Hello everyone!

Now that the official tournament round starter said, let the games begin!

This message contains information on how this round is differetn from the
practice round. Read it, it is important! Following this message you will
receive a noarchive message containing the archive with the gamefile and
revised scenario in it. This is the starting gamefile, so Joe Dude the
Great should use this file to start his turn. And then we'll be off!

So, without further ado, here is the important information...


Round A Rules Reminders!
Last Updated 30-September-97 by Bob Heeter

Read this message carefully - it contains a lot of essential information!

*** Critical Scenario and Rules Changes from the Practice Round ***

* Starting Gold:  4200/side

* Razing:  On Capture only

* Round A games will last for 20 turns!

* New Gold Rules:
   The gold limit for Strongholds is now 2500.
   All the gold is now in strongholds; revert until you get less than 2500.
   We recommend reverting to get between 2400 and 2500.  (The odds of
   getting between 2400 and 2500 are about 10%, so this takes less reverting
   than trying to get near 3600!)

* Special Builds:
   The center cities all build griffins!  Sack 'em for cash - or build 'em!
   Note - griffins defending neutral cities are strength 8 (6+2).
   The neutral cities are set to "active" in the tournament.

* New Rule:  Two Heroes!
   You are allowed (and expected!) to revert and get a second hero on Turn 2.
   *** If you want a second hero, it MUST come ONLY on Turn 2. ***
   The second hero can come with *any* ally you choose in *any* city you
control.
   You may not replace any dead heroes until *both* heroes are dead.
   Then the regular hero-replacement rules apply.  (Note that once you lose
   a hero you cannot have more than one hero on the map.)  Ask your Moderator
   or Headquarters for details.  The starting gold has been increased to
   allow the purchase of the second hero.  You must report the cost of the
   second hero and he/she must cost at least 1000 gold.

* New Rule:  Limited Allies with Replacement Heroes:
   After Turn 2, all replacement heroes may only come with wizards, ghosts,
   elementals, or worms.  Archons, Demons, Dragons, and Devils are not allowed
   with replacement heroes - you can only get them from ruins or with your
   Turn 2 second hero.  Warlord, use thy allies wisely! :)

* Holidays:
   The U.S. Thanksgiving Weekend in late November and the
   midwinter holidays (from December 20 to January 7) will be official
   "Tournament Holidays".  Time limits will not be enforced during those
   periods, and players do not need to worry about using up vacation time
   then, although we hope the games will all continue!  We expect
   some games to finish before Christmas, and the rest in January and February.
   Round B will begin in mid-January after the winter holidays end!
   More timeouts will be supplied to all Round A players when Round B begins.


*** Prizes for Round A ***

   The four Warlords who write the most entertaining game history will
   each receive a prize from SSG.

   The one Warlord who writes the best individual roleplay will also
   receive a prize from SSG.

   The awarding of both prizes will be determined after the round ends
   by a team of moderators (who will exclude themselves from recieving prizes).

[oops, forgot the diplomatic message! I use my right to one extra
diplomatic message per turn, for turn 3 and send this]


Samaranch III to the Reporters:


Respected men of the media!


We offer you peaceful cohabitation on mutualy favourable conditions -- an
offer you can't refuse, as they said back in the gasoline era...


We suggest a non-aggression pact for the number of turns you would like to
suggest -- we ourselves would say for at least five turns, but are
unfamiliar to your needs.

We suggest a borderline for both parties to respect, where  the Organisers
Realm and border towards Reporterland is marked by the cities of Montreal
and Moscow an the line between them,

while the Reporters Realm towards Organiserland is marked by the cities of
Barcelaona and Beijing and from Beijing to Atlanta an the lines between
them.


Any land there inbetween is nomansland to be avoided by both parties.


The advantage of this is that we each get an entry to the Temple and avoid
binding troops in an immature conflict.



We eagerly await your response!




Yours faithfully,



Samaranch III

Diplomatic message:


Dear Reporters!


We recieved no answers to our invitation to develop a friendly
neighbour-relation. On the other hand, you act as if we had an alliance.
You left your hero alone in the forest where I easily could have killed him
with me devil (go check in the WarBot if you do not believe me...)

This time I let you live -- but we must have answer to our letter before
the sun rises over the Organisers next time. Let me repeat the questions:

-- Do you accept a limited peace between our lands, along the suggested bord=
er?

-- For how many terms should we let the peace last, in your opinion? I
suggest we should have peace until and including turn 12...



The Highest Administrator

(This is my one and only diplomatic message available to me until my next turn)

Great Warlords throughout the land:

The Spectators (Side 4) have watched events unfolding in this land. We have
kept quiet until now. But now we feel we know which direction we want to
take and we feel the need to communicate.

To Side 1: Great warlord, your great accomplishments are stunning to watch.
We have nothing but respect and admiration for you. It seems likely that we
will be at close quarters in the near future when we both occupy cities in
the center. We want to say only that we want to be good neighbors and maybe
even close friends. Let us talk some more in the near future.

To Side 3: You must know that we had plans to occupy the neutral city of
Oslo (see our Devil). We had not taken into account the incredibly fast
speed of your Elemental, but if you beat us to this city we will respect
that and we will not move against this city. Hear us now that we do not
want war with your people. We will not make attempts to attack any of the
cities within your territory (including Innsbruck and Nagano which are
yours by right). Furthermore, we acknowledge that your Elemental would be
able to take our city of Rio (although we would be able to take the city
right back). Our Devil on the other hand is in a position to make trouble
for you. But this is not in our master plan. We pledge our cooperation with
you, at least in the short term. If you do not move against us, we will not
move against you let us say a *minimum* of three moves. I am completely
open to further talks for neutrality or active alliance.

To Sides 1 &3: Observe we have made "nice talk" to both of you. You may
think I am up to some treachery, but I assure you that we are in a position
to do very well AND stay on good terms with both of you. To do well in this
tournament does not mean you have to win outright, but merely do well with
your side. That is what we will try to do.


-The Spectators

Diplomacy ...

TO WHITE: Organizers, we are soon to be neighbors. Let us be friends. I
propose we agree NOT to block each other's access to the temple AND respect
one another's property. Furthermore we agree not to occupy Munich next turn
should you agree. Otherwise, an adversarial relationship will mean we will
be at each other's throats losing some of our strongest allies in the
fighting, and thus making us both easier prey for others. So what do you
want to do?

TO GREEN: No word back from you regarding our offer of neutrality. We fear
the worst. With few opportunities for expansion, and a truce with White,
your only hope is expand in our direction. But I think you will find  NO
easy targets within our borders. We will, however, give you the benefit of
the doubt ... for now.

Diplomacy:
----------

/The administration regrets that our spokesman was forced to spend the
night in the temple - it was due to an emergency (he spoke all afternoon
and fell asleep afterwards) and will not be repeated! /

Together with a large delegation of wannabe-honest administrators, Ol'
Nick, the spokesman of Lord Samaranch himself has arrived to the temple.

He climbs the roof and shouts for the world to here:

" Here ye! Here ye! Here ye!

The Lord Administrator,  the Management Genius, the Mastermind of
Hierarchic Games,

			*****lord Samaranch III*****

wishes to convey a message to the world - listen and get wise!


Ladies and gentlemen,
heroes and cowards,

our world is rapidly changing. In this turmoil we have achieved to produce
a nucleus of stability and a guardian against to fast changes: an effective
bureucracy! After having achieved a neccessary reorganisation of the
western lands, we would now like to present some of our achievements and
try to organize the turbulent environments outside our realm!

It will remain our strategy throughout this existence that no party ever
will have to fear to be extinguished by our forces. This goes for all
parties of the world.

=46urther, we will support a policy of equal oppurtunities (see memo X492-R0=
0
for details on the development of the concept) and open gates to the temple.

=46rom these High Principles we have deducted some discrepancies in the
present relations between parties of the world:

-- THE ATHLETES has returned to their quarters to work out and return when
in better shape. We have been their advicers in organising the retreat and
made some recommendations.

Because of shortage in experienced trainers, Athletes should concentrate on
a lesser number of well equipped training centers - we have suggested the
Locker Room, Amsterdam and Paris).

=46urther, we have agreed to take over the management of Olympia for as long
as the training period lasts. We have taken upon us to be the custodians of
the Athletes interests.

*We will not take over the administration of any more training camp*

*We will regard any one who tries to take over Amsterdam, Locker Room and
Paris as enemies*

*We encourage the Spectators to use Mt Everest and Sparta as sporting
resorts; you could well need the excercise (and besides all rooms are
equipped with color-TV and 99 channels..)*


-- We sharply condemn THE SPECTATOR overtake of Atlanta which is the only
way the Reporters can reach the temple. We demand that Spectators move out
of Atlanta and hands over the keys of the city to the Reporters!

We will accept that the Spectators make an effort to help out the Athletes
with Mt Everest and Sparta, but we cannot accept this outrageous neglect of
the Reporters religious needs! In agreement with the policy of Equal
Oppurtunities (memo X492-R00), all parties should have access to the temple
and a high quality resort close to the temple.

*If you give up Atlanta, we will support your right to Mt Everest and
Sparta, respect your right to all up to date occupied cities and offer you
a peace treaty lasting to and including turn 12.*

If you do not give up Atlanta, we will have to reconsider your competence
as entrepreneur in Mt Everest and Sparta as well...

-- We hail THE REPORTERS, who has behaved like gentlemen, respecting the
turn-old treaties between us. We encourage you to stand up for your right
to Atlanta and access to the temple and promise that we will not use any
concentration of troops to save what is yours for a sneak attack for as
long as our treaty is valid.

If Spectators insists on keeping what is not theirs (god forbid!) we would
be willying to consider a more far reaching cooperation! "

The following message was sent on Thursday November 13, 1997 at 04:03 PM EST
by George Hulseman <geez@opendoor.com> to all players;

(This is our only diplomatic message allowed until our next turn)

A message to all the warlords throughout the land ...

We shall respond to White's recent diplomacy. First of all, we completely
denounce White's blockade of the temple. It is an outright act of war.

We agree that all nations should have access to the temple. We agree to
relinquish Atlanta to Green under the following conditions:

1) THE ORGANIZERS (White)  likewise relinquish Moscow to Green.
2) White agrees to NOT to occupy Tokyo with his Orcish Mob
3) White accepts that Rome must be razed

White's diplomacy is a poorly veiled attempt to keep Green and Blue at war
so he can continue to reap the benefits of the Orange nation's fall. Let's
look at some of White's recent statements:

>*We will regard any one who tries to take over Amsterdam, Locker Room and
>Paris as enemies*
>

Nobody is in a position take these cities except for White anyway. It's an
empty threat.


>*We encourage the Spectators to use Mt Everest and Sparta as sporting
>resorts; you could well need the excercise (and besides all rooms are
>equipped with color-TV and 99 channels..)*
>

How generous of White to allow us these cities! I don't suppose White's
generosity is at all linked to the fact that these are Orange's *most*
heavily defended cities (enhanced defense as well). Sparta is a DEF2 city
occupied by a hero, dragon and several spiders. Mt. Everest is occupied by
two Wizards and several spiders. It would take a lot of manpower to occupy
these cities, and our heavy losses would be White's gain.


>
>-- We sharply condemn THE SPECTATOR overtake of Atlanta which is the only
>way the Reporters can reach the temple. We demand that Spectators move out
>of Atlanta and hands over the keys of the city to the Reporters!
>

Atlanta is *not* Green's only access point to the temple for Green. Moscow
would also serve this purpose very well. Frankly, we feel that White should
not only relinquish Moscow, but also give up Montreal in order to give
Green some breathing room.



>We will accept that the Spectators make an effort to help out the Athletes
>with Mt Everest and Sparta, but we cannot accept this outrageous neglect of
>the Reporters religious needs! In agreement with the policy of Equal
>Oppurtunities (memo X492-R00), all parties should have access to the temple
>and a high quality resort close to the temple.
>

White wants us (Blue) to have less presence in the center, so that he can
eventually overpower us there. But it *is* okay for White to own two cities
in the center? This is a blatant double standard. Again we challenge White
to relinquish Moscow to Green and we will do the same with Atlanta. Green
owning two cities in the center would help to neutralize this area. We are
very supportive of it.



>*If you give up Atlanta, we will support your right to Mt Everest and
>Sparta, respect your right to all up to date occupied cities and offer you
>a peace treaty lasting to and including turn 12.*
>

Again we cannot thank you enough, White, for allowing us the opportunity to
battle Orange's most heavily defended cities, so that you can take
advantage of our heavy losses.


>If you do not give up Atlanta, we will have to reconsider your competence
>as entrepreneur in Mt Everest and Sparta as well...
>
>-- We hail THE REPORTERS, who has behaved like gentlemen, respecting the
>turn-old treaties between us. We encourage you to stand up for your right
>to Atlanta and access to the temple and promise that we will not use any
>concentration of troops to save what is yours for a sneak attack for as
>long as our treaty is valid.
>
>If Spectators insists on keeping what is not theirs (god forbid!) we would
>be willying to consider a more far reaching cooperation! "
>


We will paraphrase White here. "Thank you Green for allowing us to focus
all of our efforts into expanding on former Orange territory while giving
you absolutely NOTHING in return.



(Now this is me talking. Green, the time has come for us to work together.
White is taking over the world and starting to dictate what we can and
cannot do. It is logical for the two weakest players to establish an
alliance so that they can fend off the more powerful player. You MUST
cancel your agreemnent of neutrality with White. By declaring so in
advance, you preserve all honour. Your war efforts against us will yield
very little if anything. Razing Oslo was a premptive measure on our part to
prevent you from gaining a stronghold and advancing an attack against us.
We will do whatever we have to to protect ourselves! We are getting
desperate because we know what happens when two players gang up on a third,
and that is exactly what is starting to happen here. But make no mistake of
it: we are still in a strong position and we will put up a good fight no
matter what happens.

Also, let me throw this out: It is a known phenomenon that in a 4-player
game that if a player resigns or disappears, as Orange has done, that it
throws a game way out of balance. The two players adjacent to the missing
player benefit greatly, and the player diagonally opposed to the missing
player gets squeezed. You are in the unfortunate position to be diagonally
opposed to Orange. It's luck of the draw, I guess. You should know that we
are not interested in expanding into Green territory. We are perectly
content to keep the cities that we already have. Doing well in the
tournament does not require you to win the game! You only need to do well
with your position. if you don't believe me, go to the tournament web site
and read about the rankings and how it works.)

  Diplomatic Message from the Supreme Ruler of the Reporters

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Just recently I was handed diplomatic news from both the organizers and
spectators. After reading all of both reports, I was shocked at what I
was offered. I am given a chance to give up my (What I thought at the
time before orange's disappearence) perfect alliance with the mighty
organizers. But now that the Athletes have been left to starve, I need a
new strategy. (Now organizers, I know what your thinking, "Oh dear, it
appears that I am being betrayed, I guess I should flatten all who would
dare to betray me!") Well, I have several choices, each with their own
benefits: First of all, White has told Blue that he must give up on
Atlanta, or would be punished by war, this allows me to freely take
Atlanta, or so I thought. Blue then announced that White must in turn
give up Moscow to me. Then I thought, "What if one of them disagrees
with these terms and starts an era of chaos? I must choose now and
choose wisely or it may lead to my demise." After endless hours of
consulting with my most trustworthy advisors, I have decided on what
will hopefully please both the Organizers and the Spectators: Since the
Organizers demanded that Atlanta should be given to me or would begin a
war to end all wars, and also likewise the Spectators demand that Moscow
should be surrendered to me, I have decided that the only way to avoid
such horrifying fate, is to let both of you keep your cities of Moscow
and Atlanta, I know I get no benefit from this, except the feeling that
I may have prevented a dreadful war. I hope you both agree with these
terms, I am sorry if I have not answered everything you may have wanted
me to. Until I respond again, I will keep my armies in only Defensive
positions, I won't capture any neutral cities, or explore any new
territories.

(Using my one extra diplomatic message for turn 6)


Ol' Nick, at the roof of the Temple, heard the messages from Spectators and
Reporters.

He cleared his already sore throat, filled his lungs with air and bellowed:



"Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!



Let it be known to all that the etc and so forth lord Samaranch has heard
the responses from all parties and wisely decided that

-- Organizers will keep its pact with the Reporters until and including
turn 12. The Reporters defensive stance is a good foundation for friendly
neighbourial relations also in the future and lord Samaranch is presently
interested in prolonging the pact with the Reporters

-- since Reporters makes no claims on Atlanta, Organisers will regard
Atlanta as a true part of the Spectator realm

-- since Spectators repeatedly has recognized Munich as a Organiser city,
it will, from the Spectator point of view, be an act of war to take
Spectator troops inside the walls of Munich, and we will recognize as such!

-- we have answered positively the Spectator request to raze Rome on turn 6
and on turn 6 only; we will however not tolerate any assault on the orcish
mob outside the gates of Rome; any such deed will be regarded as an act of
war!"


Ol' Nick then lowered his voice and added with a hoarse whisper: "I know I
did wrong in staying in the temple overnight, but the stars shone so
brightly from the roof, the stillness was so stunning -- it was
once-in-a-lifetime event and I do not regret it... I'll leave early in the
morning and no more will I or any of my followers sleep overnight at this
sacred place.."

Diplomacy first ...

WHITE: It's not so much what we did this turn, but what we did NOT do that
matters. We did NOT raze any of your cities, we did NOT kill your Orc Mob.
We did NOT launch any attacks against you. Let us say without any doubt
that we COULD have caused much havoc, but we showed restraint despite your
despicable blockade of the temple. It could very well be that you are
planning to attack us and that we are missing an opportunity for a
premptive strike. Nonetheless, we looked at our options and decided that it
would not be beneficial for our two nations to engage in all-out war at
this early stage in the game, and we are counting on your common sense to
make this a mutual decision. We may have you assessed wrong.

Please note that we DID move our hero near Ivan's Palisade and we DO plan
to take this gold next turn. We feel strongly that you are not the only one
who should benefit from Orange's demise. You are obviously going to get
Irwin's Vault (2500 gp) and you've already received an extra Devil. We want
that gold in Ivan's Palisade In fact, we insist on it.

Please be advised that your recent actions can easily be construed as acts
of war. Blocking the temple not only prevents us from blessing our units,
but it places many of your units in position to attack some of our cities
(although to do so would result in heavy losses). Your hero/dragon stack is
also in position to attack us. We will tell you this as clearly as
possible: Move your units from the temple, move your hero/dragon to a safe
distance and keep your units away from Ivan's Palisade. Otherwise, declare
your intentions to make war (like a man) and quit this pussyfooting around!

GREEN: I hope you do not intend to sit on the sidelines this entire game.
It could be that you are hoping for war to break out between ourselves and
White, in which case you will quietly move in on one or both of us as we
are both weakened. That might work or it might not.

Now, my turn ...

Start and End:
-12 cities
-245 gp in the treasury
-332 income
-167 expenses

Nothing else to report.

Diplomacy

-- Organisers repeat their promise to Reporters to keep the pact until and
including turn 12 and are  ready to start talks about prolonging and
expanding the treaties as soon as the Reporters so wishes

-- As the Couchpotatoes has demonstrated such little interest in the
Athlete's sporting resorts, Organisers has decided to open up a small
travel bureau in Tokyo - many administrators are very eager to see the
training camps of so many famous athletes. The travel and tourist
facilities will be inaguarated next turn by Baron de Coubertin himself who
at the same time will attend to a managerial course in the nearby ruins of
Panago's Tomb. The course is believed to increase de Coubertins commanding

DIPLOMACY


We pray for Lord Chanchellor Murdoch to repress by any means neccessary the
anarchists that presently seems to have taken over all media, leaving the
Reporters without leadership and management!


To the Couch Potatoes:


You demand:

* 1) Samaranch III will not go further north than Panagos Tomb
- Somewhat surprised, we are more than happy to grant you your wish!

* 2) Stop your vectoring to the cities in the center.
- We cannot accept this demand.

* 3) Said neutrality will begin immediately and end at the beginning of Turn=
 13
- On the whole it is agreeable to us. However, we are not willying to
fulfill your second demand (above).

* 4) Absolutely no blocking the temple
- We agree with you that the Temple under no circumstances ever again
should be occupied.

To this we add:

- We suggest we divide the world between us in two northern-southern
hemispheres. The division line will be the temple. North of the Temple line
is Organiser's land. South of it is Spectator's land.

- The line on which the temple lies, as the line just north and just south
of it, these three lines, are to regarded as Both Men's Land, where both
parties can have cities and troops without the other party having any right
to interfere

=46inally:

After the razing of Rome you must withdraw your bat or it will be
considered as a gift from you to our hunters to play with...

-To The Dogs:

>
>* 1) Samaranch III will not go further north than Panagos Tomb
>- Somewhat surprised, we are more than happy to grant you your wish!

We meant "South"!




Tentatively, we will accept a cease fire and agree to divide the world in
half, but we cannot have your heroes and stacks making threatening moves
near our cities! We would like to propose some slight modifications to our
proposed cease fire ...

1) Both of our nations can vector anywhere they want. Agreed.
2) Neutrality will begin immediately and end at the beginning of Turn 13.
Agreed.
3) Absolutely no blocking the temple. Agreed
4) The world will be divided between us. In general, the Organizers get the
north, the Spectators get the south. The division line will be the temple.
North of the Temple line is Organiser's land. South of it is Spectator's
land. Cities that are on the line stay in possession of current owner.

We would like to propose a slight modification to "4". The Orange city of
Mt. Everest shall remain as Orange territory for the remainder of our cease
fire as a buffer between our two (paranoid) nations. Likewise, the Green
city of Barcelona shall remain a Green territory to serve as a buffer.

5) The east-west line that runs through the temple is Both Men's land. The
line that runs from the temple NORTH is Organizer's territory. The line
that runs from the temple SOUTH is Spectator's territory.

6) Spectators shall remove Bat from Organizer's territory
7) Samaranch III will not move closer to our city of Seoul


Final Note: Please consider what you are doing with Samaranch III. A
threatening move against Seoul will not be taken lightly. We cannot accept
a cease fire if you are making threatening moves against us.

Waiting for your answer,
-Spectators

/ Using my extra diplomatic message for turn 8 /


Best Potatoe-heads!

You say 'north'. Then you say "-We *meant* south!" To say the least your
mashed potatoe version of spoken english does not make our negotiations
easier -- should we presume from now on that 'north' means 'south'?

We plan to:

- put up guards along the borders and in the passes in  our own hemisphere
- bring Samaranch home over the Eastern Plains
- visit remaining unvisited ruins in our hemisphere


This means that Samaranch will remain in the vicinity of Soeul for another
turn or two while moving from east to center/west. It is unavoidable and
besides it will take place on the plains in our own hemisphere.

With this reservation in mind we are willying to consider a neutrality
arrangement




Temporary cordially greetings,




Samaranch,
Coubertin

DIPLOMACY
---------

Warlords,

it is with concern and worry we note that the latest news from the
Spectators did not contain any comment on our suggestions to the treaty or
even any reference to our discussions to save peace at all! This even worry
us more as we noted that a group of spiders had been placed so that they
would be able to reach Moscow tomorrow morning.

We are honest friends of worldwide peace and proper management. We have
made deals we have stuck to almost since the beginning of this conflict.
Even in this worrying situation we have taken steps to decrease the tension
between us and the Spectators. They will be described in detail later.

=46irst, let us point to all Warlords that we are rapidly approaching turn
12, the last turn of our treaty with the Reporters, also the proposed date
of the yet not signed treaty with the Spectators. At the morning of day 13
we all have to face a future which may be colored in any of three shades of
despairing black, but perhaps instead dressed in white, the color of hope.
It is up to you, gentlemen!

The three black alternatives are:

- Organisers and Reporters unite to eliminate the Spectators
- Reporters and Spectators unite to eliminate the Organisers
- Organisers and Spectators clash, while Reporters bide until the last
turns to take what they can from its weakened neighbours.

In short: Blood, death and misery!

But there is also the hope that all Warlords unite to give each other an
acceptable outcome in the future wars -- remember that we all are competing
not with each others but with the phony Warlords in other arenas, carrying
the same colors as us.

Cooperation is the key to the future, friends!

In order to maintain a climat  beneficial to negotiations we have:

- according to the deal: started to move lord Coubertin from the Tokyo area
westwards towards the temple and our cities. With him travels all city
specialists in the area.

- on top of the deal and on our own initiative: We have stopped all
vectoring to Tokyo

- Also on top: We have begun to vector all production in Tokyo to other citi=
es

- Instead of a strong city defence in Tokyo we have put up a light city
defence in combination with a small forest patrol - both good at defending
but none with attack capabilities

In order to counter any attack on Moscow, we have put up an all-blessed
road block WEST of the temple, to stop the spider patrol from getting to
Moscow. We have made sure that the possible attack unit of three griffins +
bat will lose out against the present defence in Moscow, even if *all*
attackers were blessed.

Of course, the road block is not enough to defend the Moscow road if all
Spectator units in the area where put up against them, but at least it is
enough to prevent a hasty and spontaneous attack. If there is to be a
conflict it will have to be a full scale war or nothing at all... But we
count on the good judgement of the Spectator leaders to stay away from such
foolish deeds!


Signed,


lord Samaranch III

<fontfamily><param>Geneva</param>(Prologue)

Two major problems with White's last diplomatic message. White claims
to want peace, but in the same move, White positions his most powerful
hero within striking distance of one of our key cities (hey, that's not
the way to the temple!). At the same time White moves a large Unicorn
stack to within striking distance of our cities in the center. These
are not the moves from someone who wants peace.


Not to mention the biggest flaw with White's proposal for three-way
peace in this game: It's against the rules! Peace is not an option in
Tournament games.    :-)

DIPLOMACY (OR LACK THEREOF!)

TO WHITE

We spent much of the earlier part of this game trying to come to some
mutual agreement about how to get along in the center. You didn't even
respond to us, and over time you focused a lot of your energies on a
massive arms buildup there. To what avail? It certainly seems that you
have been planning to eventually attack us. If we have misjudged you
than you have certainly played a part!


Our choices were: 1) Trust you not to attack us (while you positioned
your units to do just that! AND while you vector 7 units to the cities
in the center. (We followed suit only after we saw all that vectoring
you were doing.) Or 2) Launch what amounts to a premptive strike.
Against vastly superior numbers, we believe our surprise attack yields
a small advantage for the time being. Only time will tell for sure
whether or not our decision shall redeem us in this game.


I'm not sure I look forward to what happens next, but you have to admit
this game is a little more interesting now.    :-)


What to do with Moscow? I cannot hold it, and I would have razed it had
I not been in desperate need of cash. I guess you should take it back,
White or give it to Green.




TO GREEN

First off, I apologize for our blockade of the temple. We had to put
AbnormAl there for his own protection (did you know that a stack has
better defense when he's on a temple?). He will be removed next turn.
AND we will not impede your access to the temple in the future (if we
are in a position even to do so!)


I also would be glad to hand over the city of Moscow to you, should you
so desire. But you might have an argument from the Dogs in the North.



</fontfamily>Cheers,

-The Spectators

DIPLOMACY ...in short
-- Spectators are oathbreakers!
-- Be it known that war is declared on the Spectators. Already the city of
Atlanta is burning. Other will follow!
-- We hereby declare that the city of Moscow will fall under the
jurisdiction of the Media Empire - Reporters, Moscow is yours to keep!

=2E..and extensive:

AbnormAl really lives up to his name!

The great non-communicator, the Preparer of Ambush While Talking Peace, has
the guts to nitpick on the leaders who are taking their responsibility and
tries to formulate suitable conditions for peace. Come, listen to the clown!


 * Two major problems with White's last diplomatic message. White claims to
=20want peace, but in the same move, White positions his most powerful hero
=20within striking distance of one of our key cities (hey, that's not the wa=
y
=20to the temple!). At the same time White moves a large Unicorn stack to
=20within striking distance of our cities in the center. These are not the
=20moves from someone who wants peace.

Baron de Coubertin has been moving westward south of the grave as demanded
by his Treacherousness in earlier message. On the way, city specialists has
been absorbed into the stack as to not threaten Mr PotatoeHead, top hash of
all Couch Potatoes!

 The Unicorn stack was clearly defensive. It consisted of units moving from
=20Moscow to the temple, getting blessed and returning home. Any observer
=20seeing the moves of the stack would see it was down to zero. It had to
=20move as one stack as the city specialists from Atlanta, with plenty of
=20movement left has stationed it self just outside the temple and within
=20reach of Moscow.

 * Not to mention the biggest flaw with White's proposal for three-way
=20peace in this game: It's against the rules! Peace is not an option in
=20Tournament games.

It takes a twisted mind to read in twisting of the rules in our honest
message. We simply stated the possibilities... A three way peace would be
the ideal solution, but with a less than ideal neighbour, only blood, steel
and fire can be used in order to keep peace!

There is however still one issue we can agree on. Mr PotatoHead suggest:

 * What to do with Moscow? I cannot hold it, and I would have razed it had
=20I not been in desperate need of cash. I guess you should take it back,
=20White or give it to Green.


As guardians of peace and justice we hereby officially declare that


                  MOSCOW BELONGS TO THE REPORTERS


We kindly ask Reporters units to take control over the city as fast as
possible. Since the city at present is under a blue flag, the capture of
Moscow will in no way be interpreted as a breach of the White-Green treaty.

In addition, we have opened up another road for the Reporters to the
Temple, by clearing out Atlanta. It was a true pleasure for us...


 * TO GREEN
 * First off, I apologize for our blockade of the temple. We had to put
=20AbnormAl there for his own protection (did you know that a stack has
=20better defense when he's on a temple?). He will be removed next turn. AND
=20we will not impede your access to the temple in the future (if we are in =
a
=20position even to do so!)

How many times will we hear Mr PotatoeHead declare that THIS and THIS and
THIS occupation of the Temple (every other turn to be exact) is a mistake
and sheer exception?

However, setting Atlanta on fire has calmed me down somewhat. It is a
beautiful day after all, is it not?


Enough of diplomacy, on to the facts & figures!

--------------------
Short Diplomacy-----
--------------------

Just ignore my Hero in the mountains, he is only patiently awaiting use
of the temple and he will NOT make any warlike moves.

You did say I could have Moscow, right? I wasn't quite sure if you meant
I could just take it. If I was wrong, then tell me so and I shall
retreat my hero from the city and keep him out of reach of it.

I also noticed Atlanta was razed? When did that happen?? Maybe I wasn't
paying close enough attention?

Don't think I am interested in a 3-way-peace, I'm just not quite ready
for war yet.

DIPLOMACY
Note: Obviously, we're not very good at this diplomacy thing. For instance,
we were sincere about leaving the temple open this turn for Green's hero to
be blessed, but we failed to mention that we would have no qualms at all
about killing Green's hero(es), especially if it/they come around with a
treasure trove of hero items. None of this turn was deliberate or planned.
It was an oppourtunity that presented itself.

GREEN: If we were in a position to offer advice, we would say this: Never,
never leave your heroes vulnerable to attack, even to your allies, but
*especially* to non-allies. In this case, you left both of your heroes
vulnerable to a player who is under attack, under a lot of pressure and
very much NOT your ally.

That smoldering city (Atlanta) you noticed last turn is the aftermath of
one of White's recent forays into our territory. Also notice White's armies
camped out near our city of Seoul. These are signs that all is not well in
our realm. We are trying to survive against a very shrewd and powerful
warlord and we're still very sorry you did not take us up on our offer of
an alliance.

(Things may look grim, but you will actually have the opportunity to hire a
new hero since both of your heroes are now dead. There are some conditions
for such a new hero. You will have to go to the Player's Web site to find
out.)


WHITE: We are not going to mince words. One of two things will happen next:
1) You will leave us alone, backing your units away from Seoul and Dublin,
and we'll head south against Green. Or 2) You will keep advancing into our
territory and we will do likewise in YOUR territory with a hero who now is
strength +8 and comm +5 and flying!

The fate of your city Montreal hinges on what you do next!   :-)

All in all, you're razing of Atlanta is a good thing. It will help
neutralize this highly volatile area. You've already settled the score. Our
talks of splitting the world in half a few turns ago, which were completely
derailed by Green NOT becoming a Lost Player, can now be resumed because
his heroes are dead and we have an opportunity for expansion We also
believe you should raze Moscow on Turn 12 so that we do not outnumber you
in the center.






-The Spectators

The following diplomatic history message is from Magnus so-8859-1?Q?Gšransson?<magnus@gustaf.smi.mas.lu.se> and is being sent to all the players of the Warlords II game "A07".


Turn report from Organisers/White: Game A07, turn 11
----------------------------------------------------

Diplomacy in short:

Samaranch baffled over Reporters behaviour, do not know what to expect next.

Mexican standoff between Organisers and Spectators - Samaranch promises an
eye for an eye, friendship for friendship, and damage for damage


Organisers started with			ended with
--------------------------------------------------
Samaranch level 2, x points		no change
de Coubertin, level 2, y points		no change

Cities	15				no change

Gold	933(320-204)			253(320-326)


Actions: Troop movements!

To be able to continue peace talk under equal conditions, Samaranch
positioned himself in place which is as threatening to the Spectators as is
the large amounts of units in Moscow to the Organisers. And in Melbourne,
very vulnerable to Spectator attacks, the valuable production of unicorns
was replaced by the more modest production of light cavalry. That means at
least 500 gold pieces less, should the Spectators attack and pillage!



DIPLOMACY

To the Reporters:


Friends!

Friends? If you are friends why do you give up your most valuable items to
the Spectators? Is it a Chrismas gift neurosis?

We hope you learned a lesson about how much trust you can have to words
spoken by Spectators... Then again, we cannot help noticing that our treaty
runs out the next turn, no suggestions has come from you and the most off
your ill-placed troops are closest to our border, far from where they can
protect your cities from the Spectator attack in the east. We really do not
understand what you are up to!

We will try to reach a separate peace with Spectators. Only if they reject
or betray us once more will we enter into open war.

However, we will not attack you. And if the Spectators are foolish enough
to challenge us both we will turn to you for an alliance.

As a gift; take these advices:

- Do not forget to declare turn 11 as your turn X, in order to get a new
hero as fast as possible!

- Your devil cancels hero bonuses. Place him where you fear the hero in
Moscow will attack.

- Do not lump your unicorns together in one stack. Place one unicorn in
front of each spider stack. then the spiders will move swiftly in the
forests and get a +2 in strength in forest battles as well as in the cities.

- Spectators weak side is the bad defence in the east. Once the border city
is passed, the land lies open. An offensive is the best defence!

- If a city with a very valuable production. like unicorns, is not possible
to defend - overbuild so the enemy won't get more advantages (overbuild
means: go to 'build' and open the window. Mark the ring of the current unit
you would like to overbuild (like the unicorn). Buy a new unit (like a bat
or light infantry). You will now see that the bat or whatever has replaced
the unicorn in the city production window...! ;-)


Your neigbour Samaranch!






To the Spectators:


Treaty-breakers! With false promises did you fool the Reporters. But
Administrators are not as easily tricked!

We now have a mexican stand-off. You can hurt me. I can hurt you. If we
both attack the Reporters will be left alone with an intact production and
soon one hero. That is fine with us. But we prefer to win, given a choice!

Whatever you do to me I will do to you. Attack and I attack, while giving
the Reporters all the advice I am capable of. Retreat and I will retreat.
Make peace and I will make peace. Betray me once and I betray you once -
twice, and I betray you twice and so on...

We have overbuilt the production of unicorns in Melbourne so you will not
gain any gold by taking the city. We have built a threat against Seoul and
Sydney at the same time - and you can't defend both, should you choose to
attack me!

We gave you an peace offer you spitted on! Now you must give us an offer in
return or face the consequences!



Samaranch,
the thorn in your side!
the pebble in your shoe!
the little piece of cork floating in your wine...

The following message was sent on Thursday January 08, 1998 at 09:39 PM EST
by Anthony Pierry <tpierry@mail2.nai.net> to all players;

Here is my turn 11 report:

Gold at start: 775

=====================
I declare that this is my turn X!
=====================

Final cities: 11
Final gold: 775
Final income: 200
Final expenses: 321

--------------------
Short Diplomacy-----
--------------------

To the Organizers:  I know that next turn is the time when we are
supposed to end our alliance, but I am in desperate need of help, it
seems to me that the evil leader of the Spectators is planning to
completely destroy me, he has a few armies that would greatly lower my
defences, and perhaps even kill them all, I would buy better defensive
units, but  I'm too low on gold and I can't wait even 2 turns, (I
believe he plans to attack now!), so I am in desperate need of your
help, I would gladly sacrifice a castle or two to you; 'Tis far better
then being eliminated. I would feel much safer if we extended the
alliance to at least turn 15, please let me know if you agree or not!

To the Spectators: There isn't much to say to you, just don't ever talk
to me about any treaty or alliance with you! You can never earn my trust
no matter what you do know!

NOTE: We are as baffled as everyone else about the events of this game. Let
us repond, in brief, to both the Green and White nations.

*****

The Green nation said this: "There isn't much to say to you, just don't
ever talk
to me about any treaty or alliance with you! You can never earn my trust
no matter what you do know!"

Our response: Jeez, we tried to get you to agree to some kind of alliance,
but you didn't respond or work with us at all! A treaty or an alliance
requires participation on both sides and mutual agreement. Otherwise, there
is NO treaty or alliance. The status between our two nations when you
placed your two heroes within our grasp was that there was NO treaty or
agreement or even discussions going on of any kind.

*****

The Organizers said this: "Mexican standoff between Organisers and
Spectators - Samaranch promises an
eye for an eye, friendship for friendship, and damage for damage"

Our response: We are going to hold you to that statement, Organizers. By
doing so, we give you the benefit of the doubt--at considerable risk to
ourselves. We do not want war with you, and never have. And we hope that
our actions in this turn demonstrate that we are sincere about that. Please
be aware that we had the opportunity this turn to raze two of your cities
(Montreal and Melbourne). Not only did we NOT take these cities, but we
moved our largest threat (AbnormAl and company) out of reach of ALL your
cities.

We hereby pledge to leave your lands (all territory north of Montreal,
Moscow, Dublin and Seoul) forever if you agree to also stay away from all

Turn report A07, turn 12, side 1 -  WHITE

Turn 12...

It could have been the last turn of a long period of peace and prosperity.

It could have been the height of a period long after remembered as a golden
age of wisdom, mildness and joy.

It could have been...

But then there were the consumers of broadcasted junk, a k a 'the couch
potatoes'. Notorious liars. Extremely violent, no doubt because of
consuming to much video violence. Couch potatoes - the snakes of the
Olympic Paradise!

But then - the administrative masters of the Organizers appeared to
administer some justice; giving the bastards some of their own medicine!

The Organizers TOLD the couch potatoes that each betrayal would be rewarded
by a betrayal back... and it was! The cowardous attack of peaceful Moscow
several turns ago was now repayed with a satisfying interest...:

- six couch potatoes mashed
- two couches burnt
- one couch transferred to an Organisers office...
- 66 gold pieces looted, 225 gold pieces worth of sacking and the loss of
60 gold pieces in income for the 'tatoes

All in all, not a bad day...!


All we hope for now is that the Reporters try to do some deep and
penetrating journalistic work into the remains of Potatoe land...

Here is my turn 12 report:

Gold at start: 587

Unicorn retakes the city of Innsbruck.

Built new unit type of "Light Infantry" at Innsbruck for 160 gold.

Final cities: 9
Final gold: 449
Final income: 200
Final expenses: 349



--------------------
-----Diplomacy-----
--------------------

To the Organizers:  I must congratulate and thank you for a job well
done!! You have
slaughtered our foes! But I am concernened; you made no reply as to
wether or not
our alliance continues on, but you seemed to head in that direction, I
just want to
make sure you won't devastate me as the evil Spectators have. So now I
formerly
ask you: Will you continue our alliance until turn 15 or later? As you
may of noticed,
I am becomeing extremely poor, and I will have to start disbanding
units. I would
attack, but I am in the middle of defending my cities from a gigantic
army and
another smaller army. (I noticed that you hinted for me to attack... I'm
sorry, but I can't
take such a high risk at this moment.) I am in a desperate situation and
in need of
your great wisdomand power! I beg of you to aid me, or I may perish!

To the Spectators: It seems you are planning to completely conquer me, I
have no
choice but to defend myself with what I have. No, I have not givin up
hope, I feel
that I may survive, it all depends on what the Organizers decide...
