Love Conquers?

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn *not* received.
Please resend.

[The True Demosthenes]

Still no sign of the turn.
Please do not subject me to the 24hr ruling.

[St Jon]

I have requested that Shavlor repost the Turn and confirm despatch. If this fails to resolve the problem then it will have to be either sent on to Stavros or a designated Sub but if this is unsuccessful as well then I will repost the Spanish Turn to a Sub.

I am sorry that anyone should feel penalised for an ISP failure but an indefinite stall is unacceptable and unfair on everyone else. As both Demos and Shavlor have ICQ then I would suggest that it should be tried as an alternative means of File Transfer.

Wherever it goes the Turn will move!

Turn -> Xen

Turn 14 to Hextapul

The roads are not only cleared, but the messengers seem to have flown on the wings of Pegasus!

Turn 14/15 -> St Jon

I, Hextapul, cannot read the strange language of the Australian nation. It seems that a great wonder is about to be built - alas, the only thing I can guess at is it might be Stonehenge. When will it be complete?

Please enlighten us who speak only one language...

[St Jon]

Turn 15 to Shavlor.

Blessings upon you all from one who speaks but the language of love.

My disciples are concerned that the Spanish Envoy having established an Embassy seems to wish to go on 'Pilgimage'. Whilst, of course, all who wish to 'Kiss My Ring' are welcome it seems discourteous of the Spanish Regency not to have begged permission first.

St Jon, Love's Lover.

[Stavros]

Although we are officially in anarchy, I hope and pray that my engineers and scientists have not the impertinence to start the construction of a wonder, without at least consulting me. I shall look into our diverse activities at as soon as possible.
I thank you Hexagonian, for your concern and prompt notification.

[Shavlor]

Turn 15 --> Demos

[The True Demosthenes]

Turn 15 ==> Breaker

Demosthenes wonders at the level of truth being uttered here. For a leader to be unaware of the the construction of such a momentus tribute can only mean that there is not a full grip on power, or there is a discolouring of facts......

[Stavros]

Not content at providing me with false information about my own nation, The "True" Domethious now has the gall to call me a liar.
'Tis a shame that your first attempts at diplomacy have shot so wide of the mark of civility. If you care to check your sources, I believe it is the esteemed Xenophon that has the honour of the constructing the first wonder of our Glorious age.
I hope and pray that our people can find it in their hearts to forgive this slight on the Australian nature.

Turn 15 to Hextapul

Thanks are due to Breaker Morant for translating the German message. We did not receive the message in Athens, but we have received a number of other messages in German in the past. And while Greece has not actually completed the Stonehenge, we are in the process of erecting the last stone.

Meanwhile, it appears that Australia leads the world in the number of goverments enacted. Your political scientists must be busy indeed!

Turn 16 -> St Jon

iNdEEd aur skribes wer werking on the trannnslashuns of the strang languagee, and cince it is an inexac scienc, the facs may hav beeen sumwhat distorteed.

Nevertheless, a closer look at the strange language reveal that the Greeks are the ones who are building this great wonder - and since I follow the Greeks in turn order, I was the first to see this message.

Apologies for any misrepresentation of the facts. It was unintentional.

BTW, there is supposed to be a way to change the language folders around so the messages appear in English. This might be the best way to handle this problem.

I believe that slamp was able to do this.
