I have yet to hear a reply from Germany on his war of aggression.
in any case, i plan to begin by reconquering my dishonorably stolen territory.
if we coordinate an attack rapidly and on all fronts, we will dismember the German regime before Christmas.

[A]

I hate all of you.
You are all as much BS'ers as the rest...

England, you dummy, france SAID he would take that action as a decleration of war... Yet you still moved there?

Turkey, I was never a lost cause... I only lost a SC because you and russia attacked me, if you hadn't and actually helped I would still be alive and kicking. What happened to letting me have serbia? I actually had an extra unit I could ahve sent to get it and make a good defense with but noooooooooooooooooooo.

Same with Russia, what ever happened to not getting involved except for Romania?


England,france and germany, LOL at you guys saying you care about me dying. You only care because your enemies got my territory.

[F]
I'm sure that we are all very distressed at your loss of sovereignty, Austria.
You have my condolences, and if it were up to my, you would still be very much alive.

[Italy]
Woah! Since when did saying "I would like to point out that Germany and England are pretty clearly allied to the detriment of Russia and France." mean "I hate you England and hope you burn"?!

Turkey, I did as you asked and built in Rome, and I was pleased to see you didn't build another fleet. I would like to see us put our differences aside, and start working together more fully. What do you say?

[E]

"I'm sure that we are all very distressed at your loss of sovereignty, Austria.
You have my condolences, and if it were up to my, you would still be very much alive."

I second that sentiment.

The tragedy of Austria's fall cannot be excused by the deceitful wordplay of the Sultan.

It was warmongering at its finest that caused the invasion of Austrian soil by the Russo-Turkish juggernaught. I do not particularly like the Italian occupation of Trieste, but at least he had a reason. Austria had all but declared his intention to move against Italy.


And to Italy then: If you are not the enemy of nation, where do you stand? If you wish to remain neutral in this fight I respect that decision, but it would be nice if you were more explicit.

And I cannot stress enough the danger you will be in if the Juggernaught becomes more successful.

[Turkey]
I would be very pleased by such an arrangement, Italy. I believe we have the groundwork for a strong working relationship between us.
Austria, Italy responded to your implied aggression against him, if England shall be believed in his statement above. Germany and England forced Russia to turn south to merely maintain his holdings, and it would be madness for me to allow my neighbors to grow without taking any steps to keep myself on even ground.
Also, your initial attempts to turn Russia against me were a bit annoying.

England, you're really not fooling anyone with your wolf-crying of "Juggernaut." Especially not while you and Germany attack France.

[T]
You know what? I have an idea.

Let's test the English and German commitments to peace.

I propose that all Eastern Powers will allow Austria to retake his home centers and Serbia in exchange for the restoration of Sweden to Russia and all French territories to France, as well as Western nonaggression towards the east.

What's it going to be?

[A]

:D

ILY Panda

[A] why the sudden mood swing though?

[Italy]
So... we want a 7 way draw again?

Also: over 400 messages and it's only spring of '03. We talk a lot. :D

[Turkey]

I'm testing England's resolve. If we can arrange it, I'll do it.

... In fact....

[Turkey]

There it is, everyone. I have submitted a Draw Vote.

Everyone who claims they feel bad for Austria's theoretical loss, claiming they would prevent it if they would - now is your chance.

Everyone who just wants peace - now is your chance.

[France]
I support the sultans well meaning and noble request.

[Turkey]
I'm glad to hear it.

I shall enjoy discovering if our English and German friends meant a word they said when they spoke of peace.

[F]
Indeed.

[A]

pfff wtf, I still have a chance to win, I won't draw till everyone else has

[T]
I lulled.

[Italy]
O.o

I was _joking_. I have almost no interest in a draw at all. Not yet. Also, I don't know why anyone feels bad for Austria. Yeah, it sucks that he got screwed over*, but that's what happens in this game. Fight it out to the bitter end, people. Are you really willing to give up a shot at a win for a weak 7 way draw? I think not.

On that note, Turkey, I would be most disappointed if your fleets happened to slip into both the Med and Aegean.





*sorry!

[T]
I understand that entirely, Italy. Keep in mind, though, I did that when I saw you suddenly grab Ionian, contrary to our agreement. I figure I'll leave it in Smyrna or Syria.

What I really want to see is, will England follow through on his claims of desiring peace?

Let's see it, England. And don't try to back out by pointing at Italy. Come on.

[Italy]
I know, and that was the reason I let you decide where I built. I'm sure you also understand the reason I remained in Ionian... it was the only way to ensure the capture of Trieste. This turn I will move my fleet out. I don't know where to yet, but it won't be east. Furthermore, I will bounce in the Ionian with Apulia and Aegean. Sound ok?

Sounds good? one second, let me check the game.

[t]
So, I'm not particularly inclined to poke at Ionian right now - Aegean is needed to convoy from Smyrna to Greece to free it up for Con to move there. So, uh. Yeah.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm content with a draw at this point.

[t]
I see the Tsar is willing to draw as well! I most pleasing development.

I propose that if those who want the draw outnumber those who refuse to, we systematically annihilate anyone who refuses while keeping our draw votes in.

[Italy]
You know how everyone has been hinting at the possibility of a juggernaut? That sure sounds like one to me.

[E]

We do want peace Turkey, we really really want it.

But we want the right peace.

You just said anyone who refused peace would be systematically anhiliated. My two friends are Germany (who is still MIA :( ) and Italy.

Both of them, including Austria momentarily, have stated or implied thier intention not to draw.

Therefore, with a heavy heart I declare I cannot condone thier destruction by the juggernaught.

I will fight with my friends untils the bitter end, or until they a) agree to a draw or b) Demonstrate ill will or unreasonable attitudes.


None of those have happened yet. I appreciate your sentiment though.

[France]
who, exactly, are your friends?

{g}
I have yet to hear a convincing argument for why we should draw at the moment. I am content to continue the battle for the time being. I am not willing to pander to the baseless masses.

@E. I affirm our continued friendship.

You guys keep saying me and Turkey have a juggernaut going. Seriously? How stupid would we have to be to have a juggernaut in a public press game...which makes it impossible to do successfully. All we've done is a DMZ and NAP, oh yeah fear the war mongering Turks and Russians. Yet it was the Germans and English who launched the first attack on foreign soil in this game.
