GM Comment: Now - As players are eliminated, I am going to announce who they are. The eliminated players will get one chance to submit press (at their winter deadline) but after that winter, no press or comments will be accepted by the them until end of game.

Our First elimination and in 10th place, playing the Frisians was Derek Eyler. Derek was ranked 28th in the 2008 DCI rankings and was the 'first' of our substitute players chosen for the game.
Derek was selected to play as one of the top 6 ranked (and eligble players) was unable to play this year. Unfortunately Derek will not progress to the second round of the DCI unless 3 players are unable to continue. Derek finishes on 1 point. Thanks for playing Derek- GM


PRESS

Britons speak,

To Welsh,

I think we are proceeding smoothly here. Frisians out, Picts to go and Saxons to follow?


To Saxons,

I'm sorry for this, but I could no longer support your dying cause. You have my respect for a spirited defense.


To Angles,

I'll let you take Sus; proposing dmz of Tha and possibly Str as well. Let me know.


To Danes,

Hope support this season proves more adequate.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
I assume this is my last turn, good game and good luck to all. (Except the Danes and Brits...)

Saxons to Britons: I am content to survive to final 7 and to fight another day and I am VERY willing to provide aid to the one who keeps me alive to that end. I personally don't like the concept of a 'gunboat' game that actually allows PRESS; Gunboat is meant to be a true guessing game where intent is inferred/guessed at based on mutual movements.

Saxons to Angles: Is this really necessary and productive?

Saxons to All: for the record, I did vote and will continue to vote for any draw that I get included in. Hell, if you eliminate others and let me be in the 7 I will vote for anything that doesn't include me.

Picts, I'll continue to support when possible. Feel free to make
suggestions to me and the Angles.

Britons, one fleet in either ENG or CEL, en route to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Ireland, is fine.
Two is too many. Let's discuss whether I need your help or not in
the winter press.

Angles, very impressive moves! If a new fleet doesn't convince the
Danes to head north instead of west, then nothing will.

Saxons, we're all realists, but I won't knock you out of the Top Seven.

-Wales

Danes/Norse: Didn't think I'd take Dog. I'm heading back home. Peace!

Britons: Hopefully you are in Wig. If you have any ideas about coordination let me know this winter. I'm all ears.

Danes: Would you like to coordinate anything?

- Angles

A bit of help with these cheeky Scotts would be nice.

Continentals: The islanders seem to want to hold us off so they are the 7, lets makes sure we are.

Norse press... to Danes. Hope we are bashing these Angles back to where they belong. I will support you in down south if you tell me what to support. to Scots... Far better things for you to do down the west not the east and if you continue against me then I will encourage others to move against you. to Picts. Since Scots push I will give you support against him if you move on him.

Danes to Britons and Norse
Obviously I got the Dogger moves wrong - hopefully this turn worked out. Stupid of me.

END PRESS
