American Spaniard Contention - Official US Statement

[Most Lee Harmless]

I'm sure others may be thinking the same thing that I am : if Spain is, and from my own experience always was, amenable to transferring ports : and the USA wished to expand : why did it not simply ask? Dunno, call me naive, but that might have been a lot cheaper than dumping over 1.5billion into influence in ports that the USA says it never wanted to force an agreement to transfer the ones it does.

must have missed that business strategies class : I didnt miss the one that said acquiring assets that cost more to maintain than they produce in increased income was not very clever : Currently, the USA must spend all its total port tax income just to service the daily influence bleed on the ports that it, apparently, doesnt even want. Here's a thought : if Spain do nothing, the USA will slowly bankrupt itself holding on to what it doesnt want, but must keep until Spain accepts it can have what it does want and somehtign which it could have had, just for the asking.

I have long admired Mr Rothschild's business acumen, and they way he has leveraged the banking business into a viable playing model, providing the foundations for both a vibrant nation and guild : but in this case, its more Enron than JP Morgan....

[Mr. Rothschild]

Yes, Spain has always claimed to be pro diversity and port sharing and perhaps at one time they truly were. However, many port hungry players moved their way into its ranks and since then Spain has always had internal conflict and disagreement among its council. AYES lost its control and influence over Spain, and perhaps now those against its original ideals will step down and arrangements made.

I never expect anyone to understand my strategies, is that not the point? They have worked on many occasions and I don't doubt them now.

Smoke and mirrors, matey : have to be careful not to blind yourself with them too.

[Admiral Nelson]

Ask not of whom the bell tolls for...

[Most Lee Harmless]

Now, Mr Rothschild, that is exceedingly lame : first your hired guns fail to apply pressure to AYES Spanish members, I write you a strong warning note and lo, 200mil population gets eaten by rats in my port of Regis : the amount of coincidences around these days never cease to amaze me...

[Mr. Rothschild]

And there's the smoke, Danik accusing and creating propaganda to drag himself into the mix.

[Most Lee Harmless]

i got dragged into it by your hired guns hitting my guild: the plausable deniability card aint working there, mate.

addendum : When you hire mercenaries, you are responsible for all their actions, even the ones you didnt want them to do. maybe you should dock their pay : good luck with that

[ChaIbaud]

It seems that I've fallen off of all of your shoulders and am stuck on the ground. Can anyone help me out?

[Most Lee Harmless]

Are you Norwegian, and blue? In which case... worry not, you are merely pining for the fjords...
