Headlines from around the world!
PHILIPPINES FALL TO JOINT CHINESE-INDIAN ATTACK.
RAPE OF OSAKA; CHINESE BRUTALITY TO CITIZENS.
JAPAN HOLDS OUT IN KYOTO.
--
The Czar has reclaimed Sevastopol! In a clever move, he moved his fleet stationed in Rumania to seize the important naval base on the Black Sea. A determined Austrian attack by the Archduke took Rumania. The Sultan's fleet in Sevastopol was lost, along with Grand Admiral Basak Orhan, who lost his life on the SS Turkish Pride. He sank with his ship, a veritable hero. Not all is lost, however! The Turks have taken control of the Black Sea and even mobilized an army in a prime position to retake the strategic location. But with the Italians mobilizing eastward, no one knows if they bring aid or doom.
Austria also appears surrounded. It keeps Italy squeezed, unable to expand north. Italy indeed has gone on the defensive, repelling very successfully a Austrian push to Venice. The beautiful glass is safe for the moment. A border skirmish was also fought over Galicia with Russia, the lumbering giant of Europe.
The leadership in Great Britain, meanwhile, is in shambles. Great popular dissent to the war brews within the populace. The Fleet in the Barents Sea was quickly recalled. The Prime Minister did manage to take Picardy successfully, and this feat has been hailed in Britain as a astounding success. Although it is true that nobody was prepared for an attack, it is more like the first victory for the British and many officials scoff it as "mere luck."
Germany takes the Northern Sea, an area rich in oil fields. Autarky may be in store for the astute Germans. They expand in all directions, determined to forge a glorious empire for the Germans to live in.

He wakes up, screaming more gibberish.
Head Nurse Florence Watson rushes over to calm him down.
"Sir! Sir! Remain calm!" she yells.
He stares at her in the eyes. Blue eyes, just like his. It's almost like a hypnotizing effect. He slows his breathing. And then -- a sudden panic! He flails.
"Sir! Mr. Smith!"
"Who is Mr. Smith?!" His voice is hysterical. "Oh, God, why don't I remember?" His fingers claw at the bed, rendering scratches that look like the huge marks that Florence's cat made at home before he got declawed.
"It's you, sir! You work for the Counter-Intelligence Agency!"
"The CIA!" Sweat beads down his forehead like water rolling down a duck's back.
"Oh God, no, don't take me back there, no!" Florence is secretly glad that he at least remembers something.
"They're the ones, the conspiracy, the aliens, the time travel, the spiders, the red, the blue, they're all coming!" He's crying, clawing at his head madly. She runs over, tries to restrain him. She calls the nurses.
"These thoughts, in my head, by God, get them out get them out get them out!"
She bites her lip.
"Who am I?! You tell me! WHO AM I?!"
They inject drugs into his body, so many, a volatile combination. He's crazy, they've decided. Absolutely crazy. But they keep him around, because it's wrong to just kill somebody. And so they wait. When he wakes up from this point on, he never speaks. And so they wait, for him to say something, for him to react, to anything!

Well....huh. That changes things. Guess we won't be negotitating with England...
His sig says to be gone until the 14th, so I guess if you want to wait then Monday is the first possible day to assign. 
@Foozicaba: In my very limited experience, what separates a good diplo player from a less good one is that the good player keeps all options open and never carries grudges. He tried to take your home center? So what, he did what was best for him at the time. If at this time you find a reason to work with him, don't let that cloud your vision.
