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Well your leaders achieved the oposite of a safe haven.
[20.06.2019 15:57:55] Simon.Landauer: If Gallic are defeated, Im sure they'll occupy our Tau Bases. We will be out of bases before that
[20.06.2019 15:59:25] Simon.Landauer: We play the game of power. Side by whoever the strongest of the time.
[20.06.2019 15:59:39] Simon.Landauer: Like it or not
[20.06.2019 16:00:18] Simon.Landauer: Scummy, I know
[20.06.2019 16:00:52] Simon.Landauer: That's why our Tau bases arent smoldering wrecks now
[20.06.2019 16:01:53] Simon.Landauer: Maybe I'll just evacuate to Omega. Stuff are a lot better there.
[20.06.2019 16:01:53] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Now your bases in Bretonia are screwed.
[20.06.2019 16:02:56] Simon.Landauer: Yeah, but we will do something before this war ends
[20.06.2019 16:03:09] Simon.Landauer: Something unexpected
[20.06.2019 16:03:17] Simon.Landauer: you'll see
[20.06.2019 16:03:23] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Like what?
[20.06.2019 16:04:51] Simon.Landauer: Confidential. We cant really trust you guys. Sorry.
[20.06.2019 16:05:09] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Does that mean it will be bad for us?
[20.06.2019 16:05:36] Simon.Landauer: No. it wont affect you.
[20.06.2019 16:05:49] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: Bad for bretonia?
[20.06.2019 16:06:11] Simon.Landauer: Anyway good talks, I'll go to Omegas for some Rheinbier
[20.06.2019 16:06:20] Simon.Landauer: Confidential
[20.06.2019 16:07:17] =CR=ISE-Ashanti: If even independents know about it, it can't be that big a secret.
