in the middle ages, tarned bark from trees was used as paper back then. most of the scrolls and parchments you'd find were scribed on animal hides or something durable, on account of the preceeding actions of Karakaze, you'd see why they did this.

Parchments IS animal hide.
But even if the plans are on parchment then the ink would be washed off.

So what's this turning into? The war of all kingdoms?

Look, Pirates got blown up, in my opinion, unfairly. Hey, it's role-playing, you have to make do with what you have. So instead of me complaining I'm going to play this scenario out. Dustari are not cruel heartless bastards despite what you think, so we are going to go help the Pirates to some extent while they rebuild our ship.

Now, just because we are helping the Pirates, oh no! Samurai thinks we have stabbed them in the back. I don't understand the logic behind this, considering the fact that you yourselves are defending from an impending Troupe attack and we have been reasonably strong allies before this incident.

So it seems as if Zormite, Samurai and KT are all allied against Pirates?

((I hope when you said you werent cruel heartless bastards that it was in character heh))

Actually... you are wrong.
About the pirates,
they brutally slaughtered one of my men and when I demanded an immediate apology, and the punishment of death to the Pirate who did this atrocious thing, their Captain only replied,
"It was a dustari who held him up against the wall."
I naturally did not believe him, thinking Dustari were great allies.
Then Dustari basically allies with Pirate Crew,
whether or not officially on a legal document.
And if you think we were preparing to defend ourselves from the Troupe, than you are wrong their too. The whole time that we were allied with you we were also allied with the Troupe. The whole time we were allied with you we were also allied with Zormite. Did you not think for one moment that this was peculiar?
No. You did not think anyone would dare have their loyalties and friendships lie elsewhere than to your throne. You didn't think the alliances were because we were closely allied. You apparently thought our alliances with everyone was because we wanted to maintain peace with everyone and remain nuetral. You forget where I come from. You... forget who I am. You didnt think allying with Pirates would mean anything to anyone. Unfortunatly it did. You upset the balance, and now you will pay dearly.

KT and Samurai are allies. I wish only death to the fishpeople.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
whatever, I wasnt saying you were allied with the,
i said were allied with you,
and we were allied with them,
although I dont really have an opinion on them,
but would be rather glad if they gave me a bajillion gralats.

Eh? Zormite CAN'T ally with KT, since once again...

DUSTARI OWNS ZORMITE

Maybe Zormite as the the entity "Dustarian-Owned-Zormite"
cannot rebel or ally against Dustari, but the people,
the Zormites as a race, can.

Balance of power was fine before the bombing of the PC, in fact, I believe that your attempt to play Metternich has failed, because now we don't have to worry about the Pirates coming after us, hence it has made us stronger. Yet, just because we choose to help Pirates rebuild their ship does not mean we are allied with them.

im not sure who made this up but pirate crew never even had any airship plans.. ghost said he despises the idea x_x apparently some other kingdom just put them there

i dun like airship either!

*once again wishes he had never recruited such a poor gaurd like Zoogi, who would betrey his kingdom as such.*

what exactly did he do anyway

Ignorant fools, Pirates don't belong in the clouds, they belong on the waves.

Funny, Vamp said that KT will pay for what they did, yet today he wished to join KT ;)
