***** TURKEY PRESS BULLETIN *****
Noble Turks are called to rally to the cause of justice. We will fight the godless hordes with all our might. There will be no true peace untill Glorious Turkey vanquishes the foes, or our strength fails and we cry "Freedom!" with our last sweet breath. We will not sell our lives cheaply. We will not run from the fight!

I think that Commander Peter Quincy Taggart said it best:



Robert the Bruce said it pretty well too:

Fall 1908

Forgive me for not posting all of the turn results this turn. It's a lot of work and at this point few people are watching the game. There are two retreats needed: France and Turkey, and I've included the jdip file in my email to everyone.

Turkey and France are better than Russia and Italy, even though we do not know how to embed youtube clips in our press releases.

1. Peter - i watch your youtube. it is poignant, topical fare, ripped from today's headlines. Your flair for excerpting animated bliss in a subtly mocking/irreverant tone shows promise both as a shrewd diplomat, but also as a digital savant.

2. Dave - I wasnt whining, just making a point that my moves are defensive, and just basically stalematey little dances at this point. of course, if some other nation would come to my aid by bringing some fleets in to help break the italian blocade, well then maybe i would be able to make purposeful moves, and this game would not be over. oh i wonder what nation could help me?

3 Josh - see above.

4 Jim - russia will fall.
