Greetings to all folk of Avonmora,
I am currently speaking to you from the Cabinet of Prote below you will see certain events that unfolded.
Day 3,417This be our day, originally we was going to wait a bit longer. But it is important to note, with Teach leaving the United States of America we saw an opportune moment to strike as he is/was one of the major investors of that nation. We did a surprise attack. A bold, cowardly surprise attack on two ports of theirs (Pania & Prote).
Then just to get another nation into the fry, or cause a distraction. We made Tokelau capture Gasp for the day after some brief influencing of the major stronghold that Tokelau had based there. We cast Conspiracy's on USA, Charity Donations on TKs main influence holder.
It be important to note at this time we was after Pania, the other ports was just a distraction. Why? It was near St.Martins and a possible strategic location for an attack upon the Channel Islands.
Day 3,418In the early morning, we was met with little resistance. We could see USA citizens screaming in terror, and that was just the buckets we was bringing to shore with us.
It was there our chief ambassador, Meliva handed the USA spokesman a letter of notice. Stating that, unless they were prepared to withdraw the remaining of their troops from Pania and contact us that they were going to. A state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now, no such action was taken. Channel Islands is now, at war with United States of America.
I do not believe, there is anything I could of done different. Except maybe, not attack Pania in the first place?
Anyhow, throughout the day 3,418 United States of America marines were teaming up and causing widespread pandemonium, annihilating our army based at Pania. In other words, they were slowly rising up their influence in Pania and casting Conspiracy's against us. They tried the same in Prote, however we managed to keep the port for another day.
At the end of the day, it was clear The United States of America had took both Pania and Gasp back, the citizens out behaving badly celebrating their beloved nations once return.
Despite their ports being reinstated, The United States Of America suffered heavy losses both on sea, to their ports and treasury's. Me being me, I summoned our voodoo goddess, she not only revealed where the players fleet was. But let my fleets and other peoples fleets get into battle with them, causing PlagueDoctor to lose a couple of fleets of SOTLs to that scallywag that was just passing by on his way to a Bermudan port, Zephore.
USA had lost Akrotiri to US Virgin Islands in a surprise attack.
This was when I had a feeling, we are not alone in this war. There was other nations, wanting to rule one of Avonmoras 21 ports. This in itself, meant the Untied States of America had to now fight on two fronts, should they wish to keep the ports. How can there be loads of nations, but only 21 ports, I am not sure! Maybe there be tribes out there thinking they belong to said nations. Lunatics!
Day 3,419It was technically the second day at war, we had fought hard. Pania was last, Prote was ours. Barely.
Meliva was giving me that look, that dirty wench. The look where you know somethings going to happen tonight.
The look of a PTSD nutjob, lads. Get your head out the gutter.
Today was going to be another day that would either make us or break us. Channel Island Supporters was given three tasks for the day.
Cause Harm to US Shipments: If we stopped, or harassed US Merchant Fleets it would deliver financial and morale losses to all involved in this war. A vast number of US Merchants, were attacked that day by not only our nations fleets, but it seemed like the whole of Avonmora's.
I saw a fleet on the Horizon, not knowing if it had evil intentions I signalled to my quartermaster to get the flag risen up. To avoid US Merchant fleets from discovering they be sailing into a trap - We had our flag lowered.
This was a dangerous move, but we would either get a boat riddled with cannon holes or get to discover who it was. As our flag raised, the fleet on the horizon carried on sailing... There it was, the flag was raising. Once fully out, I saw it. It be a flag of the Bermudans, it be Zephore again. Coincidence? I thought not. He was after Averson's war fleets.
We turned our vessel, I bet he thought we was going to fire upon him. Then I ordered the men to shoot in the direction of the war fleet, so they did. Zephore, the gormless layabout got the message, eventually.
Take Neapolis:
We was ordered to take Neapolis, it was an odd order seeing as we was after Pania. But then our plotter stated the reason why, and we all looked at each other and grinned, like a orgy. Meliva come forward and said "I will take it, I'll have to won't I. Nelsons on Prote".
I thought, bloody cheek of her, I am king after all. But knowing women are hell, I didn't say anything.
She seemed to uphold her end of the bargain, and by the end of the day. Neapolis was ours.
Keep Prote:
We was ordered to hold Prote, again our plotter stated it was a key bit of land for the USA members. Me being the pushover I was, I did just that.
The plotter was right, we was met with fierce resistance at Prote. We managed to hold it for another day. The cost? My pension fund. Thought to myself, will just have to withdraw it from the treasury, claim its for future defences and pocket it for myself.
Channel Islands did a few more things, but that can not be mentioned...
What happens with the buckets, is our business.
Day 3,420We gathered around the table again, to be given orders by our plotter.
We was ordered to hold Prote & Neapolis another day. Whilst causing devastation against the US merchant fleets.
Not much happened throughout the days, we plundered US Individuals none of their fleets was lost but their income was.
But not much was done, or heard from the United States of America.
Day 3,421Here I am, waiting...
