Honestly, I am thinking of quitting. This entire fiasco has pretty much proved that i'm pretty terrible at these things and frankly, get too involved for it.

Naples was seriously in between a rock and a hard place, and you managed ok relatively to what cards you were dealt with.

I’d miss you greatly if you left. You’re a good pal and a smart player of the game, regardless of the hand being dealt.

If Spamage allows it, I will continue as Phillip of Naples.

That said, Phillip is going to be significantly less peaceable much more revanchist.

Of course, given both the abdication was voluntary and the heir is of your dynasty, you are more than welcome to continue as Naples Smiley

From one in-game demagogue to another, props to GOTFan for his speech.  I got a good laugh out of it (and I mean that as a compliment, at least half the point of in-game speeches is to be entertainingly OTT).  I didn’t think you had it in you Smiley

Philip is very much in "I-hate-everything-and-everyone-who-isn't-Russian-or-Balkan-or-North American." mode at the moment. He's also extremely Francophobic and very much attempting to create the school of Italian Irredentism. In fact, it's not a stretch to describe him as an Italian ultranationalist, but a strangely liberal one who support constitutional rights.

Due to personal concerns, I won’t have much time playing the game. I’m withdrawing.

Hey all,

   As most of you know, I’ve been on vacation abroad over the past two weeks. I got back on Saturday and have been rather busy since. As I get back into the swing of things it’s increasingly clear to me that I will be unable to continue hosting this iteration of Concert of Europe at this stage. Between work, training for my first marathon, several trips, and other commitments, this summer seems to be filling up rather fast. When this game started mid-February, my schedule looked quite different from how it is shaping up at present. I simply do not foresee myself having the requisite 20-25 hours per turn in order to keep moderating, writing prompts, and sorting through orders during the coming months.
   From the beginning I’ve been determined that if I am going to host these games, I was going to do it proper. Rather than gradually fading off and slowly missing deadlines I’ve set, something that I feel already began on my vacation, I would prefer to finish the game on a somewhat higher note. Given the major wars all have been mostly wrapped up or are clearly leaning one way (with only several exceptions) I feel like narrative-wise we are nearing a good place for an interlude.
   So here’s what I can do. If everyone sends me their aims and goals for the next 10-15 years as their nation (diplomatic, domestic, etc) in addition to more immediate strategy if relevant (such as ongoing fighting or open-ended issues) via PM or Discord over the next week or so, I will set to work on writing up an epilogue, closing up the loose ends, and setting the stage for any potential future iteration of the game. As with prior iterations, the epilogue will probably detail an overall global summary and then dive into the specifics of each nation over the late 1870s and 1880s.
   I realize some players may be disappointed and I apologize for the abrupt nature of this, but though these games are tremendously stimulating and a blast to host, they simply are normally tenable for about 3-5 months. When I think about where this world was all the way back in 1871 and look where the game has gone, I see how much truly has occurred. Some early game events feel practically ancient, in a demonstration of how much time has truly passed. It has been my pleasure to be an observer to some of the greatest creativity I’ve yet seen in the Concert of Europe series.

Wishing you all the best,
Spamage

In the interest of getting things moving, I will be focusing on posting the sign up thread. I can add a Balkans update at some point in the next week before the game commences.
