PE-QS-Diplo [BilboBaggins]: Gaia blind attack on a hobbit
Date:Thu, 25 Sep 2003 02:19:22 +0000

Gaia has unwarrentedly attacked my peaceful nation and has taken a
territory that is rightfully Hobbiton's.  Her treachery, not seen
since Gollum crawled the face of Middle Earth, cannot go unopposed. 
Anyone that think Gaia should be removed by her roots and dried in the
sun is welcomed to join in.

PE-QS-Diplo [Ecologist]: Hobbiton's deception
Date:Thu, 25 Sep 2003 02:24:59 +0000

My scientific investigation and control strategy of Tookbank stemmed
from a required management action aimed at stemming the an alarming
build-up of population density of hobbits in the region adjacent to
Ecotone - clearly, the existing habitat of Tookbank could no longer
support such high concentrations of hobbits, and all ecological theory
suggested they were preparing to migrate to new, exposed habitat (why
else would they build up such vast herds on my borders?). Premptive
wildlife management commonly the most efficent cause of long-term
population management...

PE-QS-Diplo [Maverick]: Tree Huggers
Date:Thu, 25 Sep 2003 03:29:09 +0000

from Maverick of the Wild Wild West to leaders of QS

It would appear that 328 Tree Huggers from Gaia driving into Tookbank
with a fleet of Hummers would cause a lot more pollution than a third
of that number of little rustic Hobbit characters. That's at least
what my trusty Cherokee scouts have told me. They also tell me there
are a whole lot of trails criss-crossing Tookbank and quite a few of
those little halflings running here and there all the time. I would
think those Tree Huggers would be a lot better off with horses and a
more even distribution of their population, but I'm just an ole cow
poke who needs to unfurl my bed roll and put out the fire.

Persian troops are preparing to march on the independent regions D-16
and D-230. If your explorers should connect to either of these
regions, please respect the claims I have on them

PE-QS-Diplo [BilboBaggins]: No Deception, just security
Date:Thu, 02 Oct 2003 14:23:50 +0000

And obviously not enough security with a neighbor like Gaia.

Gaia tries to hide her vicious assult becuase I had
tried to safely guard my borders.  The amount of
hobbits stationed at that shire was being distributed
between the 3 connectiong borders that lie at that
side of Hobbiton.  Obviously, there wasn't enough
Hobbits there to repell (over 350 tree forms) such a
legion of foul simple-cell life forms.  Everyone
should know that you have left the rest of your world
very weak to throw all that you did at me.  May the
war of your ways be of Justice unto you Gaia.

Bilbo 'the benevolent' Baggins

PE-QS-Diplo [Ecologist]: Hobbit hypocrisy
Date:Thu, 02 Oct 2003 22:35:34 +0000

Oh high-and-mighty Bilbo, and what of your vicious and *unprovoked*
and relentless attack on the smaller nation of Donatello? Where were
your peaceful intentions then? Persia may very well have had a
rightful reason in launching their war, but for you to start nipping
at the tail end was a bit cowardly. And to then have the hypocrisy to
complain vociferously and attempt to call in the help of others when
you have the "misfortune" of fighting a considerably *smaller* nation
than yourself? I new hobbits were small of body, but aren't they also
supposed to be stout of heart?

PE-QS-Diplo [Jon Snow]: war
Date:Fri, 03 Oct 2003 17:02:27 +0000

Ecologist of Gaia,
If you had no existing treaty with Bilbo and saw that he has been busy
fighting Donatello and decided to expand your nation and gain some
production then there is no dishonor in attacking him.  Trying to
create excuses for your hostility and spreading lies IS dishonorable
though.

Donatello was once the biggest nation in this world.  After I first
began my war with Balthazar, Donatello attacked me without warning and
came to the aid of the demonic hordes.  Maverick and Bilbo bravely
chose to fight along with me.  They focused their efforts on the large
Donatello while I focused on Balthazar.  They were in the thick of
things from the very beginning.  Other nations joined into the
fighting at various times and their aid was welcomed.  Through
cooperation and valiant fighting we emerged victorious and helped to
rid the world of Balthazar's nation of demon spawn and his ally
Donatello.  All three of our nations were hoping to let our troops
return to their homes to spend time with their families and friends
and get some well-deserved rest but that seems rather impossible now.

You claim that you are considerably smaller than Bilbo but according
to the last news report you two had the exact same number of troops. 
You were also only 2 production behind Bilbo but with your large army
coming in on a sneak attack I would assume you will be larger and have
more production very soon.

If you were sneak-attacked you would certainly make your case known to
the world and ask for help, so please abandon your rediculous
arguement that Bilbo should not do the same and your lie that you are
the smaller nation.

Bilbo is my friend and ally and I will indeed come to his aid.  You
may consider any borders you have with me to be hostile.

Winter is coming,
Jon Snow

PE-QS-Diplo [Bane]: Intentions
Date:Fri, 03 Oct 2003 20:42:56 +0000

All

I must make a comment on the war between Bilbo Baggins and Gaia. 
First off I have had friendly conversations with both nations.  With
that I would not be a good example speaking out against Gaia's attack
of Bilbo Baggins.  I cannot comment of this because, I joined forces
with Jon Snow to attack Balthazar without explicitly announcing my
intentions.  With that said, attacking for the sake of expansion is
perfectly normal.  However, trying to rationalize the attack by saying
it was a preventive measure to keep him from attacking you was the
wrong way to go about it.  Apparently Bilbo had good reason to attempt
to secure his borders from Gaia. 

Finally, I would like to announce my intentions to the world.  After
Turn 45, the non-aggression treaty between Gaia and Bane will have
expired and I intend to help Bilbo Baggins in anyway that I can.

May the moons be full and bright forever.
Bane
