Game Notes:

1) Note John Power's new postal address and Bob Acheson's new E-Mail address.

2) No one likes the new map. I am going to try to get Harold Reynolds to fix the last one I was using. Even if he doesn't, that is the one I am going to use.

Press:

(NETHERLANDS-SPAIN): None taken unfortunately the maneuver has put me out of the game plus I expected to lose it and since I don't know the map all that well it cost me.

(OTTO-SPAIN): Dear Sir; I should like to apply for a lackey or minion position with your organization; am willing to work for opportunity of vengeance on my betrayer!!!

(SEAN-PAUL): Are you saying I was allied with China and Ottoman? My removals were based on places I didn't feel I could hold and I felt I needed to do something in Africa it looked like I was about to lose Uga which I didn't count on, otherwise I should have allied with Ottoman/China/Austria from the get go.

(NETHERLANDS-AUSTRIA): Well, you're probably wanting to do this anyway, so hey I'll offer it. I tried contacting you by e-mail and all attempts have failed they never seem to go through so the best I can do right now is hold off England and Russia while you go for Sam and Mel otherwise England and/or Russia is going to take them I'll do my best to hold Mel, but either way you should take Sam I'm not even going to defend it nor can I defend it my best bet is holding off Russia and England.

(NETHERLANDS-THE BOARD): I definitely would have better off figuring out how to continue the original Netherlands strategy I may or not be better off for that.

(PARIS): Have the French been out to lunch lately? Here' why: Steen Raymond Alme arrived on the 25th of August at 2:31 AM. He weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces. He is our first child (and my folk's first grandchild). Looks like he got the red hair coming from his mother and all of his paternal uncles, but he will have to settle for my weak chin. Steen is a scandinavian-flavored name common in my family; it is a variation on the Norwegian/Swedish/Danish/etc. words for `stone'. Considering the difficulty of his birth, and the way he has bounced back, it is apt.

(FRANCE-SPAIN): The build in QUE is not hostile, I'm just feeling a bit thin out there.

(NETHERLANDS-BOARD): Are we winning, are we winning, are we winning?

(NETHERLANDS OFFICIALS-THEIR PEOPLE): NO!
