I know I never saw
A sword speak of turds.
But how long til we draw?
'Cuz I'm almost out of words.

[Russia]

England, I see you finalized,
Which is fine for your region.
I just hope you take Norway
With the fleet in Norwegian.

[Germany]
It is now the time
To finalize our orders
And begin again

[Russia]

To my friend, the Kaiser,
Our pink neighbor has moved his feet.
His army sits in Norway,
A breath away from St. Pete.

Would you be willing to act,
If he continues as I fear?
Would you march through London,
and turn his ale into bier?

And to our pink English lad,
An agreement was what we had.
I'm afraid your units and long silence
Echoes strongly of war and wrong violence.

I'm not a chump.
So here's a bump.

depth charge

march,
to the top

[TURKEY]

Great Warrior Bards and Poet-kings
I shan't antagonize

But let us put our orders in
It's time to finalize

[Austria]
Italy stabs into vienna, a lucky guess
I made no invitation: he's not my guest.
he can leave now: if so not war
or we can fight forever and inevitably draw.

[Germany] - to all of us:)

The Romans strike the first real blow
Their phalanx marches on.
As blood makes red, the fallen snow
While spring has yet to dawn.

We wait upon the new year's builds
To see what will arise.
When armies go where generals will
And artillery fills the skies.

Who will wage war 'fore summer's here?
What battles will be fought?
How will we act when death is near?
When the fire gets real hot.

Will you go forth when allies call,
And risk your own homes' health?
And watch while foes before you fall
And divvy up the wealth.

Or will you hunker down instead
And keep a low profile
With former allies nearly dead
You'll live, but for a while

So gather up your strength and charge
Straightforward to the fray.
The gains from victory are large
No cowardice today.

War is already on us, like it or not
We must plunge ahead, with no second thought

But an interesting point, which Russia has stated
The East has grown strife, the West fat and sated

Or do I speak to soon? Is this just pointless chatter?
To my allies I turn for advice on the matter

[Germany]

What so you know, oh talking Sword?
Where will you build and why?
Will you help avert the war
That started by your side?

Or will you look toward yonder shore
At British/German homes?
Will you seek to grow some more
At our expense or Rome's?

[Germany] - correction
*What say you", not "what so you"
I think I made a boo-boo.
So even while I'm a fixin'
My rhymin' I'm a mixin'

Bump.

Sorry. No rhymes. I'm drunk. :-)

[England]

I had to finish all my moves,
At the nearby free library.
And unless my CPU improves,
My verse…extemporary.

I openly state what I intend,
With blade and bandoliers.
To notify which way I send
The Royal Fusiliers.

Although I do not like the Turks,
Who stuff and smoke their hookahs.
Their friendship does have many perks.
So, I sail toward the Babushkas!

Can't lose this thread
Full steam ahead
So other posts I'll trump
By giving this a bump.

To the defenseless, beleaguered Turks,
Rest assured I have plans in the works,
The cavalry’s coming
You’ll soon hear our drumming
Italian friendship sure has it’s perks.

For now just try and hold the line.
We’ll be coming, all in due time.
Good luck with your moves
Hope your position improves
Try and crush that Austrio-Russian Slime!

To the nations of the North and West
Who will support you with zest?
There’s been so little talk.
Who will walk the walk?
They might send you into cardiopulmonary arrest.

I’m sorry about that last line,
My dictionary said it’d be fine.
I try to use meter
And not be a cheater
But, somehow, I just couldn’t decline.

To the Austrian Archduke, we owe,
An apology for our dishonest show.
It’s only our intention
To try to stop some tension
Over who gets the Turkish Plateau.

To the French, I hope that thee
Sees merit in peace with Italy
I’m pleased with your builds,
They were quite skilled.
And adieu and long live Great Italy!

[Austria]
War with Italy is anigh
the battleline's together with the battle-cry
My choice has been robbed by this show
westwards my troops will go

Turkey will not face me now
so I suggest a peace
Italy has made builds against us both
against him we can aim for growth

Russia has lost black to the turk
to get it back will take some work.
If it wasn't for Italy I would be there to aid
but I cannot start even the smallest raid

To Germany and France I ask for a western front
to kick Italy back to being a runt
Tyrolia is vulnerable to germany as to I
and Italy will go there no matter why.

Italy: Back off now, the pope
needs friendly neighbours
or he gets tied up in rope

when all that is rightfully mine
is red again
you will be atoned for your crime

[Russia]

Five countries stare at Italy,
Some laugh and others grin,
To stab for gains so small and piddly.
In red/green fight, neither can win.

[Turkey]

(to Russia)
My Italian brother made no ill-designed stab
There was no truce in place; just a center to grab

He did hamstring his foe at the start of the game
I remember to me you were trying the same!

But why bicker and argue about who killed who?
Perhaps an agreement between him, me and you

To keep fighting like this I would simply detest
And better prizes await us just a mite further west

(to Italy)
Thank you, my friend, let me know what to do
For I've just commissioned a ship and her crew

I could support you to greece, but he is protected
And an attack on Vienna is strongly suspected

Perhaps the Agean, or the Adriatic
Your presence there would make me ecstatic

Our plans we must make, and fashion our tactic
To blunder this move would be anticlimactic

(to Germany)
Proposed I to Russia a plan for alliance
But I fear the Czar will remain in defiance

If so, don't hold back, please enlist in our cause!
And help merry England; she has sharpened her claws

A center or two will for sure fall your way
For nations in conflict make such easy prey

[Italy] (Sorry, I forgot this last time)

My Turkish friend I don't have any need
For your troops so to you I plead
Don't broadcast our plans
Through all of the lands,
So that soon Austria may be freed.

[France]

My greatest apologies to all friends
For my absence I hope to make amends

By writing a long
(And very nice) song
That will illustrate why friends of mine
Can never do wrong


Germany Germany
Don't risk an infirmary!
Your lack of a fleet
Suggests

And England! Oh England!
I must apologize first
With nothing heard from you I feared the worst

The build in Brest gave me peace of mind
Some flexibility
And for agressive acts
No axe to grind

So keep the peace
My merry neighbour
And I shall give you...
Fleece?

My Italy, My Italy
I love you alot
Blatant agression, it worries me
But about Austria I care not alot [sorry OMG]

All I ask and all I need
Is a contiuation of our DMZ
For you to heed



Now thank you men
For this opportunity to think
And now I shall go
And my away with my woes drink
:)

Sorry to the German, my missive was incomplete
I believe I was saying something about not having a fleet?


Oh yes Lan, I was saying
I hope on my centres you don't plan on preying

Because if you and I respect our border
Our power will match that of Mordor

:)

(So don't be a lout
You lovable Kraut)

[Russia]

To the Sultan: I fear your boat.
And you probably feel the same.
A one-on-one war helps neither,
As we'll both lose the game.
So I offer you a truce,
As England has become a pain.
I'll not move offensively,
And I hope you'll do the same.

So please start moving west,
You already have extra fleets.
Sail forth and prosper,
And suffer no cheats.
But if Austria you attack,
I do not wish to offend,
But I may use my tanks,
And help him defend.

With the French we will always be friends.
Provided you never intend
To invade our border.
We'll use our mortars
To protect Turkey from Austria instead.

We'll remind you that never did we,
Seek a war of aggression with any
Our goal: To save Turkey
From those more quirky,
With the armed forces of Great Italy!

bump

[Germany]

With only an hour left up on the clock
No one has finalized orders
So I will be moving, if only to block
Armies from crossing my borders

But I would like to say to my neighborhood friends
The Brits and the Russians I say
That we may be allies 'til the bitter end
Or at least for a while anyway.


I'd like to hear

[Germany]

To France, I would like to hear
Are things as they would appear
A war in western lands perhaps
'Tween you and the the friendly English chaps.

I'm trying to stay neutral now
For to neither I've sent a solemn vow
To help nor hinder their intent
I'll wait to see what harm is meant.

[Germany]

England and France, would you perchance
request some help from me
Don't look askance, but at first glance
A partner I could be

Not both, but one, my help could turn
this battle on it's head
When all is done, it could be fun
lest one of us is dead.
