I wanted to take the Ottoman Empire first, but... I feel adventurous tonight.

Brandenburg-Prussia please.

Because of my excellent track record as a responsible custodian of sacred religious sites whenever they've fallen under my control over the years in these games, I think it is only fitting that I pick The Ottoman Empire.  I've no doubt the Holy Land will fair well during my calm, peaceful, and thoroughly uneventful reign Evil

I can't possibly forsee anything going wrong.

Interesting to see the two major powers who would most likely come to a confrontation with the Ottomans (Spain and Austria) remain unclaimed. Spain is in a horrible position currently, and iirc Austria's position isn't amazing either.

Personally I'd still take Austria over Spain, since the whole "dynasty dying out" stuff is pretty bad and can result in sudden game over.

IRL Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki was being called "King-Poor thing", so the bar of expectations is pretty low here.

Well, I think getting Austria is more crucial than Spain at this stage.

That's probably why they haven't been picked yet lol

It's a game of chicken.

I would love to play as Austria, I've always been a Habsburg partisan at heart. Wink Purple heart

Granted! I suppose that means Dereich is now Spain. We’ll start tomorrow!

I don't think I'll be able to get the gameplay thread up until this evening (American time). Hopefully you haven't gone to bed by then Tongue.

Damn time difference.

No worries, I won't explode out of anticipation. I'm just really happy we're going to play Smiley

I seem to detect a distinct flavor of Persian incense in the air. Call me crazy but it kind of smells like trouble.

Can we get an extension till next weekend?  RL has been crazy busy

An extension to let me join in the first round would also be appreciated.

Are you guys trying to turn the first round into Iowa caucus?

(jk, nice to have you onboard, DKrol)

Too bad it's the 1600s. I'd love to have a cool news service.

Nothing new from me this turn, unless I'll have to reply to PMs.

Remember when Oldiesfreak signed a treaty that didn't concern him?


Actually yes.

You guys know what I really miss in these games? Ernest coming in and playing a side character like he did with William Jennings Bryan in the BoP.

OK, I guess I'm back as Austria, even though I hate a thought of having a weird lip.

I'm having really hard time focusing on the game, so I'm probably going to be a bit slow.
