["Hi there, we should talk. I've communicated with Germany at this point and I've heard from England and keen to hear your strategic thoughts on the overall picture. Where can we draw a line of DMZs? Where (if anywhere) can we work together more proactively? It's reaching a bit, but if I ever have a spare fleet would it be useful as a loaner to your lineup in the north?", 'Hey hey.', 'To be honest, just got done with a day from hell, so not really thinking big picture at the moment yet.  Placeholder orders are more or less just a standard French opening, just starting to touch base with all the neighbors.', "I read you France, and sorry to hear about the apocalypse on earth. Pretty standard Italian opening as well, I'm neither more nervous or less of my neighbours than usual. \n\nOnce you get your press off, maybe lie down and listen to your favourite tunes? I know that helps me when I'm blue.", "Oh, I'm not blue - just worn out.  It's been a hectic week :)\nI think I'll stick close to a standard opening, get in position to drop a bunch of fleets"]
