Power's Edge: Tournament 2007 - International News for Turn 75

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

Mr. Haydn's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their Factorys!

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

Hi Rob Gordon!

Nice to finally meet you out of the diplomatic posturing! Since we will be now be kinda working together, allow me to explain me actions... In order to expedite the investigations at Mechanical Age, I am taking Everybodys now. The number of troops is in case Mechanical Age needs to be taken by force. (Since this is the only place I can attack Fluffy Duckie 'safely' without violating treaty obligations, it would be a gamble on my part - but a promise is a promise...) I am hoping to get approval from Fluffy Duckie this turn. Allow me to reiterate, all production and other loses you suffer will be returned. Careful accounting (and knowledge of how many troops survived the 'battle') will allow ALL production to be returned!

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

My friend good luck in this undertaking ;) Feel free to ask for my highly experienced mercenaries, with the dexterity of Hobbits. Best regards, Frodo

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Small Fish and Gordon.

Emissaries of Small Fish carry this message to all:

Gordon, Frodo - I agree to the region-swap deal. I am not sure why my earlier announcement was lost. Gordon, please take Big Pond-190 next turn; Frodo, I will take Hobbits-187 in 2 turns.

Emissaries of Scorpion carry this message to all:

Gordon; thank you! Your loses will be replenished. Fluffy Duckie; what say you regarding Mechanical Age? Frodo; Gandalf may have something to say soon!

Emissaries of Gordon carry this message to all:

As the leaked message says, I still have an axe to grind with Superthing. I plan to go after him and I'm gathering support from other nations in this war. Frodo, I will want the region you suggested to settle the production debt. Gordon of Albumia

Emissaries of Fluffy Duckie carry this message to all:

I have agreed to allow Scorpion to enter Mechanical Age. I am not sure that any clues to Aitrus' whereabouts will be found there, but it is OK with me. Our thoughts are with Lady Ti.ana. Love, Duckie

Explorers loyal to 2Cool have connected to a region belonging to 07-Independents!

Invasion! There are reports that a massive force loyal to Fluffy Duckie invaded 07-Independents at The Great Shaft! The defenders were hopelessly outnumbered!

P.E. Census Report: The Universe now contains a total of 168 regions controlled by a total of 8 Leaders. 154 of these regions belong to the 8 Leaders controlling Major (i.e. interconnected) nations.

Region Crises Expected: The Major nations in the Universe have grown larger than the sustainable equilibrium. There are likely to be more Region Crises next turn.

The next update is scheduled for Saturday at 20:00 U.S. Pacific Time.
