From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Jokhar and H. Hornblower.
  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Here are the means to contact me. I trust that any spells sent this way will be of a benign nature.

  • SigmaPE@Hotmail.com

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Just wondering, how far are you intending to take the attack to balzar? My thinking is he should be completly beaten or we risk trechiory in the future but it does seem a bit of an overkill. Oh well I do need new lands to explore from just voiceing my thoughts.

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    I ceded Scrubland to Royal Navy because I'm going out with a bang. I was going to give it to you but then I saw that you were evil and aligned with Elessar so I changed my mind. Royal Navy took one more region without asking me and let's face it, my internal defenses are non-existent and I really don't care to stop him.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Elessar and H. Hornblower.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Frobenius and Huitzilopochtli.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between The Watchers and Elessar.
  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    The second region was by luck. I scouted with a tiny force, just to see what was ahead. I couldn't afford to send 10 to scout, so I did a small attack. The region had a single unit and I won. That's all that's gone on. Contact me at sbass@speakeasy.org if you wish to talk more.

  • Emissaries of Hawk carry this message to all:
    This Magnus probably is a very powerful leader, if Hornblower is trying to convince him that Jokhar is a sworn enemy of Magnus... Brilliant move :).

  • Emissaries of Jokhar carry this message to all:
    H.Hornblower - you are not right - I do like M. We all like him! That is why we are searching for him and when whenever we finally find him, he will be overjoyed :)

  • Emissaries of My Pretty Pony carry this message to all:
    Why would Jokhar not like Magnus? Magnus is a very funny pony! When Magnus is near, all flowers dance in the wind and little bees sing happy songs. With no Magnus, who will be a funny pony? But don't attack me: I am not Magnus! I am just a pretty little pony. Lovies!

  • Emissaries of Balzar carry this message to all:
    Well poop on you Drixtar! I'm having a good 'ole time so who cares what you think. Anyway, I ceded Royal Navy one territory in my dying nation but he took one more, go figure. Anyone can feel free to attack me now, my blaze has begun!!!!!!

  • Emissaries of Tzu Doh Nam carry this message to all:
    Johkar and Hawk are trying to set up an alliance to take over countries without provacation. There is more to their dirty dealings too if you care to know more. I call for group action against Hawk Johkar and all who support them.

  • Emissaries of painted dog carry this message to all:
    Greetings to All ! If anyone wishes to contact the nation of okavango, please do do via rallisport@go.com

  • Emissaries of H. Hornblower carry this message to all:
    To Kirdel, Balzar offered me Scrublands as part of his suicide attack. I have no idea why me, but I took it. The 2nd region was a fluke. I scouted with a small force and the region had 1 army and I won. To the world, Jokhar knows I'm not Magnus, and said he will stop. Let's see if he keeps his word
