Last turn, TMOSW was impersonating France, but I guess now they'll have to find yet another country (Turkey, maybe?).

I don’t think I will! I think Claesar must be England, considering how much they want me to get out of there.Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 11:36 amLast turn, TMOSW was impersonating France, but I guess now they'll have to find yet another country (Turkey, maybe?).
We'll see who's France from the moves this turn! If Squigs thinks it's you, he'll stab. If he understands it's me, he would be wise not to.The Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 12:41 pmI don’t think I will!

Germany: I will accept your offer of working against England. As such, I will be moving Bur-Bel. If you attack Bur or bounce me in Bel though, all bets are off of course.
England: Sorry.
I like Claesar France more, because otherwise I probably have him as an immediate neighbor and I'm scared of such a possibility.The Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 12:41 pmI don’t think I will!

So that means that you do not think that Claesar is England? Why not?Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 12:58 pmI like Claesar France more, because otherwise I probably have him as an immediate neighbor and I'm scared of such a possibility.The Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 12:41 pmI don’t think I will!

If I was England, I'd be agreeing to Squigs' proposal while impersonating France. "Yes, I'll go to Belgium" should guarantee a German stab here.The Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 1:06 pmSo that means that you do not think that Claesar is England? Why not?

As I said already, I will proceed with a Lepanto unless (until) I get stabbed by Italy. Nice to see the last remaining position filled in, thoughThe Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 5:43 pmWell, If I’ve been kicked out of France, I guess I’ll head to turkey and do press for them. Until someone else comes along anyway.
Austria: We are in a good position to go against Russia, but I don’t know how much I can trust you as long as you are in Greece and Serbia. If you are willing to let me take one of those, I would be more willing to talk.
Russia: I’ll get back to you after seeing what Austria does. For now, Armenia is a DMZ.
So be it.Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 5:52 pmAs I said already, I will proceed with a Lepanto unless (until) I get stabbed by Italy. Nice to see the last remaining position filled in, though
A Ber doesn't attack England though either. You have yet to show me a reason that a Berlin build is better than a Munich build. Remember that France moved into Bur last phase, towards me, when I said I was letting it be. Building a unit in Munich to protect that isn't a declaration of war on France.Claesar wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 10:32 amI gave you a chance to be honest, but this is just utter garbage. Munich is not the best tactically. How does A Mun attack England? You made the most aggressive build towards me possible. If I follow your ridiculous advice and move to Belgium, I'll be unable to defend Mar/Par when you move into Bur behind me.Squigs44 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 8:59 amI find it difficult to believe you are France, but I suppose it is possible.
I also find it difficult to believe that you actually think I stabbed France by building A Munich, as it is tactically better than Berlin in every way offensive and defensive.
I also find it hard to believe that France would back off of England after building a Fleet in Brest.
But hey, whatever you need to say to throw England off works for me, so long as France is sensible at the end of the day.
My offer was fair, but I'm reconsidering now.
Excellent. I'm glad to hear this. Let's permanently silence the silent Turk.Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 12:52 amWinter doesn't seem to be a period of very intense negotiations. Hopefully thing will cheer up now.
To Italy: let's follow through with the Lepanto. I see that you are indeed a friend.
A Berlin build would've been better because you'd still have a French ally. And Berlin protects Munich just as well.Squigs44 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 6:38 pmA Ber doesn't attack England though either.

Building a unit in a home SC when another country has an army next to it is not an aggressive move and you know it. After all this press I have half a mind to actually force my way into Burgundy just to show you what aggressive looks like.Claesar wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 7:38 pmA Berlin build would've been better because you'd still have a French ally.

Yes, I moved into Burgundy last turn. I agree this is slightly anti-German. Doesn't warrant a hostile A Mun build though.
I was about to mention TFB's performance as Italy, hands down the most convincing of all up to this point, but I found out that he didn't, as I thought, predicted the move into Trieste, but explained it afterwards, and this was about the only clue I had against this statement.The Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 8:43 pmIt really seems to me that Claesar is really a country that has a vested interest in killing France. Think about it:
1. Leaving Bel to the Germans and Portugal to whoever wants it.
2. Bringing the Germans to the brink of war over a move that they explained and France could counter (i.e. If Germany brought A Mun-Bur, France could use Mar and the pushed back army to take it back).
Do these seem like things that France would do? I think Claesar is either England or Italy, and MOSW's analysis from earlier today supports that they are Italy.

Honestly I think he entirely knows what he's doing by moving to Trieste, which would explain why he continuously asked Austria to bounce either of Bud or Vie, hoping to sneak in behind.Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 9:16 pmI was about to mention TFB's performance as Italy, hands down the most convincing of all up to this point, but I found out that he didn't, as I thought, predicted the move into Trieste, but explained it afterwards, and this was about the only clue I had against this statement.The Minister of Silly Walks wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 8:43 pmIt really seems to me that Claesar is really a country that has a vested interest in killing France.

So yes, looks like we've figured this out.
However, as the Kaiser und Konig, I shall continue regarding TFB as the official representative of Italy for all diplomatic purposes until he states the contrary or Claesar makes a convincing argument about him really being Italy.
