'Your poetry is REALLY bad'
The players said, all very mad
'Our ears have bled,
Brain cells gone dead -
Please stop it now you heartless cad!!'

---------------------------------------------------------

And how could I refuse a request like that? Yes, the DIAS draw passes with five enthusiastic votes and peace falls on the European continent once more. For the sake of things, I ran through the Fall 1913 adjudication but it changes little and the board remains dead-locked. Therefore, this game is one for the books. My thanks and congratulations to all you players for playing this one out to the bitter end. It was a hard-fought one, that's for sure. End-of-game statements are, of course, very welcome.

For the record, for all of you folks who watched what I did, shrugged their shoulders and said 'Meh, I could do that,' then have I got an offer for you.. Diplomaticcorp is currently looking for GM's to step up and put me in my place. Whether you have lots of experience, or have never GM'd a single game, we'd love to have you. If you're interested (and I *know* you are) just drop me, Sims or Penger a line...

Once again, my hearty congratulations to you guys for the draw. Thanks for putting up with all the horrendous poetry with nary a protest.. =)

Cheers!

Trout
