Power's Edge: Tournament 2007 - International News for Turn 73

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

  • A secret message has leaked! One Leader reportedly sent this message to another:
    I am as clueless as you are. I heard rumors of our 'strange' friend going to hit elsewhere, but as much as I like him I don't think it's too good to let him grow much more. I think diplomacy is the key now, anything is possible.

  • Emissaries of Gordon carry this message to all:
    Frodo, go ahead. I'll keep those regions at low unit levels. Yes, a trade via Small Fish would be fine if he's ok with it. We can work at details later. Rob Gordon p.s. could keep my names for these regions? It would make the Velvet Undergroud, Stevie Wonder, and 13th Floor Elevator fans happy.

  • Emissaries of Scorpion carry this message to all:
    Gordon; may I borrow Everybodys? Duck, may I borrow Mechanical Age? After a brief recon mission on behalf of Ti.ana, you can get back to your little war. Gives you time to come to an understanding! Answers asap please, Kelly J.

  • Emissaries of Fluffy Duckie carry this message to all:
    OK, I won't attack Gordon. He seems like a nice guy. Gordon, please don't make me regret this by giving your regions over to Small Fish. Make him work for the victory. Thanks! Love, Duckie
