Deadline for Winter 1702 is Sunday, 15 April 2018, Noon New York time.

Press: Yup. :^)

Beijing to Board: The Emperor is distressed at reports from Europe that an army there was forced to retreat. This suggests that conflict has befallen the region. Strife is bad for the soul; his Serene Highness commends you colonial powers to learn to get along. In contrast, everything is peaceful here in the Far East; no reason for you to pay attention.

Just a guess: The anonymous press in the Spring report was written by Mr. Deily. Your Shakespeare is showing, Nathan.

Board to GM: Is it 1705 yet? Is it 1705 yet?

Hope you’re well.

Turkish Press: While listening to this song in the car, I couldn't help but think of The Dawn of the Enlightenment. I was partly inspired by our GM's music choices to listen to while reviewing the adjudications. Add this one to your playlist and see if it doesn't make your heart swell with a mix of passionate determination and looming dread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyIOl-s7JTU
