Nice job.

Message from England to France, Italy, and Russia
I have been very harsh in my criticism of Russia, almost always siding with
Italy in the disputes. Not this time.
England to Italy: Can you live with: Galicia supp Vienna
Italy to England: Yes.
Russia to England: I would be surprised indeed, if he doesn't order Vie S
Gal-Bud, or Gal-War.
England to Russia: Yeah. I can't rule it out, but I don't think he will do
it. He has not lied to me that I can recall.
Italy: Army Vienna SUPPORT Army Galicia -> Budapest.
Roger is better than the rest of us, but no one should have been able to
solo from the position he has held recently.

>Roger is better than the rest of us,
Pah! (I invented that word, but it expresses my
feelings precisely :-)
I emphatically disagree that I am better than any of you.
Luck and circumstances have me where I am.
>but no one should have been able to
>solo from the position he has held recently.
I will point out that I have not soloed!
*and*
Finally someone admits that my position is not a strong
solo position!

Message from Italy to England
I won't argue with you that my move was incorrect. In hindsight, my best
move was vie supp gal-boh. However, in my albeit brief talks with France, I
felt there was a reasonable chance that Budapest would be a beleaguered
garrison. Neither of our orders prevented pie-tyr-boh which is one of many
reasons France's solo chances has increased. Like a wise man once said,
perspective is a wonderful thing.

This was #2. #1 involved spain/south coast.
The real reason France is in the position he is in is because I no longer
have the energy to sort fact from fiction from Nick's words. I tried for 13
and half game years and I just can't do it anymore. When I reach that point
when I just want to grab something by the neck and not let go, the game just
doesn't mean that much anymore.

Nick and I share the blame in this. Last year I warned him about the
Tyrolia/Bohemia/Silesia path and wanted to move
Berlin->Silesia->Bohemia. Nick insisted "no," and I gave in to him.
>He has not lied to me that I can recall.

Two lies in 14 Diplomacy years is a model of honesty.

Verbatim from my wife's office wall:
ANTI-STRESS EXERCISE
1. Picture yourself near a stream.
2. Birds are chirping in the crisp, cool mountain air.
3. Nothing can bother you here. No one knows this secret place.
4. You are in total seclusion from that place called "the world". The
soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
5. The water is clear.
6. You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding
under water.

LOL! You made my day. Thanks.

Message from Master to Italy
Ken,
Just let me know when you'd like that extension to start. I'll put
it at two months and you just let me know when you're ready to go
again, then we'll move the deadline back in.

Okay. When I leave today from work in about three hours, that'll pretty
much be it. I'm due at the hospital at noon tomorrow and then it's just a
matter of what the doc finds.
I'd suggest setting the deadline after the adjustments.
Thanks,
Ken
Message from France to Italy
Roberto:
Although I was not personally ecstatic about your moves,
I do not see why Ivy and Nick can be so upset. You were
doing what you had to do in order to survive. They each
have done no different (Nick to you and Ivy to Nick).
I would have liked to seen you in Warsaw and not Berlin.
But I do not think you evil because you positioned
yourself where you felt you needed to be.
--King Roger XIII
PS: Do watch your back. With Ivy upset with you, Nick
may be able to talk him into cutting you out. Ivy may
prefer you to Nick, but he would much prefer only one of
you to having you both around making life difficult.
