From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

  • HippyJoe's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their Regions!

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Gordon and Frodo.
  • A secret message has leaked! One Leader reportedly sent this message to another:
    Aitrus;

  • The news is astonishing; you requested not one but two other nations to attack cities I so carefully discovered and built!?!?! How can this be??? Those were our people there; why would you forsake them! I can offer you no further information until I understand this situation, except that I believe Kelly to be an honorable man!

  • Guildmaster A'Gaeris

  • **************************************************

  • Aitrus;

  • You bastard! This isn't what I was told to expect! I haven't been tortured, beaten, anything... I still don't trust these guys - I was expecting to be executed after that meal and give pen and paper for my previous message... I'm still couped up, but being treated well - but I still want to know when I can come home!!!

  • Regarding any intelligence; I have been given nothing, and from where I am kept can see nothing...

  • Diplomatically; well, those last leaked messages have only placed the Scorpions on a heightened alert...

  • Veovis

  • **************************************************

  • Leader Aitrus;

  • My name is Mary Schaffer. I have been with your wife since the Gemedet Incident. Allow me to assure you she is being treated well!

  • She will be returned, no matter our diplomatic situation, as soon as the airways between our Organizations become clear.

  • She looks forward to her return home, and misses you very much.

  • Mary

  • **************************************************

  • Aitrus;

  • Your wife will be returned. When will be determined by you!

  • When the airways are safe, and Everyone NFZ is fully established. I will not chance such a diplomatic prize to the fortunes of war. When it is safe, when the fighting is over, when we have a peace. I would hope you would want no less for your wife...

  • K. Johnson

  • A secret message has leaked! One Leader reportedly sent this message to another:
    Thanks for your report, I am starting to have contacts with the nation that worries you now, and hopefully I can talk him into not joining the fight. I will secure my borders proposing non aggression pact and thus I will make myself ready to purchase regions from you to cut dangerous roads as well as provide fresh units.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Aitrus and apeloverag3.
  • Emissaries of Gordon carry this message to all:
    1)Gosh I'm scared.2) Scorpion, no.3)Scorpion, your turns of surrender: transfer 100 units and withdraw from Everybody's...., 4) 2Cool, I will accept the 5 turn no-agression pact that you have offered, 5) Frodo, you blocked Scorpi's advance on D'ni so he turns on me. Your assistance would be welcome.

  • Emissaries of Frodo carry this message to all:
    I wished every cooled off, 2Cool can you help for that, and realized this war was pointless. So I am asking it Scorpio and FD has shown they were ready to cooperate, so now Aitrus and Gordon can we still have a cease-fire? Kindly yours, Frodo

  • Emissaries of apeloverag3 carry this message to all:
    Fluffy Duckie had 299 units at Baby Birdie on turn 32 - over half his strength. So now would be a good time to attack him if you can do so anywhere else.

  • Emissaries of Aitrus carry this message to all:
    Hey Scorpion, is that a bomber in your hangar or are you just happy to see me?

  • Emissaries of Scorpion carry this message to all:
    To all; My private messages are always signed. My public messages coincide with leaked private messages. Compare that with my present enemies... Make up your own mind! I offered a last chance of peace to Gordon this past turn; I'll have peace, even if I have to take Gordon out to get it... Kelly J.
