I played like a dick. Sorry, but I was tired after the first. I understood SD to be in England, but I thought you to be in Italy.
When I was keeping you at south with Austria's help, waiting for you to draw, England canceled his draw vote and attacked France. It could have had two reasons: trying to win while France and I were keeping you confined, or trying to accelerate my and MM's defeat to draw. Either way, this didn't sound very good to me, and I went north to give an advise.
Unfortunately, this lead to my defeat but I was expecting it sooner or later since SD canceled his vote. I prefer defeat much more than to be tapped against someone for a third part's victory.
Sorry again, tired, and anyway I'm no match for SD (well, I don't think it's a surprise)
