Hee hee! 

There are days when it feels like a great big "whack-a-snake" game
over here in porcupine-land, what with the snakes, the hermits, and
the arizonans all popping up all over the place every turn!  This
turn, we had not one, two, or three, but a whopping 7 battles!  And
oftentimes it feels like those snakes are really hydras - every time
you whack one of them, two more pop up to take it's place!  

But that's why we're happy today, because FINALLY, we're pleased to
report that this past turn, we whacked more than we got popped! The
world is now short some 136 snake-lovers, and we only lost 81
Porcupines!  

Hee hee!

(Even us dour porcupines have to find *something* to giggle about from
time to time!)

P.S. Now if only I could figure out how to keep Hermis from letting
all my regions dissolve in Crises after he takes them...  And how to
keep Arizona from dissolving all his links to the regions that contain
my big armies!

You shouldn't whack snakes, Mr. Porcupine; it hurts a lot. We try very
hard to take most porcupines prisoner for release after we become
friends again. I think you should do the same with snakes. You can
keep us in little terrariums--we make fascinating pets! On the other
hand, we make terrible briefcases. With plastics today, there's no
reason to compromise on durability and ease of cleaning for your
luggage needs.

I must say, these region disasters are killing us! Last turn, Hermis
and I BOTH lost our capitals, and this turn I lost a critical movement
node. I'm glad to hear that they are annoying you as well.

All the best, you nasty enemy,
