The proposal to end the game fails. France and Turkey both suffer heavy losses this turn. Austria-Hungary gains three centers, but can only build one new unit.
Next deadline, for Winter 1913, is 21.10.2002, 12:00 GMT. If the retreating units are to be discarded, please let me know as soon as possible.

English A Budapest can retreat to Galicia.

to England: Oh well, you're getting a bit too
close to a solo, let me try and see if there's
anything left in this for me. I had to work with
you and give you the definite win like you have
now in order to have any chance to survive at
all, you just can't do it with a power around
your own size behind you that doesn't care about
the result. I would freely have given up a solo
to you if there was no other choice, but I can at
least give opposing you a shot now towards the
end. You're quite a worthy winner, but that
doesn't mean I won't at least have a shot at a
draw.
to France, Germany and Turkey: If either of you
want to be part of a draw, it's time to act now.
I'll be happy to help people hold a line against
England. Sure, for example Germany can choose to
side with England and give him a solo. There's
two possible outcomes on that - either Germany
gets eliminated trying, or Germany gets
eliminated through losing to solo. The only way
Germany can achieve something =other= than
elimination would be through stopping the English
solo. I realize I might be too late now, but it's
worth a shot. Clearly after Turkey's moves
earlier in the game, one would think it should be
possible to see why I have played as I have.
To all;
Sorry, no press as I am 'pressed' for time. The embassies will reopen when
life has resumed normal pace.
Silence? What should I do, beg? That's not likely. Maybe I should
continue to insult the German. And maybe the English should be grateful
I've insulted Germany. Blinded, he strikes at me. Either that or
Germany enjoys the bones you've thrown him...wait, what did you give up?
Kiel?
France to Germany:
Watch: A Lon to Hol; F Bel supporting. In two years England has grown
3 SCs and you've grown 2. He'll grow one this year and you one. At
this rate you won't even be the second strongest power to lose the game.
And if England loses, you lose. There's no second or third place,
puppy.
