Nice

Alright, I'm in. Never played a public press game before, though I tend to talk a lot in global chat anyways so it should be amusing.

Damn - I was hoping for some interesting gossip...

It's okay cgwhite32, you can still join!

I'll remember the password idea for next time. Thanks rratclif.

Or..... you could just join this one!

Hi all, I have joined the game :)
Are we diplomaczing in this thread, or in the Global chat in the game?

All communication will be done in this thread.

Cool, ive always wanted to do a public press game.

2 more spots

C'mon people!!! So far at least 3 of the 5 of us have never done this, so don't worry if you're new to this!

bada-bump

I'll join!

I'm in.

We only need one more to get this party started!

I'll send it back to the top of the forum

So what is the Simpsons reference?

There's an episode ('Wild Barts Can't Be Broken' S10E11) in which the kids are all given a curfew thanks to Homer & Co. drunkenly vandalizing the school. They sneak out to go see 'The Bloodening" and are inspired to start a radio show called "We know all your secrets", where they divulge their parents secrets to the town.

It seemed like a fitting name for a public press game, and so I threw in the password as a Simpsons reference. Yes, I am a Simpsons dork, and yes, it's pathetic I didn't have to look up the Episode/Season numbers.

So, we only communicate here? Not in the Global?

Yup!

As the Turkish anbassador I would like to send my greetings to you all. I hope we can all get along. But I am looking for a few friends with whom I can conquer the world . . . . Ya ha ha haaaaaaaa.

Okay, so PirateJack, old buddy old pal, how about a five year treaty, ending spring 1906, English Channel DMZ? If things go smoothly, we can always renew it.

It might make it easier if we state which country we are with each post? Perhaps we'll figure out who everyone is anyway.

PirateJack... it doesn't take much work to see that when mapleleaf plays England he stabs his allies virtually all of the time. I invite you to take a look at his game history. Perhaps he's a better target than ally?

Good luck everyone!

[Germany]

Yeah, hope everyone has fun!

I'm pretty excited about this game. I rarely, if ever, use the global tab, so this will be a nice change of pace for me.

That's fear talking, PJ. Fear of the England-France juggernaut.

Greetings from the mighty Russian Czar (insert unpronounceable russian name here)
I hope we may all be able to have peace between our peace-loving countries.
