MOSCOW MESSENGER, 15th NOVEMBER, 1826 AD. Early Edition.
RUSSIAN ALLIANCE SPACECRAFT FIRST TO NEW WORLD.
The Tri-party Alliance (Nick-named 'The Good Guys' by Pres. Milo) of the Russian, Viking and Sioux nations surprised the world today when, by the narrowest of margins they managed to land the first spaceship on Alpha-Centuria.
The Race started with Aztec leader Pres. Nappy launching a spaceship almost out of the blue. The JTF held strong their alliance with the English, and the African Space agency was hastily formed.
Due to unforseeable circumstances, leadership of Russia was handed from Pres. Superstarskii to his brother, Statesman Pastieman, taking the Pseudo-name Lenin for a turn last week. Under strict instructions, and following on from Superstarskii's earlier proposals, Pastieman sought help form the Vikings and the Sioux. The Vikings repaid Russian loyalty in the great war by joining them in the Space Race. Negotiations with new allies the Sioux also proved fruitful as their proud leader devoted considerable effort to co-found the RSV Space Agency.
A few years later the JTF ship, faster and better equipt than the Aztecs effort was launced, arrival date 1826!
This left the RSV agency and returning leader Superstarskii with only 8 years to build a ship faster than the African based shuttle. Russian theorists quickly came up with an estimate that the 10 years of travel taken by the JTF could be beaten, if rapid steps were taken. The RSV ship needed a further 24 pieces before it would be deemed fast (5-6 years) and safe enough to complete this task. However, communications problems and no time for haste left the SS Superstarskii heavier than needed (4 extra structurals than the blueprints required), and lacking 1 fuel and 1 propulsion system for the desired launch date of 1820. It seemed that the RSV had failed, resulting in riots and general disquiet throughout Russia.
Pres. Superstarskii II, through his despair decided to delay the launch, and wait another year in order to shorten the 6.9 years the bodged ship would take to reach it's destination as much as possible. The folly paid off, and, in 1821, it was launched, with an arrival date of 1826, the same date as the JTF.
That our ship arrived their first is fortunate, and as a mark of respect, a party was prepared for Japanese travellers, passed in space just hours before.
It is a fitting end to world affiars that in the same year, representaives of 5 different nations reached the new world, with the Aztecs expected 3 years later.
OTHER NEWS.
The war for Asia still appears to be raging, with the evil AI now controlling both the Aztecs and the Chinese. Early reports indicated a string of Aztecs victories, yet it was the English nation that came out as the true victor. A blitzkreig English strike tore the heart out of the Chinese nation, with the capital Xi'an falling first. This also prevented the building of the Manhattan Project, the biggest threat to the world order that htis planet has ever seen. The Chinese capital was swiftly moved to Hong Kong. Hong Kong was attacked by a pincher movemtent of Russian troops to the east, and English to the west. The city was eventually liberated from the corrupted Chinese fundamentalist ideology by Russian paratroopers from nearby Harbin, formerly New Yakust (recaptured by Statesman Pastieman in Superstarskii's absence).
It became the last city to be embraced into the Russian bosom, and it's people celebrated the arrival of the Spaceship with as much zeal as other Russian cities.
A TRIBUTE.
Russian leader Pres. Superstarskii would like to pay the following leaders respect;
(Sorry guys, this may sound really tacky but I really enjoyed playing this game (most of the time) and feel like I have to say a few words of appreciation for including me in this world).
Milo, our unfailing alliance held through thick and thin. Your nation suffered horrendous ethnic cleansing during the great War, and mine left virtually bankrupt and stagnated by a huge scale militarisation. Yet we survived, and surprised a few people.
Grau Geist, like it or not you have been like a mentor to me, I have learnt a lot from you, and was upset when our alliance came to a peaceful end. I believe that you are the true winner, the ship landed the same year, and your nation was a lot more impressive than mine.
Cap, Russia enjoyed a good relationship with the English, and we fought a few good battles together. The maps and strong English Voice at the negotiation table added a great deal to the atmosphere. I've also come to respect and fear your excellent miltiary strategies.
Cavebear, you entered the game late fella, but just at the right time. Comendable for your patience and great wisdom, I really enjoyed playing alongside you. Thanks for your support in the Space race.
Nappy, you missed the last session, but you led the Aztecs to a strong postion in world affairs.
To the AI, you dirty, cheating low-life scum, we beat you ya bastard.
Cheers guys, possibly the greatest diplomatic game of all time.
Hmmm, hope I don't sound too much like Gwyneth Paltrow.
