Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between khobius and Senile One.

A secret message has leaked! One Leader reportedly sent this message to another:

Emissaries of Ainokar carry this message to all:

I publicly support Senile One in his conflict with FFM

Emissaries of Taurus carry this message to all:

Taurus of the Covenant is now announcing His magestic support of Senile One.

FFM's offer to talk seems a little weak ... considering his leaked message saying 'With only two borders left, I may re-start things if I have backing of the alliance.' Let's see some real sincere response, not this 'Whoops - I better get some big friends to help me!'
