Power's Edge: Web of Intrigue - International News for Turn 26

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Harry Palmer and Kirdel.

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between The Watchers and Thakgar Bigteeth.

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between temple and Batu.

A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:

I may not have worded my earlier offer very well: it should have been a peace treaty of indefinite length, but terminable with 5 turns warning. Is this closer to what you want? I do not anticipate any problems so I guess warning could be longer. I have no intentions but peace towards you and yours.

Your friend passed on your bona fides: thank you for the kind offer. Unfortunately this is bad timing: my troops are needed elsewhere. I cannot spare them now. I will notify your friend and you immediately if the situation changes. I don't expect it too, though.

Best of luck! Please pass my best wishes to Tomas also, if the chance allows. This should be an exciting few turns.

A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:

How are doing your ponies, Lady Pony? We actually never met, but I hope one day you'll be able to show me your lands. I always loved green grass, rainbow, and ponies of course. Do you have any current enemies? Are you undertaking big thing? What is your feeling in Hawk/Sherman vs Tzu situation? Sorceress Kirdel

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between H. Hornblower and Huitzilopochtli.

Emissaries of Ima Noob carry this message to all:

Sherman - Your foul words disgust my people. The lands you call home must be purified of the stench. Potato - Your lack of wisdom makes you a poor ally and better enemy.

Emissaries of Mr. Potato Head carry this message to all:

Batu/Paited dog, yes Batu sent me a message but who can reply to every messge with only 2 chances per turn, he announced he was breaking/stoping treaty, he started it, then I attacked first, then he attacked and P. Dog jumped in, I am not at fault here, other than being slow to respond to messages

Emissaries of temple carry this message to all:

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

Emissaries of Balzar carry this message to all:

My only true goal in my kamikaze war against Elessar has been to balance the power levels of the top nations. The last region I hold has 6 prod. I would like to seed it to Temple in order to keep the world balanced. What do all of you think? Check the stats 1st.

Emissaries of Ubuu carry this message to all:

The mighty army of Ubuu rides to glory against the ferocious forces of Hawk! May the battle begin! Be assured, o nations, that our glorious struggle is aimed only at Hawk and those who may actively aid or abet his schemes. No neighbors of Ubuu, save Hawk, need fear. Ubuu is not a treatybreaker.

Emissaries of Hawk carry this message to all:

Watchers - first, this is my first and only life, as I'm neither cat nor undead ;). Second, me and Sherman already clarified our points of view several times in the diplomacy list that, as I hope, you're subscribed to, and it gets boring to repeat same words again and again :).

Emissaries of Drixtar carry this message to all:

Dear Public Agents, I'm annoucing a state of war against the Parker Bros. for as my current ally has called upon my help.

Emissaries of W.T.Sherman carry this message to all:

Tzu - stop crying, fight as a man. Or you only can backstab your allies?*** Shaitan - this sneak attack was silly of you. Get out of my land and I won't pursue you.

Emissaries of H. Hornblower carry this message to all:

I cannot allowTzu to be hounded from all sides. I have made my peace with H & S, but I have no such arrangements with Harald. Harald, withdraw your forces from Tzu's territory or consider yourself at war with the Royal Navy.

Emissaries of Kirdel carry this message to all:

Mighty TwoCool, I agree with your suggestion. So let it be. Sincerely, Sorceress Kirdel
