Power's Edge: Web of Intrigue - International News for Turn 19

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Come closer.

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    I am happy to negotiate before entering into conflict. I agree to your proposal, and thank you for your prompt appeasement - it is very satifactory recompense. Additionally, I propose a non-agression pact extending until at least turn 50.

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    You can take Swamp if you want, although it is a zero prod territory. Not this turn, but next, you can take Elfhame Palace, it is 2 prod. Good luck against your new enemies.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Kirdel and H. Hornblower.
  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Since I let you have Taiwan with its large production, I'm guessing you'll let me have this one with only one production. If you take it, please leave immediately, as I am likely to attack again next turn.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Elessar and Angus the Great.
  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Again, I am claiming region I-360. We can talk next turn if you also attack there. I say let the victor keep the territory, provided they send compensation for any lost units. Peace out!

  • Emissaries of Elessar carry this message to all:
    Your failure to recognize that issues of trust and honor cannot be reduced to simple mathematics, Balzar, is why your empire falls. My offensive response to your aggressions begins now. I thank all who have offered support, verbal or military. Watchers: contact me at athelas@mindspring.com.

  • Emissaries of H. Hornblower carry this message to all:
    Jokhar has decided to attack me because he thinks I am Magnus, who he dislikes from the first PE game. He has apparently managed to convince others to help him. I am not Magnus, I sent him my real name and email to prove it. Attack me if you must, but don't try to defend your aggression falsely.

  • Emissaries of Balzar carry this message to all:
    I can honestly appreciate the vultures swooping in a slimming down my territories. It is probably the right thing to do, so I don't blame Temple or Angus. I'm just kind of surprised that nobody seems to dig my kamikaze tactics against my arch-enemy. Oh well, I can dig it!

  • Emissaries of Kennendras carry this message to all:
    Greetings all Nobles and Royals. I am Emperor Kennendras of Astoec. I am announcing my existence, and wish all Nobles peace and prosperity. Be warned though, Astoec is not to be toyed with in your schemes. Thankyou. I can be contacted (out of game) at kennendras@yahoo.com

  • Emissaries of Kirdel carry this message to all:
    Mr. Hornblower would you please clarify publicly what you are doing deep inside Lands Of Magic? Sounds like a mysterious agreement is under this. The Sorceress

  • Emissaries of Drixtar carry this message to all:
    Dear Elessar I have researched all the logs from the game and in the mailing group and have concluded you are in the right in this conflict. You have my support. Balzar you could have done a better job of rectifying the problem from the start. Let it be a lesson. Drixtar
