I am also placing a claim on Italy.
I am placing a claim on Southern Netherlands.
Double A 21:13 10-30-2009
I place a claim on everything west of Baghdad.
...
Make claims? How does that work? Austria, as Emperor, you should do something about a rogue force attacking states of the Empire.
Greyblades 21:26 10-30-2009
By placing a claim we are simply telling everyone else "we want that land".
Askthepizzaguy 21:29 10-30-2009
Perhaps the king of Spain and I could negotiate our mutual claims on Italy and determine where our borders will be.
Greyblades 21:50 10-30-2009
I only want the Central Italy region so I'll let you have the venice and milan regions.
Askthepizzaguy 21:55 10-30-2009
If there are no other claims on Italy then it's a done deal.
Oh, and I'd claim the 2 hexes which comprise Corsica, as Spain has already claimed Sardinia.
Greyblades 22:03 10-30-2009
Only if it doesn't count as part of the central italy region.
Askthepizzaguy 22:05 10-30-2009
They shouldn't... that region is already massive by comparison to milan and venice. You'd think the host would have left room for Savoy to expand.

Dude didn't I already tell you I was going for Venice?
Greyblades 22:47 10-30-2009
Then go for it just dont expect me to care what happens when the two of you collide.
Double A 23:06 10-30-2009
Ok I won't. I can handle myself in those kind of situations. I'm a big boy now!
Centurion1 03:13 10-31-2009
saxony is awesome
that is all
Double A 03:28 10-31-2009
5 hexes + doing nothing = awesome?
Centurion1 03:33 10-31-2009
yeah we will see, heretic
Double A 04:18 10-31-2009
Sooner than you think, Infidel.

Please send your orders before that.
Also, if Subotan don't submit orders for France this turn too then we need someone to replace him.

Seriously, though, I would probably sit well with Venice/Milan.
maybe Karl could take over as France if Subotan does not show up
He's back now, he answered one of my PM's a few hours ago.

cool, then we are all set. Although Ibn may want to ask Karl what faction he wants. I think he said milan or venice.
Sorry guys, I've been away in London for a few days.

No one would see any aggression here as legitimate, so perhaps instead of threats (tactful and understated though they may be
) we could discuss what is troubling you. I do have grounds to be there as it was unclaimed territory, first come first served. And I didn't expand all the way south to get a port like I wanted to do, I expanded radially and in all directions, as you can see. It wasn't intended to slight you.
I warned the Swiss Confederation in a previous message that I would not be able to support them, should they decide to to expand in the direction of Italy. Not only did they do that, but they also secured the Franche-Comte from Spain! Both of these seem like moves to aggravate and annoy the King of France.

I am filled with sorrow to learn of the passing of my dear friend, the Duke of Savoy.It is to my understanding that along with the title of "Duke of Savoy", I will inherit a claim to the Kingdom of Italy. Therefore, I shall now be referred to as King of France, Italy and Navarre, Duke of Savoy and Heir of Charlemagne, a new title which I have just created in order to reflect the glory of the French Empire.

Whereas the King of Spain has forged his claim to that throne out of the wispy mists of brute force and greed, I have a legit and God-given claim to the rule of Italy. If you wish to continue to contest that claim, then it's war.

The same goes to you. Withdraw your forces both from Burgundy and from Northern Italy, or it's war.
EDIT:Could people put in their sigs what state they are, since it's confusing/annoying having to go back to the map on page 5 to work out who is who.

Or you could check the first post where all the players are listed?
Good to have you back.
Greyblades 17:45 10-31-2009
Shouldnt you be playing catchup instead of threatening your fellow Catholics France?
Askthepizzaguy 17:51 10-31-2009
So much for handing France the land I just got from Spain.
Way to treat your friends, France. I'll not be bullied by you or anyone else. Consider our alliance and trade rights terminated.
How exactly is attacking peaceful member states supposed to endear you to the world? The Swiss have finally gone to far. This is what years of whoring yourselves out to anyone with the money does to you.

saxony wishes to remind france they are in position to do ANYTHING as they need to pay off their war debts

Hey guys I'm going to be helping Ibn-Khaldun with the game now. If you could send all your diplomatic deals (alliances, trade deals, loans etc) to me I can forward a summary which will cut his workload and let the game flow more smoothly. You should send your orders (movement, recruitment, building etc) to I-K as usual and send me your diplomatic deals.
If you all could send me a list of your current deals as well as any new deals agreed for this phase I can make sure I-K has the correct set up for everybody. Cheers.
