Austria-H;
Yeah, I knew you were a lying skunk, came as no surprise.
Ask yourself again why Turkey attacked you.
Ask again why Russia never trusted you.
I'm STILL scratchin my head as to why Italy let you eat him up the way he
did...
But ya know, I'm glad the pretense is over...
Let's rock and roll!
Germany;
Oh man...what a deal Austrias offering you NOW Germany.:)
"Die by my hands or die by his."
Sheesh, I'm amazed...but we've played this game long enough to know where
the foolhearty and the wise keep their money.
I know you never promised me a rosegarden, Herr Ober, but if you do right by
me and turn forces against the duplicitous Austrian I will consider a
two-way draw.
Hell, I'll let you be the leader in the attack(not like I have a choice),
but you will be the big gainer in SC's...but you have to act NOW before he
gets a chance to build those armies he's got in the 'hole'...I did my part
already and have kept him to only one build (was hoping for NONE but thats
how the cookie crumbles), What do you say?
I'll know by your moves next turn...
Turkey;
Sorry...I know hindsights 20-20, but maybe you can find solace in the fact
that I think you were totally right and I screwed up...I should have backed
Turkey wholeheartedly.
Maybe we can still stuff it in Austrias face...if you kept F Con, move on
Bul...
I will try to keep you in the game if interested but that move will help me.
France;
No, I don't expect you to beg. Discussion never equates that way with
me...wether I have the upper hand or not.
I would take offence if you thought so little of me.
But thats OK, I understand more than most the fire that takes hold of your
brow when things/people don't go your way.
I don't think I've thrown 'bones' at Germany...hell, he's gotten quite a
sweet deal from my perspective.
I wonder what would 'really' impress you?
'Course, you're probably just spouting off in the hopes of turning Germany
against me, and if THATS the case, well then I applaud the tenacity.:)
Germany to England:
Come after me if you wish but I am hoping that some
degree of anger at Austria will drive you after him
rather than me.
You will lose RUM so I suggest you move to fortify
SEV.
COnvoy to POR and have NWY and MOS bounce in STP. My
guess is France will move north. But hopefully you
built in LVP. I will not beg for my life as that's
not how I do things. I just ask you to refer to your
prior press and remind you of who has turned on you.
Oh, and forgive me, but, I told you so.
France:
Your press only serves to prove that you just don't
get it. That's why I'm giving it to you. Sometimes
there are bigger things than a solo. Most times not.
WIll I survive? I don't honestly know, BUT I will
outlast YOU and that's one of the things wanted to
do.
I think lasting to one of the final 3 in ANY game is
something that reflect's well on a player. Especially
among this crowd. Gotta love those Tarot cards!
Now, shut up and roll over, you're dead.
Austria:
Yup, I figured you would do this, although you should
have followed what I had outlined earlier. You will
not prevail. England needs an ally and he needs my
armies to take the point. Do I have a problem doing
that? Hell no. In an alliance ONE wins. If you
can't be the one to do that then you need to help the
one who can. An alliance succeeds if one of the
allies eats the other, or helps him to victory over the
enemy. Guess which one you are?
turkey to austria and england:
i suppose i could be easily eliminated by at least one of you, but let's try
this thing out...
what am i bid for the services of my fleet against the other party?
