HORTLUND GETS THE BOOT
The shortest game of Diplomacy in human history was played today over the internet. Seven players from the infamous "Aces high" bulletin board agreed to play a game earlier this week, and the game started this afternoon. Apparently one very disliked character known as "Hortlund" was included in the game. Upon realizing their misstake, the rest of the players ganged up on Hortlund in a display of unity never before seen in the history of Diplomacy. "It was beautiful", one of the players known as "Sandman" commented, "I have never seen anything like that, it was like...like all of Europe just came crashing down on him, and his tiny nation just imploded".
Diplomacy is otherwise known as a game of backstabbing and intrigue. This time however, the players just rid themselves of their obnoxious foe and then decided to end the game in a draw.
"It was the best thing to do really" said one participant known as "Airhead". "After we got rid of that weird Swedish dude, we all felt so happy and relieved that we decided to stop fighting and try to become friends instead." He stated to the gathered reporters. "Yes, we realized that once our real enemy was gone, we should all just try to get along and, you know, be friends" Another player, known as "banana" added.
"If only
Chimpy and his..."conservatives" could do the same thing in Iraq, you know, just say enough is enough, lets be friends we would all be in a happy place. But dubya is in the pocket of the "oil" business " The press conference was abruptly interrupted as someone named "weazel" started shouting. Before long he was whisked away by a suddenly appearing black helicopter, and everyone realized they didnt miss him or his ramblings at all.
Hortlund declined to comment on the story.
