31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: Five powers will soon intersperse
With press exclusively in verse
To my fellow states
I wish you good fate
And to my betrayers a curse.
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: cheers plato, I hope our relationship will be platonic
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: Hey Persia, you know it's a crime
To publish press without rhyme
(Or at least that's my comprehension).
I too want a border sans tension.
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: Let's try to agree on a DMZ
I think ours should be in Turkey.
I propose a ban on the center-lands
The rest of the plan's a bit murky.
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I'll worry you least,
from the distant east,
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: R.e. Stern is totally right,
Lousy player, yet fast and bright

Think and take your time
But write your press in rhyme

No exceptions
No deviations
No fake anomalies
Or we'll risk tensions.
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: The following nations should be demarcations
where neither shall move to maintain good relations:
All Bythnia, Galatia, and Isauria shall be
As empty as the waters of the peaceful Black Sea.
Do you agree?
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: I've got Rome,
Worse than a broken gnome
Always fighting Carthage
Usually ends in carnage

Is there another way
Another mode to play
A road to East, let's find
I keep an open mind
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: Rome, talking of moving East?
That sounds like a threat
You should cool your jets
And perhaps this can end in peace.
31 Mar 17 UTC Spring, 1: I am fed up with punic
It's like spitting pubic
I take sicilia
And beautiful marsilia

Carthage takes the rest
No need to pass a test
The meat is in the East
Let's go have a feast.
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: I hope that the "meat" you so treasure
Will come from a certain hot desert.
Because, Rome, you ought to see
It would be great hypocrisy
To attack the very people
Who taught you democracy.

If we play our cards right,
We can win this great fight,
But if we don't stick together
We'll both be out like a light.
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: My oh my, Rome's moving East?
It's really not looking good for me.
I hope Carthage will still leave me alone
And if so
Here's a little plan of my own.

I'll take Cyrene, then retreat
We'll have a DMZ at these very seas
The gulf of Cyrtis and the gulf of tacape
To obey these terms will hold us like tape.

I hope you join Greece in his move to the west
Obey my terms, and I won't invade your nest
But if I see you seize the seas I'll be sure to DMZ in the east
I trust you agree with me and my plan for peace at least
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: If Hannibal and Scipio are on the same squadron
Things start looking bad for the civilized quadrant.
I urge all the Africans, both beige and cobalt
To choose peace over a large Roman assault.
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: Oh dear Greece, if you don't mind me saying.
To choose peace in the North would be insane.
If Carthage doesn't move north then he'll just move east.
And that doesn't sound that good for me
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: fair is fair
and so be me
you take cherosomnesus
and I take sinopee
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: All these countries are quite versed,
I hope they don't realize I can't rhyme,
They'll come for my lands or maybe worse,
I guess I'll pray that everything will be fine.
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: All these countries are quite versed,
I hope they don't realize I can't rhyme,
They'll come for my lands or maybe worse,
I guess I'll pray that everything will be fine.
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: Hey there Greece here's the deal
I'd like to make a plan that appeals
I'll take Crete and support move you in
Any future conquests you might begin
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: Attention all nations, this is a Spartan newsreel,
Covering the topics that broke during my meal.

Egypt, you first, and I don’t mean you ill,
My plea for peace was straight to the Capitoline Hill
(That’s in Rome for those who don’t recall,
only one of seven on which they built their capital).

And listen, Latins, while your tensions increase
Please remember that ‘Greece’ rhymes with ‘peace’.
Isn’t that the point of our lyrical experiment--
Introducing verse, not decreasing our merriment?

To the folks in Damascus who asked for my consent,
I agree to your proposal one hundred percent.
Back to Egypt, I don’t intend malediction,
But Crete will prosper more under Greek jurisdiction.

Finally, Queen Dido, don’t tear yourself apart,
Persia didn’t even speak in verse at the start.
Nevertheless, I still intend to build rapport,
And peace, the message of Greece, I implore.

To all I come in peace and to all, godspeed
But know that over here, traitors are left to bleed.
01 Apr 17 UTC Spring, 1: Indeed, indeed, indeed
Traitors are left to bleed

I will not start trouble
I'll play as if we are playing scrabble
