Diplomacy Zine -- EP #208 Chapter Seven From: Eric_S_Klien@cup.portal.com Date: Fri, 09 Nov 1990 23:37:20 +0000 Issue #208 of ELECTRONIC PROTOCOL: ************************************************************************* From the November 2, 1990 Boston Globe: Dear Miss Manners: I went to the post office to get stamps and other items. The polite young lady who served me made no effort to avert her head when she suddenly let forth an enormous sneeze, all over my purchase and her hands. Rather than make an unkind comment, I timidly let the matter go and grudgingly collected my change and items, but I wonder what you would have done under the circumstances -- if anything. After all, she could have turned her head away when she felt the sneeze coming on, and not shared any germs. Gentle Reader: Miss Manners would have confined herself to uttering a mild "Bless you", perhaps accompanied by the polite request, "I wonder if you might give me some dry stamps instead." ************************************************************************* Chapter One contains: BAGHDAD, AUSTERLITZ, BLITZKRIEG, KING'S GAMBIT, PASSCHENDAELE, GET SOME, DRAGONS, BLACK OCTOBER And is published by uunet!cti1!rlister or rlister@cti.com/Russ Lister Chapter Two contains: REPUBLIC, BORODINO, JACAL, VERSAILLES, DRESDEN, KHAN And is published by sinhaa@mcmaster.ca/Anand Sinha Chapter Three contains: DAWN PATROL, BERLIN, EL ALAMEIN, SQUALANE, UNGAWE, BRUSILOV OFFENSIVE, CULLODEN, GANDALF'S REVENGE, GOODBYE BLUE SKY And is published by cwekx@htikub5.bitnet/Constantijn Wekx Chapter Four contains: OZARK, DEADLY DAGGERS, YORKTOWN, MONTREUIL-SUR-MER, FIRE WHEN READY, THUNDERDOME And is published by dm8sstaf@miamiu.bitnet/Douglas M.

Questions about a potential invasion of French territories, were discarded with the remarks "Surely we can't feed our soldiers French bread" and "Who wants Paris if one has Berlin". Although these remarks seemed to make perfect sense from a German point of view, the French ambassador still expressed his concerns by saying he didn't like German bread either. *NOTICE* I'm *not* interested in forwarding moves.

When asked what they might do next, General "Biff" Abdulnazeraet quipped, "Well, dude, we were like, thinking of taking up surfing, you know dude?" New York: English Capital Moves! After centuries of being the center of the English Empire, London will no longer be the capital of England. England's new King, Anand I, decided to move the capital to Camelot, between London and Bristol. Merlin, the King's advisor, over saw the construction of the new castle, as well as the new Parliament Buildings in Camelot. The feeling of the country about this move is good, as that allows Buckingham Palace to be turned into houses and apartments, which would lower the rent rates in London. Also, since the King owns these lands himself, he plans to turn over 75% of the rent money collected to the government and to cut taxes. This idea was approved by all. Liverpool: The shipyards were not inactive this winter, despite the government's lack of spending for the Royal Navy. Consultants for the Pope visited the shipyards to learn how to build a better warship. The Pasta-powered boats that the Italian Navy used in the past few years were effective, but not as effective as the Royal Navy in the past three years. Naples: The Pope's Third Fleet set out today for the Mediterranean. The crew was very excited about the `Lepanto` exercises that they were to undertake. The crew spent a great deal of time learning Arabic phrases... Camelot: King Anand I, after having spent the winter back home in England, decided that he did not want to search for the perfect French Fry after all, and decided to visit the lands of the Norsemen raiders, Norway. He took over from Admiral Sarah Sinha, command of the Northern fleets, while giving her command of the Southern fleets and the English 1st army. He has hinted at a desire to see the palace of the Czar. Constantinople Enquirer ----------------------- "Shah Giggles Heartily at news from Russia" The inner circles of the royal household are whispering about the news of the former assistant to the Czar being escorted out to get a little rest. Apparently, the Shah got a good chuckle (or perhaps a solid guffaw) from the news. The Shah apparently wondered aloud what exactly had driven the poor fellow over the edge, and the foreign secretary offered the explination that, "perhaps he has delusions that everyone is as twofaced as himself?" Which, it is said, gained him considerable standing in the Shah's eyes. The Weekly World News, Vatican Edition, Spring '04. (Living on a Prayer...) GREECE THROWS OUT ORTHODOX CHURCH, REVERTS TO CATHOLOCISM (Athens) The New Greek Council today changed the official religion of Greece from the traditional Eastern Orthodox that it followed since the fall of the Roman Empire back to the Catholic faith. Present at the auspicious occasion were Pope Franjesco I and members of the Holy Roman Marine Corps, in full military dress, one standing behind each member of the Council. Afterwards the Pope gave a rousing sermon saying that he hopes that the whole world will someday be unified under one God and one Church. IMMIGRATION COUNCIL UNDER SCRUTINY (Vatican City) The Vatican Immigration Council is being held under scrutiny by the World Court over its restrictions on incoming people to the Holy City. This comes after a complaint made by representatives of the United Kingdom when it was found that a visa would not be granted to Admiral Sinha and her 2000 naval personnel. More on this as events unfold. AND NOW, A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR: Italy -> Anand: There! I spelled your name right! Now stop sending your fleets against me! :) Turkey->Italy: None taken.

(Cross this line, you die! Okay, cross THIS line, you die...) Note to our readers: The Pope, in a fit of depression over having to stab SOMEONE has decided not to publish today's paper in full format, other than to say this: Italy -> Turkey: Sorry. I had to make a stance sometime, and the offer from Russia was too good to pass up. Besides, you should watch what you tell others about me... From our Illustrious Editor: Pope Franjesco I of Helm's Deep, #57. "Shah Hassan Enjoys Bath with Rubber Ducky" Shah Hassan took his prize flagship with him in his bathing excercises and happily splashed about the Royal Bath. When asked what he might do now that it was fairly certain that the Black Sea would be available for his bathing pleasure for the forseable future, Shah Hassan replied that he planned to, kick his legs together and make big waves. The Weekly World News, Vatican Edition, Fall '04. (Read by four out of five reformed Greek Catholics...) GERMANY NEXT TARGET TO WIPE OUT START OF PROTESTANTISM (Rome) After secret council with top aides and advisors, Pope Franjesco I declared Germany to be a land of "outlaws, heathens, and Satan worshippers". Expeditionary forces into the outskirts of Germany have reported many heinous crimes committed against the church, such as Beer-drinking, using of veal for schnitzel, and black forest cake. In the words of the Pope, "Germany is where it all started. Now if we can stamp Germany out, we will fulfill our goal of uniting the world under one church. Yes, Germany, ... and England" (Vienna) Pope Franjesco I was present as the Holy Popian Army took over the capital of the renegade Austria-Hungary. He rode in his Golden Chariot driven by Benn Hurr MMMCDCLXXVII, descendent of the original Benn Hurr. The capture of Vienna gives the Popian army a launch point for the attack into Germany. AND NOW, A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR: Italy -> Germany: Don't believe a word of it! I would never attack you! Never! Not without Russia's help! Italy -> Turkey: Thanks for getting Russia off my case, now I can do it all myself. -- Pope Franjesco I London: The newly constructed high class, low rent apartment buildings that stand where Buckingham Palace used to rest, are now open. The 72-storey building has 63 floors of flats, 10 flats to a floor. On the 12th floor is a full gymnasium with sauna, Olympic sized pool, weights and aerobics studio (for future use). There are restaurants and shops, as well as physicians on hand. Rent for one of these luxurious flats is 20 pounds sterling per month. They are going quickly. Budapest: Help! Help me!! Please help!! Moscow: The new assistant to the Czar held his first press conference. "We shall fight on the beaches! We shall fight in the streets! We shall NEVER SURRENDER!! Huh? Wrong war? Wrong COUNTRY? Oh man, well, we'll pound the Turks into the dirt before we die!" London: The English drive into Lesser Britain was stalled in the Spring by Gauls and disposed Flemish soldiers. However, promised King Anand, the German offensive into Burgundy will give us the leverage to re-unite that which was once ours. Camelot: No news yet on the impending birth of a new Royal Child. The days are getting fewer. Somewhere at Sea: Admiral Sarah Sinha finally broke her silence on being denied a visitor visa into Italy. "I only wanted to go visit Italy with my boyfriends. Why do I have 2000 boyfriends? Because, I want to. Just because my father says I can't date until I am 40, has nothing to do with that..."

Minister of Communications Hung for Treason! ______________________________________________________________________ London - Sources close to the Prime Minister report that a French Spy was revealed to be a member of the Prime Minister's own cabinet. The Minister of Communications, Lord Talkabout, was sentenced to death by hanging for crimes against the state. His mistress, Lady Chat-erly, herself an agent of MI5, turned in State's Evidence against the Minister on Wednesday. Reporting that his French codename was Fermez-la-bouche!, she also revealed that the Minister had managed to disrupt British naval communications for nearly a full year. It is not clear just how much damage has been done. Some analysts speculate that the Minister was able to betray nearly all of England's naval orders to the French, and talk of a French invasion has run through the streets of London. One source, who must remain anonymous, reported that the Minister's actions had very nearly crippled the government, and could have thrown the country into civil disorder. It has been perhaps the most dramatic episode of the war, causing one to doubt whether or not the French can be conquered. A lone intelligence fleet in the Barents Sea reports incalculable might being mustered by the Russian Bear. Although reports of a German offensive continue to pour in from Eastern Europe, many cannot help but wonder : "Will it be enough?" Press: Le Figaro, Paris - NEW NAVAL COMMANDER The nation holds its breath as French forces prepare to Liberate Brest. Le Marquis du T'Jin et Osse, as Supreme Commander of th "L French Forces, has personally taken command. He appointed a new Naval Commander, The Duke Jean-Luc du Picacher" du Picardy, a distant cousin of the late Admiral Blood et Guts. The Duke's military record is impressive. He has served both in the Army and the Navy. For years, he has been the righthand of the late Admiral Blood et Guts, taking command when Blood et Guts was in front of the mirror or in his chamber with 'Ce Great men'... which was quite often. The Duke is one of the most decorated heroes of the nation - he recently received the Medal of the HEROIC/STUPID (depending upon the outcome) for his performance during the Battle for Lisabon. THE 'VENDETTA TRIAL' General Vendetta has been found not guilty of treason by the Tribunal. He has, however, been found guilty of stupidity but in light of his personality conflict regarding his alledged homosexuality, all charges were dropped. General Vendetta commented "They say I am a homosexual. They keep saying that... eventhough no young men were seen near my chambers since last month. I love women, I always will. But there are more important things going on. I will do whatever it takes to liberate Brest. Le Marquis has shown mercy in the 'Blood et Guts Affaire' and I wish to make sure that my loyalty to Le Marquis can not, at any time, be doubted. Our forces will soon be ready for the liberation of Brest. We also have Special Forces ready... we keep them on a leash in the basements... can't risk them attacking our own people. INTERNATIONAL NEWS: Gascony - The Italian delegation was warmly welcomed by Lady Luscious Fruits at her castle Good Times. Thus far, the visit has not had results since meetings do not meet in the meetingroom but in the bedrooms. Other News: The Ministry of Finance, in an effort to raise the necessary funds required by the warmachine, has raised the taxes on condoms. As the Minister of Finance, Cash Le Moneij, stated "We desperately need more funds... a lot of money. We figured that the people wouldn't mind making personal sacrifices on behalf of the nation". Monsieur Pickx of the Consumer Association warned that the people may not be willing to mae such sacrifices. "Raising taxes on women's underwear: fine. Raising taxes on petrol: fine. Raise taxes on anything: fine but don't mess with 'personal appetites'!!! It's political suicide... on the other hand, perhaps the soldiers will blame ce English!"

The Aliens were chased away when a two-headed sheep herder came came out of the hills screaming about the coming of the Apocolypse. "Lollipop Licks Africans" [Tunis, Italy] - The good ship Lollipop arrived in Tunis last month and immediately began distributing candy to the locals as a token of friendship. The Lollipop also carried a supply of Holy Objects to be distributed to such local citizens as chose to convert to Catholicism. The Pope, arriving with the Lollipop, claimed that each specially blessed cross-shaped "Holy Toothbrush," when used in the Holy Ritual described in the instructions (included), would ward off the evil demons soon to visit the mouths of the citizens of the small country. It was, in fact, the Pope's desire to help fight these demons that had brought him to these shores. Many locals were, at first, hesitant to believe that the Toothbrushes could be objects of spiritual power as they contained not the smallest amount of Jackal dung or serpent skin. However, when the demons arrived in force a week ago, as predicted by the Pope, the rate of requests for Conversion reached unprecedented levels. Today, when the demons appeared in the mouth of one of the members of the royal family, Catholicism was adopted as the new official religion. Shortly after this announcement, the Pope received a vision from God that he could only share with the Tunisian royal family. In other news, a few hours later, Tunisia requested, and was granted, annexation by the Kingdom of Italy. "Concert Date Announced" [Trieste] -Though there is still some question as to whether a scheduling conflict may arise, tickets went on sale Wednesday for the Winter Concert of the Italian Bagpipe Brigade. The Brigade, known throughout the world as the highest quality Scottish folk0 music outside of the British Isles and the forerunner in modern and Avante Garde bagpipe composition, has honored our fair city by scheduling their concert in our opera house. The concert is scheduled to feature traditional ballads as well as some original works by Italian composers for the bagpipe and an adaption of an operetta (to be announced) to the bagpipe. It is rumored that some members of the Italian royal family may perform and perhaps even solo in the final piece.
