    Precisionk, how did you know that I attacked you? HMM?

    Once you answer that question, I'll be glad to discuss this further.

    Because, Psycholarry1 told me via pm along with the how many of my men you killed.

    Ok then. I took an Aimed Shot at you because you were grandstanding and I was suspicious. I thought that PL1 would reveal how many men were killed in which regiments, and thus I would know which was you. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

    This doesn't comfort the fact that you widowed many hundreds of women over in Britain. It also points to traitordom.

    Everyone threatens the French. Hell, The Simpson's Game had an entire level where you had to pull down white flags to keep the French from surrendering.

    You know what! I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

    ...And this is why I left the Entente lines.

    EPIC REVEAL (Can't let the Germans get the only one of the day.)

    Greetings, fellow Allied Commanders

    I've been in contact with a few of you behind the scenes, but allow me to introduce myself to the rest of you. I am First Major Varcayn, Second in Command of the Allied Forces. More importantly, I am in charge of all allied intelligence. This grants me numerous special abilities.

    I won't go into detail on many of them, so as to limit the knowledge of the Central Powers, but I will explain one. At the start of the game and on each subsequent turn, I am given small intelligence briefings. Here are two examples:

    Counter-Intelligence reports that at least one enemy infiltrator has acquired forged papers.
    Our reconnaissance aircraft indicate the presence of a hostile batallion occupying our enemy's eastern trench.

    These two examples might not seem like much to go on, but I don't want to reveal how much we know about our enemy. Suffice to say the briefings I receive contain information on subjects such our enemy's equipment selections, map locations, the nationalities of those they were hiding amongst, and other clues that might indicate their true identity.

    Now as I'm sure you have already deduced, I basically have a giant logic puzzle on my hands. However it is also immensely useful, case in point, Meister convinced many of you to vote for Thorgot last night because by combining the information given to me by various Allied commanders with my stockpile of intelligence reports, the inescapable logical conclusion was that Thorgot had to be evil.

    But now we run in to a slight problem. I received a massive jumble of reports to start the game; more than I knew what to do with. However, on all subsequent turns, I don't seem to be getting that many.

    This brings us to the bottom line: I like logic puzzles, hell my stress relief mechanism consists of a Rubik's cube. But you know what will make this a hell of a lot easier? Your information. I need nationalities, equipment choices, map locations of you and anyone you can see. I also need to know if you're a neutral, disguised or not. Don't worry, we don't want to hunt you down, I've actually talked to a half allied half neutral player already, you can help us more than you think and our goals are surprisingly compatible. However, I have strong reason to believe that some of these intelligence reports condemn neutrals, and I don't want to waste time targeting neutrals when we could be targeting mutual enemies. Thus I ask all of you to do the following: send me your information. Do NOT discuss what you send with other players, as we need to cross reference what everyone says in order to find out if anyone is not being fully honest.

    For those of you that still don't trust me, I offer you this information:

    We have a seer. He seered Squashua last night, who must be some sort of enemy leader, because it revealed a literal truckload of information. Squashua is evil, but he is also immune to the vote, so don't waste your votes there. We have reason to believe other traitorous bastards are immune to the vote as well, and thus I would assume El Skid is merely trying to draw votes on to his immune traitorous ass.

    Instead, we know Thorgot is evil, so until future leads develop from the information you send me, vote for him, and for God's sake, shoot all three of the aforementioned on sight.

    More information to follow, including more specific attack and defense orders for a lot of you as information becomes available. We will hold the line. We will take down that artillery. We will crush the Central Powers.

    Good luck men.

    I applaud your epic reveal, sir. Not using size 99 font is indeed the hallmark of a true gentleman revealer.

    I also applaud your twisting of information. The entente scum indeed made a good choice when they selected you to your post... To lie in such an upright and straightforward fashion is worthy of the highest levels of espionage. What you have said is SO much more attractive and sounds SO much better than "Tell me all your secrets, we won't use them against you, honest".

    Neutral forces, the entente care nothing for your secondary win conditions. Work with the German forces, and you can still succeed when and if your primary win condition should fail.

    Oh and IF you should want to share any private information with me, you're welcome to do it. We on the north side of the map do not seek to require it of you up front, because we're not going to stab you in the back at the slightest provocation.

    My PM box is open to you, good sirs and madame.

    Yes, because the Triple Alliance / Central Powers really represented the honorable, honest, non-"here's a blank check Austria, why don't you go crush Serbia so I can draw England in to a war because their bigger navy hurts my feelings" side of the war.

    Isn't it obvious? His commander has ordered him to do it, just like he ordered him to charge the machine guns last night.

    Far be it from me to stand in the way of self-sacrificing french people, however.
