From the Grapevine:

  • Trinity's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their Sectors!

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Yes, a formal peace treaty would be wise. I have heard multiple deals from my neighbors and allies so I will throw out something similar. Peace until turn 50 with options for renewal; 3 turns to negotiate if conflicts put us at odds, which should be announced to each other formally; intel sharing and any other acts of friendliness. Since I mention the TRU to you, I would be glad to share maps so you can see for yourself why my wisemen say I must keep this border occupied.

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Jaranka and AFENG.
  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Mister TwoCool,

  • I suspect that some of my own draft horses are sharing information about the Hamel-Budapest trade route. How could I have overlooked such a lucrative undertaking? My deepest apologies for last turn! As a goodwill gesture, I am withdrawing all but 15 from our shared border, and agree to a cease fire of five turns, at which time we can reevaluate our positions, hopefully resulting in a lasting union. Jane Beezly was very vehement in her insistence that I do all I can to heal the hard feelings between our nations, and asked me to send you this vest she crocheted by hand.

  • Peace Out,

  • Harry

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    contact me here whorfster@hotmail.com

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Hawk and painted dog.
  • Emissaries of The Watchers carry this message to all:
    The Watchers claim the newly-Independent region of Anduin adjacent to our lands.

  • Emissaries of Kirdel carry this message to all:
    Sorceress Kirdel wants to welcome new nations and small nations. Please feel free to contact me and I would magically assist you against treachery.

  • Emissaries of Batu carry this message to all:
    In the interest of avoiding accidental conflict, my nation publicly states its claim on the independent region of Stratego.

  • Emissaries of Ima Noob carry this message to all:
    Shaitan - Have my explanations been enough to satisfy your questions? I have presented no hostiliies to you and would like to know if I will see the same.

  • Emissaries of Ubuu carry this message to all:
    Hawk's and Ubuu's troops found true glory! Hundreds of warriors clash on the field of battle, and but four remain standing at the end! We salute the noble warriors of both armies.

  • Emissaries of Harry Palmer carry this message to all:
    I want to publicly reiterate my peaceful intentions to Pony, and reaffirm my treaties/pacts/oaths with Pony, Kirdel, Appalachia, especially TwoCool, whom I attacked last turn--despite a long-standing peace. Hmm...memory must be going... If I forgot to mention your name, please let me know...
