Where'd all our posts go
I do not know
What I should now do
or who's allied with who.

[Austria]
On my screen the thread is split into pages.
Changes to the website get Kestas his wages.

Pour les Italianos;


Oh my... poor guy
Must we fight?
Cus I think you're you're going to cry...

Pour Allemagne;

Yo Germans! we are rockin!
Though
Perhaps we should do more talkin?

Pour les Anglais

Oui revoir
Mon petit soir...

[Austria]
Russia, why the move to Gal?
If it's on purpose, I'm really quite apalled
If its mistake, please cry out now
So our alliance doesn't throw in the towel.

[England]
If more of us valued food and cheer and song,
above supply centers and hoarded gold,
it would be a merrier world.
But sad or merry, I must leave it now.
Farewell.......

(All, I really enjoyed the game. If there is ever another like it I won't play, as I am out of poems, but I will follow along in the forum. Good Luck.)

[Germany]

France I must agree
with you I'd work w/ glee
To wit, my path perchance be made
if Austria beckons, needing aid.

[Germany] @ England

You were a valued friend and foe
and fought both well and true
Your heartfelt words I hope you know
were inspirational too.

Like Arthur and his fabled nights
'tis just a matter of time
when you will win a thousand fights
while Camelot again does shine.

[Austria]
Russia remains silent: I believe he is mute
If he doesn't answer quickly the guns will start to shoot
Our alliance was prosperous but now it is waning
inform me soon so that we can carry on gaining.

[Russia]

Extremely busy is what I have been.
This is the final game that I'll play in,
Until my life goes from sixty to ten:
Giving me time to start playing again.

With that said, please don't count my head as dead.
I have no plans to become departed.
Hello! I bellow, and move to yellow.
I promise I'll finish what I started.

[Austria]

Russia thanks for raising your voice
I now have a more attractive choice
Please explain the galician move.
I am worried that it was quite rude.

To the world: Sorry for the lack of press
This is a sin, and I must confess.
I’ve been absent instead
And sentenced to bed
As an illness I try to suppress.

Great Germany, it seems that we
Are at a pivotal crossroads, you see
France can only expand
Into one of our lands
How ‘bout a mutual defense treaty?

Our moves westward were not offensive
But rather preemptive and wholly defensive
France has us worried
His moves seem hurried
And it doesn’t seem like he’s very pensive.

So this to the French I suggest:
A withdrawal would be for the best.
War between us
Is not a must.
Yon army would enjoy Brest.

An ode to the tragedy of Franco-Italian relations;

Now sitting on the Spanish coast
I gaze in sorrow at the host
That sits and moves and sort of attacks
(or would have had I not stopped its tracks)

The fleet nearby I did not threaten
Twas a pre-emptive attack;
(when my fleet was in Breton)
I spied that solemn stack

Thus my trust is low
For that Italian foe
And I do not intend to move yet
Till security is met

But mon dieu to all,
My friends and foes
We French can forgive
Quite despicable lows

Thus we say to the Romans
With a visceral tone,
If you move out of West Med
We shall leave you alone

[Russia]

To Austria:

My move to Gali meant no true offense,
But was rather anticipatory.
With the West idle, we need good defense,
Or the end is self-explanatory.

With our thread lost and the update looming,
I did not know what they were going to do.
I'll roll now, out of Gali, tanks booming,
My word, dear ally, shall always be true.

[Russia]

I saw a thread that said France would be out
For a few days starting in a few more.
I don't mind pausing, for playing without
France would annoy me to my very core.

[Germany]

I think that a pause would be great
so the sword can make his date
for the chance of CD
should not really be
an option for our dear teammate.

Germany, it seems, is stealing my form.
But limericks, you know, should be the norm.
A pause? We agree.
For we can certainly see
We hope that peace, this action may inform.

[Austria]
Russia your honesty rings
of the prosperity the future will bring.
I forgive this slight transgress
I hope this decision is all for the best.

[France]

@Allemagne

Greetings today, my German friend
Our position is great and now it will lend
To making a plan
And hitting a man
Whose words have established a troubling trend

I speak now of course of the ruler of Rus
Who alluded to the fact of 'defending against' you
Not to be jerky
But with him eating Turkey
I think we both know what he's planning to do

Therefore, looking North, I righteously say
That Norway is sure looking fine this great day
So perhaps in this phase
Or in two days
I could aid you towards it, and a guessing game play :)

[Austria]
@France
To jump on the limerick bubble
You appear to be stirring up trouble
Russia is slandered
oh so very grandly
to turn our plans into rubble.

Please don't insult my ally
That would be not so wily
since it might taunt
aggression to flaunt
Turning all my plans to silage.

[Russia]

There's a lot of blue in this ugly dance.
I say we all push west and kill off France.

[Germany]

Russia has moved toward my land
and I don't think it's to lend a hand
his units they threaten
and I'll be a bettin'
that my SCs are part of their plan.

[Russia]

My German friend, I did not mean to offend.
Your tank in Silesia gave me pause.
I still consider you a noble friend,
Pure of thought and ready to help the cause.

My tank in Silesia will pull back
To Warsaw and never attack.

In the future, to be honest and free,
Is Prus and Sile our only DMZ?

{Fr}

A tank in Silesia with no bad intentions?
Those fleets, they have no anti-German pretensions?

I quite hope we don't, have a tall Russian liar
Though concernedly I note, that his pants are on fire...

[Austria]
A Frenchman sidles through the mist
His rapier at hand to slash and swish
His tongue poised with manipulative lies
To break all German-Russian ties.

Kaiser, listen to the words, not the rhyme.
Soon the Sword's pretentions turn to slime.
Russia has been honest since the dawn
Do not let your efforts be shorn.

Last a warning to the Tsar.
Without trust between us we won't go far.
I defend you in the verse
To prevent relations getting terse.

Italy attacks the French direct
To prevent the lies from insurrect
Good luck to the great Italian
Your fortunes continue to wax and wan.

[Germany]

I admit confusion reigns in my head
I don't know which to heed
I don't want to see my countryman dead
By any evil deed

So who speaks true and who speaks right
whose intentions are more pure
I've six units ready for the fight
but 'gainst whom, I am not sure.

[Russia]

To Austria, I have no doubt of you.
I shall always be very true with you.

To the Kaiser, (there are none much wiser),
Please help Italy fight against the blue.
Silesia will make his journey east,
While my units in the north turn to beast,
They fight for rulers who are tried and true.
So, my dead Kaiser, they shall fight for you.

Gah! How do you edit your posts?
I thought they had already fixed it here.
What a horrid typo for me to make:
Please change the 'dead' to my 'dear'.

[France]

My German brothers, I offer my sword
I do pledge to help you, till we own the board
You've heard from the east
The reared head of the best
Just consider position, my honourable lord

The Russians and Austrians, thier motives are clear
While they go butcher Turkey they want nothing to fear
For it is only you, man
Who can spoil their evil plan
Nothing but that could be any more clear

And when the dirty rabble tells you to fight me,
Have they even offered anything to support thee?
Contrast that with France
Who at the barest glance
Has offered Norweigan support with no fee


Against you my dear, I have zero design
Us two fit naturally, as if meant to align
So I urge you to trust
And take a great thrust
The way that is opposite the beautiful Rhine

Page 2 is not where this thread ought to be.
A bump, then, puts it back for us to see.
