Power's Edge: Tournament 2007 - International News for Turn 67

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

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

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

Small Fish, I think it best you hold off on any support of units. Solidify your position. It will take 4-5 turns for Superthing to reach you through me, now that that connection was lost. If he is moving in your direction you'll see him take Let's Get It On, Don't Sweat..., Dark Side, ect... If you want or can, take the regions you promised me, especially if an enemy threatens them. But if there are many units in them it may be best to leave it alone as it is a buffer. I will reimburse you for lost units when you turn them over to me. Best for you to use the production now. As always use your best judgment.

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Gordon and Frodo.

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between 2Cool and Frodo.

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

My friend, I think this settle the Fullerton War. I will be moving in the regions starting next turn, and would ask you to guide me to the right places, ensuring we cause as little damage as possible. For the armies, I accept to wait and see how the situation unfold with your current opponents. Make sure to keep me updated. Sincerely yours, Frodo

Emissaries of 2Cool carry this message to all:

Frodo, sorry to be a tad lax, that is acceptable, I'll try to get there next turn and send over the 9 units to you.

Emissaries of Frodo carry this message to all:

Superthing, a little less obscure communication and some clear intentions would definitively do some good. Yours, Frodo

Emissaries of Gordon carry this message to all:

Fluffie Duckie, I have said I will not attack anyone without cause. If/when we come in contact I will not attack you; I hope you will do the same. Be a good neighbor. If it wasn't clear the punative damages for Superthing are in addition the return of production in the regions he has taken from me.

Emissaries of Fluffy Duckie carry this message to all:

Frodo, don't worry about whether things have changed. Once I have ceded a territory, I revoke all claim on it. Once I have made an agreement, you can have faith that I will stick to it even if my circumstances are not what they were when I agreed. Love, Duckie
