The Thirty Years War [Concluded]

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I gave the swiss 10 grand I sure as heck want that back.

bah, Over the course of this game I have given out about 20,000 (or so.... Not sure exactly) in gifts and loans. Name your country I have probably given them money. And you know what, I have not asked for a single cent back!

10 grand, nice. I only gave him 3 grand. but this is irrelevant

Should I open diplomatic channels via PM to talk about what we all need from this war? Atpg has made his needs clear. but might as well talk about it. I will send the PM out. (BTW I plan on talking IC, I have not been able to act like James enough. More fun this way )

[Splitpersonality]

Name your country I have probably given them money.

Poland

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Poland

......... Nobody likes a show off............


nah good point, No, Poland has not needed any of my help..... I am not so sure about Lithuania though, what with the huge civil war going on

[Double A]

How come I didn't get any money from you?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

How come I didn't get any money from you?

Because you have twice my hexes. You don't need any help Heathen.


BTW Ibn, how do you feel about us writing stories about are nations? I realize most people won't do it, but as a throne Roomer at heart I feel like fleshing my people and king out. Albeit with my usually weak and grammar-less fare .

[Askthepizzaguy]

Indeed. As you guys can see, I'm up to my eyeballs in debt. France dug a big hole, and unfortunately filling it will be expensive. Not much I can do about that, my life was kinda on the line a couple rounds ago, and now I have a big fat army to feed and loans to repay.

I would be happy to assist the Swiss in paying back their debts if they have gone the way of a more peaceful solution. At least in part, not in whole

Your assistance will be most appreciated if the French can be persuaded to leave us in peace and at a loss of territory, which I am sure will happen just as soon as pigs write poetry.

Seriously, it will take a lot of passing the pot around to pay for the mess France made. But I'm reasonable enough to say peace is possible.

Who said I needed it?

[Csargo]

You guys are so silly. I'm down here protecting the world from tyranny, while everyone else is goofing off with France.

[Greyblades]

Hey ATPG, I didnt mean I wanted it back from you, no, I intend to collect my payment straight from France's coffers or in her land if she is bankrupt by the time this is over.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Either way, I intend to see to it that you don't get ripped off.

IC- Unlike some, I don't betray my allies.

[scottishranger]

Swedens just chillin up north

[Greyblades]

Oh, Right, technically we're still at war. Um seeing as France is going under would you be willing to just call it a truce?

[Double A]

You guys are so silly. I'm down here protecting the world from tyranny, while everyone else is goofing off with France.

Oh come on I'm not that bad of a guy. I'm practically God once you see everything my way.

[scottishranger]

Oh, Right, technically we're still at war. Um seeing as France is going under would you be willing to just call it a truce?

surreeeee.

[Greyblades]

Sure as in I will call a truce, or sure as in I'm sarcastic?

[Double A]

Or sure as in surety?

[Beefy187]

You guys are so silly. I'm down here protecting the world from tyranny, while everyone else is goofing off with France.

Goofing off France? That sounds fun.. Can Russia join?

[Subotan]

all of my land grabs have been through diplomacy and fair rights.

RP, psh if i was role playing i wouldn't be expanding at all. id try to survive not win as we are supposed to. what you did was very anti- rp as well.

I was trying to correct a faulty game mechanic, via RPing.

Its logical because people realy hate it when you try to pick on the little guy, attacking little switzerland after it has finally gathered the courage to take a step out of it's mountains makes you look like more of an expansionistic evil empire than I do.

Hey, I said it was fine for it to expand of th mountains, but to take Framche-Comte and Italy? Too far man, too far.

As an OOC matter, it has been a pleasure hurling playful diplomatic barbs back and forth with you, Subotan. That, more than the actual war, has been interesting to me, and what I derive the most joy from in these games. I hope you don't feel unwelcome or picked on in any sort of out-of-character way.

Oh yeah, totally.

I am afraid I am much, much more heavily invested in this war, perhaps more than anyone else. I have debts to pay and such. I cannot stand for France to exist as a state unless I am fully compensated for my war costs, which are beyond extensive.

I also will not declare peace without the southeast third of France under Swiss protection. That's the price of conflict... a buffer zone. And not a neutral one either.

Essentially, it's just a matter of time before Switzerland's banks collapse and the war is won; by me.

everything good about that blades except the savoy thing.

Surrendering Savoy is stotally unacceptable. I inherited that land fair and square. However, Spain does have a claim to Framche Comte, so I may be willing to part with some of that, as well as relinquish my claim to the Kingdom of Italy..

this plan sounds eerily like the treaty of versailles. *cough ww2 is coming cough*

i know im not in the war but at the end plenty of saxon soldiers will have died......

No seriously I have no idea what you think I am planning, I think just castrating his army and splittiing his land is a pretty good plan as it is.

Greyblades is only saying this because I sent him a PM warning him that iof he attacked Vienna, he'd have to face an Austro-Franco Alliance.

EDIT: Btw Sweden, I'm totally cool with you making peace with France, and even Switzerland. However, I request that you come to my aid against England, and that you at least harass their shipping to prevent them from crossing the channel. I can pledge all of the North Sea Islands to you, should we fight together.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Not really. Your fortress should be busted down this turn, and then you will experience the full power of the dark side.

I hope Sweden does realize that if he chooses to do so I will feel obliged to call to the northern alliance for aid. Plus it is a bit late to stop me from crossing, I already have. If Sweden joins the war I will just have to bring a WHOLE world of hurt down on them. That I promise you


If you honestly think you can win this war then I am not sure what war you are watching
and come on he was going to GIVE you Framche-Comte and you just declared war and invaded for no good reason.


*sigh* I was going to try and find some way to keep you alive after this war, but that seems foolish to me now.

[Beskar]

I at least expected the Netherlands and England to stay neutral;

Have I declared war on you or actually threatened you in anyway (as of yet) ?

There is only one power I have, and it is one of your attackers.

Oh wait, I did, after you commented "no offense Netherlands, but I am going to invade you"

So yeah, who is to blame for that remark? It is not the Netherlands.

[Greyblades]

Greyblades is only saying this because I sent him a PM warning him that iof he attacked Vienna, he'd have to face an Austro-Franco Alliance.

What austria? I doubt that he wants to add Spain to his growing list of enemies.

[Csargo]

What austria? I doubt that he wants to add Spain to his growing list of enemies.

Growing list? I have no diplomatic relations with France, nor do I plan to have any in the future.

[Greyblades]

Oh wait I had forgotten bohemia had dropped out, Ok, "add spain to his shrinking list of enemies."

[Subotan]

It was a private PM to the Turk. I didn't want to make my intentions known to the rest of Europe, for various reasons.

EDIT: Franco-Austrian Alliance was the wrong word. French intervention, to help the Austrians would have been a better word.

[Greyblades]

Why would I attack Austria? I'm allready on thin ice with most of the other countries as it is, I'm not going to attack a neutral country for no reason, thats your shtick not mine.

[Centurion1]

saxony is just chilling at the moment, rebuilding our coffers.

i may have some minor diplomacy for you heathen so you can see my pm's lol

[Askthepizzaguy]

The swiss diplomat begins laughing so hard he falls out of his chair.

[Beskar]

Hey Ibn, any updates with the map or pm's?

[Double A]

Growing list? I have no diplomatic relations with France, nor do I plan to have any in the future.

There is one thing we can agree on.

It was a private PM to the Turk. I didn't want to make my intentions known to the rest of Europe, for various reasons.

Your threats are hollow and smell of old cheese.
