Spring 1901 Movement:

The orders for Spring 1901 were as follows:

Austria: Army Budapest -> Serbia
Austria: Fleet Trieste -> Albania
Austria: Army Vienna HOLD

England: Fleet Edinburgh -> North Sea
England: Army Liverpool -> Wales
England: Fleet London -> English Channel (*bounce*)

France: Fleet Brest -> English Channel (*bounce*)
France: Army Marseilles -> Spain
France: Army Paris -> Picardy

Germany: Army Berlin -> Kiel

It is now Fall 1901:

Newscasts:

England:

manamanah doot doo do do do

France:

Yes, it is Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals, it is Europe, it is the whole of Europe, that will decide the fate of the world.

Turkey:

YOU'VE CROSSED ME FOR THE LAST TIME crabnebula!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PREPARE TO D!E

Russia:

A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron.

The other three remaining powers were too lazy to submit any newscasts or did not think they were necessary. It's their loss.

This is turning out to be quite an explosive game so far. Even though it is only 1901, plenty of territorial disputes have already broken out!

Anyway, it is now Fall 1901. Orders (and newscasts if desired) will be due Tuesday, October 20th at 10:00 PM Central Time (About 48 hours), though like now I will post the update earlier if all orders are sent in before then.

 

[askaninjask]

[Kannon]

[Mekkah]

Apologies for the lack of a newscast, someone bombed all my media centers.

 

[Outlaw]

hey outlaw lets both stay out of ENG

It was your idea first you limey scoundrel!

 

[Earthworm]

what a scoundrel you are earthworm, we appear to be in a similar situation to askaninjask and outlaw!

I saw your betrayal coming from several miles away (how big is the black sea?) so I had to do something about it!

[crabnebula]

Requested to be subbed out. Sorry guys! Thanks to Bass for having me in the game, its been fun!

 

[Outlaw]

Why cn? DX

 

[crabnebula]

Too busy in RL, hectic schedule etc. Diplomacy drains away too much time sadly :(

 

[Kannon]

I am going to take this moment to urge CN's replacement to try to get into contact with me asap

 

[Bass]

imperfectluck has been subbed in for CN. Everyone else, do not assume that he knows nothing, as CN was smart enough to send him some notes about the current state of the game to get him started!

Deadline remains unchanged.

It'll make your keyboard all sticky

He'll set your clocks back an hour and start clogging the shower

And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull

And tell you knock-knock jokes while you're trying to sleep
Look out!
And make you physically attracted to sheep
Look out!
Steal your identity and your credit card
Look out!
Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
Look out!
Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place
That's right he's a
