Mastema, Sir (or may I call you Your Overlordness), I am looking forward to further contact detailing my plans for your Supreme Rule[sup]TM[/sup] throughout Europe and appropriate surrounding countries.
I prostrate myself before the power radiating from your post and hope you will accept my humble input regarding total world domination. A man like you requires loyal and firm alliances, I can see that!
Nevertheless, let me take a moment to assure all of you that of course each and everyone of the players is welcome to my advice and guidance.

I will make sure that all interests are served in the best way! Allying with me won’t be to your detriment.
And just to get us all into the spirit of the game: Three cheers for the Best-Ruled Seven Countries A Game of Diplomacy Ever Had!!
Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!
These are not the armies you’re looking for. I can go about my business. Move along.
A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.

You know, I can’t help but notice that everyone else is being abnormally silent during all of this. Either they are very clever and are watching Einmon and I give away all of our plans. In a related bit, foxfiregirl doesn’t seem to be doing ANYTHING on the SDMB, I can’t find her with a search. Is she from this message board?
The rest of you feel free to jump in here anytime.
She doesn’t need to actively post to participate. It’s just a problem if she’s gone on full silent running. Anyway, maybe she just doesn’t have anything important to say.
FYI, I still haven’t heard a peep from foxfiregrrl or Mystery Emailer #1. Flood is out of town until tomorrow, so there’s no point in panicking just yet, but I’ve sent all three of them another message in hopes of figuring out if we still have enough for a full game.
If anyone is lurking and interested in playing in the game, shoot me an email because we might have a opening for a beginner. Thanks.
