Orbifold, checking in. Jonathan speaks true; I have taken over France in a nearly bloodless[sup]*[/sup] coup. I’m currently reviewing over the past moves to determine who has been stabbing whom, and how I can best assist…graciously and with no thought for personal gain, of course. I’ll be e-mailing my fellow monarchs shortly.
[sup]*[/sup]Stupid paper cuts.
Since I’m not in Game 2 I can give you a fully unbiased opinion: they’re all out to get you! Flee, taking nothng more than the clothes upon your back. Don’t bother to lock up the larders or grab the candlesticks, just save yourself, man!
Omni - thanks for picking the 'Skins. I appreciate it as doubtless do JC and RTFirefly, whom I can only suppose has withdrawn because he foolishly believes his beloved team will advance into the next round.
I, for one, welcome our new French overl…
Wait a minute :smack:
M’sieur, I congratulate you on your appointment to this prestigious position, and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship. ::doffs hat::
Welcome back, everyone!

Game one!
Two of your number are late. They have been notified.
NMR! NMR!
:: waves burning faggot in the air ::
No! Wait! Only NMR if it benefits me!
So, how long before you declare a NMR, anyway?
I dislike NMRing in most cases. One of them has checked in. I’ll give the other a bit of time.

JC you should have my builds/disbands already…
Y’know, I didn’t like that fleet anyway.
Better send 'em again…just to be sure.
It was sooooo obvious that Austria was going to backstab Russia in game 2. I swear its like Priceguy is controlling Italy and Russia. Russia has stabbed me in the back twice and Italy once. I wouldn’t have minded it so much if it weren’t so blindingly obvious that it was contrary to their interests.
Wow.
Now treis that’s not entirely correct. I stabbed you once and only once. The second time I told you I might be able to do something. I took a gamble and I lost, what can you do?
You are right. You gave indications that you would help me but never made any promises. My mistake.
One of your number is late. He has been alerted.
[stereotype mode=inappropriate]Put me down and put me out, you howwid, howwid man! 
[/stereotype]
Maybe if it was just…you know…flaming…
