I'd like to remind the Tsar that half of his Black Sea Fleet- which would be his primary unit to attack the Ottomans- is now in the Sultan's hands. He should consider that he is in a position of weakness if he were to intervene on behalf of Bulgaria... which I urge him not to do, as I was rather enjoying peace!

While I applaud the newfound sentiments of the President in favor of peace, I do hope this does not prove a passing fancy on his part.  It would be a shame if he decides to intervene in a war that the Porte should be able to easily manage on its own considering the weakened state of Russia due to its exhaustion from war.  The Turks should be able to subdue the Bulgars on their own and wrest land from them without any accomplices.

Our American friends has made a gesture. They offered to provide a naval help, mostly of logistic nature, given our fleet is just being reconstructed (courtesy to the British when we weren't friends yet ). We weren't asking for this aid, since we value our alliance too much to ask for too much, but once offered, it would be extremely impolite to refuse.

There are no and will not be any American troops on the ground because, as the Senator rightly put, we can handle Bulgarians alone.

Anyway, when can we expect the next phase?

Later today, hopefully, I still have to clear a few issues regarding Austria and Germany.

OOC: Aren't Ceuta and Melilla Spanish?

My mistake, it has been corrected!

Damn remainders of the Spanish Empire! Still confusing us

When will Cranberry be back to take control of Germany?

I can see what is your intention

I have the 20 PM limitation. I will answer to you tomorrow.

Same here, lol.

Hay/LaFollette 1904!

I'd say "endorsed", but then Democrats would screem bloody murder about the Sublime Porte trying to influence the election, lol.

I just like "hue" too much, lol.

I think it's much fairer to have either GM or AGM speaking for minor countries, rather than allowing players to play more than one country.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Oh... Well that's disheartening.

Once again I missed the whole thing.

Now, THAT is dishearting.

It was a Game of Thrones meme I made up on one of those make your own meme sites. It was Robert Baratheon sitting there and it said "Start the damn turn before I piss myself".

I share this statement fully.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Sign it already, you sage-master Tsar-lovers.

Yeah, seriously. Snowstalker was very quick to sign other peace treaties.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Alas, the United States is not located on a diffrent planet. America is more safer by being a part of the international community than risking an isolation.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Spare us your bulls**t, Snowstalker. You were obviously trying to delay your defeat by stopping the game.

Geez, you are so transparent it's laughable.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Thank you, Lumine

Snowstalker, honestly, you're not going to get a better deal. Germany's determination is very clear and you don't have much leverage.

And btw, I did message you some time ago and said I can try to help you two negotiate a deal, but you ignored me, so I'm simply done. We are at peace, so I won't declare war on you, but I will give every diplomatic and political support to my German allies I can.

I don't remember receiving a message like that.

I'm going to give you a benefit of bad memory

Because I legitimately thought about the issue and changed my mind because I believe the proposal is unfeasible? I don't see the problem with this.

Maybe you should have think over the proposal first before making saying a damn "OK"?

How can we take you seriously?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

OOC: It looks like we're heading to a full-on Russian collapse if negotiations continue as they are. A revolution come early?

OOc: I would be extremely surprised if there is a revolution.

BTW, I still got the 20Pm/limit, I will answer you to tomorrow. I will go to bed, good night to all the players.

OOC: Last told there was minority unrest, gunfights, public executions, and rumors of a mass strike in the works.

OOC: Given how unpredictable this game is, nobody knows what's gonna happen

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Aaaand we might just get a last-minute compromise. I'm sure the negotiations can spill over into the next turn though.

Another days of delay. Great...

No delay. This is in regards to the compromise idea I sent to you.

Ah, ok.

When can we expect phase results (since it's been quite long)?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Lumine, I said before and I say now you're doing a wonderful job. And ungrateful one too, since running the whole world is solely up to you. Even with your skills and knowledge, it's hard to manage alone, especially since you have a real life too. I certainly wouldn't be able to do half the job you're doing now.

The whole AH business was nobody's fault. The situation when we have an inactive official player and active caretaker had to cause problems and confusion.

I think an active Assistant GM can solve most of our problems.
