Game Notes:
I thought I'd try something a bit different this time out. I'm giving myself a non-"GM" nickname in this game.
The last time I was in Enchanted Valley Lodge, there were a number of items posted on the lodge walls. One was an outdoor magazine article on a couple who'd pitched their tent near an Alaskan stream directly on top of a trail used frequently by bears. Apparently, they had been ... ( let's see, this is a family 'zine', so let's say ....) making love when a bear came along to cross the stream. In the morning, their friends found their shredded tent and their naked bodies in the stream.
Several of the other posted items were National Park warnings to women backpackers in bear country to be extremely careful with their female hygiene during their periods.
Ok, Bart: in this game, I'm going by Ursus Horrabilis, or Hu' for short. AND, the UH or Hu by-line(s) will be reserved for the exclusive use of this game's referee!
Please remember to submit conditional autumn retreats and conditional winter adjustments with your Fall 1901 orders.

News from the Board
Aus-Tur:  I agree that the first thing we should do is remove the white threat to our back door.
Lon-Ber:  You take Holland and I'll take Belgium.
Fra-Eng:  Ahoy there matey! Hope you didn't go into the Channel. That could change who is the first one eliminated from this game.
G-T:  Now that you are a "sultan", you must keep up your appearance. This means no more parking your white pick-up on the front lawn, getting that sofa off of the porch, and picking up those Coors-light pounder cans left over from last month's barbecue.
G-T:  Real European men carry purses.
G-E:  Remember this is only a game... you're not really English. This means no driving drunk naked on your motorcycle, no rioting in the streets after a Man. U loss, and no carrying purses.
G-E,DM:  All this talk about mushrooms is making me a bit nervous.
Hu-G:  Just prepare all your own food, and you should be ok...
G-T:  I imagine that you are in on this mushroom thing too.
G-DM:  Why do the words "Bart Denny" always seem to bring out the nasty press in people?
Hu-G:  Maybe you need a new dictionary. Mine shows 'Bart Denny' and 'black press' to be synonyms.
Italy-Turkey:  Let's meet in Vienna and discuss our common enemy, the Great White Bear.
Russia-Austria & Turkey:  Just extending my hands -- via army and fleet -- to greet you. Howdy, neighbors!
Russia-England:  You can take Norway without challenge, but not with an army, please, or ahem! -- I will have to extend a couple of hands your way, too!
Denny-QR:  Okay, I don't know about you people, but for the duration of this game I shall refer to Tom as "Colonel Bob" in honor of that lovely forest-clad mountain (4492 ft/1369m) by the shores of Lake Quinault.
Hu-Denny:  May I refer you to the game notes?
Denny-Colonel Bob:  Sorry, it is a natural fit!
Hu-Denny:  Maybe so, maybe not. I like this furry fit better.
Denny-QR:  Press experiment! I'm going to give you the first line of a joke/poem/story/whatever. I'll also pick someone who is to give us the next line and pick the next contributor. If you think it finished last time start a new one. Easy. Got it? Okay, Mr. Lurz, provide the next bit of, "A Man and a Duck walk into a bar. They each sit on a bar stool and the bartender says..."
Hu-Denny:  I like it! Maybe it's time I send a sample ish to Don Williams!
Denny-QR:  Let's try two, okay? Mr. Milewski! "There once was a man from Nantucket..."
Bart-Austria:  If you're smart, you'll help me with the Russians. We could go places (not named in this family magazine).
GM-Bart:  Thanks for keeping it clean.
Hu-GM:  That's exactly what we need in this family 'zine: clean black press!
Bart-England:  You take the high road (to France) and I'll take the low road (to France).
Hu-Bart:  You're a literary type guy; I'd have expected you to offer England the low road...
Bart-France:  I'm coming your way!
Bart-Germany:  Don't bother coming to Vienna. But you take care of the Franks and the Rus, and I'll let you live a long time.
Bart-Italy:  Let's meet in Vienna.
Bart-Russia:  I hope you didn't go into the Black Sea. That'll make me mad. And you don't want to get me mad.
Hu-Russia:  Heavens, no, you don't want to get Bart mad. He might play rationally for a change!
