First, we are definitly going to need more space. Lord DOS V, my tried and true cash cow/war horse, go and "acquire" the city of Stockholm. We'll also need to start renovating I.O.C. headquarters to make it suitably palatial. Come to think of it Stockholm isn't as grand as I'd like either. Fix it up a little.

I notice your journeyings towards Montreal at the border of our two great nations. It is of growing concern to our network that Montreal might be a perfect staging area for network jamming and possible infiltration of our home viewers. This is truely undesireable and we would look harshly upon any such attempts. I would propose a "buffer zone" about the city in question. You are in a clear position to obtain first rights on the city and glean an income of 175gp from it, but holding on to the city might be costly. In a guesture of good will I have not attacked and razed or taken the city for my own efforts this last turn (although I could have, and suffered the consequences.) I propose that you take the city and either raze it outright or pillage it and then vacate and allow me to raze it on turn 4. This will provide a more convienient buffer zone between our peoples and will help my viewers sleep better at night. (By allow me to raze it, I expect to be allowed to raze it and the army used to raze it will be not retaliated upon.) This would allow your fine nation and my glorious network to progress towards the center of the board with all due speed and not get tied down in a costly border skirmish this early in the game. A final (and I hope obvious) stipulation is that I would not welcome you vacating or razing the city and then progressing onwards into our network's territory. (ie. you cant "vacate" the city for me to raze by continuing on into my current territory.) Please let our network know your thoughts on this subject.

Let's hope we have a "peaceful and uneventful" friendship with them. Our goals cannot be compromised... the C'zad'eraq wouldn't appreciate that. Lord Zarikoff is still working hard, it's good to see. While he works though, it seems Duke Dionysis has some other plans in store; we are glad our griffons have been warned of this, to watch over our investment. If he were to do something unfortunate, well, Lord Zarikoff would be more than happy to help us out in our predicament. He has been working on gathering materials to aid his ascent to the highest position on this new world. Him and the other grunts we have running around are still pleasing us. A single old one has claimed a new city, hopefully the friend to the south of us will leave him be in his new home... that way the borders can be solidified and placed, making sure that no more of our armies wonder down south. We must remember to propose this development to our neighbour; hopefully he will see it is in both of our interests. That way he will not be bothered with us and we won't be with him. We can mimic what our other friends are doing, level the playing field.

Hero Ronaldo on his turn met Magnus who didn't say a word to him (how rude) but 'gave' him 2492 gp as a compensation and the Empire decided to hire a lot of new mercenaries including a Spider and a Dwarf. The orange kingdom announced: "I propose a truce" , but in the same time occupied the city and apparently 'forgot' to raze it. Hero DaSnake, confused by these actions, then ordered to conquer the city (fighting the first battle) and occupied it himself. In the meantime he realized that this would do no good to his relationship with the Athletes and gave orders not to attack the other old wise man as a sign of good will, stating: If you are still interested in a truce (from which we could benefit both) let me know and I promise not to take such actions again and make sure the city get razed. An other message was sent to the green kindom: It seems that you have the intention to start a war against us. We didn't quite get the logic behind this action. Allow us to explain this. In every tactical manual you can read it is the most logical to take out the weakest player first. If you take a look at the statistics you will see that we currently have the most cities and are producing the most armies. So we don't think we are the weakest player at this time. What we are trying to say is this: why don't we combine our forces (since you have a very strong position yourself) and take out the weakest player first?

Tonights top headline: WAR SEEMS IMMINENT! Due to an unfortunate incident involving the television rights to the entire tournament, Ronaldo, hero of the Spectators, has gone to the big couch in the sky. Lets go now to watch the story unfold... Thank you for joining us this evening. I have little to say other than the network has been pressuring me to obtain the TV rights for broadcasting, so I went out there with my fine crew and did it. There seemed to be some misunderstanding in the exchange and in the meantime Renaldo and his Dragon drowned. My first assignment today was interviewing Eddy d'Eagle on his newest ventures. After the interview, he gave me some brief skiing lessons and presented me with these fine flying skis I'm wearing now. I then flew north with my entire crew to speak with Renaldo about the TV rights. Heated words were exchanged, and in the fray I lost my best dwarven sound technician and Renaldo and his dragon were drowned in the lake. Back to CNN headquarters. The Network would like to express our condolences to the Renaldo family in thier time of grief. The accident was a terrible tragedy, and we will obtain personal interviews with each of the grieving members of his family, as soon as we can stalk... I mean track them down. Meanwhile, in other news: The Anchorman find 2498gp in his Blown Tire! Truely a serendipitous event. Roving reporters Giant, Elemental, and lt calvary secure nework broadcast rights to Atlanta!

I propose a formal treaty until at least the end of turn 15. (No "aggressive" behavior between our two nations until turn 16.) What say you? Atheletes (Player 2 - Orange): It looks as though the spectators (player 4 - lt blue) have been severely weakened by my attack on their 2nd hero. They are now weakened significantly and are vulnerable for attack. With their aggressive behavior on your border, I do not know how trustworthy you will find them. Let me know your feelings on this and we can discuss possible combined strategies. Spectators: (as a player) My condolences, but killing a hero & dragon and only losing a dwarf is too tempting to pass up. (as a CNN Warlord) If revenge does not cloud your judgement, I can still be reasoned with. However, until I am further informed, I consider us at war. I would be willing to declare peace for many turns in return for your two eastern cities. (ie. vacate them and I will take them over, not raze them.) I would even consider a long term alliance if you cede me 3 cities (the two eastern ones, and the 2nd closest southern one) and vow not to attack me until turn 20 itself. (this would preclude you invading my territory and not attacking my cities. In return, I would not attack you at ALL for the rest of the game.) Why would I do this? I feel that if I gain 3 cities from your portion of the map and maintain my own. I would then secure enough of a success to make it into further rounds. Although I have proposed this peace, I do consider us at war. I believe it is in your best interest to think about what I have proposed.

Carlson" to all players; Spectators in total dissarray! After last weeks "accidental" run-in with the hero of the spectator nation, they remained true to their name and no new leader has risen to rally their people forward. This is truely an unfortunate event for an uncontrolled nation can often be more difficult to reach with CNN's message of consumerism. Advertising revinue is predicted to fall short of previous predictions, but will soon rise as our transmissions permeate the spectators disorganized nation. As I speak, the Anchorwoman has been sent out into the field to distribute television sets to the needy cities of the spectators... This is the anchorwoman, reporting from the field. In our first shipment of television sets, Lake Placid has been established as a central distribution center for the rest of the spectator nation. No losses were incurred when setting up the transmitter and warehouses. Unfortunately, not all spectators are happy to see us here, a dwarf and pikeman were lost in a brief scuffle down at the warehouse district. Giant Blessed at the Temple! Bill, the giant, was blessed at the temple today. When asked what gave rise to the new spiritualism, he replied... "Uggggh! Pretty stones." Anchorman promoted! The Anchorman was promoted to Cavelier today in honor of his fine additions to the CNN revenue streams over the past months. ------- Lake Placid looted for 24 gp, sacked for 80 & 225 gp (305 gp total). Spiders built in Lake Placid.

I hope I'm not doing that poorly. :) Organizers: I have not heard back from you about our informal non-agression treaty. (I believe I haven't.) I would like to formalize it in some manner so as to not have any confusion in the future. (ie. nonagression until some specified turn.) Atheletes: We welcome you into the fold of CNN and give you a free 1 month subscription to "CNN -PLUS". Twice as much news as CNN! Such a deal! I will not cross your borders or attack your cities until at LEAST turn 16. (Roving bands trying to enter my territories will be warned, howver...) Now, off to pummel on the "enhanced" armies of the spectators. Too bad, I cant get ahold of his nicer hero items... C'est la vie.

In the confusion I mistook a diplomatic message from Conrad (organizers I belive) to be from Brad (the atheletes I think). So, the network has a nonagression treaty UNTIL turn 15 with White (Conrad, NW sector) or until mutual agreement. However, We do NOT (to my knowledge) have an agreement with Orange (Brad, NE sector). If the atheletes would like to engage us in a treaty, we would be willing to listen. Perhaps some mutual agreements on how to put down the last of the Spectator rebels.

"It's preliminary. It's no big deal," claimed I.O.C. VP Lord DOS VI. I.O.C. officer Dame Wynne97 could not be reached for comment as she was barricaded in one of her offices with her staff for strategy sessions.

We hope she continues to thrive in her new position. Elsewhere in the world, a roving griffon managed to convince two pikemen in Dublin to vacate so we can establish yet another remote broadcasting station. 140gp were donated to the station as a result and a bat and lt infantry training program were brought into being. However, it is suspected that the minotaur training already located at that station would remain. The newly promoted Anchorwoman continued to show her stuff as she soundly defeated the enemy Spectators' Hero in Garmisch-P. 33gp was found in the enemy hero's pockets and the hero's items were placed in a museum in Calgary for all to admire. A griffon training program was also added to the city. The religious rage continues on turn 8 with two spiders and an Elemental getting blessed at the temple. Not to be outdone by any upstart, the anchorman established a new station in Calgary, gaining 33gp in the bargain. I would like to wish all nations a good winter holiday. I will be leaving town in two days and won't be back until January 1st. I MIGHT be able to play a turn of warlords at my father-in-law's place but it might be a bit hard.

Unfortunatly, riots erupted in the streets in celebration of the event, and the local reporters guild was forced to strongarm the local populace into submission or miss their deadlines. As a result, Sapporo has fallen into the hands of the Reporters. Seen at the restaraunt were the Anchorman, the Anchorwoman, a dragon, a devil, two dwarves and a light calvary. Fleeing the wreckage in the streets were 5 pikemen and a dwarf. During the ceremonies, the customary exchange of gifts was followed between the two heros.

The law firm of Bigg, Hairey, & Poysonous represented the I.O.C. with the city against the Athletes. Rights to the city were procured with a matching bid, a promise that Al, Frank, and Dan won't be assigned to them, and free hot dogs. Damages in the form of a cleaning bill of 129gp were also won from the Athletes to compensate for the cleanup required after housing griffins. "They're basically big, furry pigeons, if you know what I mean," stated one sanitation official. Earnings beat expectations The I.O.C. posted better than expected earnings for Quarter 10. The I.O.C. was expected to operate with a Q10 loss, but managed to come out in the black. A net profit of 3 was recorded.

After last turn's historic meeting of the minds, the Anchorwoman and the Anchorman went their seperate ways. Before dispersing, the Anchorman pulled rank and relieved the Anchorwoman of several of the artifacts she had collected in her travels. Rumors abound of a possible civil suit to be filed at a future date. Anchorwoman Storms into The Couch! After a farewell consisting of sharp words, the Anchorwoman stormed into The Couch. Word spread of her bad mood, and the city inhabitants fled before her arrival. In the confusion, six spectator pikemen, one reporter pikeman, two dwarven reporters, and one dwarven wolfrider perished. 31gp was found left on the street during the rush. Anchorman visits Ci d'Ampezzo! Inhabitants of Ci d'Ampezzo turned out to give the key to the city to the Anchorman. A new broadcasting deal was worked out with the city fathers, but CNN regrets that a few (5) dwarven spectators will have to be downsized. A lone spider reporter forced CNN to let him go when he walked out in protest of the treatment of the dwarves. Savings on his pension plan are expected to come to 31gp.

An alliance in the north threw some plans into disarry at the CNN headquarters today. While the news was not particularly surprising, it was definately disturbing. Heads of departments have been in closed door meetings all day long. The only statement issued was: "We knew it was coming, but that doesn't make the news any easier to hear." Retaliation Against the Athletes! In retaliation of the Athletes formal collusion with the Organizers, a team of elementals and griffons invaded Athlete territory. Seizing 127gp at Tokyo and Mt. Everest, and burning Tokyo to the ground. Not one reporter life was lost in either battle. This just in... a statement from the head office: "... while the news of the northern alliance is grevious to hear, it is not totally unexpected. It certainly lends a more festive spirit to the games and will increase total viewership on a whole. Its hard to sell advertising space in a blow-out game. (not that it was necessarily a blow-out at the time - ed) We, the Reporters, look forward to an interesting end game. While we welcome the inginuity of the Organizers, they ARE the organizers after all! Organizers, take the time until turn 15 to prepare your forces, we will do likewise. We expect that you will respect the agreement of honor agreed upon many turns ago. I look forward to a strong endgame contest. As for the Athletes, know that only 2 turns ago I spared you the loss of your central city (I could have taken it painlessly with my elemental) but spared your city (and the troops that were being sent to it) so that you might continue to hold your ground against the white.
