13 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1901: Hello all, have a good game!
14 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1901: Happy Stabbing!
14 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1901: Dear Diplomats, Please remember to get your orders in! Happy Stabbing, Matthias / France.
15 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Do you know that the name of the game is Diplomacy? That means talking to each other.
15 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Some enigmatic moves from Turkey there.
15 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: The Sultan just forgot to hand in moves.
15 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: France claims Belgium.
15 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Let's unite against the zombies!
16 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: People who don't communicate are a bunch of lazy zombies.
16 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Dear fellow leaders of Europe: The twentieth century is upon us. With it have come new dangers and threats to the general peace. Under normal circumstances, I would open diplomatic correspondence with each of you separately, broaching subjects of mutual interest to our two nations alone. Border changes, spheres of interest, alliances for mutual defense against an agressor, that sort of thing. But it has come to my attention that Europe faces an even greater danger than the normal cut-and-thrust of international politics. A menace so great that it dwarfs all others, even the danger of conquest by another nation. A terrible threat to the very existence of humanity itself. I speak, of course, of… ZOMBIES. You know who I mean. They lurch among us, pretending to be responsible national leaders like ourselves — but don't be fooled. THEY ARE NOT! They may at first appear normal. Initially they may even send you press — I guess they still have some vesitgial capacity for speech left before their brains rot completely. But as time goes on, even this stops or falls to nothing. They do not send or reply to long, detailed messages. Soon, they answer pleas and threats alike with mindless silence, as though the soul has left the body. And yet, THEY STILL MOVE! They shamble onward, seemingly without direction, dripping guck ALL OVER THE LANDSCAPE as they go. They have no strategic plan or tactical sense; all they know is that THEY MUST CONSUME. They use brute force to seize our cities, and the poor victims within soon swell their undead host with NEW ZOMBIE ARMIES. In time, they extend their evil reach to the upper levels of new governments (particularly when that country has just been stabbed, for some reason). Their aim is to put all Europe — indeed, the ENTIRE WORLD — under the dominion of EVIL ZOMBIE HORDES. THEY MUST BE STOPPED!
16 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: He who knows not how to dissimulate knows not how to rule.
16 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Honesty is the best policy.
17 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Replace England and Germany.
17 Apr 11 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Or at very least email them to wake them up. Otherwise it's going to be unbalanced.
19 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: Is Germany likely to return either?
19 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: France is in favour of getting players for Britain and Germany (back).
19 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: Italy too.
20 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: Ouch, sorry, I expected the software to send reminders.
20 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: Hm, that is problematic :( Big excuse
20 Apr 11 UTC	Spring, 1902: Hm, I guess it's game over for me now :'(
