Power's Edge: Web of Intrigue - International News for Turn 40

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

  • Germanophile's people are protesting the lack of leadership in their States!

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Greetings new neighbor, I see I connected to one of your regions last turn. I welcome you and propose a non-aggression pact between our nations with a five-turn cancellation clause, in the interest of peace and future cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at my embassy (batu@wideopenwest.com) and we can discuss the state of my nation and anything else. I look forward to hearing from you and also to future cooperation between our nations.

    I believe the war against Mr Palmer should cease. He was a fool for his actions, but total anahilition is an extreme punishment. Bite your tounge Palmer, else dig your grave.

    What I was saying was: contact me if you need fighting ponies. Soon I won't need them anymore, and I don't want them to stay in my pastures because they will still be angry and want to fight. They did good, and I want them to be happy, but I don't want them to make my pastures fighting places anymor
