Should I expect a return of the Italians to TYR? Looks like you can

What's up with a new French Fleet? Perhaps his strategy is now to
leave himself wide open to me so that he can fight England better? Or
is he worried about you.
Sorry to be asking so many questions while providing little information
of my own. I just seem to have more questions than answers at the

I guess we just don't understand how to play Diplomacy. I never gave this
build a chance.
Actually, after a week of silence, I got an e-mail from Italy yesterday.
He, too, predicted the fleet build, and said to expect Por s Mar->Spa.
According to Italy, France's strategy is to discourage me by seeming to
hand all the opportunities to you. Apparently, I am supposed to become
frustrated and change sides.
Italy also wanted Austria to eliminate his fleet, and I thought Austria
would certainly do that. By keeping the fleet, Austria prevents Italy from
moving Ionian to the west.
More good news. With Paris unoccupied, I can force Channel into Picardy
and Nth into the Channel without your help. So I won't have to beg. 8-)
More, after I get a good look at the position.

Can we discuss my moving back to Tyrolia? I would very much like to see
Austria eliminated as fast as possible as he carries (and rightfully so) a
vendetta against me. An army in Tyrolia would very much aid in that goal.
The sooner Austria is eliminated, the sooner I can concentrate fully on
France and Turkish growth.
I understand Tyrolia borders your home center and you are understandably
concerned when a unit moves there. I hope my previous tenure in Tyrolia
will ease any tension between us. We have a potentially great opportunity
to work with each other in the very near future when a simultaneous move
east and west would put Tyrolia into Piedmont.
I am very interested in your opinion on the move Ven-Tyr.
Both you, I, and Turkey are now at 6 centers. I would like to see us all
reach 7 if possible this year. STP to Germany, SEV to Turkey, and 1 of
VIE/BUD to Italy seems more than feasible. What are your thoughts?

He has told me on more than one occassion that his primary goal is to defend
Iberia from English conquest even if that means relinquishing centers to
either you or me. I do not believe he is worried about me as he requested
my move to the Western Med. Wanting to move west myself, I was more than
happy to oblige. :)

Not a problem. I seem to have more answers than questions.
Actually, I do have one question. Ivy has made mention that, despite your
presence in Burgundy, you have no claim on French centers. I find this hard
to believe but was wondering what your take on the subject was?

Roberto
Message from England to Germany
Dear Fredd,
Here is what I learned from Italy, whose honesty in this matter is almost
certain.
(1) His western fleet will be at the disposal of France
(2) He is supposed to get Budapest while Turkey picks up Sevastopol
>From the former, I expect an immediate assault on the Mid-Atlantic.
>From the latter, I think that TI will hold together this year and perhaps a
little longer. They will be at 7-7 after this year. One can speculate
that Turkey and Italy then intend to split Moscow and Vienna and go to 8-8.
After that, my crystal ball (bought second hand from the estate of Neville
Chamberlain) is cloudy. Surely, Turkey has to hit Italy eventually.
*******
I understand the importance of my not knowing your moves this turn. That
has been made clear. But I do want you to know my moves. Unless you
instruct otherwise, I think I need to do the following:
Bel supp Eng->Pic
Nth->Eng
Mao->Bre
Nao-Mao
This should get me in Picardy and clear the North Atlantic, even with no
support from you. Unfortunately, I think I will lose Mao.
******
My comments on StP. Take it immediately with Bot supp Liv->StP. This
seems to be the right thing to do, even if you suspect my motives. Russia
knows that StP is doomed and he might get cute with his fleet. If he moves
to Finland, then you cannot protect Sweden and take StP at the same time.
Also, by taking StP with Livonia, Bot can stay behind and keep an eye on
Sweden in case that horrible Englishman proves trecherous.
******
OK. Here is where I lay out my "dream moves" -- moves that would be made by
a well-oiled, trusting partnership. Hey, this is Diplomacy, so I can
always suggest! 8-) I do not necessarily expect a reply on this.
Nao s Mao
Eng->Bre [these two moves save the Mao & cut support for Pic]
Bel->Pic
Nth->Bel [gets Nth out of your hair, provided:
Bur s Bel->Pic [There's the rub!!]
I don't know what you would otherwise do with Burgundy, but there is so
much to gain here for so little risk. With these moves, we can be 7-6 in
the fall. I am not so sure that we can afford to wait a year. Won't
France be in the Mid-Atlantic by then? If you want to play it safe and
wait a year, you might be better off by throwing in with France and taking
me out. Perhaps am missing something.
********
Anyway, as of now, my moves are as mentioned above. Not the dream moves,
but the moves first mentioned that get me out of Nth without help from
Burgundy.
Most cordially,
Ivy

I was thinking along the same lines. (after I saw the build)
Although I doubt if it's to frustrate you. He's trying to get you to
attack me, by getting you to believe that I have the opportunity to grow
much faster than you do. This is actually true. The error of this
strategy will be revealed with my move. Although now that Vienna is
open I might have to rething one of the moves that I phased in.
Fredd
Message from Germany to England
If Italy gets BUD and Turkey gets SEV, who gets VIE? I think it's more
likely that Turkey will get BUD and SEV. Giving Turkey two builds next
time. That's when he might try to make nice with me and attack ITaly.
I'm afraid that I still can't help you from BUR. I want to be a man of
my word. I said that I'd have to make covering moves if you went to
NTH. So now I'd better make them or the value of my word is lessened.
PLus I don't want to give you the idea that I'll leave myself open to a
stab, down the road.
Fredd
Message from Germany to Italy
Roberto:
My instincts tell me that I should protest you entering TYR again. My
brain says that there's little that I can do about it, as you can
support yourself in. So I suspect that even if I say don't go, I'll
see an Italian army in Tyr in the spring.
So go for it. However, as before, I really want to see it move out
again. Can we agree that the visit will be for only one turn? After
all Vienna is yours. Unless I work with Austria to keep you out. I have
no plans to do that, currently.
Ok that was the diplomatic thing to say. Closer to the truth is that
it's my belief that you will be under attack from your eastern neighbor
soon enough. Like I said many moons ago, I can forsee an IG alliance in
the midgame being quite productive.
It's true that I have no designs on French centers.

Fredd,
> Although now that Vienna is open I might have to rething one of the moves

Perhaps you may want to consider some additional information. Russia, who
is trying very hard to get me to attack you, has revealed that he is
committed to the destruction of the Austrian army at Sevastopol this
spring. I think this is reliable information. If so, it implies the
following moves.
War->Mos
Gal->Ukr
These in conjunction with Bla s Rum->Sev, Ser->Bud, and Bul->Rum.
Makes perfectly good sense. Russia hates Austria. Also, the War->Mos move
does give Russia a 50-50 chance up north. If he is in Moscow and Finland
(yes, he intends to go there) after the spring, and you are in Bot & StP,
it becomes a guessing game.
Anyway, all of this suggests to me that you consider Pru->War & Boh->Sil
this spring. Then you pick up at least one and have a 50-50 shot at two
centers.
> I want to be a man of my word.
Fair enough. Your word also includes a committment to a balanced alliance.
My word too. Does that mean that you will give me Holland on loan if you
gain one or two units and a French center is denied to me?
Your friend and ally,
Ivy
p.s. Russia makes a grave threat if I refuse to agree to attack you. He
threatens to tell you about the dangers of my fleet in the North Sea. I
begged him not to do this, because you have not noticed it yet. 8-)
Message from Russia to Germany
Fredd,
Are you sure you can afford to attack StP
with an English Fleet sitting in Nth? You could
easily find yourself disbanding one as England
builds two, rather than building yourself.

You are quite correct in pointing out the dangers of the English

Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to leave my back side wide open to a
stab. I've noticed that England has yet to take a center from
France. I would suspect that they can patch up their difference if they
want to. That is until England actually grabs a center.

Message from France to all
Spring 1904 Symposium on Philosophy, Europe and
Everything.
- by Prince Xavier Boar
[This is Stuart Scott here. Surprisingly I did not lose
my job. I think that the brothers are too busy trying to
defend France to worry about me. They definitely could
use a better middle linebacker, that guy in Burgundy
folded like a freshly dried bath towel. Maybe they
should try to trade for Ray Lewis.]
[Let's role the clip on the uncensored parts of Prince
Boar's speech.]
Countrymen, life in France remains hard. The English and
the Germans continue to press our borders. With horror
we witnessed the deaths of some brave lads in Burgundy.
The Dauphin tells me that their sacrifice was necessary
and will not go in vain, but it was a tragedy
nonetheless. The Dauphin and I will continue to do
everything we can to turn back the English fleets and
slow down, if we can, the German armies.
We do welcome the arrival of the Italian fleet. Its
presence may allow us to hold out for as long as
possible.
[Was the disaster in Burgundy really a sacrifice for that
new fleet or are they just trying to cover up their
blunder? He mentioned some private stuff to give the
French people hope. Hope that he will stop talking that
is! Here is his customary pedantic philosophy portion.
Hey, alliteration. I have to find a way to use that one
on SportsCenter. Boomer will be so jealous.]
Philosophy
Today's lecture is on the topic of doubt and will feature
a great French philosopher, Rene Descartes. Descartes is
best know for his classic conclusion: Cogito ergo sum, or
in French: Je pense donc je suis. For the benefit of our
English speaking brethren: I think, therefore I exist.
The Dauphin likes to modify this philosophy to: I fight
therefore I exist. But the important part of this
philosophy is that Descartes arrived at it from a
foundation of doubt.
Descartes sought a method for seeing the truth of things
based on reason alone. He suspended belief in everything
he learned from childhood, doubted everything, as a
deliberate strategy toward certainty. My failure to
France was not starting for this same location. I should
have doubted the existence of an English alliance until
there was proof to support it. I put France at risk by
being blinded by faith without certainty. But no more.
The Dauphin and I pledge to continue to defend France as
if she will continue to be invaded by England and German.
No matter what the words we are hearing, we shall wait
for proof.
I am sure that many of you have noticed the Italian fleet
off our borders and recall my earlier words welcoming
them. You must be thinking, but you have not proof of
their intentions. I admit it is true. Only can a real
necessity or benefit allow us to risk trust without
proof. Therefore we must trust the Italian intentions.
[I think therefore I am, an interesting philosophy. I
know many a lineman who doesn't really think. I wonder
if they exist? If a Quarterbacks simply refuse to
believe in the existence of that 300 pound lineman, would
the bull pass right through him? Of course if he is
wrong, he will have plenty of time in a hospital bed to
ponder his philosophies.]
[Well, that is all folks. Until next year, if there is a
next year for France. I wish the Dauphin good luck. I
like coming to France. Where else do the women
continually kiss you on the cheeks whenever you walk into
the room?
Really, where else do they do that? I want to know. I
have some vacation time coming and need to plan a trip
somewhere!

True, but given the disband of A Bur, and build
of F Mar, it seems clear that France will defend
strongly against England, and as a result, you are
more likely to gain two builds than England is to
gain one. Can England afford to let that happen?
I don't think so. What recourse does he have?
Nth-Den, Bel-Hol, MAO-Eng seems the most obvious,
and most effective.

The employment crisis in Sevastopol, that was brought
about by the decommisioning of the Southern Fleet,
has been exacerbated by the garrisoning of the

the most radical memebers of the Union movement are

I want to make sure we agree on the definition of "one turn". Does that
mean moving in this spring and then out again this fall? Or, moving in this
spring and then out again next spring after using it to take Vienna from the
Huns?
Either way is actually fine by me. I just want to make sure there are no
misunderstandings. I suppose it's possible, depending on the actions of
BUD/GAL (and BOH), that I may still be in TYR after the fall even though I
tried to exit. I hope you wouldn't hold that against me.
btw, if I happen to get lucky enough to get another build this year, it will
most definitely be a fleet. I don't see an army build for Italy again
without your prior approval.

Message [from Turkey] to all
DATELINE: CONSTANTINOPLE
The official Turkish news agency announced today
that Sultan Suleiman, the Turkish ceremonial head
of state, is dead. The circumstances surrounding
the Sultan's death were not immediately made public.
Several witnesses to the elaborate state funeral
claim that the corpse on display, while bearing a
resemblance to the Sultan, was not actually that of
Suleiman himself.
The surprise announcement comes at a time when
the Turkish countryside is being ravaged by civil
war, and amidst growing concern about the mental
stability of Ali Baba, who continues to hold power
under the declaration of martial law following
last year's riots. Baba has been seen in public
muttering about how his "voices" will guide his
hand in military affairs, and several top generals
within the Turkish armed forces have either been
placed under house arrest or have fled the country.
Baba's personal security forces continue to
control the capital city, despite growing public
opinion against him. Though most Turks have been
hard-hit by rampant inflation as a result of the
war, Baba has repeatedly imposed harsh new taxes
to fund his military machine. The plight of the
Turkish peasants, many of whom are starving, stands
in sharp contrast to the lavish parties that have
frequently been held for top Italian officials.
Meanwhile, accusations of rampant corruption
within Baba's government are widespread. Many of
Baba's relatives and political supporters have been
installed in Turkey's recently-nationalized ship-
building industry, and are reportedly receiving
lucrative paychecks despite the fact that Turkish
shipyards have been mothballed for years.
Disturbing reports have also reached the city
that rival warlords have begun fighting openly
throughout the Turkish countryside. In one such
outbreak in Ankara, Baba's forces moved in to
observe but did nothing to resolve the conflict.
As the warring factions fought each other to a
standstill, it appeared that Baba was content to
let both sides demolish each other. Once the
bloodshed had ended, soldiers from both sides were
quickly conscripted into a new regular army unit.
Although Baba claims that the new force will be
used to help "liberate" southern Russia from its
Austrian occupation forces, outside observers have
noted that the commanders, chosen personally by
Baba, are generally believed to be responsible for
most of the pillaging, looting and other atrocities
committed during the Ankara conflict. In addition,
sources in Vienna now claim that European leaders
are closer than ever to charging Baba himself with
crimes against humanity.

Here is what I expect France to do. Pic->Par & Bre s Por->Mao. The latter

Fair enough.

I know why England moved to the North Sea. No explanation necessary.

Message from France to all
My link to my e-mail is down.
I am sneaking this message out a different way.
I have not seen any mail since I sent my last broadcast
I hope it will be fixed this afternoon.
Otherwise I will be out of touch until
I get home tonight.

Message from France to all
OK, I got connected to my e-mail. I am sending in orders
with this message. Sorry for the delay.
Can someone give the idiot's guide explanation for this:
>04:30 +0000 Thursday is 11:30 pm Wednesday Eastern time.
>Perhaps you should update your registration and set your
>timezone.
Do you mean the registration with the judge? Or is there
something on my computer that I need to do.
I have never noticed this difference before. It might be
something between home and work.
Thanks,
France
