Solmyr, that is a rather nice card - the Phillipines one.

In return for its play as an event, I will abandon Antwerp as long as you also agree not to attempt to revolt in Brussels.

I agree, you move your troops from Antwerp to Brussels (or wherever southwards you feel like), I will not touch Brussels. Preferably on your next impulse.

Played the event, you can add the treasure from it on your next play.

Message from Ottoman:
For CPs :

1-4/4 - Patronize artist.

Sinan heads to the +2 zone.  Berkut's up.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Played Rudolf as the event, moved troops out of Antwerp per agreement, assaulted and took Tunis. File sent.

Eliminate unrest with one major. Convert Nantes and Cognac.

Next Netherlands, a 6 plus six more.

4 major, 1 minor, 1 unrest. Change to 3 major, 2 minor to ignore unrest. Expand base to Antwerp and Lille with 2 majors, then convert Brussels with 3rd major and Mons with minor. Last minor is lost.

My file includes the English and French moves (as Max's file ignored the one from Viking). Habs up.

Ottomans sponsor a scientist for 4 with Spanish Fury.  On phone so no file.  To the Spanish to roll for my scientist then to play.

Spain: Play Card as Event
#91: 2 / Cipher Key
Choose one of these two options: (a) Take your Cipher Key marker and move it onto the "Informants Spying on You" box on another player's Power Card, or (b) remove all enemy cipher key markers from your own power card. While your Cipher Key is on another power, you gain the +1 Cryptography bonus against that power. This effect is not cumulative with the Cryptography science bonus.

[FAQ: It is legal to move your Cipher Key marker off one power's Power Card and directly onto a different power.]

Message from Spain:
Place Cipher key on England

86   2 / Polish Royal Election [MANDATORY]
End any Foreign Wars between the Holy Roman Empire and Poland. Then, Spain, France, and the Holy Roman (if a player power) have the option to play a card or treasure to advance their candidate for the Polish throne. Reveal all choices simultaneously. Each power playing a card/treasure adds its CP value to the roll of one die. Power with the highest total becomes King of Poland and receives 2 VP, as long as their total exceeds 5. If highest total is 5 or less, no VP awarded (Ivan the Terrible becomes King of Poland). Remove from deck after play. [FAQ: Mandatory Events may not be played for the election; home cards may be. In the case of a tie, France scores the 2 VP if they are one of the tied powers. If not the Holy Roman scores the VP.]

Suppressed a little heresy with the 2 CP.

I sent my card choice to Habbaku, Max, and Solmyr; I figure whoever's awake and around when Berkut and Viking have also sent their choices can resolve.

I'll make my play now as I'll be away until tomorrow again, most likely.

If Charles IX is still in the Young Royals pool or in an unresolved marriage, remove him from the game and dissolve any such marriage. Admin Rating: Save 1 card. Card Bonus: 1 extra card.
