  • A secret message has leaked! One Leader reportedly sent this message to another:
    I believe you are in a position to win it all. I am not trying to win and would rather see you win than the alternative. I would be quite happy to finish second and am wondering if you'd like my assistance. I believe our other friend as well has some thoughts in this area.

  • Emissaries of Gordon carry this message to all:
    Scorpion, you haven't finished the unit transfers? What's the final tally? I asked a few turns ago for you to add it up and square us up. If your records show that you've paid what is due let me know. I will review the record to determine the tally, but I'd like to hear your estimate.

    Gordon! It's me again! and just in time for Christmas.........
