09 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [USA]:Welcome all! You all have complimentary doughnuts, Big Macs, and insulin packs waiting in your hotel rooms. Canadians: America may seem vulnerable since it touches two oceans, but that is also her strength. Killing me is a commitment, one that takes so long there's usually a hulking Brazilian or Argentine bearing down on you before you've reached Texas. If I live, that burden is mine to bear. We each have flourishing enemies a short distance away, so think about it.
09 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Quebec]:What do you consider canada? The west or east?
09 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Western-Canada]:i would say he meant both parts
09 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Oz]:Economists are saying that brazil is the only market expecting to grow..... Could be some truth in what US is saying... Hello all, Good game, have some fun. Frozen.... Do you want to bang icebergs to ice cubes or can we work to a common goal? Or a non aggression pact? Let me know
09 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Western-Canada]:Quebec and USA: I propose an amicable distribution of the disputed territories in North America. Quebec will get Godthab and Manitoba, USA will get Mexico and Union and I will take Indian Territories and Alaska. Then, we can back off our common borders and fight the rest of the world.
09 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Frozen-Antarctica]:I don't see the need for endless battles. What/Who do you mean by 'common goal'?
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Quebec]:that works for me canada if USA can agree to it
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Oz]:Survival first. A non aggression pact is in order perhaps. you concentrate on the lower continent and I will leave you in peace. I'll hunt elsewhere or maybe another neighbour would consider some similar terms. Sounds like north america is getting it together. Anyone else?
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Western-Canada]:I hope he does. Its a good deal and will work well if we all work together.
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Oz]:Glad you guys are on the other side of the world, shrinking as it is
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [China]:Hello, I'm China! Have I not become the economic life support for all of you western spendthrifts? :)
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [USA]:My fellow North Americans, I agree with the plan in theory, but if we change the distribution we'll all be better off. WC, your current opening would give you a big chance to stab my unprotected west coast, but if you move to Yte, Beau, and NWT, no one's in danger and trust comes naturally. Similarly, Quebec, since you have two home centers adjacent to Union, it would be safer for both of us if you were its steward. As an extra safeguard to ensure a flawless 2000, I would appreciate Quebec holding in the spring so my A Nevada and southward fleet moves may proceed without fear.
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [USA]:South Americans, You are destined to face a long and tiring battle with your continent-mate. I can easily focus my attention exclusively on either coast, allowing us to cooperate without tripping over each other. I enjoy creative alliances and you need some muscle, so let's work together.
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Libya]:Wow y'all talk a bunch~ haha may the best man win!
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Western-Canada]:USA: I accept your option if Quebec does. That would mean you get Indian Terr, I get Manitoba and Quebec gets Union?
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Europe]:hahaha
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [USA]:Libya I promise I'd hide all of this communication if it weren't public only, but what can ya do? WC--thanks. I hope it doesn't matter who gets Man since in either case you two will have 4 fleets heading north and an army taking Man. The three neutrals can be emptied Spring 01 and everyone's happy.
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Quebec]:sounds good
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Western-Canada]:good for me
10 Jul 12 UTC	Spring, 2000: [Western-Canada]:Quebec: I will take Manitoba in the Autumn move
