            Ga. Tech Small Game update
        (also known as The Leather Pear Game)


 Well folx, after 8 updates, here is how things are progressing thus far.


  All the countries broke within the first 24 hours with the exception of one.
A replacement player was quickly found, and all 15 countries are currently
present and accounted for.

  The nation of Dorsai was the first to build a ship and begin to explore the
world. Shortly after leaving the homeland, The Grey Captain was engaged in a
small skirmish with the peoples of the land of Risa, however; things seem to
have settled down there. 
 
  Several small battles have taken place between Revelstone and Ansalon. At lastreport from our Ansalonian buero, the forces of Revelstone had been ejected from
Ansalon territory. We are unsure of the status or relations between these two
nations at this time, and neither leader could be reached for comment. It has
been rumored that the Highlord of Ansalon is currently out of country in search
of more and unique leather goods to add to his wardrobe. There have also been
unconfirmed reports that the leaders of Revelstone have recently been seen
wearing bright yellow jerseys.

  Genius? News Network (G?NN) researchers have received information that there
may be a large scale war brewing between the nations of Dorsai and Revelstone.
Nothing has been confirmed yet, however; reliable sources have monitored what
has been classified as "hostile communications" between the two countries. We
will of course, be monitoring this situation closely; and will interrupt your
normal news reading should anything further develop here!
