04 Feb 14 UTC	Spring, 1901: Hi everyone, good luck and have fun!
13 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 1903: afk, so will be quiet for tomorrow as well.
15 Feb 14 UTC	Spring, 1904: Sorry for being relatively quiet the last couple of rounds, I am now back at home and able to devote more attention to the game.
18 Feb 14 UTC	Spring, 1905: Alas, poor Western Triple, I knew him.
20 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 1905: That was pretty obvious. But too early to be a smart move, you two (Russia and Turkey) are still too strong.
25 Feb 14 UTC	So, Italy and I are voting draw, just tossing it out there.
25 Feb 14 UTC	I meant England and I: Clarification.
25 Feb 14 UTC	I can see everyone's on this. I'm asking England what for, but will vote along if that's where things are headed.
25 Feb 14 UTC	I'm drawing because it will end in a four way anyways. We(France and I) can't take out Russia or turkey. You(Russia and turkey) can't break through.
25 Feb 14 UTC	I agree - well played everyone.
25 Feb 14 UTC	Of course, alone, I cannot do anything and must assent. But the idea that Russia has a chance is preposterous. He's completely screwed, all due respect. He cannot hold NWY or the Baltic coastal provinces against England. Turkey will never break through in the South. It's simply a question of time before England conquers Russia. I will accept a draw, but the idea we're drawing because we're evenly matched is ridiculous.
25 Feb 14 UTC	There's no way I could push into Russia. Yes he will loose the north, but after that he will stop me
25 Feb 14 UTC	i also feel the game is most likely headed for a draw, and have no intention of stabbing russia
25 Feb 14 UTC	France was right - this game shouldn't have been a draw. Turkey should have been persuaded to stab me. Failing that, England should have taken Norway and St P and then put intense pressure on me to get into Warsaw or Moscow. With it looking so bleak for me, as it surely would have done by then, Turkey could well have been induced to stab. But thanks for the game - I'm very relieved to have got away with that one. With all due respect, I really was completely screwed!
25 Feb 14 UTC	What rubbish. This was a sure thing. Don't start a game if all you're aiming to do is whack a few players and then draw to score some easy points. If Russia and Turkey wanted out they could give up. This is bull.

25 Feb 14 UTC	Thanks Russia for being forthright
25 Feb 14 UTC	Sorry France, was that a reply to what I was saying? Because the last thing I wanted to do was score some easy points. What worried me was that I would get defeated - I'm just glad to have got away with it...
25 Feb 14 UTC	Although don't get me wrong, I'll take the easy points ;)
25 Feb 14 UTC	Nope, we wrote our responses simultaneously. I'm relieved at least someone could see the poor sportsmanship in this draw.
25 Feb 14 UTC	Mwahahahahahaaa.
25 Feb 14 UTC	Just out of interest, were you heading towards a western triple in the early stages of this game? I was quite comprehensively baffled by all your apparent deception techniques. But then came the stab against Germany... I'm still confused by it to be honest.
25 Feb 14 UTC	Well, I wanted Germany in, but he responded in one-syllable words to complex messages and attempts at tactical coordination. He finally refused to help my armies forward and I was like... fuck this guy. So we took him out. and EVEN after that stab, we could've beaten you. I'm just amazed at England. Really hope I get to play against him in a future game and take his points because this was just rotten.
25 Feb 14 UTC	Yes. Yes. But a draw now means it would've lessened us fighting. I don't want to risk it
