PREV Spring 903 Adjudication: NEXT

DC229: The Spring 903 season has been adjudicated. Given the late adjudication and the plethora of press, I will forgo my usual blather and get right to business.

We have a short season upcoming, with the Fall 903 deadline on Fri Feb 27th at 10 pm USA Eastern time. Please be sure to send in prelims, as the deadline will arrive quickly. In the meantime, we have the retreat deadline, which I will adjudicate ASAP; orders are needed from East Franks (Germany) and Samanid Empire (Turan).

Before the adjudication, we have 3 sets of press. The quality is remarkably high this week, including a set of limericks, a sonnet, and a classic verse from the Russian poet Lomonosov. Thanks to all players who sent in press, and keep it coming!

Press #1 (Umayyid / Spain):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Press:
A scheming young chieftain from Wagadu
in a hasty display of his derring-do
concocted some schemes
involving triremes
a nothing about which there's much ado

Said he, "there's no reason to fear
a naval attack on your rear
why, i've much greater interest
in African business
than Mediterranean cheer"

But alas as it often turns out
there's plenty of reason to doubt
the words of a chieftain
who's never believed in
taking the civilized route

my landing that army in Mau
has provoked quite a terrible row
and now he's intending
beginning the ending
of Ummayad's emirate - now!

But take some small comfort my friends,
he hasn't the means to those ends
and building those ships
will mean that he skips
the armies he needs to defends

So heed this poor Umayyad verse
as we fit that chief for his hearse
picking a fight
when you haven't the might
to win it - is awfully perverse.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Press #2 (French):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
PRESS:

Says Oliver: "Pagans in force abound,
While of us Franks but very few I count;
Comrade Rollanz, your horn I pray you sound!
If Charles hear, he'll turn his armies round."
Answers Rollanz: "A fool I should be found;
In France the Douce would perish my renown.
With Durendal I'll lay on thick and stout,
In blood the blade, to its golden hilt, I'll drown.
Felon pagans to th' pass shall not come down;
I pledge
you now, to death they all are bound

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

******************************

Is it not he, who razed the fortress
That threatened Rus' beside the flowing Don?
Is it not he who struck the Persians down
Amidst the thirsting reaches of the steppe?
Just such a gaze he cast upon his foes
When he debarked on Gothic shores,
Just such a mighty hand he raised,
And his steed galloped just as swift
When now his legions trampled the plains
That lie before the dawning day.

MIKHAIL LOMONOSOV
