The HILL RPG

[Dimos]

I'll have to go back to my boat. Your north winds are not forgiving...

I fish A7.

Status: 9/10 Hp, +2 defence, +1 attack, 2 axes. Chainmail, Leather armor, shield 1/2, 24 Gold.

1 castle at Dimohill, 1 house at Dimopolis and docks at Dimopolis. 1 Ship at A7.
I own the farmlands of Jimbobland, Khanville and Austrabia.
I have in my possesion the books:

Nomoi Autokratorikoi

His Majesty, Dimos, King and Emperor of Dimohillia, Duke of Dimopolis and Conqueror of Jimbobalnd, declares that:

1: The King has the power to negotiate, execute and aproove treaties. If the King accepts it, his vassals can also do that job as special consulants of Dimohillia abroad.

2: Each traitor is punished with the penalty of death. Traitors are the most dangerous to the public order so they must be removed! b) If national security reasons impose it, the King and his advisors can transform the penalty to 2-8 turns of enslavement and removal of arms and peerage titles.

3: If the King dies, but his vassals win over a battle, the heir of his gains access to his belongings instantly. Denial from a vassal to give to the heir his heritage from the King is considered mutiny and it's punished likewise as in the article 2. If a player that is enemy of the Kingdom of Dimohillia dies and the loot the Dimohillians get is by ''last will'' to be inherited to a third person, outside of the Kingdom of Dimohillia: a) If the third player an ally Dimohillia, but not a vassal of it, he pays a tax of 1/3 or 1/2 of the money to the Kingdom of Dimohillia as a toll. b) If he's neutral towards Dimohilia he pays 1/2 or 2/3 of the money to the Kingdom of Dimohillia as a toll. c) Enemies are not allowed to inherit from Dimohilia loot. d) Weapons are forbiden to be exported from Dimohillia or be sold to others, unless all of the vassals and the King himself accept such an act. In case that weapons are exported they cost less than new ones.   

4: All religions are free, because the Empire of Dimohillia is a Secular State in which religious tolerance is total. Crimes against religion will be punished according to severity with removal of arms for 4 turns to enslavement for 2 turns. People who wish to serve Dimohillia as Priests, Bishops or Acolytes of ''the Creator'' or ''Corranos the Hunter'' , or any other religion will be paid 1 coin per round. Each man who preaces a new, unknown religion must submit 2-3 basic teachings of his faith. A 2-member comitee will decide if the new religious figure can be considered peaceful and be paid from the state coffers.

5: Taxes can be imposed in ordinary circumstances every 5 turns, and they can't be more than the 50% of the gains of each of the labourers of the Kingdom. Taxes will be different for poor and rich. Rich pay more, poor pay less. In case of War, Rebelion or any other unholy Catastroph, the King can impose extra taxes on the subjects, even in 100% of their income. Denial of payment of a tax is considered mutiny and it's punished as the article 2 suggests.

6: Thiefs, Bandits or Rebels can be killed by the army; or enslaved. They are to be enslaved, only after the aprooval of all the King's advisors/vassals.

 The tale of the Island

Introduction: It's a great secret, that Dimos, the Imperial Majesty of Dimohillia, Prince of San Vadero and Duke of Dimopolis descends from an island.
1. This island was called Dimohill and it was inhabited by all the nobles of the HILL lands.
2. Five Generations before it was ruled by Dimoric, King of the HILLIANS. Gavilanius and Vaderus were his vassals.
3. Gavilanus left the island in search for gold, for the life in the island was rough. One generation later Vaderus went in the Woods and he became a Saint of the religion of the Creator.
4. Vaderus descendants became pagan, and disgraced his name.
5. The age of great Ice came in the island. Thus Johannus, grandfather of King Dimos came on foot to the mainland. He founded the sacred city of Dimopolis, where he flourished again.
6. LEGEND has it that one day, a descendant of Dimoric will return to claim his ancestral lands.
7. LET THAT BE SOON.
8. I did it, for my ancestor's shake! [EDITED by Dimos, Emperor of All Hillia.]

I would like to advise you not to try to land in Jimbobland, I am the one who slayed its old overlord, I don't wanna slay his fellow conspirator in that filthy place. Let each of us remain behind their borderline, at least for now.

[Cuddly Khan]

This is starting to get repetitive. We should end it on round 40.

[Ladyhawk]

Or just declare war and see who wins

[Captain Carthage]

I'm thinking final great war that should be fun.

[Dimos]

Well, I'm afraid the NATURE of the game is warlike. I stated that from the begining that the player or group of players to remain standing once all enemies are defeated will be victorious. I've never putted a time limit. Although it might be for my good to say yes to round 40, I will have to refuse that on the basis that it's against the rules. Now, there are 3 states existing... Gavilan, Dimohillia and the lonely Death Nade. I think the end might be far away from now...

My proposal is to join together and win together. I might lack the numbers, but I have experience of many battles around the map.

ps: I also inform you that once only one state will exist, its members will have to endure united for 5 rounds each lasting for half or one day. That's simply to show that this state has continuation... It's too unrealistic to have 1 state on the ''world'' but Dimos' map of the HILL is just a small place. Souls of the fallen have settled elsewhere [*chills metaphysically*]; that's where they dominate the eternal winters! ... 

[Cuddly Khan]

...Just up to 40.

[Dimos]

Round 34, Ended.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

During the last turn Death Nade remained innactive, again. He's at C9 and has 10 coins. Dimos is at A7 and he has 26 coins. The Khan is at Nightangelia and he has 4 coins. He build some docks. Ladyhawk has 26 coins (now) and she's at Ladyhawkville. A peace treaty between Dimohillia and Gavilan was signed for 6 turns. Now it's the third turn of the treaty bering in effect. Let's see what's about to happen next!

PS: Khan, you can always abandon the game. It will be changing the rules, if I allowed round 40 to be the end of it... I may wish it (as a player I am not in any alliances etc) but I don't think I can do it(as a moderator, I must follow the rules)...

[Cuddly Khan]

I buy a boat.

Status: 4/10 Hp, 1 Axe, Chainmail, and a shield, 2 Gold, a House, Manor, a boat and Docks at Nightangelia and farming there too.

[Dimos]

Ow! You are a ''child of the sea'' aren't you? You can't stay away from it, can you? But remember I found a secret line from the oldest HILLian poem, contained in ''The tale of the island'' that says: ''From sea hath cometh the greatest evil amongst men. / Searpent of the sea is War, Lord of the sea bed he is!''

Again I hope Jimbobland is safe from your sacriligious goals.

ps: I wish we could stop the game a bit because I am planning to launch a MAFIA style game soon...
