We'll just having a laugh.

I think untill most/all evil has been detroyed within our borders Bretonnia and the Empire just have to join forces. Fighting eachother will only make it worse. Afterwards we still can get a look at our differences, but first things first.

Friendly regards

Veldemere said YES or NO, this wasn't the discussion end.  If you say yes, I counted yes, if you said no, I counted no.  That being said it's now 15-5.

FVC has agreed to this term to be added to the agreement:

4.3 The proportion of the Imperial peasant population owing allegiance directly to a Bretonnian noble under the dual fief system must not at any time exceed 30% of the total peasant population of the Great Forest

This is great for the Empire!   This would provide ample opportunity for Bretonnian nobles to settle, and will also ensure that the number of Bretonnians nobles/knights settled within the Great Forest will not grow large enough to threaten the security of the Empire sometime in the future.

Could somebody add this to the agreement on the first page please (only if nobody objects).

Oh, by the way with the additional term above my vote has changed to a definite YES!

Isn't it 17-5? Your previous post said 15-5? So 15+2 vs 5, not?

I vote for it.

Now it's 18-4.

And the latest clause is completely ridiculous, callous, and I think it is an insult to Bretonnian honour, as well as Imperial might. I am voting yes on the alliance, but I do so with ill feeling towards the truly stereotypically Imperial behavior of CaptScott.

To FVC: I humbly apologize for the behaviour of CaptScott, even though I cannot speak for him. You, and the Round Table as a whole, have been more than fair, and I regret the insult done to you, whether you feel it is an insult or not.

Aren't we supposed to act in a stereotypical Imperial fashion here?   :icon_razz:

However, given that they are willing to accept limitations upon the number of Bretonnians that settle in our lands, I will still change my vote to yes if the change is actually implemented or not (yet is seems obvious that the additional term will be in the Empires best interest)

No need; I took no offense. How can I blame a person for arguing what they actually believe to be in the best interests of the Empire? I'm just glad a solution could be found.

Was it an insult to Bretonnian honour? Perhaps. But I would be acting in a stereotypically Bretonnian manner if I took umbrage over that. Arrogance and pomposity are two of the worse Bretonnian qualities, and this is no place for them.

Empire's best interest, maybe. But rather unnecessary for a variety of reasons.

And as far as I can tell... Stereotypes aren't good things... and most people on this site are not coming to this campaign with a stereotypically Imperial attitude. Which is why I found it ludicrous.

I vote Yay.

I'd rather Humanity watch its own back than rely on the intervention of capricious elder races to do the job.  We've worked together with our neighbors on many occasions, not to mention the great liberation of Estalia.

Also if they start to settle on our frontier they might actually discover lager and coffee and become real men  :biggriin:

After a longer conversation with my consultants, i´ve come to the conclusion to ally with the bretonian forces.
Even though the pact is on some points not quite what i´d imagine about perfect, but they are Humans like us, proud men of the empire. No strange Aliens, we can't really count on because we ´re not able to certainly assess them. Bretons are bound to their honour code, so they are unlikely to betray us in comparison to other allies.

Therefore Yay!  :biggriin:

And who knows, maybe you'll get a taste of some real wine and figure out what honour is, eh?

Also, coffee? Do you even have that? I know in the real world coffee came from Africa, and while the Empire does have dealings with Warhammer-pseudo-Africa, the Southlands, through Arabyan traders and other sources, I can't imagine it being a staple drink. It might be common in Sudenburg, it might even be beginning to filter into the great cities of the Empire, but it's hardly iconic.

Yay!


Alright, i'm declaring this poll officially CLOSED! By a majority, the Generals who are enrolled in Helstroms 4th are hereby in Alleigance with the Brettonian forces under the contract agreed upon.

If someone could make a pretty version of it i'll post it up as a sticky in the thread i'll make for it soon.

Thanks Jerok

I say that is a motion carried in favour. The final result of 23-4 is a conclusive result.

FVC have the round table voted on it (if you need to)?

@brynjolf, Wiss was right with his maths, it was 15-5, then Papabear and Rocky voted yes (17-5), but the post before was CaptScott changing his vote from no to yes (18-4)

Very well then.  Let's cement this alliance with some marriage treaties.  I'll trade you Bretons some of the Kass Family's St. Pauli girls for some Damsels for my sons. Preferrably ones without The Bear's Anger.

I know this isn't strictly on topic, but it did remind me of an awesome quote:
Quote from: Frederick the Great - 1777
"It is disgusting to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects, and the amount of money that goes out of the country as a consequence. Everybody is using coffee; this must be prevented. His Majesty was brought up on beer, and so were both his ancestors and officers. Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the King does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be relied upon to endure hardships in case of another war."

Wait, coffee is all anyone drinks these days! Coffee is the true Messiah!

What's that you say? Coffee is NOT all anyone drinks? People drink other things? People drink WHAT?
people drink water? How could people drink water? Let me guess, they also drink other disgusting things! What? GUANO?? They drink bat crap?

*very small voice* No sir, it's guarine, not guano, and it's in energy drinks.... and I think the Mace of Moderation is coming down, you should renounce your claims of coffee being the Messiah...

Never! Coffee is MY god, I don't know about you heathens....

Public votes aren't our thing, but the Council has approved it. We accept it and are quite ready to make it official.
