France: Army Belgium can retreat to Picardy
Message from Italy to France
Erik...
Give me some credit.
Whats with the move to Piedmont. You have England attacking you, and the
bloody Russian running rampant with Turkey's help and you want to come and
fight me....
Why?
Message from Russia to France
Erik,
Damn, I thought you would use Bur to support Bel just in case, but I guess
I should have said something. As you can see, I did what I could to put
pressure on Ben, but with his taking of both Bel and Hol I'm afraid it
might not be enough. And with Jason letting Andy keep Italy -- I really
don't understand it.
Well, how do you want to proceed? I think we might want to try to let Tony
take Hol, because at least it hurts Ben. From there he can help you into
Bel. I don't know if he's up for this, but it's a possibility.
Let me know what you think, and happy holidays.
--- Eric
Message from Germany to France
Why attack MUN and not defend BEL? I said I couldnt afford to support you
into MUN.
I realised that BEL could be cut from the ENG and that HEL/NTH were enough
to take HOL even with my support. Thats why attacking KIE was the best way
to ensure Ben lost KIE. He would now be one down had you supported BEL. As
you were attacking MUN thus cutting Russia's support of BER - KIE I had no
choice but to support BER - KIE.
Ben is now offering peace, Eric is asking that you and I go for BEL. We use
BUR/RUH to support PIC - BEL.
Which way do you want to go. Let me know.
Message from England to France
Erik -
Well, I am one stupid Englishman. Russia worked on me pretty well last
phase, and I was completely convinced you were going to attack me. . .
Clearly I was more manipulated *this* phase than even you were when you went
to IRI - we are being played for fools.
Still, it is good that I ended up in HOL and BEL, as now I am not forced
into a painful removal, and I do not think either of us - already having
been badly manipulated by Eric - wants to let him solo.
We have a couple of ways to set up our defense, and if necessary I think we
can have German assistance. I would urge you to recapture MAO. It's no use
to me and I don't want to be there. I want to be in NAO, and I can get
there either by (a) moving or (b) retreating - I get there either way. If I
were to take POR I would be plonked out in the fall anyway. Tell me what
you want & I will accommodate.
I no longer threaten BRE, and ENG is vacant, so I hope you will agree,
though I took HOL and BEL, I'm not a threat anymore to you.
We've both been taken advantage of by Russia. You are angry at me, of
course, for not being strong enough to resist temptation. I understand.
But I hope you will go forward with me, in order that we can survive.
Ben
p.s. Retreat the army - do not disband it - we will need it to deal with
the German centers. And I say this, absolutely aware that you could use it
to hurt me. But there is a higher cause right now, and that is, that we
play well, and not embarass ourselves any further in front of the gallery.
Message from England to all
Happy holidays to all, except for Eric, who is evil and worships Satan.

Vrolijk Kerst en een Gelukkig Nieuw Jaar............. <=== Written in
Satanik so that Eric can understand
Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you and your families, players and
spectators and not to forget the Mighty GM Greg
Message from France to England
Got your message.
Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me.
I don't see how I could possibly trust you to work with me at this point
with out some sort of extraordinary overture on your part. As such, it
seems unlikely that I could do anything except use everything in my power
to defend against you. I mean, really, why should I work with you? You've
proven that you carry grudges an inordinate amount of time, you're easily
manipulated by other nations, you're willing to ignore a serious solo
threat for your own personal gain, and you are not able to resist grabbing
my centers no matter what the long-term cost. Hey, I know I placed a fleet
in Iri for a little opportunistic bloodletting, but when I saw that it was
a bad move in the long-term, I pulled way back. I do not believe you are
capable of doing the same. You are clearly going to be a threat to me for
as long as I remain in the game.
Because of you, I've lost two centers, lost any chance of peace with the
Italian and I look like a fool in front of all the other powers. Frankly,
at this point, I think Eric pretty much deserves the solo, and I'm still
angry enough to do what I can to hand it to him -- my chances of even
drawing are gone, thanks to your moves. Maybe I'll change my mind in the
next few days.
Vacate Bel and/or Hol, and I might change my mind. That's about the only
thing I can think of at this point.
I'll still listen to your reasoning, though, so feel free to try to
convince me otherwise.

Message from France to all
Happy holidays to all. Except for Ben, who's clearly a slanderous,
treacherous toad, what with his accusations of Satanism and all.
And for the commentators, I swear I will be more enlightening in the new
year.
Erik
Message from France to England
Since we clearly have much discussion, I should tell you that I will be
retreating to Pic. That doesn't necessarily mean I'll keep it there (I
have a disband coming), but since you're pretty high on my sh*tlist right
now, I'd like to keep my options open. Just thought I'd warn you ahead of
time.
Enjoy the lump of coal I've had special delivered to your stocking ;).
