PE-QS-Diplo [Hari Seldon]: Bane's Invasion
Date:Wed, 05 Nov 2003 17:01:29 +0000

Honorable Leaders of The World,

Bane, a nation twice my size both in term of production and army size,
now is invading me. May it be known that Bane and I have had friendly
diplomatic discussion and even have signed many turns ago a formal
peace treaty known in my part of the galaxy as a commercial and trade
agreement. Do my calculation misses something or is it a treacherous
leader taking advantage of his size? Bane himself and other leaders
are welcome to comment.

A special note to those who will say that is what I deserve for
attacking Monopoly. I would like to remind to them I have never had
any diplomatic discussion with that leader nor even mentioned a
possible treaty tying our nations. And let it be known that Monopoly
was fully aware of the situation since he was ready from the
beginning. Monopoly could confirm, but he might be afraid of sounding
too friendly with one of his favorite enemy in history...

Yours, in psycho-history, Hary Seldon

PS: Feedbacks, positive as well as negative, are welcome. If that is
the wish of the bigger ones not to accept me in their galaxy, maybe I
should consider moving away...

PE-QS-Diplo [Bane]: My attack of Hari Seldon
Date:Wed, 05 Nov 2003 17:12:33 +0000

Yes, I did have a formal peace treaty with Hari Seldon.  However, this
agreement ran out on turn 30.  The diplomatic council with Hari Seldon
took place in the middle of June.  Until recently, I had heard nothing
else.  

Recently, my council received word asking if I would either continue
me peace agreement or openly support the effort against Monoply.  I
decided that my response would be to support my alliance that Monoply
and thus I sent appropriate aid.

May the moons be full and bright forever.
Bane
