Germany,
yes, like yOu, i am quite prejudiced aGainst the master, whO has nOt
made even One GOOfy mOve yet! i am currently OrGanizinG an underGrOund mOvement
tO deceive and distract the enemy while yOu quietly maneuver yOur army/fleet
units tO the edGe Of the bOard. Once they are in pOsitiOn tO attack the master,
Our victOry shOuld be ensured, as, i am infOrmed, the master has nO units Of
his Own!!! yes!!! he is merely scarinG the Other pOwers intO submissiOn, but
he actually has nO fOrces tO suppOrt his demands On us all!!!
fOr nOw, secrecy is absOlutely essential! sO far, i dO nOt believe
anybOdy suspects that i have received any cOrrespOndences frOm yOu Or that i
have been influenced in any way by yOur ideas. sO all is GOOd.
ObsOrvOr
I declare war upon the ObsOrvOr!
I'm going to poke your eyes out!

Oh fredd!e... !f yOu th!nk yOu can beat me that eas!ly, th!nk

reasOnably well, as lOng as ! st!ll have my exclamat!On marks!!!

I see that my new & improved "broadcast silencer" sendmail replacement is
doing quite well ... no one is talking any more.
MajorDomo
To Austria: You have proxy control of my fleet.
Goofy play or simply vicious play? You decide.
STAND BACK
MAKE WAY I MUST PASS THROUGH
I am on an inspired mission, and I must be allowed to pass.
Please keep Galicia clear so that I may continue my assault on the edge of
the board.
Sincerely,

Insanely stupid? Or maybe just very goofy. I think I'll try it on our
own very conscientious master. Germany, I am joining your fight. Maybe
we'll be able to find the master with sonar. Then we'll know which
edge of the board to go to.
PING!

Nonono! A reflective surface reverses the signal, so:
!GNIPGNIPGNIP
Talk talk talk talk talk... Nothing but talk! Why should Italy want me to
*talk* about what I'm going to do? Actions speak louder than words! Goofiness
is in the EYES (or maybe !s?) of the beholder, not the EARS! Loose lips sink
English ships! Just because Italy and Austria have broadcast all their plans,
giving others the opportunity to counteract and outgoof them, I should also
start thinking out loud? Why should I even be required to think? I will make
my own choices as to when to think and when not to thank, think you!
--The Silly English K-nnnn-ighit!
p.s. to France: dislodge/disrupt the Italian fleet/convoy? Convoy NAf-Wal?
Convoy Belgium-Ireland? Let's talk.
*grin*
Actually I wrote my orders assuming Italy would proxy his
fleet to me. Too bad the gig is blown.
Hey, Kaiser , I think I see the Master scurrying
around in Africa. He has eluded my armies, but I will chase him to
the end of the Earth.
