PRESS

ALB: Someone requested an EGP so as a reminder as to what was said in the Gamestart, rule number one:

1. End Game Proposals (EGP) aren't allowed until after A05. After A05, any EGP must be a fair reflection on the state of the board when the EGP is presented. If it isn't, I'll not display it. When EGP are shown, players must submit together with their orders, etc, their vote. Failure to vote equals 'yes' to the EGP.

Business Section...

Germany now controls many of the European trade centres including those in Paris, Berlin, Moscow, and Rome. The Kaiser has expressed his anger of the recent English invasion of Danish territory which could spark war, and raise the stock of artillery.

Odds on Favourite, Coolie Loach, Spring 1905

Austria 12:1

England 100:1

France 10:1

Germany 2:1

Russia (unavailable, eliminated)

Turkey 5:1

Eagle Points Section...

The game Coolie Loach has yet to see any anarchies, so there are a full 7 points there. Further more, there are two players in the rank of 3rd division diplomat. An extra 0.5 points. That gives a total of 7.5 points. So,

Solo winner = 7.5 points

2 way Draw = 3.75 points a piece

A 3-way draw seems unlikely right now. That said, a lot of points at stake here...

The SI will soon be entering its 10th anniversary issue, and we hope you can purchase it for it will be a memorable one. Thank you.

Autumn 1905 deadline: 5pm BST; 19th October 2006.
