There is something about this game that allows both types to coexist, even thrive together. I've included a few snippets of noise from past games: -cut- Message to Turkey: In a strange dream, the Sultan sees a compass with a large green arrow spinning wildly, eventually coming to a rest slightly south of the East position. All his advisors are baffled, but they agree that it is a sign of great troubles to come. The Sultan is warned to tread carefully. -cut- Broadcast message from Russia: Russia notes with great dismay that Germany has declared war on the peace loving leader and forces of the French Republic. The Russian people are sympathetic to the French, and vow to offer as much support and military aid as is possible, until the last German Soldier and sailor are disarmed. Tsar Nick -cut- Broadcast message: It seems that the Germans reject one of the fundamentals of a democratic society: a secret ballot. In the true spirit of the despot, the evil that walks the capital of Germany wishes to railroad our gentle Russian brothers who have been needlessly attacked by German murderers, with the aid of English traitors. Both have, as well, attempted to kill innocent French citizens, who only wanted to live in peace and cooperation. The court of world opinion will judge them both in the years to come as they maim and kill other innocents. The Grey Ghost -cut- Message from Italy to Turkey It seems we are nicely placed to fight the Austrian, if that is what you'd like to do, but we need to stop building fleets. I'd like to take tri with my army after which I can support you into Ser. This is just preliminary but i would definitely like to work with you. Is there any possibility that we can form an alliance? - not just a peace treaty, but an actual alliance is what I want, which would involve my building armies, not fleets! -cut- Message from Turkey to Germany: How about A BER S A TYR - MUN just for fun. It might stand him off in Mun if he tries Mun-Ber. I suspect Kie - Ber anyhow. -cut- Message from Turkey to Italy: Where do you want my support in GOL or WES? Or do you want to try Wes - Naf with me attempting Tys - Wes? -cut- JL </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00027.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Integrating PK</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00029.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Git out the boar spear, Martha!</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00074.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Wounds and trauma</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00067.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] A simple political/social system?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00028"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00028"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] Population container</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00075" HREF="msg00075.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Population container</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Fri 04 Jul 1997, 05:58 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00037" HREF="msg00037.html">Wear Location System</A></strong>, Jon A.
