DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES
Dearest Bertie,
What rush of blood has caused you to attack my peaceful forces enjoying their Autumn sunshine in
sunny Costa del Spain?
I am upset, surprised and disappointed at your Fall orders.

Upset: Because I have done everything in my power to go along
with your master plan.

Surprised: That you have attacked me in SPA which I was going
to swap with you for WAR shortly anyway.

Disappointed: At the unsophisticated level of your stab and the
lack of faith and vision you have demonstrated to your
erstwhile ally.

We could have been contenders....
Now to the situation as it stands...

I have no intention of fighting a war on two fronts with reduced forces.
All my energies, whatever the cost, will go into stopping you
making further inroads into my territories. This will
inevitably mean a win for Islamist forces, and a defeat for the
Christian values of the West. There is still time to rectify
the damage your hasty action has done..
Refrain from a build this season and I will know that all is not lost for both of us..
Build, and you will find Germany an implacable enemy, one that will prefer to favour his previous
enemies over his previous allies.
Uncle, one last entreaty... let you not tear our great family
apart. Let us settle any disagreements over policy amicably
and move forward together!

Your somewhat disappointed nephew,
Willie

Willie,
Your gains against the Ottoman Empire in the Eastern front give us joy. Our celebration will begin
in earnest if you would consider reorganizing your force structure to better match our alliance.
If you will disband one of your navies, with the one remaining to be moored in Holland, we will
withdraw our navies from the Baltic, the North Sea, and the English Channel. Failure to do so will
be unappreciated.
We regret we were unable to present these terms more peaceably. You have our encouragement and
support to maintain your dislodged army in either Gascony or Marseilles, and even to return it to
Spain in the coming year. We are now in position to accomplish in the Mediterranean what you have
achieved in the region of Poland. Together our countries can ensure Europe's future peace and
prosperity.
Warmest Regards from Your Uncle and Friend,
Bertie

Dearest Bertie,

Thank you for your message, which unfortunately due to your
unwarranted removal of my Army from Spain I was forced to treat
with several grains of salt.

I hope you took my missive seriously, and then we are back
together on the one road!

Either way the cast is cast....

If you have forgone your build then we are Allies to the last,
and Europe will be ours!

If you have proceeded with your build then both our fates are
sealed and total victory will be the Turks'.

Hopefully your regard for our family has brought some manner of
sense to your strategic thinking...

Yours in Peace, (and War)

Willehem

DC226 to much clutter, Spring 1908 Due! (hapolley) Jun 05, 09:53 pm

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
