The other games have more wide-open spaces. Some have queried about sending extremely white press just for fun & enthusiasm. Starting yr 3 may allow. I can only say I used to send white press like ' 'The real item evoking silly talk enuff for all is the bout of bad weather..or similar' (near exact quote). The 1st letters of the 1st 5 deliberately strange words would tell someone who paid attention something. Would test arcane knowledge of history other times to see if someone would follow along. Unlike the 'trieste' message above it often didn't work but as gm am still aware of possibilities of regional/national clues folks could drop. http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=dc471 Miswrote message before copy so off in DC but you get it
