Power's Edge International News for Turn 131

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

Emissaries of Thugwompus carry this message to all:

G--without your promises of war on our enemy, I would have expanded quietly rather than open a front which I couldn't defend. 60 units don't begin to pay for the loss we suffered when we agreed to your terms for peace and then you backed out. We are at peace, but don't talk of compensation as I die.

Explorers loyal to Thugwompus have connected to a region belonging to Psientist RS!

Explorers loyal to Thugwompus have connected to a region belonging to No Leader!

Prophets of Peace has renamed the region Galveston as Burial Ground.

Prophets of Peace has renamed the region Cumberland Gap as Peaceful Souls.

JKD/OG - To prevent further depreciation of your respective assets, and provide a neutral ground for your negotiations, we are executing a temporary friendly takeover of Rivendell/No Return pending a settlement of your disagreements.

John Doe, MBA has renamed the region Mongol Hordes-794 as Synthetic Plastics.

John Doe, MBA has renamed the region Mongol Hordes-793 as Handheld Computers.

Emissaries of Miralus carry this message to all:

It's end game time, folks. The UN outnumbers us by nearly 2:1. They already have 27% of the regions. Soon it will be over 33% and then GAME OVER. If you want the game to continue, it is time to act. Or you can stay neutral and watch the UN win.

Emissaries of UN Alice RS carry this message to all:

Oh poor Magnus - it seems you will lose this game forever... :-)

Emissaries of Sam-I-am carry this message to all:

Prophets (and other neighbors): I prefer 778 occupied by a large deterrent force, best done by ageas. Second preference is as a drivethru/Safe Passage Zone node, a la Prophets' proposal. Gandalf: I see little gain for you or your ally in vengeance beyond Kalombo.

Emissaries of An Ordinary Guy carry this message to all:

-Excuse my, but my bandana is *dashing red, not bloody ! However, having seen your soldiers retreat running from one place to another, one has to admire their fitness. Run, run, run...

An Ordinary Guy has renamed the region JKD-569 as Running Fields.

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between UN Falcon RS ASAP and Buehler.

Emissaries of UN Falcon RS ASAP carry this message to all:

John, I don't say that OG is Bob. I say that he deliberately gave his account to a person who spent all time preparing attack on JKD (400 units!). Bob refused to say the name of the player, probably so that JKD would not expect the backstab. Some old enemy of JKD - Thingol or Phoenix, no?

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Duke Timmy RS and IceBerg.

Kustodio has renamed the region Sabina-710 as Simyia.
