It’s my understanding that the Turks make some excellent liquors. You should check those out. Much closer to you anyways, and they have those nice dancing girls. ---

You are right about our dancing girls my friend, but i suffer from an an unusual curse. I love your Russian women - their accents really do it for this Sultan. ---

[Just to there’s a link on every page](http://users.rcn.com/ben.gabrielson/Diplomacy/1092_GRY/). Also apologise for real life getting in the way of the game. If only I’d listen to the advice of the more senior Dippers and quit my job, leave the wife and kids, and rent a small cube somewhere with a direct T3 line into this space… ---

**Shib** - Now you’re talking… man, that would be the life. “Sorry boss, I can’t keep working here, I have to consolidate my hold on Europe before the Spring.” **garius** - Have you seen many Russian women? Please, feel free. In fact, I will bring some to you personally. No charge, honest. ---

It started when he began hanging out with that Trotsky character. I always knew he’d end up no good, maybe snuffed in a Mexican hotel room. ---

FYI - I’ve only gotten 4 sets of re-confirmed orders for today’s move deadline. I’m going to set up a webpage for 1099 right now, and give everyone a chance to get me last minute orders for 1092. I’m a little apprehensive about using the old orders (some going on 5 days old) from before the delay without hearing from those players first. However, I will not delay the game longer and I’ll be adjudicating in probably an hour using the most recent set of orders for all players. You’ll all be able to heckle away one way or another before the workday is up. Oh, and lets not forget to check out the other threads since we’ve got 3 different games adjudicating today. Lots of room for heckling. ---

Sort of a harmonic convergence of adjudication, eh wot? Somebody please ask Signore Soupo to explain his obscure reference. (Not sure if I’m on speaking terms with him again until after adjudgement) ---

I sure hope we’re gonna get to see somebody attack somebody in the West here. I hate to break up your little tea party, here, but c’mon guys, this is a war. The Italy, Austria, Turkey, Russia maelstrom. _That’s_ what it’s all about, bay-bee.
