PRESS

Andy-All:
Please do NOT forget to include retreats in next season's (S1905) orders!

Dark Lord to All:
Oh snivelling puss drinkers, how dare you suggest I am no more. I will be with you always, shining a light on your treachery and debauchery. I will be watching and waiting always vigilant and lusting after that taste of your death. Oh how your deaths will be celebrated across this land.

Fare ye well French cousin you fought valiantly against odds superior in strength only, for you had superiority in cause and civilisation. Your death will be avenged; for the venom that runs through the veins of your tormentors shall bring its just rewards; a painfull end.

These marauding murderers bringing suffering to so many innocents and the brazen lies suggesting that they bring freedom when the graves of so many children lost to their savagery, cry out for justice. It shall come fear not, even if not in this life but the next.

I look now with pity on the Russian cousins who will share a similar fate at the hands on these evil men. If only those with goodness and peace in their hearts would rise up and bring these living buckets of slime and filth to justice.

I call out, as your Dark Lord, to listen to the love within your hearts, raise your swords as one and smite them down, bury them in unmarked graves and visit the sites each year to urinate on them screaming "burn in hell you vomit filled butcherers". This I say with peace and goodness so that light will shine on this troubled land once again.

Vie to All:
Happy New Year Everyone:
Resolutions for the Damned:
Italy resolves that someone will answer his e-mails.
Russia resolves not to be destroyed until at least the Spring of 1905.
France resolves never to be France again.
Germany resolves to allow lesser nations to survive. (for a little while anyway)
Turkey resolves to quit referring to himself as the Sultan of Swing.
England resolves to get through one press submission without using a Clash lyric.
Austria resolves to remain humble and lovable.

London Calling All:
Sir Wordsworth is playing with the new blue boat he received for Christmas. He wants to be like Captain Jack Sparrow. And he wants a pretty piratess. Keira Knightley would do.

London Calling Monsieur Thomsen:
Sorry for the treachery. London shall take good care of the Pond of Peace. Better luck in future games. I also placed a lot of money with skybet on your elimination. For that reason, I have acted against you this season. It is all about the money, nothing personal. I hope to meet you again. Have a wonderful 2004. Good luck to Denmark in Euro 2004.

London Calling The East:
Can somebody please tell me what is going on out there? I hope my German friend can bring civility to your lands.

London Calling Germany:
You see, I am sorry for having stabbed you so many times in this game. But you see that I did leave you Paris. I imagine your soldiers shall be parading through the Arc de Triomphe. Enjoy the croissants. I hope we can talk sometime. Silence is not golden.

London Calling The East:
Where be the Ling, the Dean, and the Werner? Not a peep from the three little peeps. Me hopes you be fine.

London Calling Rome:
Dealing with the devil is not always bad. I am a trustworthy one.

London Calling All:
Give us more boats. England desires the proxies for all boats in the water. Send them posthaste.

London Calling with lyrics from London Calling:
"Stagger Lee met Billy and they go down to gambling
Stagger Lee throwed seven
Billy said that he throwed eight
So Billy said, hey Stagger! I'm gonna make my big attack
I'm gonna have to leave my knife in your back"

Yup, dat's wot im sayin!
Rock on Archduke Rod!!!

Andy-All:
