- Autumn, 1914, Finished)
| Autumn, 1907: I didn't think of that, ofc, Convoy on | |
| Autumn, 1907: France... I'm not liking your movements there. | |
| Autumn, 1907: You violated the DMZ in North Sea, you moved into position you take Munich, and you attempted to take Venice. Austria, can I count on you to move against France with me? |
|
| Autumn, 1907: To be honest, I was expecting this. France has repeatedly ignored my press requests, so the stab was coming, to be sure. At this point, I would entertain getting Turkey on board with a draw possibility in order to stop the French solo attempt. But yes, Germany. I'm all in. |
|
| Autumn, 1907: Ofc I attempted to take Venice. I told Austria my intentions was the Italian Peninsula. Venice is part of that. Movements to Ruhr, etc. came because of your own movements - why the need to move to Holland and Denmark under complete radio silence? |
|
| Autumn, 1907: So, Austria can point out allhe wants about his requests. I had no need to point something out twice, to a player who never wanted to choose side. | |
| Autumn, 1907: You had moved to the north sea the prior year, I still haven't forgotten that and, when you did make that move, I was standing their with my pants down. Now I'm in position to defend better | |
| Autumn, 1907: That was actually a mistake - which the combined moves should be prove of -, I changes orders while drunk - whether you believe my word on this or not, I did not use it to my advantage. If I had wanted to stab you then and there, I'd move to Barents instead, Bel->Hol, EC- convoy to Den, Bur->Ruhr and Mars to Bur. I didn't thou... | |
| Autumn, 1907: And now I'm in a better position to defend. I won't attack you, just there to protect me | |
| Autumn, 1907: Well, we could argue the semantics of this all day. I could point out x, you point out y, and the whole endeavor devolves into finger pointing and wagging. And to what end, justify stabs or venting anger? The past is in the past. So let's deal with the present. France, are you attempting to solo? From the look of the board, that is what it appears to be. If so, Germany suggesting that we mobilize to stop you is certainly not outside the boundary of reasonable. And I would agree to work with Germany and Turkey to that end. If you aren't attempting to solo, then the onus is on you to back off. If you want the draw, you've already got your 12 SC's and taking anything more is simply selfish...and a solo attempt. |
|
| Spring, 1908: Turkey. I am ready to permanently cease all hostilities with you in order to prevent the French solo. My disband in Syria should indicate my intentions in this matter. I realize that we've been fighting for longer than we've been at peace, but I'm willing to set that all aside and fight to a draw. A draw that includes you. Are you with me? | |
| Spring, 1908: Hold on, Austria. If France doesn't advance to take any supply centers this year, is like to stick to the original threeway | |
| Spring, 1908: If I get to live, a draw would be fine with me | |
| Spring, 1908: Well, I'm going to assume ill intent from France until I hear and see otherwise. | |
| Autumn, 1908: I kinda want to just eliminate Russia and then call it a 4-way... thoughts? | |
| Autumn, 1908: I'm down with that. | |
| Autumn, 1908: Turkey fought a hell of a defensive game, and there would be no way for me to kill him off without external help. Plus he'd be necessary to stop a French solo. So yeah, I'm very cool with a 4WD. | |
| Autumn, 1908: Can't say no to a draw at this point | |
| Autumn, 1908: Well, Austria, I can get into Armenia so we could, hypothetically, stomp out Turkey's smoldering embers | |
| Autumn, 1908: I could help you convoy to Syria from Greece. | |
| Autumn, 1908: Again, it all depends on France. | |
| Autumn, 1908: And for now, I'll have to decline a convoy. | |
| Autumn, 1908: I wonder what Russia's plans are. I can tell you my plans for post-Russian control Russia. I shall tear down all the Stalin statues and erect statues of Otto Von Bismarck :) | |
| Autumn, 1908: Very well, France... the line was drawn and it has been crossed. | |
| Spring, 1909: Okay, so there it is. Turkey, despite the oddity of this last turn, we are going to fight France to a draw. I would invite you to return to the Aegean, and I will support you there. | |
| Spring, 1909: Thanks, Austria. I am somewhat worried about Germany | |
| Spring, 1909: I see what you mean. So Germany, would you be willing to lay off of Turkey in order to prevent the French solo? I need his fleets to help put pressure on the Ionian. | |
| Spring, 1909: I'm not touching Turkey, my full attention will be moving to mount an offense against France. The only unit I'll be leaving behind in Russia is the one in Sevastopol | |
| Spring, 1909: Looking forward to it Germany ;-) | |
| Spring, 1910: I hate having to issue press like this, especially since I believe it's probably understood, and it's really not my style. But I've already gotten into trouble this game with making assumptions on such things. Germany and Turkey, I am fully committed to stopping a French solo as best I can, and I believe that my current strength along the Italian border can accomplish this on my side of the world. However, in doing so, I'm forced to leave the Balkans undefended. If either of you decide to start taking my SC's, my ability to hold back France will erode. So in that case, I would begin actively supporting France into my centers and play Kingmaker. Obviously, I don't want to do that, because I want a draw, and have already voted as such. But if I can't get a draw, I would settle for a survival and a French win. Just so everyone knows my level of determination. |
|
| Spring, 1910: I believe that goes without saying for any allied supply center... I mean, that's the entire reason I've turned on France. | |
| Spring, 1911: Give up, France... | |
| Spring, 1911: Now, why would I do that? ;-) | |
| Autumn, 1911: We could of course play faster, if you guys want to get an ending soon. | |
| Autumn, 1911: Nah | |
| Autumn, 1911: Great - I feel it's quite an exciting game, where to strike next, strike at all - and will you be able to guess my moves, so I don't min ;-) | |
| Autumn, 1911: I think I need 1 more fleet | |
| Autumn, 1911: Nah, that's ship has sailed, Turkey ;-) | |
| Autumn, 1911: Maybe we can get you into Greece, Turkey. Let me think about that. | |
| Autumn, 1912: Well, gg | |
| Autumn, 1912: True that. Not much you guys can do to alter the outcome of the game now... | |
| Autumn, 1912: I could hack your account and force you to vote draw | |
| Autumn, 1912: But I don’t know how to hack... | |
| Autumn, 1912: Or use the force ;-) | |
| Autumn, 1913: Doesn't matter what happens now... | |
| Spring, 1914: What the hell, France | |
| Spring, 1914: Thought you guys wanted to play on ;-) | |
| Spring, 1914: I'm sick of this game | |
| Spring, 1914: Ah, OK, I'll end it this fall then. | |
| Germany why didn't you attempt to block me, by moving more unit's to Scandinavia? :-O |
