WP-09-Diplo [UniNet]: The damn game ate my Capital!! Date:Wed, 13 Apr 2011 22:37:38 +0000 To reply, log in at http://www.websofpower.com/?Page=Login or use your newspaper form.

Despite the recent notes regarding the crisis generator thing, I think this is but part of the game... I don't like it sometimes, but I've seen the results go the other way too. I believe OFF LIMITS, the former Capital for David, was basically lost due to a region crisis cutting off his supply line. And I'm guessing it will again be the site for a rather large battle in the very near future... Anyway, this message is obviously out of character - but my backup systems are now working, and my coast into the playoffs has completed. It's time to get some normalcy back into my life, so this time I'm really going to reboot the character again! :-) Not quite sure where I'm going yet, but it'll be along the same lines I've followed from the beginning... Anyway, just could NOT let the game eating my Capital go without comment! Ivan WP-09-Diplo [Ben Franklin]: Ivan upgraded to the Cloud?

We cannot tell if it's a genuine intercept, or a hacker spoof. We remain on the alert for profitable trading opportunities and on guard against hostile takeover threats.
