Around the World: An Excercise in Diplomacy

[Moody the Wise]

wait, what? Moody?
I thought you were eliminated

Heh, yeah, it's been a while. I'm still watching to see how this thing ends, though ...

[thewamp]

wait, what? Moody?
I thought you were eliminated

Clearly he's back, because we're all *that* cool.
Hey moody!

8 Hours
Cause more warnings never hurt anyone.

[thewamp]

Hey, so I'm sick and crazy busy. I haven't forgotten though. I'll get the orders up later tonight or tomorrow, but I'm just giving you all a heads up.

Intrigue! Deception! Death! Betrayal! Wacky Press!

I'm starting a game of standard diplomacy. Check out Flames of War. And sign up! You all are wonderful, wonderful players.

[Maldiem]

Godzilla Bored, Rediscovers Printing Press in Wreckage of Tokyo

That's right! And his rampagelariousness even commissioned some Godzillalings to put out a bi-annual newspaper, to be fired at the cringing humans over the trenches.

The Divine Lizard Daily
If you're reading this, we haven't eaten you yet!

Baghdad, Iran to Fall!

The Ottomans have only themselves and the English to blame, as they pushed Italy to the breaking point. When all your friends are stabbing you, why wouldn't you like a city-crushing monster on your side?

Human World Silent!

Maybe its a sign of their onrushing doom, but there hasn't been a peep out of Europe for some time. Inside sources (literally-- sometimes it takes years for Godzilla's stomach to get around to digesting people) speculate that the Europeans have been too busy frantically trying to stop his pillaging hordes of progeny to publish anything.

[Shishnarfne]

Turkish Government Advises Citizens Remain Calm, Consider Relocation
"With part of our homeland in imminent danger of being overrun by armies in service to a giant lizard, we advise citizens not to take matters into their own hands and allow the military to deal with the invaders. We strongly encourage civilians to relocate to regions further from the front lines, so as to better allow our armed forces to deal with the invader. I hear that Russia and the Balkans make a nice change of scenery from Arabia." Such came the press release from the long-silent government regarding the apparent defeats of their armed forces.

This has done little to assuage panic in the populace near Baghdad. We recommend any citizens who wish to remain learning Japanese... and staying away from the "new" leader of Japan.

[thewamp]

Hey, so I'm starting another game called Flames of War. What that means is that I'll have multiple sets of orders coming in at any given time. So please, in the future, could you put "AtW" in the title of your PMs?

But without further ado...

Might as well just post your builds in the thread, Maldiem, since you're the only one who has any.

And... no news? What about the news?

Sorry, but the Turkish journalists are too busy following the retreat of the Turkish armies and wondering about their safety to submit anything to the Sultan's censors...

The location of the Sultan's censors is a matter of some dispute, given conflicting rumors of their appearance in Greece, Sevastopol, and Apulia...

The Divine Lizard Daily Annually

Frequency Change

Given that the world press just doesn't have the oomph to respond (and the hibernation period associated with consuming a mountain of Turkish prisoners) the Divine Lizard has been changed to annual circulation.

Standoff in Europe

Despite being assailed on all sides, the Italians managed to maintain their supply center count, and drive the Turks from Italy. While the English rush on, the question in everyone's mind is, "what kind of wine goes with English Royalty, red or white?"

Godzilla Opens African Theater... Again!

With Godzillan forces returning to the continent, senior analysts are predicting being there to stay. "We're there to make sure the Italians can hobble the Turks and English for as long as possible," said one anonymous source.

[Vexen]

English Press release:

Brittish Parliment prefers red wine -
Despite the inability to regain the iberian Penninsula or any SC for that matter, Brittish advisers feel quite pleased with the english advance on the continent. Take that napoleon!

Armed forces in conflict -
It appears that there is a gross lack of communication between the various branches of the brittish armed forces. The Army and Navy seem unable to get a simple convoy organized. No wonder the Royal Airforce is unable to get off the ground! though rumor has it that the error is truly due to lack of sleep on the part of the Prime minister and him screwing up the orders. The Monarchy has no official comment.

Gone over it a couple of times, and I don't see how F Sue - Egy(Nc) didn't work-- it was Sue plus support from Red and Sud, neither of which were cut vs A Pen with support from Eas. Should have been 3:2. I know my jDip has some kind of glitch with Egypt. Could you take another look?

It's because you can't dislodge yourself. Italy bounced against himself.
