FORMAL APOLOGY -------------- >From the desk of His Royal Highness of the Italian Court to the non-Imperial Peoples of Agora, greetings. We deeply regret Our lapse of form and the breaking of the Oath of the Italian Monarch. The immediate circumstances were to aid in settling a bet over the publication of a "newspaper" issuing from the realm of Diplonomic. This scurrilous rag contained leaked diplomatic cables and caused some level of consternation and snickering within the Italian Diplomatic Corps. Worse, We were accused of being the perpetrator of the leaks, a situation We could not countenance. Still, to reveal Our part in the matter would have (at the time) put Us at a disadvantage of sorts, and discretion seemed like the better part of valor. Still, there was a bet made, and in the interests of eventual bet-settling We felt a statement should be logged as to be revealed later. And then, simply, time and events moved on, and everybody forgot (or seemed to). And We fear that His Royal Highness enjoyed a little too much wine following Eir (shared) victory, and also forgot. This was wholly Our error, for which we feel shame and remorse. However, We have been suitably and rightly chastised by our Russian allies in the matter, and therefore Italy offers eir stately, formal, and official apology for such a lapse. In order to set the matter right, show our ardent desire for self-improvement, and set the record firmly straight, we therefore can reveal the great and dread secret, which can be confirmed as the contents of the hash (remove the quotes first) - and this is also a statement that we make now, under our honor as Italians, Agorans, and under penalty of No Faking: "It's not me. Based on info I suspect Falsifian or English Team. -G." SHA-256 Hash: 2b6e3546b748a65531ceae83d69b41c59b4b809dbb4ee9fce4ccfdf3b7f69345 -------------- I expunge 2 blots from myself. -G.
