Balance of Power - The Great Russian War (1903-1904) (The End)

[windjammer]

We are protecting an established, fully independent ally. That we are doing so is not stubbornness but loyalty. Serbia poses no threat to Austria unless one of their allies is invaded by Austria, and how would annexing hostile Serbs make Austria more loyal? They would resist until you killed every last one.

Yes, and by being loyal, you're definitely irrational. Your country will fall if you continue the war.

You have basically no diplomatic support as well.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Negotiating with the Teutons has been as effective as arguing with a brick wall; note their utter disregard of why annexing Serbia would be harmful to Austria. Their total intransigence is what is continuing this war; they want nothing less than to murder every Slavic man, woman, and child and are only pushing further and further on that goal.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Let's be reasonable here. Russia simply cannot excercise it's former influence on the Balkans with being so close to collapse. We all know Germany won't stand for it. You can repeat your point, but there is nothing you can back it up with. Pure white noise, that's all.

If your goal is to go down in a dramatic fashion be my guest. The Ottomans will sit comfortably and enjoy the spectacle. But if you wish to continue, then accepting the German terms (that are basically the same for a long time) is your only option.

This is as hysterical as baseless. The Poles, who are without Slavic, has clearly backed Germany against their Russian opressors.

[windjammer]

I won't post anymore until the next results.

I want to thank Kalwejt for his support.

And no, Ii don't want to murder the "Slaves".

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

The Tsar's hysterical behavior only shows the world he has suffered a mental breakdown and is therefore medically unfit to exercises his authority.

There is no other option but to recognize that the Tsar is incapacitated and wait for anyone, who is really in charge in Petrograd, to speak of Russia's behalf.

Ottoman Empire's out.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

An en masse murder of our people would be the only way Germany could impose its unreasonable peace terms and the only way that an Austrian annexation of Serbia could be feasible. Nor are we asking for total domination of the Balkans; only the survival of Montenegro, Serbia, and Romania as independent states.

[windjammer]

Just to say peace will probably be signed.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

We have indeed made more progress in Russo-German negotiations and peace should be signed within the next few (real-life) days.

[windjammer]

There are only details that should be treated. But seriously, we have found a compromise on every issue.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

We will unfreeze our relations as soon as the peace is signed.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

It's a goddamn miracle.

[Dr. Cynic]

Holy hell, I think I may have a stroke and die!

Oh wait... Oh dear...

Letter from His Majesty the Sultan to Ferdinand of Bulgaria:

Inhuman half-breed dog, skilled in intrigues and deceit! You possessed all this wealth and lands, and denied it to your lord the Sultan? And now, with all your intrigues and immense treachery, which you have been weaving since youth, you are trying to deceive me and avoid that fate you deserve. Since God saw it fit to enslave you and all the others to me, what are you trying to accomplish here with your chattering, criminal? Impious man, usurper of Sofia and thief of Rumelia. We have not forgot, not shall we ever forgive, your betrayal against your Lord and the God almighty. Primarily we order you to await us in your residence city of Sofia so that We can decapitate You. We will eradicate you and all your poisoned blood, more related to a snake than a man. Your deceiving clan will be exposed to the most atrocious tortures before put to an end in the most ignominious way imaginable. We shall take your women for our pleasure, which is still more honorable than belonging to such a descendant of wild goats as you. Now, we shall end this declaration, because we feel extremely horny and therefore are in need to visit our Harem.


x Abdul Hamid II


In the Ottoman diplomatic language it basically translates as "Come on, dude, we can still come together".

I hear the Zaporozhian Host will be suing the Sultan for plagiarism.

Actually, my friend, it was based on Mehmed IV's letter to Emperor Leopold and Mehmed II's final response to Loukas Notaras.

I did not accue the Bulgarian forces of eating devil's turd

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Just sign that bloody peace already

Btw, technically you haven't announced a ceasefire, so the war continues.

NO,

Yep but seriously,
We have finally reached a compromise, and it took really long time, some hysterical comments (THE TEUTONS WILL KILL EVERY SLAVE BLABLABLA), so seriously, if we can avoid anything that could break the compromise

Dude, I just think, since peace is not yet signed, it may be better to declare a ceasefire at least. How does that break your deal with Russia?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

The Orthodox League hereby declares a ceasefire against the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires pending upon an Austro-German declaration in kind, to allow the finalizing of peace negotiations.

[windjammer]

The German Empire and AH declare the ceasefire as well.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

We have been just notified that Petrograd had refused, despite earlier declaration, to sign the peace treaty.

If this information is true, then we must strongly condemn Russian deception and declare that we will seriously consider fulfilling our obligations to Germany.
