Power's Edge: Testing/Development - International News for Turn 66

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    For a very long time I have been ready to end this game. I voted for a restart, and have in the past asked if there was any way to make a winning alliance. I would have joined your VA ages ago, and I told you so, but it was you and CA who was then in the process of attacking me. He backed off after I got the beter of him, but it seemed silly to be a part of an alliance with someone who had just attacked me. At the very best he was unable to follow what was going on, and so had no right to win, and that the worst he was hoping for some action and then gave up when he realized that I had broken through to his important territories. So then when this game has ground down to a very dull conclusion with the winners not being decided by who is the strongest, but, as you say, by who the losers least despise as they die, I send you a message saying that I want to end the game, and here are the ways I see it ending. You respond with silence. So do I wait until you deign to talk to me? You've always responded in the past, why the sudden silence now? Were you testing me? Well, lookee, I failed.

  • Emissaries of Spongy carry this message to all:
    I agree with Nevest and others. Let us restart.

  • Emissaries of eeee carry this message to all:
    CA attacked me, so I'll fight back. WB called me lots of bad things, so I guess he's on my list, too. :-) Spongy, shouldn't we go out with a blaze?

  • Emissaries of Warren Buffett RS carry this message to all:
    To all Small nations: You CAN help stop Spongy and EEEE from winning! Just expand as fast as possible. If the number of regions in the game increases, that hurts S&E and might let you play longer before we have to restart. Or, to restart ASAP, add 'RS' to
