(This is actually **Jonmarzie** , not that stupid imposter **soup\_du\_jour**.) It’s all Turkey’s fault. You should go after him!:eek: ---

I already rule China… And if I told you how the Secret Marco Polo Move [sup]TM[/sup] worked, it wouldn’t be much of a secret now, would it? It’s been traded in Italian families for centuries now. This much I can tell you: It involves a large fleet, some spaghetti and one medium-size goat. ---

Sorry, Einmon, but France controls all the medium-sized goats in Europe. You’ll have to make do with two small goats or half of a really big one. ---

Um, will there ever be a link to the last round? If not, can someone email me a copy of the latest map. I’m dying to tease you all. And there needs to be poetry here at some point. ---

BTW, **Soup** did send the map and I gotta say, it’s a total mess. Turkey is looking pretty good, and maybe England. Beyond that I wouldn’t want to be playing any of those positions. Germany, what’s up? Feeling like the rain is falling on your head? And Russia, maybe you’d better pay attention to what’s happening in your backyard while you’re attempting to wolf down zee Germanz. ---

Taken from _The Walrus and the Carpenter_: “The time has come” **Monsuier Bravo** said “to speak without jest, Of maps and fleets and conquered lands, and who will be their guests, and why the Brits are so angry, would they like to have Brest?” Ok, so I don’t have a knack for it, but hey, you all wanted poetry ---

**flood** , I think that agreement is null, now that British troops are in Brest. That, or you sure got a heck of a deal. 😉 ---

I’m feeling very saucy right now, **Soup**. In this moment of sauciness, I’d like to invite you over for tea and crumpets in France. I’m having them shipped over from England but they’re going the long way (the channel _is_ occupied y’know). Bloody French. ---

So is there a hypertexty map somewhere? **flodd** , good, but it helps if you start with a really well known poem. And if you can get the GM to particiate, that’s good too. By the way, I met Germany last weekend, so I’m rooting for her now. ---

I’ve just forwarded the map to you **Wikkit**. What do you mean a well known poem? _The Walrus and the Carpenter_ is the best damn poem you will ever read. Women cloud judgement as well. You should be wary. And root for me.🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/diplomacy-dominatrix/185727.md?page=11) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/diplomacy-dominatrix/185727.md?page=13)
