Well I'm sorry Saddam and it was nothing deliberate from me. In fact everything looks normal at this end, the problem may have been with one of our mail providers.

Maybe something to do with the code red paranoia that was happening last night?

If it happens again I'll start to worry.

[faded glory]

Hey Fraze no problem, I talked to the dorks at AOL. They insist the problem does not exist. But I found a bug in the coding, and ill be damned if Im going to let those fools call me a liar ..

Why the hell do I pay 23.95 a month for this slow ass ISP anyway Oh wait, forgot that its a ****in monopoly....Its eithier this or earthlink. But Time Warner(a branch company of AOL) controls the phone lines around here. And they delibrately slow down competing ISP modem speeds. So I really dont have a choice...

However, no more of this ****, Roadrunner is finally coming in later this summer(another branch of Time warner/AOL )! If I had to bet, ide say the service will be much more expensive than usaul.

anyway, sorry for the lenghty explanation. But im very pissed with AOL right now..

had to vent

Turn 215 to Don

[faded glory]

'Sir'

Yes? Saddam replied

"There is a seroius situation in northern enclave provinces today. Workers are refusing to work the new 12 hour shifts, and are taking to the streets to demonstrate"

Saddam picked up the phone, 2 minutes later he uttered the words "Crush them". With that, Tanks and troops immediately moved into the northern province imposing martial law and executing all trouble makers.

--------------------

Note to Americans, your military buildup on our border is very significant, any reason for it? We have but a pikemen and a machine gunner. But that number could increase ten-fold given the order. But we will not do that, we will only protest, because it is american territory.

Turn 216 to Swissy.

It looks like our gold simply disappear - no matter how hard and how many times I ask my people to increase their savings, they just keep spending them for their own amusement.

I could reduce their wages - but that would probably make a lot of unrest throughout my nation.

Something has to be done - but I do not know yet what would be best for the nation. I have to think of science, growth and defense at the same time - it seems to me, that one of these has to be sacrified to achive the two others.

Somewhere in Jamaica...

"So the English are an American puppet, much as I expected. And what other news of the world do you have Comrade Security Minister?"

"Well Chairman, the Americans seem to making quite a build up. The Chinese had lodged a complaint about an inordinate amount of troops at their border," replied Comrade Samuel.

"So what is our plan?"

"We have sufficent destroyers to allow our submariners tobegin open ocean patrols. The Americans will not be able to approach Jamaican lands by sea," responed the Comrade Admiral.

"Air patrols have also been instituted," added the Comrade Air Marshall.

"We are safe from our potential enemies from afar, but what of the English? They sit almost upon our front step. They are producing vast amounts of pollution, which means they must be gearing up for something." the Chairman queried.

"They dare not atack us," bellowed the Comrade General," they would be crushed if any force landed on our shores. We are secure from any enemy."

The Chairman sat back smiles and thought; we may be safe from them, but re they safe from us?

Turn to Nuke Boy

[Max Webster]

Do our neighbours think that troops totally completely patrolling within American borders are a threat to them. Would'nt it be more logical that they would be more of a threat outside of American borders. Would our neigbours prefer if we didn't build any troops within our lands. How about I leave a nice big sign on the border saying "No troops, please invade". I think I would rather build lots of troops and have you paranoid, then build none and have me paranoid.

[Paul]

Turn 216 to Don

[Max Webster]

To our Chinese Neighbours


Your protest has been noted, we will remove the evidence of any buildup and we ourselves will reduce our troops to leave the equal number of sentries on our city perimeter/border squares. This will be a Machine gunner and Musketeer, the same as you.

We wish no squabble with our Chinese friends, we are not aggressive as others make us out to be, but we will do much to insure the safety of our people.

[Max Webster]

Hello anybody home

Time for a new thread I think.

Turn 216 resent to Frazer

[Lung]

Musketeers? I say again - musketeers?!! You guys have been playing since the year dot and you still have musketeers?? Turn 216! Paul should be building the Alien Life Project by now

You guys have been playing this game for so long i found about it from an archaelogical dig!

[Paul]

Don, we did receive an emailed turn update from Frazer. So it appears that Saddam is the one to blame for this holdup.
