From the Grapevine:

  • Angus the Great's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their Castles!

  • Bynder's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their Estates!

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    It seems that we both agree to extend our peaceful friendship until at least turn 50. It is, as always, a great pleasure to be your neighbour.

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Thank you for your interest in my condition. Hawk and Sherman are essentially gone, but Harald still has about 200 units in my land --most of them are Sherman's parting gift to Harald. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. It looks like all of harald's neighbors are joining us, so I just need to hang on for a while. :) Meanwhile, do you have a spell that would let me fly so I can do all this geographic stuff without diturbing people? Thanks.

  • Emissaries of Thakgar Bigteeth carry this message to all:
    The Tuskoids annexation of Candiasis from Ima Noob was a peaceful handover, negotiated in advance. The Tuskoids and the Diseased are not at war. Thakgar Bigteeth.

  • Emissaries of Kirdel carry this message to all:
    Sorceress Kirdel is laying her claims on Mindoluin. Massive forces will be send out next turn to enter the region. Magically yours, The Sorceress

  • Emissaries of Ubuu carry this message to all:
    I claim Hawk-104 and Ithilien for Ubuu's warriors. I trust to my new neigbors that no harm will come from this.

  • Emissaries of Harry Palmer carry this message to all:
    Ahem. Well, now that Hawk and Sherman have been reduced to inconsequentiality, I guess TwoCool takes advantage of my earlier gaffe and uses it as an excuse to 'defend' himself by unilaterally shortening our treaty. Well, so be it, but I still like little ponies & wish them no harm...

  • Emissaries of My Pretty Pony carry this message to all:
    Ponies will join with HP's other neighbors and show that people shouldn't attack their friends without saying. We are sorry because HP seems very nice and sent me lots of pretty macrame and tasty food. After that we don't want to have any more war, so please everyone be nice to each other. Lovies!
