  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Shaitan and temple.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between TwoCool and AFENG.
  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Dear Great Leader I would gratefully accept such honorable offer may peace be with our people for a great many years to come. Right now I have no true enemies, just a temp. alliance. That whole thing is a mess. If needed send me a private email and I can talk further on that. Peace be throughout your lands.

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Peace on our border it is then. I must maintain my TRU (Threat Response Units) at that planet due to my internal connections network but consider this a peaceful border.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between The Watchers and Ima Noob.
  • Emissaries of Harald Hardrada carry this message to all:
    A cowardly and unprovoked attack on my rear by the dishonorable Hornblower. He already has the highest region count, and now hopes to gobble up some more weaker nations. Looks like we know who is going to conquer this world, and by what dastardly means. Act, if you are high and mighty as you claim!

  • Emissaries of Kirdel carry this message to all:
    Painted Dog - if you want a direct way to my castle, message me an address and I'll establish a discreet channel. Hawk - i know what it is to be backstabbed believe me, well i just wanted to tell you that Tzu did complain but much less so i felt less bored. Sorceress Kirdel

  • Emissaries of Hawk carry this message to all:
    Ubuu, do you think you two brothers-backstabbers will live much longer?

  • Emissaries of Ima Noob carry this message to all:
    Shaitan: You misconstrue my intent. The units were to defend that land you took from Sherman as I was at war with him. I help those who are an enemy of my enemy and this was an example of my honor, nothing more, nothing less.

  • Emissaries of Tzu Doh Nam carry this message to all:
    Sherman whines about many attacking him. In fact some of those are attacking Hawk. Sherman has given more production to Hawk than has been taken from him by any nation. He is giving himself to Hawk and restarting.

  • Emissaries of Harry Palmer carry this message to all:
    Two Cool: I have had enough of your imperial designs. In support of my fearless comrades, I declare war on the likes of you.

  • Emissaries of W.T.Sherman carry this message to all:
    Tzu Fu@#*ng Nam again have crossed our border! This rascal found so many defenders here. Is it some kind of interamerican solidarity? - That is not good. Being in your shoes gentlemen, I 'll be ashamed to support such a scum only because he has american origin.
