Autumn, 844: This game is moving quickly. Let us remember that 8 SC's equals victory. |

Spring, 845: We all look forward to when the Danes join the East Francia empire! |

Autumn, 845: West Francia - I encourage your great nation to consider a push on Flanders this year. They make good wine, and I fear additional growth by East Francia may get to a point of no return very soon. |

Autumn, 845: I will deploy my limited services to the highest bidder. So far I've received an empty, self-serving offer from the Middle, but it's currently better than the nothing I've heard from the East. |

Autumn, 845: West Francia - I cannot gain a SC this turn. You can with Flanders. I will cut support in Lorraine as that boosts your SC count, and prevents East Francia from potential growth. With where their land troops are positioned, any more growth from them and a solo is imminent. That should serve us both. |

Autumn, 845: A clear distortion of the truth by a player one SC from victory. |

Autumn, 845: What do you propose instead, East? |
19 Aug 20 UTC |
Autumn, 845: I can get in a position to help you gain some ground. If you help Middle Francia, you give them the game. It would be like the great fraud of 824. Disinformation was spread and we have still barely recovered from it. |

Autumn, 845: Additionally, I don't think I should have to argue to strongly seeing as how the alternative is to help the player who is one SC away from victory. |
19 Aug 20 UTC |
Autumn, 845: This game has been absolute torture from start to finish. Absolutely nothing has worked out in my favor. Therefore, I'm going to do something this turn that is going to totally turn the game in my favor and I will be forever hailed as a conquering hero. May both of you be gracious in defeat. |
19 Aug 20 UTC |
Autumn, 845: Middle Francia is already looking forward to next game to avenge the West Francia victory. |
19 Aug 20 UTC |
Autumn, 845: It's a game again! |
19 Aug 20 UTC |
Spring, 846: Congratulations to the Flanders people, who have been liberated from East Francia! |
19 Aug 20 UTC |
Spring, 846: I feel like I played the part of sacrificial lamb quite well there. As the old East Francia motto goes, "friendly to a fault." |
20 Aug 20 UTC |
Autumn, 846: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders. |

Spring, 847: West Francia - Lorraine will support Flanders > Friesland. |
20 Aug 20 UTC |
Spring, 847: Middle Francia - I am skeptical that you will follow through, and also don't want to ruin positive relations with the East. You can expect me to, for the time being, protect my own "assets", if you will. |
20 Aug 20 UTC |
Spring, 847: West Francia - I think it is in your best interest for you to be in Friesland. But if you do not want support, I can respect that. |
20 Aug 20 UTC |
Spring, 847: West Francia - we all see that would leave you vulnerable to the scheming Middle Francia. Notice that they did not even offer an explanation of why it is in "your" best interest to move to Friesland. I am not planning any moves against you, West Francia. Middle Francia is still in the best position to claim victory. |

Spring, 847: Middle Francia - I think your immediate concern should be your eastern front and not about what's happening up north. |
