Press
Muslims – Byzantines: Eastern Orthodox vs. Western Demagoguery. How can we lose? You with me?
Muslims – Pisa: The infidel proves he is no true man if he takes his orders for the apostate in the Holy See.
Muslims – Venice: Are you also a girly-man infidel, taking orders from that man in the funny hat and long dress? I thought so.
Pias – Muslims & Byzantines: The Battle lines are drawn, the sides are even, and its time to start taking back what is ours.
Pisa – Venice & Papacy: Thanks for the help in eliminating the HRE, but I'm afraid our Alliance has come to an end. I must choose to side with the Muslims & Byzantines in this struggle for dominance. It was good working with you all.
Venice: Monday night, last minute orders, haven't heard from anyone all season, haven't written anyone, so much for diplomacy! Will do better next time I hope. Hope I guessed well.
