Catalonian Chronicle, 5 July, 1901
*Multiple public press releases cause Kaiser to be called a kook!*
*Commentary from the Matterhorn!*
Welcome to the fifth edition of your indefatigable Catalan Chronicle!
We have lots of news and views from the continent in this, your latest issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------
From our Vienna newsdesk:
From "The Kaiser":
Italy? Italy? Why are you
sitting on my coastline? Why are you in Trieste? Your best bet to
survive is to attempt Vienna, but you'll probably bounce with Russia.
Otherwise, let's stay out of each others way.
Russia -- didn't think you were serious about bouncing in Gal.
Would have been a good idea, though. Instead, I hope we find a way to
work together instead of fighting --- that just gives Italy and Turkey a
free run at us.
The Rest of the world -- Good Luck all, and stay out the midland areas. 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Russia
to Austria and/or Italy - Shall we form one of those anti-Turkish deals
where we gang up on him because it just makes so much long term sense?Russia to German - Thanks for letting me into Sweden. You did right?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Der Kaiser wishes that all Cities surrender without firing a bullet!
Peaceful wishes to English Armies in the North. Bouncing in Burgundy is only fun for one year.
Was that the bear whining about Sweden already?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hear Ye, Here ye! (shh shh .. what are you yelling about? Shut Up, man, you'll get us all killed!)
This
is your roving reporter again, deeply embedded in a hillside on the
border of Switzerland, where I can see troop movements from 4 countries.
And movement there certainly is!
France and England, 2 countries with long histories of war, look
to have settled differences and steamed off in opposite directions. I am
currently in dealings to buy a nice villa on the Brest coast...
possibly the safest place to be in this war!
Austria made a typical, hardheaded, strong move south -- and is
now paying the inevitable price of having 2 countries knocking on the
back door. Whoopsie!
Turkey taking on Russia? Poke the bear much? Maybe that takes some pressure off Austria, though?
Russia has moved against everyone possible, in one form or another.
Desperate for a friend much? The Rumanians have flown the coop, last
seen racing over the Carpathians to more stable ground. But what's
there? Serbia? Already teaming with Austrian armies. Maybe a trip across
the Med would be more peaceful.
Germany looks to be a little worn-out, but I'm sure it's a purposeful slow start.
On
the opposite end of the spectrum -- Italy! Flexing muscle it didn't
know it had, and we outsiders can't see it either! But obviously some
notion of greatness has flooded into Italy and he's making a run at the
Solo. YES, you heard it here first, I am calling it: ITALY SOLO!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Telegrammes from London!
To Paris: Germany offers an alliance, then moves to Burgundy? Classic.
As long as we can keep the Channel and North Atlantic DMZed, I think
we have a good chance to work together here-much better positioning for
us than for the F/G.
To Moscow: I keep my promises.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This concludes our latest edition of the Catalan Chronicle,
we
hope you've enjoyed reading it. Please do send in your news stories,
thoughts, dreams, ambitions, and reviews, however mendacious, for us all
to enjoy.
Autumn 01 moves and press are due Thursday 13 May, 2000GMT.

The vote on the AET draw fails ... as do both attempts to take Spain. Interesting. Is the war in Europe about to re-ignite, or will in remain in this one corner of the map?

Catalonian Chronicle, 4 March, 1901
*WAR BREAKS OUT ACROSS EUROPE!!! We have the latest reports of troop and ship movement for you!*
*Italian army enters Trieste; claims that the soldiers have 'come to help teach the Dalmatians how to make proper risotto' are looked upon with scepticism!*
*Massive naval engagement in the Black Sea, hundreds of sailors feared killed, both fleets limp home to port for summer refit!*
*Skirmishes between French and German units in Burgundy prove inconclusive!*
*Copenhagen falls to Kaiser without a bullet being fired!*
*Austrians hot on the tail of Archy Duke in Sarajevo!*
*Bulgaria's hard-won independence from the Ottomans reversed in lightening campaign!*
Welcome to the fourth edition of your super Catalan Chronicle! Although reports are still coming in from across the Continent, we have news of troop and ship movements to give you, our avid Catalan readership:

We also have some reports from our correspondents, received via the telegraph wires only yesterday morning:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Russia to Germany: Re: Sweden - In case you did order to Den, why bump when we can hump? A Russian Sweden is a happy Sweden.
Russia to Austria: Assuming we bounced in Gal this Spring, I have no intention of moving there in the Fall, let's DMZ there.
Russia
to Turkey: The price for an alliance is BLA. Likely I'll take Rum
with a fleet leaving BLA open to you in the Fall. However, if you move
to Con or stay put in ANK you can consider it a deal and I won't have
to build F Sev.Russia to Austria part 2: If Turkey doesn't take me up on this, then let's certainly work together?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Paris,
Hopefully
we can figure a Win-Win FG alliance. My move to Den is hopefully a
small sign of that. You take Bel and I'll take Hol?
Berlin
---------------------------------------------------------------
This concludes our latest edition of the Catalan Chronicle,

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that the latest Gunboat game is underway here at the Diplomaticcorp website. We're having lots of fun putting together press for the world to read, come and have a look at the dc459 messageboard.
The Spring 01 moves deadline is tomorrow evening at 2000GMT. I'm sure once the game properly gets underway, there'll be lots more fun press to us all to read.

| dc459 Spring 01 Press 3 - jerome777 (Jun 09, 2013, 2:54 pm) |
Catalonian Chronicle, 28 February, 1901
*COUNTDOWN TO WAR! Mobilisation of armies and fleets across our Continent!*
*Highly improbable intervention from arcane Eastern European god heralds imminent European bloodbath!*
*War poems start early!*
*Auction to be held of Grand Duke's treasured artifacts!*
*Teddy-bear diplomacy attempted by London mandarins!*
*Einführung des Deutsch sprechend Kriegskorrespondent, zum unvorsichtig
zu verwirren!*
Welcome to the third edition of your super Catalan Chronicle!
This is the final press release before the first move deadline, which is tomorrow (Monday 10 June) at 2000GMT. Make sure you get your final moves in to me in good time! Press will be published simultaneously with those moves. There is then one press deadline (Tuesday 2000GMT) before the Autumn moves, due Thursday.
We
are pleased to report the receipt of multiple telegrams from our
correspondents, and are delighted to publish these for you below.
---------------------------------------------------------------
TREMBLE,
MORTALS! Hear the words of PERUN, God of War! This game is written in
the stars for those whose comprehension is beyond that of yours, puny
humans. Seven come to the table. The first to fall will determine the
final victor; two more will collapse while three will live to see the
ultimate victory of MY UNWILLING CHAMPION. So you all might as well
just surrender and give the solo to the King.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Russia, England here. Nwy will get a fleet, not an army, unless you act foolishly by moving Mos-StP.
---------------------------------------------------------------
My dreams are filled with dead children bodies,
piling up in sweet Europa.
I see their smiles, their futures,
that could have been.
I cry while I sleep now.
While awake I see headlines,
carefully constructed by the mass media
"Countdown to War"
Who owns the media?
Who wants more children to die?
More glory, more power for the chosen few.
Who are the chosen few?
Are they me?
Are they you?
Can I remain awake or is life a living nightmare?
Can I look myself in the eyes and knowing
that I am just standing by
while the world is falling into the abyss of darkness?
Deeper by day.
Do we dare risk anything
for our fellow brothers and sisters,
that are suffering in our world?
Do we dare be heroes and not just sit by as
bullets and shells rain over the poor benighted children?
As the children in Flanders
die like flies yet another winter?
As the children in Galicia
wait with fear in their heart
about what will happen next?
Can we really sleep without seeing those bodies
pile up in our sleepless dreams?
The eyes, the smiles
that will be
no more. ---------------------------------------------------------------
The
untimely death of the Grand Duke of Smolensk has resulted in his assets
being sold off by the Emperor to fund the war effort. A great admirer
of history, his interested were wide-ranging, and among the bargains
which can be found in the Grand Duke's collection, like-minded persons
will find the following:
-An
authentic rock crusher used in the Silesian mines, formerly of the
Grand Duke's antique collection. The device was constructed in Milan by
Gabriel Reznicek, formerly of Prague, and serves as a symbol of Italian
ingenuity and enterprise growing in opposition to the Germanic
industrial complex.
-Roman
and Gallic swords taken from Alesia. Historians will recall that in
the year 52 BC, Cæsar's victory at Alesia turned the tide of the Gallic
Wars forever in favor of the Romans, and set the stage for Cæsar to
transition Rome from Republic to Empire.
-Letters
from the French writers Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas to Guiseppe
Garibaldi, concerning the topic of friendship between France and the
newly-born Italian Kingdom. Due to a clerical error in Switzerland, the
letters never arrived, but their discovery in 1880 sparked renewed
calls for a grand alliance between the two nations.

| DC 456 Imperium - Fall 404 - Zoterik (Jun 09, 2013, 2:00 am) |
The area that is to become Switzerland is very passable on this map, but all the same we have quite the traffic jam from Marseilles to Milan. Here, the river is the roadblock. Certainly will be interesting to observe that. Two risky moves in the West both pay off, but they do neutralize each other-the Franci convoy to North England and the Saxones sail up the Rhine. Now we advance into Winter 404, the first such season in which the Franci have no builds. The rest of you can breathe easier and figure out what to do with your one.
I'm leaving Ukraine on 12th June. If you guys can get in a complete set of orders on the 11th, I'll adjudicate then. Otherwise, the deadline will be 13 June, time TBD depending on my jet lag and general condition. And if I get out of Ukraine without visiting the militsa office.

| DC457: 1618 Influence Phase - mmedeiros (Jun 08, 2013, 12:18 pm) |
The desperation of the major powers to influence the remaining minor states has led to several states declaring neutrality and others remaining as such.
After spearheading the attack on Lithuania, in support of the Scandinavians' grand strategy, Livonia declares neutrality after an Austrian diplomatic effort, demanding Livonia to end its allegiance with Scandinavia, proves successful. Livonian army, however, holds its position in Lithuania.
In a similar reversal, Saxony breaks its ties with Austria, declares neutrality as Protestant factions take hold.
In a major turn in events, Westphalia, staunchly allied with Spain since the start of the war, has now entered into an alliance with England, offering complete support of military advances.[Reply] |

at the same speed, the speed of light.......the phrase the deadline is fast approaching is of course wrong...its not fast approaching, it doesnt have a speed, its a point in time relevant only because you the GM make the rules on when a turns orders must be in by.....

Hello,
Friendly reminder here that this game is quickly approaching its deadline... or if your frame of reference is within the game, then the deadline is quickly approaching the game. The real question arises when you ponder if the game was to be moving at the speed of light... at what speed would the deadline be approaching it? Could one argue then that accelerating the game would make the deadline never arrive?
Monday!
