Turn 9 - (P.E. Census)
Somewhere - Welcome to Power's Edge, Machiavelli!

From the Grapevine:

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

  • Rezo The Red's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their Regions!

  • Wes M. Edwards's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their Regions!

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

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between painted dog and Hawk.
  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Hmmm, I suppose that Elessar has planted some seeds of distrust around me so maybe you don't trust me. I assure you that I am not treacherous or fork-tongued. In any case, I am only interested in making peace with my neighbors. You still did cost me 10 units in your attack and I hope that you will one day choose to repay some of that. Putting that aside though, would you like to make a peace agreement? I propose that unless unforseen circumstances arise, then we should agree not to attack each other. If the need ever does arise then we should give each other at least 4 turns notice before any conflic. Let me know what you think. My email is slietuvnikas@osc.uscg.mil if you want to talk further. Peace be with you, Balzar.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Ubuu and Jaranka.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Mr. Potato Head and Tzu Doh Nam.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Kirdel and Angus the Great.
  • Emissaries of Elessar carry this message to all:
    For those not following the diplomacy list, Balzar has offered an apology for his intrusion upon my lands. The apology appears half-hearted, and I trust him little, but l will accept it for now in the interest of regional stability. Still, if you share a border with him, remain vigilant.

  • Emissaries of Huitzilopochtli carry this message to all:
    Greetings fellow nations. I was a fool to send Itzcoatl, a mere mortal, to establish a kingdom in my name. Now I, the god of the sun, shall personally lead my people to greatness. I await our future meetings, and may Tezcatlipoca grant you good fortune.
