Bonus points for Discord PMs instead of here..


MOSW amd TMOSW were obviously England and France. A mod that wasn't in the game can fill in the blanks.

I've received permission from EMC to host this game. I will not join again either way.

The next iteration will be invite-only. PM me if you'd like to join and I will select the participants. If you fear I wouldn't select you, send me a pitch. You have less than 48 hours to apply.

As dumpster fire as this was, I do have to say, in hindsight it's amusing watching MOSW talking to TMOSW, hah

Join the new game and your ship won't be half-sunk when you start!

It is. Very impressed with this new French player! Well done, Anlari.

That said, this game no longer interests me. MOSW and I had a great thing going where he was successfully acting as me. It's a shame that I failed to pick up who he was, and when I finally figured out he had to be England his moves made it really difficult for me to keep up the ruse. It was fun though. But that is lost so I'm gone.

I've asked for a Cancel, or to be replaced.

Those that suspected the DMZs were all a ruse to just keep Galicia open, were correct.
Oh, so you were Austria?

Oh, dear. He got banned lol.

I'm sorry to all the players! My choices in semi-running this game has led to a distinctly less fun game experience, especially when it could've been so much better.

France, where were you when I needed a reasonable and talented French ally at the beginning of the game? Your effort is certainly a breath of fresh air here.

As a gesture of good will, I will disband my fleet in EC and build an army. I am not a threat to you and I would be willing to cooperate on invading Germany.
If I weren't Germany I would be so happy to see this. This is the best press for France yet. It might even be the best press of the game, depending on if England wants to make enemies with Germany or get gains from France.

My gesture of good will to England is a double army build and supports for your moves against France and Russia. Remember that France can't help you against Russia, and if you anger me I can always support Russia against you in return.
I have read a bit more of the past press, and want to applaud Germany for being a formidable foe and a wily diplomat by positioning themselves as the coordinator of attacks against me. This has allowed them to maneuver England and Italy into positions that are advantageous to Germany. German units in Mar and Sweden, while England and Italy are yet to get anything out of this alliance.

Sure, Germany can promise to build armies, but isn't England interested in Belgium and Brest? German armies are as much a threat to those positions as fleets. They are already in Marseilles, and will be in Burgundy and Paris by next year if England doesn't change course. From there it takes only another year to encircle and take Brest and/or Belgium. England might think this is just speculation, but once France is eliminated, Germany will have to choose between Italy and England. And I am sure relying on Italian fleets to secure the western flank would seem like a good idea.

Last but not least: It is true that I might not be able to help England against Russia, other than by securing their southern flank. But would Russia really cooperate with Germany while Germany holds Sweden? More importantly, Russia seems to be focused on Austria, while being on track to lose Norway and SPT in the north. Perhaps Russia could be persuaded to give up Norway peacefully, and help England into Denmark, in exchange of keeping SPT and taking Sweden and Berlin? England could also gain Netherlands and Kiel out of a three way alliance against Germany. Due to my current position of weakness, I would only ask for Marseilles and Munich, and commit not to building fleets in the north.

England: In case the extent of my gesture of good will is not clear, please note that I could have retreated to Wales, which would have guaranteed me to take Lvp in the next turn, and become a significant nuisance afterwards. This would have been great for Germany of course - they already got Sweden, and know that you are potential future foe, so any delay you would have in your future advances serves them well.
