Hi all, Mike checking in here.  I am ready to roll when you guys are.  A
little about myself:  I work for UC Berkeley as a senior analyst and my job
keeps me quite busy.  However, there's always time for WL ;-).  I am
married, no kids (thus the time to play), and live in the SF Bay area.  I
look forward to an enjoyable game.


Mike

PS  No, WarBOT does not give me any advantages, although there are many
times I wish it would ;-)

"From out of the Great Wasteland there emerged a Man.  A man of many talents
with a hidden past.... A survivor of the Duel of the Gods-- the Apocalypse
that left the land desolate and undeveloped.

And he set forth in search of the precious items.... with which to
reconstruct the civilization he once knew.  

That man... was MadMax."

--------
[With apologies to George Miller for massive plagiarizing....  :(]

Athletes (Orange) Turn One, A04:

Starting: 1 city, 4215 gp, 40 inc, 25 exp.

{Max} Rocatansky surfaces in the city of Locker Room.  He was immediately
confronted by a slovenly Scout, offering a deal:

"Ay, mate.  A man like you could use an 'and, eh?  Maybe a little
"assistance"?  'ah could be of 'elp, you see.   I've got this banner..."  And
with that, the Scout revealed the Orange Standard, once used by the Hero of
the Athletic Tribe of the Northern Forest.  

"Where'd you get that?" Max demanded.  

"Oh, I find things 'ere and there in my travels.  I find all the ruins.  I've
got a Map, you see...." and his eye twinkled with greed as he revealed the
Ruin Map in Jpeg form.  

"What's the deal?"  asked Max, trying to hide his intense interest.

"25gp a day.  And...." the scout said, drawing it out for reference, "I get
to walk just 6 spaces a day."  

"I've got a better deal" said Max.  "Why don't I take the banner and the map
from You..." and in one swift move he snatched the  two with his left hand
from the Scout, and unholstered and leveled his sawed-off shotgun with his
right-- "and spare your life?"  

<Gulp>  "Well that hardly seems fair..." swallowed the Scout.  

"I dun' know" continued Max, clicking back both triggers, "seems to me yer
gettin' a bargain." 

The scout flinched his left hand, and Max shot him dead, using his last
bullet.  He dropped the shotgun and hoisted the ancient banner.  "With the
power from this, I don't need that anymore anyway....."  

Using the gold from his Underworld wheelings and dealings (4215 gold pieces
to be exact), he set forth reconstructing a usable military and society by
building Archers in what was left of the Locker Room. This set him back 1000
of the precious gold pieces.

Max then ventured out into the Wasteland in search of life.  The first city
he came to was Paris.  But it was unlike the Paris he had known.  Now plagued
by greed and sloth in the form of more Scouts, he quickly dispatched the
slow, expensive units and pillaged their resources.  (175 gold).  Finding the
surrounding area of Forests tough to traverse just outside the city,
Rocatansky set about producing Unicorns so that his new society could grow
beyond the vast expanse of dense forestation.  This set him back another 1100
of his precious gold pieces.  

Max drew camp outside Paris and began to contemplate the Ruin Map.  It would
be slow going, and he longed for his car.  The "last of the V8
Interceptors.....".  Roots supercharger in a Ford Falcon hardtop.  He drifted
off to the sound of a mechanical whirring from above...

--------
Ending: 2 cities, 2290 gp, 60 inc, 0 exp.

Hero exp: +2 to 2. 

Turn Summary:
Initial Scout disbanded.
Hero takes Paris and Pillages it. (175).
Unicorns built in Paris.  (-1100)
Archers built in Locker Room. (-1000)

"The Advanture of Piglet ane Wild Boar"

Well, Wild Boar woke up one day and found that his friend, Piglet was no
were to be found!  So he went on a quest to find his friend.  He bumped
into a scout in the city and asked to see if he had seen Piglet, but the
scount just disappeared into the thin air!  Disappointed, he headed East,
and found another city.  He was just about to start snouting for truffles
but another scout came out and told him to go away.  Do you know what
happens when a pig is disturbed when he is digging for truffles?

Pigs are easily frighten when other animals get too close to them.  While
trying to find his friend Piglet, Wild Boar discovered the Jagged Ones are
lurking not too distant from his farm!  Fearing for his farm's safty, Wild
Boar asked the old wise horse what he should do...  The old wise horse
replied: "You should nicely ask the Jagged One to either raze Montreal or
leave the Montreal alone as a neutral area all togather.  Since the Jagged
Ones wakes up earlier in the day than you do, you should offer them
something in return for their efforts.  Possibilities includes hands off
policies in the Moscow area and your promise of not including Montreal in
the farm if it remains neutral.  If the Jagged Ones are nice to you, you
may even want to offer them to include Montreal in their farm on the 20th
day!  This will benifit both races since neither had to worry about the
other struggling for this important strategic location..."

Turn Two, Orange:

Starting Conditions: Cities 2, 2350 gp, 60 inc, 0 exp.

:=>  Max (Rocatansky) awoke in his camp to the loud whirring overhead.  It
was the Gyro Captain, returning from TomorromorrowLand.  He landed just
inside the Paris walls.

"Pahtners" from before the Wars, the Gyro Captain signed on for the Campaign,
and took a gander at the Ruin Map.  However, his traveling companion-- a
Dragon-- requested 1023 gold upfront before risking life and limb to rebuild
a society that he himself never belonged to.  "Mercenaries", Max scoffed, but
coughed up the money just the same, knowing the importance of certain
abilities.  Besides, as the Dragon helped keep the Gyro Captain "in flight",
it seemed they came as a set, and Max needed all the help he could get at
this point.  

The three of them broke camp.  Max continued on the road along the water,
eventually reaching the remains of London.  It, too, was infested with Scouts
and Max saw no reason to spare them, either.  He found another 175 gold in
their vaults, and he added it to the treasury, softening the blow of the
Dragon's one-time expense.  

The Gyro Captain, aflight, found easy passage to the Lair of Luther.  Here he
convinced a dwelling Devil to join the Campaign.   The Devil immediately set
off for the remains of Olympia, where he devoured the local Scouts for lunch.
 The pillaged 175 gold was added to the Athletic Treasury.  

Thus concluded the days' movement events.  

Production of Lt. cavalry was begun in London, for the tooling cost of 200
gp.  Max knew he'd have to keep things cheap, as his new "allies" were
notorious for spending their leader's money on outrageous builds. 

Giants, being one of the few creatures respected by Devils, were begun in
Olympia.  This cost 1100 gp.  Max about choked.  If it wasn't for the fact
that the Devil was something that could take him (and he Knew it!), he'd have
off'ed him on the spot!  

--fin--

Summary:  
Hero arrives in Paris with Dragon for 1023 gold.  (40th revert.....Only time
I got a dragon.)
Gyro Capt. searches ruin.  Finds Devil.  Exp +3 to 3.
Max pillages London for 175 gold.  Builds Lt. cavs. (-200)  Hero exp. +2 to
4.
Devil pillages Olympia for 175 gold.  Builds Giants.  (-1100).  

Final Stats: 4 cities, 377gp, 100 inc., 0 exp

A message from Piglet (Green) dated Sunday October 19, 1997 at 02:06 AM EDT;



When Piglet was very young, Mother Sow said to him: "This is going to be
your farm someday, learn all you can from the various animals but remember,
you are a pig, and it is your responsibility to safe-guard the farm..."

So Piglet went out and learned all he can from the farm animals.  Until one
day, he met Wild Boar...  Wild Boar was not from the farm, and his interest
is to roam the forest searching for truffles, but for some reason, he
became Piglet's best friend.

It was the second day of the calender and Wild Boar finally heard that
Piglet has arrived at the Farm with a Archon Pig.  He also heard that
Piglet gave the Archon Pig 1087 err of corn!  So he thought to himself, "I
must find a friend of my own to help me explore the World!"  He began
searching everywhere...  In one of his truffle hunting excursion in the
middle of a swamp, he discovered a large red truffle.  He thought to
himself, I have never seen a red truffle before, wonder what it taste
like...  But before he can bite into the truffle, it turn into a
pitch-fork-wielding red pig and said to Wild Boar "I am the Devil pig and I
am here to help you explore the world!"  And he proceeded to disband the
scout in the Horse Stable.

So Wild Boar continued on his advanture...  Meanwhile, Piglet found a old
abandoned barn and kicked out the scout that squaded there and reclaimed it
as part of the Farm.  There were dust and spider web everyone but Pigs and
Spiders are good friends so Piglet allowed the spiders to continue breeding
there...  One one the dogs chased another scout out of the hiding in the
Bird Nest.

Wild Boar, remembering what the Old Wise Horse said to him and wonders what
the Jagged Ones will do...

Good day all,

I will first start by piglet. I know what you are trying to do and let me tell
you right now, it is not going to work. There is still time to change your
strategy. Jagged did not answer you yet. Plus take a look at his positionning.
I wonder where is going to go next...

Jagged, Piglet proposed a treaty to you and you have yet to answer. Should we
detect hesitation or determination in this? You seem to position your armies
to go south. I can help you by relieving some back pressure, if you catch my drift.

It appears clear to me that I can help either Piglet or Jagged in this. The
question is with which of you will I deal. The ball is in you court gentleman.

Have a nice turn!

Dear Arun,

You will have to retake your turn. The cities in the center are occupied by
griffens which aren't defeated by a demon alone. You will have to get a
rules violation for this, although I know it was an honest mistake.

To everyone, I would suggest a WarBot report for the griffen-controlled
neutral cities since it will *usually* result in losses. I'm not sure if a
lone hero can take one of the cities. I haven't checked it out.

Arun, regarding your server's tendency to send multiple copies, I would
appreciate us getting a handle on this as soon as possible. Could it be a
setting in Eudora? Are you even using Eudora? Anyone know what causes this
sort of thing?

Well, this is TOO WEIRD!  

*I* received my Turn Report back from the Remailer, and on THURSDAY when I
first sent the gamefile!  I thought somone (Mike?) said you'd gotten THAT,
but just still hadn't seen the gamefile....  ?

This is getting really screwy......  

Here it is again, copied from the previous message:

-->Date:  Thu, Oct 23, 1997 12:21 PM EST
From:  MTMGsMax
Subj:  A04, diablo, message
To:      warlords@pixgen.com

Orange Athletes, Turn 3:

SG: 4 cities, 477 gp, 100 inc, 23 exp.

At the dawning of a new day, Max saw by the ruin map that he could likely
find the remains of Bob Heeter's Bar.  Unlike other ruins which were old
relics from past civilizations, this tattered structure was actually a
recently failed business.  It had gone under from lack of patronage when it
was discovered that the Bar's owner was a tea-totaler who would scoff as
customers would ask for another round....  

Max found the structure and ventured forth.  He banged his knee on old table
inside, but survived.  In the corner, in an old "lost and found" he
discovered the Pole of Bubka.  Combined with his Orange Standard (and other
"heroic powers) this gave him the ability to Fly.  

As Max left the bar, he practiced flight by wafting over the hills.  He could
see off into the distance, and thought he saw an Archon of a white-clad
tribe, possibly a day away.  With other more pressing duties closer to home,
Max didn't bother to venture further in that direction.  But he realized he
was not alone in the Wasteland.....

Joining a lt cavalry from London, Max floated his way over the trees to find
the secluded stronghold, wherein supposedly there lies some gold.  Tired from
a full day's running around, he realized he'd have to finish his search the
next day.  

Elsewhere, the Gyro captain made quick work of finding more Relics.  The
trick was to sneak into the Moderator's home while he was resetting the game,
and steal the Hercules Spear from his office.  This would give +2 Battle
bonus, were it ever needed. 

The Devil found his way to Rome, and had lunch-- Scouts, with a side of river
water.  Deciding he'd need more security, the Devil made Spiders, but it cost
the usable portion of Max's purse, all of 700 gp.  

A unicorn from Paris moved swiftly through the woods to take Amsterdam.  It
was pillaged of scouts to generate some income, and provide a
resting/refueling area for Gyro for the night.  Unfortunately, word from Max
was that the Devil was on a binge and there was no money for production at
this time.


Thus ended the reported moves of the Athletes of the Northern Tribe.

Summary:
Heroes:  Gyro finds +2 battle item.  (+3 exp=6), Rocatansky finds Flight Item
(+3 exp=7)

Unicorn takes Amsterdam, pillages 175.  No build.

Devil takes Rome, pillages 175, builds Spiders.  (-700)

Final stats: 6 cities, 127 gp, 140 inc, 23 exp.

The Farm animals met at the end of the day to discuss various events of the
day.  A great debate went on as to what to do about the Jagged One's taking
of Montreal...  At the end the Old Wise Horse said: "The Jagged Ones wakes
up earlier in the day than we do and as the saying go, 'the early bird gets
the worm...'  Since they promised not to go south from there, we will
observe them and take no action at this point...  Judging from their Hv.
Inf. build, it looks like  they do not plan to attack us.  As long as they
do not keep or vector fast-moving units there, the farm should be safe."

Then he went on and addressed the issues in the East:  "The Wall may have
mis-understood our intention in the East.  Tell them that we are only on
our way to get blessing from the Gods and not to be alarmed.  The vectoring
is design to speed up this process.  Farm animals are quite peaceful if you
leave them alone.  We only wish to guard the farm until we go into our next
existance...  It is also the policy of the Farm that unless we are at war,
we take only neutral cities, we will not occupy cities flying the banner of
other inhabitants..."

Lastly, he look to the future and said: "Send a message to all inhabitants
and let them know although farm animals like to receive blessings from the
Gods, we do not plan to spend a night at the temple.  We kindly ask all
others to consider this policy to avoid mis-understandings..."

Greetings fellow Warlords,

Turn 3 has been full of activities indeed. I would like to address each of you
in turn as I have a few things to discuss.

First, Jagged the White. I do congratulate you on hidding your true desire
behind your outright affirmation that you will not meddle into southern
affairs. I really enjoy looking at your forces movement while keeping that
promise in mind.

To Mad Max the Orange, my current intentions towards your kingdom are
peacefull. I know this may be hard to believe after this turn but consider the
following points.  First, I could have taken MtEverest, defend it with my two
giant worms and wolfriders, vector tons of armies there and generally wreck
havoc upon your kingdom from the inside. I chose to take Dublin instead.
Second, I retooled Seoul (our border city) with heavy infantries which could
not move even if their lives depanded on it. They will not present a threat to
your kingdom. The Dublin-Seoul line will be a blessing line. These cities will
act as rest points for my armies on their way to get blessings from the Gods. 
I will not attack your cities or armies unless provoqued.

To Piglet the Green, if you order your hero near Goransson ruin, I will
consider it as an act of war. I left Grenoble and Rio without production to
show you my goodwill toward your farm.  The vectoring is purely for defensive
purposes and the spider will not get there very fast.

I live in peace and I like it.  If you do have a querrel with someone, let me
know, I may be able to help in some way for the price of a few cities.

Have a nice turn.

Dear Players,

Arun gets a minor rules violation for an incorrect turn report. His
subsequent "corrrection" was also incorrect in that he mistakenly used a
Griffen in his attack stack. In reality he used a Demon-Spider stack to
take Moscow. It checks out because he did have a Spider within striking
distance of this city. The WarBot report should have looked like this:

Turn 4, Athletes (Orange):

"Sir!  We've received a message from another Tribe."  

"The White Guys?"  

"No, sir.  *Blue* guys."  

"Blue Guys?  Where are they?"  

"I don't know, sir.  Someplace south, I think."  

"What do they want?" 

"Peace."  

"Sounds good.  Have we scouted them yet?"  

"No sir.  We think they probably spotted Gyro Captain flying around, so sent
a message of friendship."  

"Well, fine.  We'll see how the day goes and if we run into any of them.  Any
news on the White Guys?"

"Uhm... yes, sir.  They pillaged London with that Archon we'd seen."

"THEY WHAT!?!"  

"Yes sir.  But they didn't occupy it.  The Archon is on the road."  

"KILL HIM.  KILL HIM NOW!!!  

"But sir, the terrain is difficult.  You'd have to go yourself."   

Rocatansky stopped and pondered, as meeting a Cancel-Hero Ally always
tightened his gut.  ["What is he doing taking cities when I'm down here..?"
he thought to himself.]

"Uh.... how much gold did he get?"  

"Uh, it wasn't completely clear.  We expect he looted 10 gold from the
people, but he pillaged the lt. cavalry production for another 100."

"110?  Not very much..." he trailed off, looking into his meager purse.  

"Alright.  I'll keep searching 'til I find this gold here, then I'll come
kill him.  Tell the Unicorn to scout the Giant through the woods, and I'll
meet him on the road outside London."

And with That, Max's conference with his messenger ended and the days event
Begun......

DIPLOMACY
"Take a message to our Blue neighbors," ordered Max.

"To the Southern Blue Tribe, 
As We have not met in person, you likely are beyond our reaches and past our
"circle", and thus we, too, have no quarrel with you, and so we agree to a
Peace as well."  

"Got that?  Good.  And while you're there, ask him what he knows about these
White Guys in the West who attack with no provocation, steal piddly amounts
of money, and never make any explanation for their doings.  Also, see if he
knows of anyone ELSE roaming about.  And get going!"

____________________

Now for "REAL" Diplomacy. (No Roleplaying.)

I was going to try to do much of the game in character, actually.  And wasn't
going to make contact with any of you until you were within a turn of
movement.  (Thus, I could "attack" you that turn If I wished, sort of
thing.....)  

Thus, Arun's Archon fell into that category last turn.....   

However, as the expansion is so rapid, and diplomacy is flying about already,
I guess I better speak up, lest you all think me unfriendly as a Person.
 (Which isn't true...  :-)  )

1) Denis.  No problem.  I take this opportunity to apologize for the
"strong-side" look I'm giving you, what with all the allies, but that's just
my "ally" side of the ruins, and how things worked out.  I fear your Worms
somewhat, but with Dragons nearby I'm sure you feel the same.  AS white has
chosen to "piss me off", I think we'll find a "peaceful border" between us to
be a welcome thing.

2) Mike.  We'll talk later.  "White matters" in particular, but I'm
interested in eventually trying a "kitty-corner" alliance, as there is no
turf conflict.  But not right now, as the game is very early and I'm off to a
worse start than I hoped.....

3) ARUN!  Tsk-tsk.  What're you trying to do to me, man?  :)  There's a
*reason* I don't build anything worthwhile in that city-- for possibilites
such as this!!!  I told you last turn I saw your Archon.  Now the guys
dead.....  :( 

AS for your response-- You know what?  You could.  You *could* kill my hero
as a response.  But then, I'd kill yours.  Net result?  You are missing a
Hero, a Dragon (he would die killing MY hero), and of course, your ARchon.
 I'd be missing just my Hero and a bunch of "dead animals."  

As it is still VERY early in the game, I advise against a "hero swap".  You
lose irreplaceable allies, and I bet Mike would just eat you alive.  (Rem:
 your ghosts are soon a match for nothing.)

You're off to a decent start, you've got cities in the middle-- why don't you
try and build something first, rather than lose far to many armies to ME, who
is currently losing anyway?  ("Boy what a dumb strategy THIS is proving to
be....") 

That's it from the "Real Max".  :*)

It was a relativly uneventful day at the Farm...  The only significant
event was  Devil Pig and horsie's field trip to Atlanta.  When they entered
the city, a griffin suddently appeared and ate horsie!  Devil Pig did not
take this kindly and killed the griffin with his pitch fork.

Both Piglet and Wild Boar was busy!  Piglet found the most sought after
breed of pigs of all, a DRAGON Pig!  He also discoverd a long buried
artifact: the Olympic Fire that will encourage other farm animals to listen
to him.  Meanwhile, Wildboar found the Jump of Lewis which will enabel him
to fly!  What a sight:  Flying Pigs!  With this new found toy, he flew to a
nearby ruin and found a huge golden truffle.  Since he is an experienced
truffle-hunter, he knew the truffle must be worth a lot, so he sold it in
the farmer's market for 2495 GP.

The Farm animals are sad to learn a war have broken out in our land...  A
fence was put up to protect the Farm and a lot of animals embarked to the
temple to receive blessing from the Gods.  Hopefully, these actions will
keep them safe from the salvages of the war.

[  Guys, since my side is the "reporters" I am thinking about writing a
short objective summary discussing various tatical issues specific to this
game after everyone have taken 5 turns (or should I wait til the end of the
game?)  I will comment on people's strategy based on my observation
(including mine to the degress that I can share.)  Let me know what you
guys think and George, let me know if the is OK.  ]

Greetings mighty Warlords,

again, talk seems to prevail so far in this game. I do not hate it I should
point out.

To Jagged the White: I stand by what I have said previously. I will not attack
you unless you provoke me. Provocation can have many faces. My intentions are
so far peaceful towards your kingdom. Especially now that some action will
probably happen up north, I will enjoy waiting and watching you to fight it out.

To MadMax the Orange: Seoul is open to your attack if you so wishes. I remind
you that I can retaliate very quickly and with strong force. That kitty-corner
thing may not happen in the north-west portion of this map. Not a threat but
more a test of our peace treaty. Hold your end and I will hold mine.

To Piglet the Green: My citizens of Dublin and Lake Placid have come to me
with concerns that are very legitimate. They fear that your northern expansion
combined with your defense stacks along our border are threatening their
peaceful existence. Please remove your defense stacks along our border in the
interest of peace. Also, you stated earlier your intention of paying tribute
to the gods in the central temple but also stated your lack of desire of
staying overnight. I fully expect you to comply to those promises as my troops
have expressed a need for some praying time.

Have a nice turn.

Rocatansky awoke in London, to discover he was still alive.  ("Whew!"  :)  )

Having lost a turn from his mission, he set forth again, taking the scenic
route.

Gyro captain continued making best usage of the Ruin Map, flying to Kay's
Crypt and releasing one of his pets-- another Dragon.  (+3 experience).

Battles:  none.  :)

Production:  none.  :(

Diplomacy:  little  :*)

1) Arun:  Thanks.  :)

2) Denis THE WALL:  No problem. :)  There seem to be an awful lot of armies
move "up and over" in our direction, as white and green aren't vectoring
towards each other, and certainly aren't moving *away* from us!  (Aagh!....)

Thus the more "friends" I keep, the better!  Hope you agree.....  :)

3) Mike:  Saved the screen with You in mind....  :/

Final conditions: same as starting. (9/224/200/64)

The following message was sent on Monday November 03, 1997 at 12:13 PM EST
by mleung@uclink.berkeley.edu (Michael P. Leung) to all players;

The farm animals completed a uneventful turn.  We have received concern
messages from both the Wall and Mad MAX about the movements and vectoring
of the farm animals.  To address these concerns, we have enclosed a map of
what the Farm consider the current border between the Farm and other
empires.  The map are drawn with great care using the idea of the border
between two kingdoms is the midway point between the nearest cities.  Thus,
the thick yellow lines represents a "nutral zone" which the farm animals
recommands neither side of violates.  Doing so without prior notice may be
interpruted as a act of war.  We welcome comments from other empires
regarding this proposal...

To further show our peaceful intend toward the wall, we will not position
any units east of the thin red line.  Please note that that line represents
at least a two to three turn journey into the Wall's Kingdom.  We would
also like to point out that there will be movement activities between Oslo
and Atlanta since that is our main route to the temple.  We would also like
to reassures the Wall and MadMAX that it should not cause any conerns:
once the animals received the blessings, they will return to other cities
of the farm.  However, since Atlanta is the front city to all kingdom, we
will have a significant presence in that city.

We have kept our promise of not occupying the temple overnight and we have
taken down the most of the towers that are nearest to the Wall as a
courtesy.  However, we would like the option of building towers within our
kingdom which we think is not too much to ask?

As to the unit movements of the Wall, we assume that the hero stack near
the Goransson ruin will not advance any further West...  We are aware that
the units in that stack can easily take two of our lightly defended citis
in the upcoming cycle but we trust the Wall will not initiate an unprovoked
conflict...

We would like to point out to MadMAX that we have no borders with your
kingdom so your concern maybe somewhat unfounded.  We will negotiage a
border if the city situation changes.

The following message was sent on Tuesday November 04, 1997 at 05:05 PM EST
by Denis Lacasse <dlacasse@crim.ca> to all players;

"Sir, you cannot be a spectator about this, you have to stop this. Piglet the
Green will be too powerful and will overtake both our cities!"

"Yes sir, Lake Placid and Dublin will never be safe, it is time to make a
preemptive strike against the green forces. It will knock him off balance and,
by the time he will regroup, we will have taken precious resources away from him."

"But, gentlemen, I am not sure our Kingdom can afford to be stretched so far.
I concede that we have a tentative peace treaty with both White and Orange as
they are busy with each other but I cannot discount the possibility that they
may turn against us."

"Yes sir, but Green has only comply partially with our demands. The safety
with our two northern cities is still not guaranteed. When the vectored forces
will arrive up north, they may invade our territory with relative ease."

"I have to agree with you on that point."

"Plus sir, if I may, I do not think that Green will be content with 11 cities.
They will look to expand. The way they are moving their troops, it appears
clear to me that we will be their target within the next four turns, not White
nor Orange. Then having the advantage of a more direct access to the gods'
blessings, their troops will likely have the upper hand on us."

"I have to grant you that point too."

"With all du respect sir, Green has proven to be quite the Warlord in past
campaigns. His cunning and long term planning will work against us. Our
current position and resource usage will put us at a disadvantage toward Green."

"Indeed, he fought bravely before this...  I see gentlemen that you are quite
convinced about this. And one thing I like is general that are convinced about
a strategy. Although, this decisions me prove to be the worst yet in this
campaign, I will go forward with your proposition. I then declare WAR on Green
as of this moment on. Send the green ambassador back with the news and prepare
the troops for the coming invasion.

"Also, send messengers to both White and Orange. Tell White that this decision
does not have any repercussions on our relationship. We do intend and swear
not to attack White until at least turn 12, if not later.

"Tell Orange that we wish the peace treaty to be formalized and valid until at
least turn 15, if not turn 20. We understand that White troops movement are
directly aimed at the Orange territory and will not use any opportunity that
may arise from this to our advantage for the duration of the peace treaty. We
expect the same from him. Signal to him that Seoul is not a place for long
range troops and he should do the same with his cities on our mutual border."


Although I am not sure I lead my kingdom towards victory, I know in my soul
that inaction is more often then not worst then action. This decision will
either be brilliant or plain stupid. Only time will tell. Tonight, I will
sleep soundly.

Have a nice turn.

The Wall

ps: Hey Piglet, I can't wait to see your report on strategy now! :-)

Piglet was found humming:

(Since) you didn't care what happends to me,
(Now) I won't care (what happens to) you,
We would ziz zag our way, through the boredom and pain,
Occationally glancing up torough the rain,
(Knowing) which of the buggers to blame
And watching the pigs on the wing...


Wild Boar just said:

"Lets Dance!"


A mad pig is a frightening sight indeed.  2 singing mad pigs, watch out!
Farm animals recommands that anyone or anything get out of the way of a mad
pig.  They also like the record to show that:

THIS IS AN UNPROVOKED ATTACK BY THE WALL

while peace is offered and every accomadation was made to preserve peace.
All communication with the Wall will now cease and any city flying a blue
flag will be targets for farm animals.


[Dennis, I would have been satisfied with 11 cities through out this game.
I wasn't going to attack anyone unless I was attacked.  You have chosen a
good time to do it but you know that I will now throw everything I have
against you, right?]

Orange Athletes, Turn Six

Gyro Captain awoke to terrible news, that of the death of her comrade--
Rocatansky.  

Killed whilst on the scenic route over the shore, by a vengeful White hero,
most likely enraged over the recently fallen Archon and that "London
business."  

She was relieved to hear that Max had slain the White hero in the battle, with
the help of his Unicorn and lt. cavalry, but that alas the three of them were
no match for the resolve of the Dragon, who now stood guard over the precious
relics.  

Action, Gyro captain decided, must be swift.....

Starting Conditions: 9 cities, 373 gp, 200 inc, 100 exp

1) Gyro Captain searches Panagos' Tomb, finds the Blessing of Olympus (+1
command).  +3 exp =15

2) A giant and two spiders attacks the white stack on the mountain road.

Ending: 9 cities, 53 gold, 200 inc, 86 exp.

DIPLOMACY:

1) Denis The WALL:  Well, I'll confess to having had Max write a different
message to your peace treaty, namely the impatient: "Turn 20?  When is that?"
Which got the response of "That's when they take our gold for taxes, and all
our armies desert us, Sir."  

BUT, due to recent events (<scowl>) -- boy, your Treaty sounds like a Great
Idea, doesn't it?  :-) :-)  I think Turn 15 sounds fair.  Maybe we'll even
live that long?  

You'll note, in accordance with your wishes (and, uh... ahem "necessity") I'm
removed a few of the "stronger" armies from Seoul (?--that it?)

2) Mike/aka Piglet:  Well, sorry to hear about your recent ambush.  I know how
you feel.  Honestly, as a Player, I *too* was expecting to sit back for a bit,
not piss any one off, and just see how it went.  (This is what we get from
Playtesting, eh?)  Instead, I'm flung into a fight far sooner than I expected,
and feel nothing short of heartache as I had what I considered to be an
interesting strategy going-- and it's completely out the window now!  

I know you have your hands full on the east-- and maybe you'll think I'm
suggesting this to somehow aide Denis-- but I thought I'd point out that I've
attracted ALL of White's strength and ALLIES (and heroes, and vectoring,
and...) 

... So if EVER you thought, "Geez, Montreal is nice this time of year"-- boy
would this be the time to do it!!    :*)

With two heroes, you might be able to bolster yourself enough to grow, even
while at War.  Obviously, any attack against White/distraction at this point
helps Me, and you seem to have a few easy targets on your border.  (Thus, this
helps You..  :) )

Thought I'd just mention it.... Seems "opportunistic" and I'm not sure if you
play that way or not...?

3) Arun.  Well done.  Geez Louise-- I did NOT see that coming, though have to
admit that I'd felt I was trying to dodge the bullet for the 2nd time with
that hero.  I had to bring him south, and knew I had to put him over the
water.  But certainly never thought about the item switch.    Well done....
:-/

NOW-- for the facts.  We're rather hot and heavy, and I think ultimately
you'll probably get me.  

But, you'll be dead soon thereafter.  We keep "eliminating" each other like
this, neither one of us will survive to the end.

Thought I'd state the obvious....  :-(

Max

The following message was sent on Sunday November 09, 1997 at 06:55 PM EST
by mleung@uclink.berkeley.edu (Michael P. Leung) to all players;

The Farm animals are outraged at the attack on the Farm.  They are now
pleding with Piglet and Wild Boar to destroy the Wall.  Piglet and Wild
Boar assured the other animals that that is exactly what they intended to
do.  Towers are being build, supply lines are being set up, plans are being
formed, and units are being blessed.  All Blue units and cities will be
targets from now on.  However, the farm animals are aware that the Wall
will be able to take 1-2 more cities in the upcoming cycles before we can
start reclaiming our farm land.  They have a strong penetrating force, a
strong front, and a good supply line established using the Dashorst Pit for
the their spiders...

The Farm will leave itself out of the conflict in the North since the Farm
has more immediate problems to worry about.  The only request we have is to
ask the Jagged one to move the griffin one space north in the city of
Mascow (which should have no effect on the war they have with MAX but would
make the animals in the city of Beijing feel much safer...)

[Well, here it goes, WAR!  Yes!  Much less boring that playing "sit and
wait" but I shared MAX's feeling that since we playtested, I didn't feel
"right" to make the first strike...]

I am still not sure whether or not invading Piglet the Green was the best move
for my armies. But, with the winter coming and rising army cost, I cannot
afford to have a mutiny on my hands. I need gold to feed and cloth my men.
Gold that is becoming increasingly scarce.  For now, my cities appears to be
safe for Piglet's vengeance but this will not last I fear.

I am grateful to Madmax the Orange for so far honoring our pact of
non-aggression until turn 15. Although I feel his wolfriders stationed near
our border would be useful elsewhere, I cannot ask him to move them.  I would
appreciate a confirmation of his pledge yet again; it would reassure me.

And Jagged the White appears to trust Piglet thus far. His southern border is
not very well guarded.  Piglet may choose to go north if he realizes that our
advance will be hard and costly to stop.  Up north, he can gain as many, if
not more, cities then what he will lose down south.  Indeed, I cannot
overextend my army and the bulk of his force is up there.  Food for thoughts.

Whatever, for now, I have to rest.  Harder days are coming.

Have a nice turn.

[Since I still havn't used my other "allowed" message yet, I think I will
burn one off ;-]

Piglet made a speach in the Barn gathering:

"Two days ago, we were invaided by the Wall, I am here to give you an
update on what is happening.  I will take full responsibility for not being
better prepared for this hideous act but the communication the Wall send
previously had led me to believe they had no hostile intention toward us.
Let it be on the record for future farmers that the WALL is not to be
trusted!"

[George (and Dennis,) since "previous" games record are OK to be discussed,
I presume the in future rounds I can share information on what happened in
this game, right?]

"Although we were not ready for that treacherous attack, the war with the
Wall is going well!  We have reviewed the latest map sent by other kingdoms
and we have a well laid plan in place.  Let me assure you that the Wall's
advance in the South will be contained.  Animals from all over the farm are
heading that way to save-guard our farmland.  Wild Boar himself will be
stationed there along with the Devil pig to drive them back!  Eventhough
Warhammer may join Blackshadow (what a name!  you can tell a lot about
someone by their name you know...) in the south via the ruin, we have
enough forces in place to hold them in check!"

"Furthermore, we should be able to secure some of the WALL's cities in the
upcoming cycles!  Since the citizens of Lake Placid and Dublin convinced
the Wall to attack our farm, they will pay for their crimes!  I will
personally see to it that these cities will not fly the blue banner for
long, by peace or by force."

"And the nerve of them to ask us to head North!  Unlike them, we have a
non-aggressive agreement with the Jagged Ones in the North and we fully
intended to adhere to our words.  Yes, we may be able to gain more cities
but that is not everything...  Doesn't the WALL have a peace treaty with
the JAGGED ones and now they are asking us to attack them?  If that's how
peace treaty works -- "I won't attack you but I will ask someone else
to..." -- I wonder how they will handle their "treaty" with MAX..."

"But we must remember that we are peaceful farm animals and we will offer
the WALL a way out of this unprovoked attack.  A messanger was sent with
the following offer:

1)  Immediatly vacate the cities you took from us
2)  Disband all non-ally units located in Lake Placid and Dublin at the
    beginning of their 7th day.
3)  Vacate Lake Placid and Dublin of all units so they will be included in the
    farm.

This offer is only valid for ONE DAY.  If they do not comply the beginning
of Day 8, we will help they learn the meaning of peace by including all of
the WALL's terrority in the Farm."

now know his playing style a little better ;-]

Dear Piglet,

I have heard that you addressed your people about our, euhm, situation. I
would like to clarify some points.

Trust is to be gained not expected. I mean that by one actions, you determine
if he is to be trusted. Well, don't you think I thought about this attack
before I did it? I was seeing tons of green armies moving very very rapidly
toward my kingdom.  I had to do something.

In my world, your war against me is not going that well but we'll see.

Merely a suggestion if you intend to live. I couldn't care less if you do it
or not.  And as far as I know, white hasn't confirmed yet our agreement of
non-aggression (hey Arun, thus I ain't sure if I have a formal agreement with
him.  I am sure I had none with you and I am sure I have one with Orange. I
see a difference can you see the diferrence?

I will consider a serious offer, not this one. Although, I thank you for a
hearty laugh.  Offer me something I can live with before I take my turn, and I
will consider it.

[Playing style? I have no style. I get 2 and a half for style... I just
couldn't beleive that you would just sit on 11 cities with all your troops
blessed and in the center of the map.  White was heading for Orange really
early so it would have been natural for you to head for me.  The more I
waited, the  better prepared you would have been. I couldn't afford to take
the risk of having a green blessed mob fall on my head on turn 12.  I do
enforce all treaties that I have.  Treaties are sacred.  Plus, I offered you
peace on turn 2 if I recall correctly, you did not respond.]

Max is up early, foraging for food amongst the rubble.  

{Seems he's NOT dead.  Merely, "misplaced" for the remainder of the game.....
 :/}

Well, as YOU all have chosen to venture forth into diplomacy.... So can I!
 (Besides, this is LAST turn's message!  :-)   I haven't moved yet.)

MIKE-- where is that "Turn 5 from the Reporters Front Line"?  I kind of
wanted to read that, though I'm pretty sure I was going to get panned....
 :-/

Also, I'm going to back Denis up on the treaty issue-- I never thought you
agreed to it either!  (And, Arun hasn't agreed to anyone other than a border
with Mike.)  

Mike/Denis:  Enjoy your war.  Hopefully, you'll have fought for something.  I
have so ROYALLY been taken unprepared (Violated Rule #1:  never underestimate
your opponent) that I'm virtually a dead duck already.  (Visions of "Turtle
Defense" dance in my head....).  

My problem?  No armies.  Went for the slow, strong growth-- and got stuck
with the neighbor with the battle fetish!  Thus I'm tough-- in about two
places.  

The two of YOU will emerge from your battle to find Arun has the map.  He
vectors EVERYTHING to the two cities on my border (4 a turn!).  These are
also the cities 1) by the temple, and 2) immediately north of you two.  

So, while I'd originally hoped to hold Arun off-- it is now obvious that I
can't as armies are just too scarce.  (I was NOT planning on losing that
hero.  That hurt more for position than fact.  He died where I didn't have
him covered, because I'd figured his terrain had him covered itself.  My
mistake, and excellent timing by Arun....)

So, you two might want to look ahead to the next thirteen turns and
"visualize" the game.  If I can't-- or refuse-- to "swap" armies with someone
who outnumbers me two to one, then there will be THAT many more of them left
coming after You Two when he's done with Me!

I stated this before, and I agree with Denis:  Mike, you've GOT to make a run
at White.  He only has ONE hero, and you are allowing him to hold TWO
borders.  (WHereas, you have TWO and are only holding one.)  

DENIS-- YOU"VE go to lay off Mike so that he can do it.  Because think of the
results, chum-- when I'm gone (or rather, severely weakened)-- where do you
think that leaves YOU?  Now YOU would have a two front battle (and maybe, so
would Mike, but considering ARun only has ONE hero, I'd gather than he'd FLY
down to all your empty cities.)  

[Uh... 'cuz that was what *I* was gonna do....  :*)  I spent an HOUR working
on raiding you with two Wizards, then figured it was too early in the game
and should wait for the bigger stack, when I could make it "stick." Oh
well..]

In conclusion:  Unless you guys give ME more credit than I give myself (Geez,
thanks-- Now wake Up!  :*)  )-- bear in mind that I don't have much longer in
this game.  

[Not that I really wanted Arun to know this, but I figure I get about 5 more
turns, and end up turtled in 2-3 cities.]

So, *think* how "progressed" you'll be by turn 12.  Either of you ready by
then to take on a "blessed" opponent from above?  

How about a little "delay" tactic?  

MIKE-- surely you can take MORE from Arun than Denis will take from You?  Put
everything on Defense, send one offensive stack up.  

DENIS:  Give Mike a turn or two to raid Arun.  You have all those armies
going to the middle.  That's just time for you to bless them, and position
them better.  

ME:  I'm going to do what I have to-- fight for dear life!  (laughing).  But
I *really* got caught out.  Last turn I spent much of the time mad at myself
for blowing it, besides figuring out what to try.  (Which didn't work,
btw.....  :-( )

Don't think this is some major scam to help me win-- get real.  I'm dead
either way, but I'd rather think that I was "playing" rather than "staying."
 

And, knowing such, I wanted you two to know the facts to plan correctly.
 Because you won't get 20 turns to elaborately fight each other.  You'll get
about 5, because I've only got 23 armies for him to kill!  (That's 23 in 9
cities.  I like it better as 8 in 3 cities-- thus, who gets the other 6?!?
 Do the math-- that would give him 19, with only 3/4 on a border you could
touch .  You guys would HAVE to work together then-- so why wait?)  

So-- I'll be sending the turn soon.  But Mike goes next, and it's up to him
to propose any "changes".  

REM:  ARun won't keep vectoring everything towards me.  Because soon he won't
need to.....  He already has nearly the same number of armies as me on my
border-- but only in TWo cities.  

Oh well...... When does the NEXT game start?  I want to try that strategy
again, until it WORKS!  

"Crap."

:*)

Hey all:

Well, couldn't get the AT& T account to sign on.  (Kept coming up with some
strange "netscape" error    ?)  

So-- I've swapped to 3.0, thinking that maybe AOL is pathetic enough to give
the 3.0 users better treatment than the 2.7 people?

{And, for those who wonder, I use the 2.7 as it allows me to do WarBOT, AOL,
and the game simultaneously.  Great for turn reports, etc.  3.0 "quits"
unexpectedly, the minute you try the Finder.  Annoying...}

Okay, here it is:

Turn 7, Orange Athletes:

{Gyro Captain is illiterate.}  

Beginning:  9 cities, 167 gold, 200 inc, 153 exp.

1) Gyro Captain makes Amazon.  

2) Build of Lt infants (-160) purchased in Rome.

Final: 9 cities, 7 gp, 200 inc, 153 exp.

DIPLOMACY:

Well, I took the last two hours to look at the game.....  AND, I take back a
lot of what I said in the Diplomacy message.  (The INTENT is still there--
the actuality, much less so.)  Mike is no longer in position to do much
against White, and probably shouldn't anyway.  (Seems Denis got you good, but
at least you have more armies to recover with.  :-) )  

I intentionally spent this timeout/extra day thinking.  I've tried various
moves, positions of armies, etc, and Arun hasn't fallen for any of it.  

Thus, this turn I decided not to press my luck.  Or, waste my time trying 20
different configurations of the WarBOT, hoping <here> and <with this> I'll
manage to survive.  

Too often, there were just too many things he could do instead, that I
thought of off the top of my head.  Surely then, he'd think of them and I'd
just be bailing water in a new leak.  

Thus, I punted from the offense this turn, and have started working on "the
defense."  

Depressing, but deserved.  Arun found the achilles heel of my grand
strategy-- I couldn't afford to be attacked early.  The death of my hero has
just compounded the problem.  Not from the lack of hero, as it was a trade,
but because now HE has the flight item (after all those early-turn sacrifices
and near-misses with his Archon to get the bugger.)  

Well-- that'll teach Me!  :-/

Max

The following message was sent on Friday November 14, 1997 at 06:00 AM EST
by mleung@uclink.berkeley.edu (Michael P. Leung) to all players;

Preperation for War is underway!  Farm animals seeks blessings from the
Gods and is building a tower to get ready to take down the city of Dublin!
We hope to occupy this city within two turns.

The war in the South is also going well.  We should be able to reclaim one
of the cities within two turns.

**********
Piglet will respond to the comments made by the Wall:

>Trust is to be gained not expected. I mean that by one actions, you determine
>if he is to be trusted. Well, don't you think I thought about this attack
>before I did it? I was seeing tons of green armies moving very very rapidly
>toward my kingdom.  I had to do something.

And by what action I did that caused you not to trust me?  I made every
effort to show you my forces were not hostile and they were not moving
toward your kingdom, they were moving toward the temple.  I even move them
in such a way that none of my units except for the Elemental pigs, who were
blessed with extream speed by the Gods, can reach your cities within 2
turns!  Furthermore, my units are well within my terrority.  If you feel
that your neighbor's forces must stay 3 or more turns from your cities, you
are kidding yourself!


>In my world, your war against me is not going that well but we'll see.

In our opinion, it's going quite well given the situation.  Please review
the map provided and give me another assessment.


>Merely a suggestion if you intend to live. I couldn't care less if you do it
>or not.

I do intend to live.  The farm may not end up owning the most land in the
end but I will make sure we own more land than you do.


> And as far as I know, white hasn't confirmed yet our agreement of
>non-aggression (hey Arun, thus I ain't sure if I have a formal agreement with

Did you not offered white a non-aggressive aggreement til turn 12?

-----
"Also, send messengers to both White and Orange. Tell White that this decision
does not have any repercussions on our relationship. We do intend and swear
not to attack White until at least turn 12, if not later."
-----

What what that "relationship" you were referring to in your message?  What
does it mean by not attack them til turn 12?  How is that different than
the aggreement you have with Orange of not attacking them 'til turn 15?

As for the "non-reply" from White, I recall reading this message:

-----
"The Wall:

 I will indeed swear by my oath of non-interference, with, of course, the
same attitude from you."
-----

If you don't call this a treaty, let me know what you call it, and how is
it different form that you have with Orange?  What is the meaning of
"swear"?  Please note the point I was making in my speech:

-- "I won't attack you but I will ask someone else to..." --

Do you feel it's OK for you to ask me to attack Orange if it suits your needs?


>I will consider a serious offer, not this one. Although, I thank you for a
>hearty laugh.  Offer me something I can live with before I take my turn, and I
>will consider it.

Well, that was my last and final offer.  If you feel like laughing at it,
please do.  We will see who is laughing at the end...

[I actually think the offer is in-character since the farm animals wants to
get back at the people who started the war.  If you only said the citizen
of Dublin ask you to attack, I would have only ask you to disband the units
in Dublin and give me that city ;-]


signed,

a rather disturbed Piglet, who ate all 4 truffles he hunted today.


>[....
>Treaties are sacred.  Plus, I offered you
>peace on turn 2 if I recall correctly, you did not respond.]

[Well Denis, I stated very early on in the game that all I wanted to do is
to move to the next round.  Please review the following response to your
offer:

-----
Then he went on and addressed the issues in the East:  "The Wall may have
mis-understood our intention in the East.  Tell them that we are only on
our way to get blessing from the Gods and not to be alarmed.  The vectoring
is design to speed up this process.  Farm animals are quite peaceful if you
leave them alone.  We only wish to guard the farm until we go into our next
existance...  It is also the policy of the Farm that unless we are at war,
we take only neutral cities, we will not occupy cities flying the banner of
other inhabitants..."
-----

I guess I need to be a little more clear in my response in the future.  ;-)
Anyway, on with the war and may the best warlord win!  Hope Piglet's
response did not irritate you too much, you know, pigs are very stubborn
animals...  ;-]

**********

[MAX,

Good move!  I wrote my assessment before I looked at the game file.]


**********

To the Jagged One,

Since we are both at war with our Eastern foe, the farm animals formally
propose a non-aggressive treaty with your empire until the 15th cycle or
later.  Since our respective enemy have agreed upon such a treaty, we feel
that our efforts are best spent directed toward our enemy.  Please let us
know how you feel about this aggreement.

Sincerely, Piglet

[Normally, I am a extreamly aggressive player.  (you can get a sense of my
style of play in the "Advance Tatical Ideas" I wrote on playing against
other human players on Bob's home page.  You can also review the head to
head game history I am playing with Jim on the remailer.)  I wanted to try
to lay back and play defense this game but well, sometimes things just does
not work out the way you plan.  I do have to complement Denis for attacking
at the right moment and hopefully, I won't be as depressed as Max ;-]

The following message was sent on Friday November 14, 1997 at 11:46 AM EST
by Denis Lacasse <dlacasse@crim.ca> to all players;

To White, we have a agreement of non attack until turn 12 and I intend to
respect that.

To Orange, cheer up! Things ain't that bad. I will not attack you until turn
15 as promised (and even perhaps later then that, if you are still with us
that is).

To Green,

well, both your message and MadMax's message made me think a lot.  I realize
why you guys would have just waited and I am ready to believe that indeed you
would have be content with your starting cities for a while.  I should have
stayed put for a while longer. I am a big enough man to admit a mistake, are
you a big enough man to control your lust your vengeance?  We'll see.

Although, I still have to treat you as hostile, I see a real mutual value in a
truce.  I had to move my armies the way I did just in case you decide to
remain at war.  That is also why I had to defeat your dragon.  My position
would have been too weak otherwise.  Mind you that a lost a valuable Giant
Worm in this battle.  So, in a word, I had to attack you in case we remain at
war.  I did not have a choice.

Here is what I propose.

On turn 7 (already done), I vacate one of the conquered cities and vector away
the production in progress.

On turn 8, from you, you do NOT take Dublin.  You take the vacated city.
>From me, I vacate the other conquered city.

On turn 9, from you, you take the vacated city.  You gain a spider production
instead of a light infantry (if I remember correctly).

We agree to not attack each other until turn 15.

Is this acceptable?

The longer we are at war, the easier it will be for White in the last few turn
of this contest.  In the end, you may even end up with more cities then I, but
what is 6 cities against 4 cities remaining... I'd rather we both kept 11 cities.

I know my peaceful intention will be hard to swallow but hey, I mean it.

I would like to address a few issues:

Max:
	I am the one who proposed peace, and Blue agreed to it. It is in
his hands to break it, for I do not break promises. I expect that if he
wants to break it right now, in his mind he is willing to fight me and
justify it by his claim that I never formally accepted a peace offer. Of
course, it is also equally amusing that you "back" him in this idea of me
not agreeing to any treaty. The past archives are there. Check them out.
These are very low hits from a cat in a corner. When I die, I will not
break promises or allow such....I will fight till the end. Of course, few
have such will and courage, even if this is "just" a game.

Blue:
	The fact remains that I proposed a treaty with you, and you agreed
based on an assumption that I do not provoke you. You have not stated your
provocation, and now you have stated that we have not agreed upon a treaty.
These actions of yours are not clever; they are slippery. So now I wish to
determine exactly whether we have a treaty or not. I do not need weak
affirmations..I want a yes or a no. I want to remind you I am aware that
you can say "yes" and then go back on your word and attack me. Please
realize that I have a very special hatred for cowards, and it goes way
beyond disputes of the East-West nature. So far you have agreed to Turn 12.

Green:
	The peace agreement is now agreed upon til the 15th cycle. I will
now explain my intentions on taking the "strategic city." You must
understand I am an aggessive player to all those who have not agreed with
peace. Being so, I did not want to worry about attacks from the south early
on. In truth, I depended on a very trustworthy player such as yourself to
play Green. Anyway, I would have found your style for this game sooner or
later by the 3-4 turn, if you were go
