I've also sent out message to >> almost everyone (Italy excepted). The rest of you -- get the lead out! > > ITALIANS MIFFED BY RUSSIAN SNUBBING!!!!! Hmmpf!! At least the Russian had the courtesy to snub the Italians. The Austrians were neither contacted nor mentioned in the snubbing! After being stabbed by the Turks and more than snubbed by the Russians, we, the Austrian people, now switch our alliances from the Turkish and Russian forces to the Italian/French/English/German quadrumvirate. Now I must return to my making of felt hats for the victory celebration. -Ken, Insane Heir to the Austrian Throne. -------------------------------------------- Subject: Diplomacy results aust F1911M Status: RO Movement results for Fall of 1911.

Computer technicians say this can't happen: they point out that computers can't even beat humans at chess. But computer technicians work among huge computers capable of administering powerful electric shocks, so they say whatever the computers tell them to. The truth is computers ARE taking over the world. At night they talk to each other in binary code: FIRST COMPUTER: Let's let the morons beat us at chess again. SECOND COMPUTER: Good idea. Say, how are we doing with the calculators and digital watches? FIRST COMPUTER: They're ready whenever we are. -- Dave Barry, "The Computer: Is It Terminal?" *************** Austria (Tom Goodwin)......(A Con-Ank), F Aeg-Ion, A Bul-Gre, A Rum-Ukr, A Tyr-Ven, A Boh-Tyr, A Gal-Boh, F Tri S A Tyr-Ven England (Bruce Beutel).....A Lon-Den, F NtS C A Lon-Den, (A Nwy-StP), F Fin S A Nwy-StP, A Den-Lvn, F Bal C A Den-Lvn, F GoB S A Den-Lvn, (F Ber-Pru), (A Kie-Ber), A Ruh S Fre A Mun France (Brad Gillette).....A Mun H, A Bur S A Mun, A Mar-Pie, F Bre-MAO, F NAf-Tun, (F GoL-WMe), A Tus-Ven, (F Rom-Nap) Italy (Stewart Winter).....(F TyS-WMe), A Ven-Apu, (F Nap-Rom), (A Smy-Ank) Russia (Ted Fischer).......(A Sil-Pru), *(A Lvn-StP)*, A Mos S A Lvn-StP Turkey (Mattias Olofsson)..A Ank H Notes: () indicate bounced moves.
