I can see what is your intention

[windjammer]

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

Hay/LaFollette 1904!

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

We'd scream, but not bloody murder as if we were British aristocrats.

I just like "hue" too much, lol.

Well, I would have loved to propose this idea by PM, but, once again, I got the 20 PM limit xD.

So, as all of you probably know, I will soon die, and will soon just be Assistant GM (after having been the most powerful man in the world, running two Empires hehe). The map will basically be completely transformed, and in my vision of what Europe should have been at this time.

What I will propose you is to reform the office of Assistant GM. Before, I wouldn't say I was inactive because when Lumine asked me something, I always did the work. But I didn't have a lot of things to do.

So what, according to me, the Assistant GM should do:
-Still playing the minor powers (Denmark soon, I would have been Bulgaria if I weren't the leader of AH and Germany as well)
-Still helping Lumine for his turn (giving my advice,..)
-But be a "special adviser" for basically all players (even Russia, that's a bit hilarious given the war haha). I have really thought about the new Europe that will emerge after the war, and I think I have many ideas that could be interesting for the players. And if they want to know something they do'nt know, I could answer make the research for them,...

So what do you think about that?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

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.

[Lumine]

I pretty much agree with Windjammer's suggestions, and I will post the next turn as soon as the peace deal is signed by both parts.

Dr. Cynic - I had to delete your post (which was immediately before this one) as a precaution as the image link you used was apparently flagging malware warnings in Chrome.

[Dr. Cynic]

Oh... Well that's disheartening.

[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.

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

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

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The delays in reaching a final peace settlement to bring the Russian War might well have been averted had there been a major power neutral to the conflict to help broker a treaty.  Playing such a role would certainly have gained whichever nation that helped restore peace to the world much respect.  A country that others trust to help impartially resolve their disputes would have influence with which to shape the world in the way it desires. It also would gain prosperity by being a country all the world wants to trade with even as their disputes with other countries lead them to restrict or ban trade with their adversaries.  The United States was well on its way to being that country, yet President McKinley and Secretary Hay threw that unique advantage away in search of military glory.  Rather than remake the world to be more like America, the Republicans have sought to remake America into just another imperial power.  I urge the American people to reclaim American exceptionalism and relight the beacon of peace and prosperity of our city on a hill by voting Democratic this November.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

The way we become the world's leading nation is not by isolating ourselves.... had we not upheld our duties as an ally, we would rightfully be the laughing stock at the world. The Democrats enjoy poking fun at me for being friendly with Sultans, Emperors, Prime Ministers, Kaisers, and Kings....but if they were in charge, you'd have a President who was not a part of global dialogue and that would be more damaging to America then any thing else

[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.

[windjammer]

So will the war continue?
There is no way I can accept Snowstalker's plan:

This map is definitely terrible for AH:
-AH gets new minorities, additional tensions.
-The borders would be indefendable
-and Snowstalker would be able to recreate the Orthodox League really soon, because they would stay independent countries.


Here was my plan, plan that Snowstalker agreed before changing his mind (that's why we ceased fire, I wouldn't have accepted to cease fire for Ukraine's parts)/


Here was my plan:

Seriously,
This plan was fair and generous for Russia. Russia saved face. And the minority problems in the Balkans is resolved, because AH would be happy to have resolved the problems, and Serbia; Montenegro would be happy to finally get their autonomy.

And experts would guarantee that...

[Cranberry]

Popping in to say that I will again be playing as Germany from next turn on. Windjammer will lead my armies though until a peace contract is made.
