The reason I asked about general population levels, Edena, is that it</p><p> seems as though the Commonwealth is going to be a Democracy -- even one with racial quotas! </p><p></p><p> As we all know, government under a Democracy can be likened to two wolves and a sheep voting on</p><p> what is for dinner. I am curious to find whether, under this Commonwealth, I have the numbers to</p><p> qualify for being the two wolves -- or whether anyone else does! Until I know an answer to this</p><p> question, I cannot fully consider the Technomancy's Commonwealth proposal. I am guessing that</p><p> given the Humanoids quick breeding, starting general great numbers, and technological ability to feed</p><p> whatever number of humanoids we have, we are quite, quite numerous. But I'd like some more</p><p> specifics, if possible, about *relative* numbers. </p><p> ----------------------------</p><p> During this entire time, the humanoid delegate, who has kobold, orc, hobgoblin, and xvart blood running</p><p> through his veins, has been silent . . . considering.</p><p></p><p> He begins to speak.</p><p></p><p> Well . . . . </p><p></p><p> *cough*</p><p></p><p> You wish an answer, Queen?

You really need to relax a bit, boys. And girls. </p><p></p><p> My answer is that I do not believe that the Queen can control the mass of elvish troops that has</p><p> amassed to destroy us, and so it is pointless to even think about accepting her little deal. HOWEVER,</p><p> this is not a refusal. </p><p></p><p> If she can bring the leaders of the Elven forces to this conference, and get them to repent as she has</p><p> promised she can get them to repent, then yes, I will consider her offer. </p><p></p><p> For, you fools, all of you can prate on about this government or that government or whether this or</p><p> that race should be allowed to rule the world, but none of this changes the fact that the largest elven</p><p> fleet ever is about to pound the living hell out of our Home. </p><p></p><p> If we want peace, we MUST have a representative of this Fleet -- sorry, but I cannot take the word of</p><p> this walking corpse that she can stay the hand of a hundred thousand elves from ATTEMPTING to</p><p> wreak havoc on our world. </p><p></p><p> I ask the Chosen, who really should have known better, to extend an invitation to the head of these</p><p> fleets.

Posts: 135 | From: Chicago burbs | Registered: Nov 2001 | IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member Member # 1235 posted December 04, 2001 09:35 PM The Gnomish ambassador regards the emissary from Shadowdale (I must play this part out, I guess) and says: The initial sabotage against my people and our products was committed by elves, druids, and their allies. We suffered hundreds of deaths in this initial stage of attack. The elves and druids stepped up their attacks upon us, actually sending teams of mages and clerics in, sending strike teams in. The result was the destruction of many of our projects, the collapse of major buildings, and the deaths of several thousand of our people. We attempted to negotiate with the elves and druids to convince their leadership to halt this aggression, but it came to naught. We felt, at that point, that a retaliation was in order. A retaliation large enough and deadly enough to deter further attacks against us. In that retaliation, your son was killed. I wish to personally apologize for this, and apologize for the gnomish people. I am quite sure your son was totally innocent and uninvolved in the aforementioned sabotage, and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As restitution, we offer to resurrect your son, and we will offer an enormous sum in gold as repatriation. However, we will not allow our people to be brought before the courts of a foreign power, to face foreign judges, to stand trial for crimes committed. Nor do we acknowledge that we committed any crime: our retaliation was necessitated by the actions of saboteurs, and deterrent was necessary to our strategic interests. If you will accept my offer, we will resurrect your son, pay said enormous amount in gold, and we will then consider the matter settled. If you must insist that our people be tried in the courts of the Technocracy, and executed for crimes they did not commit, obviously we will not cooperate. The order to retaliate was given at the highest level, by our leadership. You would put our leadership on trial, and have them executed, because of the death of your son? We appreciate your grief, but what you propose is impossible as well as unreasonable. Our leadership will not acknowledge your claims: you would have to fight a war and take them alive, in order to try them in the courts of the Technocracy. And aren't we here to prevent war? Posts: 1566 | From: Michigan, United States | Registered: Jan 2001 | IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member Member # 1235 posted December 04, 2001 09:42 PM The phaerimm ambassador replies: We are very pleased that the eladrin accept our compromise offer. We hope that the human technocracy will accept, and that the others will follow. We never stated the sharn were animals, nor do we state such now. We recognize the sharn as standing with the dragons, the illithid, the githyanki, and the faerie, amongst others, as being greater than animals. I would like to point out that I, the phaerimm ambassador, have not engaged in visible harassment of another ambassador, or other such abuse, but have conducted myself with the dignity of my race. The sharn ambassador, however, has employed harassment and intimidation. The sharn ambassador has also involved an Outside power, which has no place in this forum, and encouraged this Outside power - Sigil - to utter threats and issue proclamations to all the rest of us. We condemn the sharn for this, and we hope the others present will appreciate the insincerity and duplicity of their ambassador, and we hope the assemblage will pay little heed to the words of the sharn. For they are false.

If a pin was dropped, which no pin is. Unfortunate, that. My answer is . . . All of the representatives lean forward, prick up their ears, and listen . . . My answer is . . . . . . . . . Boy, all you guys look so serious! You really need to relax a bit, boys. And girls. My answer is that I do not believe that the Queen can control the mass of elvish troops that has amassed to destroy us, and so it is pointless to even think about accepting her little deal. HOWEVER, this is not a refusal. If she can bring the leaders of the Elven forces to this conference, and get them to repent as she has promised she can get them to repent, then yes, I will consider her offer. For, you fools, all of you can prate on about this government or that government or whether this or that race should be allowed to rule the world, but none of this changes the fact that the largest elven fleet ever is about to pound the living hell out of our Home. If we want peace, we MUST have a representative of this Fleet -- sorry, but I cannot take the word of this walking corpse that she can stay the hand of a hundred thousand elves from ATTEMPTING to wreak havoc on our world. I ask the Chosen, who really should have known better, to extend an invitation to the head of these fleets. We shall see whether the Queen's word is as important as she thinks it is.

I must agree that the 'fact' sounds very much like a threat. Very few of the ambassadors here had even considered Sigil, let alone thought of it as a place of refuge. And the greater mass of beings on Toril would be unable to seek refuge in Sigil even if it were their desire. The reaction of Sigil so far leads me to wonder if they had some part in the events being discussed here." "Regardless, as ambassadors, all of our persons are considered sacrosanct. It was bad form for the sharn delegation to harass the phaerimm ambassador. I suggest a formal apology is required. If the sharn wish to have an equal say here, they must observe proper decorum." Valkys looks at Forrester and claps, adding in an amused tone, "I'm most impressed with your ability to dodge a commitment. However, it isn't going to work. I think the majority of the delegates agree that, should you agree to the Queen's terms and she fails to fulfill her part of the agreement, you would be released from the contract. Whether a representative of the Fleet appears here or not, you will be making the same decision. Stalling tactics are unacceptable at this point, as time grows shorter. *IF*, as I am beginning to suspect, you are not empowered to make such a decision by your government, perhaps this Court, Council, Conference, or whatever one wishes to call it, would be better of using the time you have requested to petition your government for a delegate who *is* empowered to enter into such an agreement with the elves." Valkys leans back in his seat, awaiting the responses from the other delegates.

Not that I like the idea of consorting with non-inhabitants of Toril, anyway. But just how powerful are you? (Edena? Also waiting for the relative population numbers ).

The Unseelie are at least as populous as the Seelie. And I *know* that you can find Unseelie on Toril, so we are also residents. Course... everyone was afraid of them. Anyone read the Mage Hound stuff by Cunningham? No author discussions, but since we're in a novel, we exist. Besides, the point Valkys brings is entirely valid. All you're doing is stalling. I admire the tactic, but it isn't going to save you from making the decision. Posts: 31 | Registered: Oct 2001 | IP: Logged[/OOC] [/QUOTE]
