03 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: The British nation is a peaceful one. It had secured most of his ambitions. I am mostly surrounded by friends. But i wonder what is the international opinion about the world affairs. Which are the blocks of power?. And where we are heading to?.
03 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: To answer you questions:
Right now it looks as though France and Ukraine are going to get eaten. Poland and Italy are going to be stuck in a stalemate unless a foreign power invades one ore the other.
If you go by supply centers, Turkey, Italy, and Myself are the main blocks of power(in ascending order), though Egypt may replace Turkey for 3rd.
I don't think it is entirely clear where we are headed, for the next few turns are going to be crucial in deciding the rise or fall of certain powers among the board.
03 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: Any other opinions? just to make some light conversation.
04 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: That's statement miss the roles that Spain, GB and Russia might play.
04 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: I see them as wild cards. There is no clear direction I see any of them taking, but each player does have the potential to disrupt the board (For instance, Russia could be the foreign power that disrupts the Poland-Italy stalemate or Spain could take Morocco and weaken Egypt).
04 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: What say the wild cards? what are your opinions of the board?
04 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: give me a chance, I will do somethin
04 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: as for me i am pretty pleased with most of my neighbours even if i do not feel like i got my fair share of ukraine and the balkans, but that can be discussed.
and towards italy, the recent campaign was more to distract my troops than executing a credible strategy
04 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1996: Maybe you can execute a credible strategy towards East?
09 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1997: Still missing some players here:

09 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1997: I'm not a big fan of Gunboat, I like the human interaction and manipulation that goes on in this game.
09 Dec 16 UTC Autumn, 1997: Also, Poland, could you please hurry and make your moves a little faster? I find that you don't even look at the game till a couple hours before the deadline and it is slightly annoying.
24 Dec 16 UTC Spring, 2001: bye Turkey, welcome new Russia...
24 Dec 16 UTC Spring, 2001: Welcome new Gran Russia.
24 Dec 16 UTC Spring, 2001: Thank you friend.
02 Jan 17 UTC Spring, 2003: So what is the plan, a three way draw between Spain Italy and Egypt?.
02 Jan 17 UTC Spring, 2003: This is a sum-of-squares scoring, so the number of player doesn't matter. What matters is the number of centers. Is a race for points.
02 Jan 17 UTC Spring, 2003: A race of points which Italy is currently winning. Each of us bet 20 points. And Italy is worth 97 points. While Spain worth 15 points. Egypt is in the middle with 57 points. Seems to me that this is not fair trade. Spain is losing and geting the worst part of that deal. Unfair to the core, such a bad deal. I am ready to help and offer a truce if Spain wants to win. I hope he makes a wise decision, unless he likes to keep losing.
02 Jan 17 UTC Spring, 2003: Also Egypt will have to be happy is it is. Just around 60 points maybe. Russia is still far away, and i am afraid that Italy will get most of it. Not bad for Egypt, but is not a good amount of points to be happy about.
02 Jan 17 UTC Spring, 2003: I send my best wishes to both Egypt and Spain. To come back to reason, and start making some profit. This is not about players but center, and you both have few of them. Your south alliance was good at the beginning, but now is only hurting you both while making Italy richer. Will you both keep being bullied like that?.
