Power's Edge: Web of Intrigue - International News for Turn 17

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Greetings neighbor. Now is time for peace while the world sorts out the situation with Balzar and Elessar. Let us discuss how we can work together.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Kirdel and H. Hornblower.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Angus the Great and Kirdel.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Huitzilopochtli and Ubuu.
  • Emissaries of Balzar carry this message to all:
    Elessar was an ass to me in the not so distant past and I have chosen take retribution. He has 14 more production than the nearest competitor and is far too powerful. I'm going out kamikaze style, if anyone else doesn't like his massive power then I would suggest you help me.

  • Emissaries of Ima Noob carry this message to all:
    The words of Balzar are insanity. Foul and treachorous leaders should fall upon their knees to pray for their quick end. Balazar has been sentenced to death! My country offers 20 percent unit loss reimbursement to all attacks against him as a sign of our support.

  • Emissaries of Huitzilopochtli carry this message to all:
    I understand what it is to enjoy the sacrificial blood of one's enemies, but coarseness in attending to such matters is unnecessary (to step out of character - the harsh language on the diplo list as of late is uncalled for, please tone it down before it gets out of hand - sorry, email on the fritz)

  • Emissaries of Jokhar carry this message to all:
    Frobenius, 28 is mine as I was first to find it.

  • Emissaries of Hawk carry this message to all:
    Hornblower: I noticed that you claimed publicly that you and me signed peace treaty. Could you kindly inform when this event supposedly took place? I did send you an offer once, but it was sent before I caught your scouts in my land, and before you sent me sarcastic private message. Can I trust you?

  • Emissaries of Kirdel carry this message to all:
    The Sorceress Will Be Helping Those In Needs Or Unprovokedly Attacked. Feel Free To Ask. Sorceress Kirdel
