F Greece retreats to the Aegean Sea.
...to Turkey;
Welp...what can I say...Austrias actions speak louder than any words I could
use to retort. Theres no 'kindness' in THAT heart. A wise man once said
'better to live and fight another day' :)
...to Russia/Turkey;
When are you two gonna wise up??? Every time one of you makes a move on the
other with Austrias help who is it that actually sees gains from it all.
Soon, there won't be anything left for you guys to decide.
...to France;
I'm not exactly sure WHAT your doing...???
Care to edify me?
S'okay, I can now bypass you on my way to Austria...but why you would want
to take this tack instead of going after the SC's yourself, is a little
beyond me.
???
...to Austria;
Soon you will have no one left who actually believes your trype.
Can you gain enough SC's to sustain yourself before that occurs?
We'll see.

austria -- you stabbed me back when i was wanting to attack russia, back
in 1902 (remember bulgaria and rumania were mine, originally? i do). that
was why i didn't give an "alliance" between us a chance; because YOU!!!!!!
attacked ME!!!!!!, not vice versa. so shut the heck up about me giving you
chances. you had your chance this past spring, and you have your one last
and final chance this fall, don't screw it up. or i will help england to
the solo you're threatening to prevent me from helping you to.
i want to support YOU into moscow. i want sevastapol for my own
protection, not for any other reason. YOU can have rumania. YOU can have
naples and tunis. all i wanted was greece, bulgaria, and sevastapol, and
an ally i could trust to actually move competently and communicate, instead
of someone who never writes, never moves correctly, and is only surviving
right now because you're afraid england will finish him off, and england's
afraid you'll finish him off. i'm offering all but one center of russia to
you. a center which is closer to all three of my centers than it is to
yours. i'm willing to let you keep rumania (which, as i pointed out, was
mine originally!)
so i will try it one more time. i am supporting serbia to rumania. i am
also supporting rumania to hold, and cutting sevastapol. which means the
only way for you to take rumania is to support with budapest, and attack
with serbia.
i also expect you to honour this agreement (do you even have any honour, i
ask myself now? you've stabbed me, you've stabbed italy, and the only
person to stab you, you side with! honour or brains, perhaps one of these
is lacking? actually, i don't believe this, which is why you're getting
this chance), by allowing me to continue my ownership of greece. of
course, you are welcome to continue to help the mute, but at some point the
mute will one again stab you, when he feels threatened by your mere
existence.
so you choose. someone who's willing to play junior partner in your
alliance -- i only want 5 centers! -- or someone who's unpredictable and
never communicates. your choice. i made mine last fall, and i've been
forced to regret it ever since, by the person i chose. damn, now i know
how battered women feel.
