For what it’s worth, **flood,** I used to know that entire poem by heart. Also, you will perish for your mistakes. Feel the wrath of the French!\* \*void where prohibited by law. ---

I know the poem from memory right now (damn that English IV class…). Anyway, no I won’t. The wrath of the French is cancelled out by the Passive-Aggressive Brits™\*:). \*Don’t hurt me if you’re British ---

[Here’s the map](http://wikkit.com/1137_Dominatrix_S03.gif) for anyone else who wants it. Sorry, **Erika** , it’s difficult to root for that. If you can’t convince someone to be your ally now, you’ll be gone soon. If it’s any consolation, Russia will also be dead in a few years, and Italy will soon follow. Kick ass, Turkey, and stab Russia hard. They can’t retaliate, and you’ll still have a nice, one front war. Don’t build any more fleets. The F-E fight should be interesting. England is easy to defend, but France has more SCs; England has the fleets, but France is too armied. Predicted Builds and Disbands for this winter, from best to worst: Turkey builds 2 Engand builds 1 Austria builds 1 France holds Germany disbands 1 Russia disbands 1 Italy disbands 2 ---

Why not? I like logging in. If I didn’t, I couldn’t post anywhere. (I know my post count is quite low, but I do post sometimes.) Besides, how else can I annoy **Soup\_du\_jour**? Stuff lizards in his underwear drawer? :eek: ---

1099 is nothing but naughty players. None of us had orders in by deadline. It’s amazing that Dave doesn’t just NMR all of us on occasion. I forgot to thank you for your analysis of 1099, **Omni**. It was an interesting read. If you want to know what’s going on behind the scenes, e-mail me. ---
