These brave sailors went to their death in an act of barbarous Christian treachery. The Italians (May they never find a clean change of underwear) who we have allowed a peaceful refuge in Tunis joined forces with the French (May the snail shells tear their rectum on the way out) in an unprovoked attack. This is one more instance of French (May their men continue to have trouble getting an erection) designs at world domination. Our Sultan (May his garden bear fruit all year long) has pledged that he will not allow this to go unanswered. He has vowed that our enemies will die like dogs. Further he pledges that he will not allow this advance to go unchecked. To help in this time of need volunteers formed a new fleet and an army. The Sultan (May he never suffer from headaches) sent them towards our enemies to bring them to their knees! The Sultan (May he never have an upset stomach) said, "The infidel will regret this, and shall pay 100 times!" Our troops are prepared to fight to the death to stop this latest Crusade. ------------------------ Adjustment orders for Winter of 1907. (aust.029) Russia: Removes the fleet in the Gulf of Bothnia.

Though the Duke of Brest is formally in charge, the Marquis remains the one in power. The Duke has been sighted at the palace in Picardy several times. According to the butler he has been conferring with the Marquis regarding matters of state. Several ministers also dropped by from time to time. Portugal - MARQUISE ELIZABETH VISITS LISBON Marquise Elizabeth arrived in Lisbon yesterday evening for a visit with the Duchess of Iberia, Carina de Hallmanto I Granada. The extended vacation serves as a rest for the Marquise who recently suffered some sort of break- down. According to Father Maranata, the Marquise's physician and spiritual guider, the stay in Portugal may stabalize her. signoff ------------------------ Broadcast message from STAL031@KUB.NL as France in aust: Le Figaro, Marseilles - NAVY AGAIN VICTORIOUS, ARMY'S PERFORMANCE QUESTIONED Vice-Admiral Jean-Jacques Rapier was decorated with the Royal Phoenix for his outstanding performance as Commander of Ist fleet. The Duke of Brest appointed Rapier as the new Surpreme Naval Commander. The latest victory by the French Navy may very well enforse France's position in the negotia- tions with Sultan Roger. However insiders question the utility of the negotiations given the latest statemenst from the Sultan. The Duke of Brest warned the Turkish government that France would not be intimidated by empty rethoric. "We have the utmost confidence in Admiral Rapier and the French Navy. A revaluation will take place regarding the First and Second Armies and if neccesary I will replace the high command! Gentlemen, I have always fought for a peaceful France, a France that would be able to live among nations with respect and honor. A France that minds it's own business. But if the Sultan interprets my posture as weak, he is sorely mistaken! France will continue to pursue the goals and objectives by my cousin the Marquis du Tj'In and will succeed!!!" signoff ------------------------ Broadcast message from STAL031@KUB.NL as France in aust: Le Figaro: AUSTRIAN EMPEROR ATTEMPTS SUICIDE! Vienna - Sources in Emperor Ken's residence in Vienna have disclosed that the Emperor made a "suicide attempt". According to a Lady-in-waiting (not pregnant) she witnessed the "attempt" through a hole in the wall which the emperor often uses to "admire" her. The Lady-in-waiting has stated that a Turkish bodyguard "helped" Emperor Ken lift a pistol to his head. The gun went off and both she and the bodyguard thought the Emperor to be dead. Too bad for the Sultan, fortunate for the Lady-in-waiting, Emperor Ken's skull is one of the toughest in Europe! His condition is reported to be critical but the son of a bitch is still alive! The Duke of Brest, once a friend of the Emperor, has contacted Kaiser Thomas about sending Herr Doctor Frederic von Frankensteyn, a renowned German brian specialist to Vienna with the Order of St. Fransiscus who intend to pass through Vienna on their way to Jerusalem. The Duke hopes that von Frankensteyn will not arrive too late. The Marquis has also expressed his concern for Emperor Ken's welfare. The Marquis had send a team of medics to Vienna a year or so ago with a experimintal drug for the "mentally affected". The team however never arrived. Rumor has it that they liked the Swiss bars so much they decided to emigrate. signoff ------------------------ Broadcast message from STAL031@KUB.NL as France in aust: Le Figaro, Paris - ... History of the Russian-Turkish relations 1901-1908... ******************* In the following article, Honorary prof. Boris Bogus Romanov at the University of Paris sheds his light on the recent developments in the Russian-Turkish relations from a historical perspective. Romanov was Special Advisor on Inter- national relations to Czar Rick I till his defection to France in 1903. Romanov was also the Director of the "Czar Rick the Great Institute for HTGSBT- Sciences from 1882-1903 in Moscow. (note from the editor: HTGS = How To Get Screwed, Blued & Tattood). ******************* Much of the recently exponetial decline of the (once so great) Russian Empire can be explained, and by (the Russian Orthodox) God, even be forecasted! During my years as Director of the Institute for HTGSBT-sciences, the Czar later changed the name, and during my time as one of his senior advisors, I have always warned him for the Sultans of Turkey. When in 1901, Czar Rick ordered his Minister of Finance, I forgot his name, weird individual, to transfer 80,000 pounds of the gold reserves to Constantinople for the financing of the Turkish war machine, I told him: "Rick my boy, I knew your father - the rumors of me "knowing" his mother were not valid - I said, "Rick, do not trust the Turks! Sooner or later, they will turn on us. It's in the nature of the Turks. Not that they are an evil people per se, but the fact that they are Moslim and we Christians - well, formally speaking of course - gives them other interests and objectives to pursue in the long run." Alas, as usual Czar Rick did not listen. I saw this coming! Czar Rick was always a over confident child. He used to drag his father's sword, twice his size through the Palace at St.Petersburg, screaming he'll kick anybody's butt if the tried to talk it away from him. Nobody paif attention to his screams when his younger sister took the sword, gave him a beating and tell him to shuit up. Anyway, he later realized that he had created a monster. But this moment of humility, that he too could make mistakes was a fleeting one. According to my successor at the institute Czar Rick soon imagined that he could keep the beast on a leash... if I may use yet another simily, it's like asking a four year olf child to walk a matured Danish Dog! Anyway, I saw it coming, that's why I had to defect. Soon, the Turks will control all of Mother Russia and that, thanks for a Czar who refused to see the light! signoff ------------------------ Broadcast message from STAL031@KUB.NL as France in aust: Le Figaro, Tunis - LIBERATION ITALIAN PENINSULA AT HAND Admiral Pentagelli joined his French collegue, Admiral Jean-Jacques Rapier today for lunch to discuss the upcomming naval manuevres. Experts agree that either a limited naval campaign or a full scale one shall be launch against the Turkish Armed forces in order to liberate the peninsula. Commander Salvatore Gecci of the "Vendetta le Giorno" stated that, although the Turkish naval remains a strong one in the region, the Turks have been fooled twice already by the joint French Italian strategists. "Ha! The Turks (may they forget the joys of a good lay) will never know what hit them! One of or top-scientists has developed a new secret weapon that shall be mounted on both the "Vendetta le Giorno" and the "Viva Italia". We will have these Moslims eat pork after all!!! signoff ------------------------ Broadcast message from ROGER@nuacc.acns.nwu.edu as Turkey in aust: Smyrna (IP) Today our beloved Sultan (May he always remain regular) announced that he was going to be allowing the Italian state to join the Empire. He said that "I am though with these French (May they develop a deep satisfing love for romain lettuce) rogues claming to be Italian." He offered as proof of this a letter from the Italian Visar, Siad Ibn Wopner, stating that he has always been in control of Italy. Further he presented a painting of Visar Wopner, in his previous post as judge of Rome, as proof of this. The Sultan (May he always have a true heart) also said, if the the pirates in Tunis are Italian and not French (May the DEA sieze their homes), why do they fight us? Recent data has show that they have always been available to support the French (May they have a major outbreak of crabs), thus revealing them as little more than stooges! In fact, there are three stooges, Pentagelli (May he stub his toes often) and the Tj'In brothers (May they never have any offspring). The Sultan (May he continue to sleep well at night) has offered a rich reward for anyone who brings the Three Stooges to his palace! The Sultan (May he never pass gas in public) also announced that a new arms program has already paid dividends, and will soon bear the sweetest of fruits. Details were not given, but an informed source has reported that a change of Quaranicle proportions will soon be seen. When told of French (May their noses never stop running) efforts in this area the Sultan (May he never walk against the wind) said "The only thing these idiots could develop is a good case of acne!" ------------------------ Broadcast message from westerm@bchm1.aclcb.purdue.edu as Russia in aust: Frog legs with sauerkraut on English muffins. Yum! -- Czar Rick signoff ------------------------ Broadcast message from STAL031@KUB.NL as France in aust: Le Figaro, Paris - RUSSIAN DEMAGOGUE CZAR RICK SPINELESS EUROPEAN LEADER?! In an effort to save the once great Russian Empire, the Duke of Brest sent a special envoy to Czar Rick at his residence in Warsaw. Much to the Duke's surprise, the Czar refused any assistance. Experts of the Marquise Elizabeth Foundation assert that the Sultan's been using biological micro-scale weapons on his opponents. The drug would have been used on Emperor Ken of Austria and now on Czar Rick. The drug is refer- red to in innercircles as "The Sultan's Love Potion" and alledgedly would be derived, among others, from a rare flower growing in the mountains of Budapest. Intelligence services of the Alliance are preparing secret missions to get rid of the current supplies of these flowers in the area. Nevertheless, the Duke of Brest reacted with outrage at the seemingly spineless gutless posture of the once admired Czar for his unwillingness to help prevent Turkish soldiers to pillage Russian women and rape Russian fields! signoff ------------------------ Broadcast message from ROGER@nuacc.acns.nwu.edu as Turkey in aust: Constantinople (IP) The Sultan (May he never get popcorn stuck between his teeth) wishes to express his outrage at the latest French (May it always rain on their parades) insults directed at the Czar. The Sultan (May his children never cause him grief) has always valued Czar Rick's advice and has always felt that he is one of Europe's greatest rulers. Further, the Sultan (May his tulips have flowers for a long time) wishes to tell the French (May they never have a picnic when they aren't bothered by ants and flies) that we have never produced any sort of love potion. It is a well known fact that the Sultan (May he never be bothered by back pain) secretes his own love potion! The Sultan (May he continue to have a head full of hair) was heard to say, "Just because the French (May their women always have headaches) need to use drugs to persuade people doesn't mean that I have to!" The Sultan (May his fantasy baseball team do well this year) has come up with a new program: France - Just say NO! ------------------------ Broadcast message from loeb@nestor.greco-prog.fr as Master in aust: I would like to welcome our two latest observers gvsteen@kub.nl and scottb@cs.utexas.edu. Scott has some press he wanted me to post. (The "broadcast" command is available if you had wanted to post it yourself.) ITALIAN GOVERNMENT-IN-EXILE ALMOST OUSTED NAVAL BOMBARDMENT THWARTS COUP By Scott Boland (Special to the New York Times) TUNIS - Last night dissatisfied radical fringe elements of the Italian Legislature-in-exile moved against the government, taking hostage the members of the Cabinet. For ten hours the renegade junta, composed of, as one informed source describes it, "an unholy alliance of anti-war activists, Turkish sympathizers, irredentists, and assorted crackpots and hangers-on" actually held the reins of power, going so far as to issue orders to the Italian fleet in Tunis harbor. But the coup proved short-lived, as the internal contrad[Cdictions in the rebel alliance displayed themselves and the Navy refused to follow the junta's orders. At dawn the fleet shelled the government offices and marines freed the Cabinet. Marine Lieutenant Giancarlo Montalbani is quoted as saying of the operation: "We gave the rebels a whiff of the grape and they found the vintage not to their liking." Apparently the operation was not a complete success, as many of the junta leaders were able to escape. In a press release coup organizer Carlo Benedetto vowed never to surrender himself to authorities nor to cease his campaign to lead his Christian Anarchist party to power "if not in my beloved homeland Italia, then wherever in the world the forces of corruption give me a foothold." ------------------------ Movement results for Spring of 1908.

The unit which is referred to by insiders as "the wire boys" would be wholy devoted to "PROJECT RELAY". The Project if succesful would mean a significant improvement of the current communications capabilities in France. Though details are not known, the project would enable heads of governments, high ranking diplomats and military personnel to communicate almost instantaneously with each other, thereby making planning and coordiantion of political and military maneuvres easier and less time consuming. The Ministry of the Interior is involved in this project. Insiders claim that the FSS unit has given the implementation of the lines to London top-priority. At this very moment, engineers are studying ways to install the necessary links to the British Isles. Prof.Dr.Ir. Gerard Duvall, of the University de Paris, commented on the feasibility of such plans. "If it works, and theoretically speaking it is possible, it would indeed be a great advantage for ce Alliance. However, ce problem with cese things is that one needs experts on both sides. I remember my time with the FSS. MI6 consists of brilliant spies, master assassins. There 00-section is one of the most feared operative-units in Europe. But their technology... Mondeju, it sucks. We French have always placed a higher priority on such things. Anyway, ce point is, as long as MI6 does not recruit the neccesary experts... this thing will not come of ce ground. They must, from their side, determine how they're going to implement things. Given ce situation in ce world we can not give any assistance." signoff ============================================================================ Black October -- Spring 1905 ============================================================================ ::--> Black October, Spring 05.

Military offices were closed to the press corps and the Minister of Commerce threatened to halt exports of French wine to those countries. Meanwhile there have been reports of German troop maneuvers near the Ruhr. One military source said that French Republic troops were being moved into Burgundy to counter the heriditary hostility the German people possess. At press time this report could not be confirmed. The foreign office said that Her Majesty's government across the channel has not responded to this alleged alliance with Germany, though it is hoped that news from White Hall will soon be available. ============================================================================ Get Some -- Fall & Winter 1908 ============================================================================ Greetings, Here are the results for Diplomacy game #81 (Get Some) for Fall 1908.

By I urge the remaining players Italy, Russia, and Turkey to stick with the game and vote against any two-player draw proposed. Two-player draws can never be earned they can only be given away. England and France are asking for a draw for you to give them a draw because they know that otherwise they would be forced to clear the board. In order to do so, they would have to split the supply centers EXACTLY 17-17. Even if they managed to do that, England would probably lose in a last second stab by France. There is no reason for us to vote for such a draw which includes none of us. If they want to end the game, let's see if they trust each other down to the wire, or let them include us in the draw.

One player was late with his retreats and I still haven't found a replacement for the player who dropped out. Sorry for the delay. Also I'm not in town from Friday, 8 Mar 1991 to Friday, 15 Mar 1991. I don't think we can make another move before that, due to the missing replacement player. So I'm setting the deadline far ahead to Monday, 18 Mar 1991. Next Phase: ----------- Next Phase is Moves for Fall 1904 Deadline is Monday, 18 Mar 1991 <* Kai Hortmann - chbrin5@dknkurz1.bitnet - Konstanz - Germany *> ****************************************************************************** To join in the fun, send your name, home address, home and work phone numbers, and country preferences to Eric_S_Klien@cup.portal.com. ****************************************************************************** If you don't own Diplomacy, you can buy it at your local hobby store or from Avalon Hill directly.
