Message from Russia to all
I'd like to add my best wishes to those that others have sent around.

P.S. Sorry this is coming so late, but it was a busy day. I had to organize
all the animal entrails, clean out the sacrificial pit, get my horns buffed
-- it was just non-stop crazy.

I had planned on offering you DEN. In time I can push you further north. I
would like to see Erik put you in MUN, in fact, I recommended he offer it to
you early last season, and shortly afterward I asked Andy if *he* would
support you into MUN. I do not want to see you so weak.

Urk. But what is in it for you, other than elimination.

Perhaps. There is tension between RT, and if IT relations continue to
improve there will be a problem for Russia in the south.

Yes, but I was surprised (a) Eric kept the fleet, and (b) Jason captured
with an army. Interesting, interesting.

Yes, I was thinking about ways to do this. Encouragement from you would be
good for both of us.

I do not think it is too late but I will have to get a clean disengagement
from France. Eric is a real charmer and I think the incorrect MAO - IRI and
my incorrect overreaction were unduly influenced.
I will offer you support to KIE; support to DEN. Why would you choose to be
eliminated, when you can play on? For some people, one game more or less
might be a major burden, but I suspect that is not the case for you. . .

Yes. I waited until day six or seven, so I can understand why you think I
am better qualified. I am working on it.
Merry Christmas.

Hi Ben,
You said: I am working on it.
Erik said: >>Except for Ben, who's clearly a slanderous,
treacherous toad, what with his accusations of Satanism and all.>>
LOL, look like you have a lot of talking to do. Try getting a 3 way press
going otherwise.

Ok, first of all, if I am correct that Eric is indeed a worshipper of the
Dark Lord, it is not slander.
Second of all, I'm working on it.
Third of all, I am not in a good position to press an attack against Erik,
and *you* know it, and for me to be overrun by Russia with his hatchet over
your neck is not exactly good for you.
So for now, let him know that I am sincerely interested in withdrawing to
deal with Russia, which is true.
I will start a group press soon, I suppose. . . I'd been thinking I'd like
to see the Russian build, first; hope springs eternal.

Tony,
I thought I sent you a check in note a few days ago but I'm not sure. Story
is that I'm still very interested in seeing FRG cooperation, but I haven't
heard much from Erik. Just one note. I sugggested trying to take Bel with
your support, but he's been pretty silent since then.
