Russia here... Since I'm about to go by the wayside next turn, I would just like to say a hearty "f**k off and die" to England, as it's a result of your bonehead play that I never had a chance in hell of surviving, when if given the chance I could've help prevent the Turkish advance. Turkey, I hope you earn that solo, because you deserve it. You shouldn't have to stoop to the level of drawing with the bonehead Englishman who repeatedly made dumb move after dumb move.

I'm out.

Heh... that's the funniest thing I've heard all day. What have I done to piss you off? Maybe I was a little stubborn with Italy and France, but you've got no reason to be pissed off. You said a while back I should "give you Norway to help protect StP". As you can see, StP is perfectly well insured against the Turk. You just ****ed me about with a whistlestop tour of Scandinavia with your fleet. Don't blame me for any ineptness in the south.

France and Italy,

As you can see, Marseilles does indeed require the support of the Gascon unit. Thanks for letting me move there. France, I urge you to disband F IRI. It makes no difference if you survive with two units or three, and I am in no position to attack you without handing the game to Turkey. My fleets are heading for the Baltic to make sure of the safety of Berlin, and a disband for myself is more risky than a disband for you. Alternatively, disband A Bre and get your fleet back into MAO where it is needed.

Tunis and Naples look lost, but Munich, St Petersburg and Marseilles seem secure for the time being... fingers crossed.

(Edited) Well, swift of me, sorry Boshko.

France here.

Okay England. I am not thrilled with your positioning but I am willing to play ball. I'm disbanding A Brest. Do not worry about F IRI. I am sending it to MAO to help the Italians hold back the Turks. The fleet is simply too valueable to disband, and my armies mean next to nothing. Please try to get a fleet into the BAL and an A in KIE. I will loan one of my armies to you as a "French Foreign Legion" if you wish. You know just one to send to the front to do grunt work, cut supports, add supports, get put at risk, etc. Until then A Pairs can support Burgundy or assume the role of your GAS army should it move east.

Italy. No problem on you taking Portugal. I know that you had to do it. Please give some indication of what you'd like me to do with my fleet. As of now I am coming to MAO to assist you holding back Turkey.

Russia. I know the feeling brother. Sorry but I have throw down with these guys.

What the hell kind of game is this, SED is everybody, somebody please enlighten me.

It's a grey dip. It's like a gunboat game, except that we can communicate openly.... Of course, you cannot be sure that the person who claims to be France really is France... Etc.

But of course I am French! Can you not smell me!
