Since SunTzu didn't show up this weekend, I supposed I could play another round.

Not much happened, German traders reached Buffalo.
German scientists develop General Staffs.

US turn will be up sometime tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay, I was distracted by a MP


American Irregulars have moved into the interiour of China, where they are needed for the continuing struggle against the Chinese. The Japanese should not be fooled however: their claim on Peking is null and void untill the city is under Japanese rule. For now however, we will let the Japanese toy with the Chinese Queen and her feeble army.
The US army saw little action, busy as they were restoring order in the central-asian conquests of last month. Reinforcements were send to replace the battle-fatigued troops.

US economy experiences a major boom, now that four French cities around the globe have various American goods for sale on their markets. Sugar was on high demand in Indo-China, while Iron Ore filled Damascus' empty storage facilities. Copper prices in Djibuty had skyrocketed, bringing a hefty profit to Californian enterprises.

for Case.

should we start looking for a sub/replacement for Tzu?

 

[Case]

New System of Government Developed

The Professor of Political Science at Cambridge has developed a new form of government: 'Imperialism'. A British Parliamentry commitee is currently investigating the pros and cons of changing to this form of government.

Ok, it's been a full three weeks since SunTzu said he'd be back in 'a week', and this is the third time he's disappeared. How long are we going to wait this time?

 

[Case]

Let's find a replacement. Sun Tzu is way too unreliable.

 

[jamesjkirk]

Japanese productivity tops the world and is rising

France rules!!!

 

[germanos]

The list of 'Players wanted' seems endless

However, I'm all for finding a new player for Germany.

 

[Eivind IV]

If you want me, I can take Germany

 

[Darius]

No objection here.

 

[Ohwell]

Excuse me for intruding but...

Darius! Play your bloody zwk and SAC turns!!

Thank you.

 

[jamesjkirk]

go ahead and take it eivind

 

[germanos]

Please do take it Eivind.
I'll send you the password by PM.

 

[Darius]

Based on this, I'm assuming Case would be the only one to oppose, especially considering Choke is also willing to play. What's the word?

 

[Eivind IV]

Bugger!I thought this was over. Yes, I did cheat once. A long time ago. In the first PBEM I was in. And for which, I am terribly sorry. And no, I havn't cheated ever since. And yes, I am reformed. And no, I will never do something as stupid again. What more can I say? I just wanted to help you guys out...

 

[Darius]

As I've played with you in numerous games since then of course I don't oppose you joining; I was just noting that the decision basically lies with Case.

 

[Case]

Eivind, as Darius vouches for you I have no problem whatsoever with you joining. Welcome aboard

Eivind: Darius, Case and me were in the first PBEM you played
In fact, this game is the emidiate follow-up on that one .

I must say that I received an apology from you a few months later, completely out of the blue, and this has lead me to beleive you have indeed 'reformed'.

Good luck, and if you still want the position, let's roll.
