Napoleonic Empire - 5ppl - Free for All (Noll - Veqryn - Alex - Wheat - Gekk)

[Noll]

Round 2 Politics:

France propose:

Open Borders to the Ottomans

Ceasefire to Austro-Hungarian Prussians

Ceasefire to the Russians

[lexgreat]

Mother Russia agrees to a change of relations as proposed by France.

[wheatbeer]

The Ottoman Empire:

Accepts Open Borders with France

Offers Alliance to Russia

Offers Open Borders to Austria

[Gekkepop]

The United Kingdom offers alliance to Austria. By the way, it is allowed to make secret agreements (via PM) or must all discussion be public?

[Noll]

Yes you can obviously

[Veqryn]

So, Russia/Alex,

You reject my offers of keeping our forces back from each other, and leaving a line of neutrals between us.

You put a factory close to our border, and move your general towards my border.

Instead of attacking either either north or south, towards Finland or towards Persia like most russian players, you send ALL your forces west.  You even take the neutral guarding and bordering Prussia and then back it up with cav and all your forces in range.

It is obvious that you mean to attack me.

So stop playing around and declare your intentions against me.

[lexgreat]

I re-iterate what I sent you in private: As long as you dont attack any Russian territories, including conquered neutrals, you wont see an attack from me on either original or conquered-neutral Austrian territories. If you want to escalate my neutral grab (Russia has not too many “cheap options”) into war, please feel free to do so. I should be able to concentrate exclusively on you.

Last time I checked, Russia was a souvereign state, so where the Tzar, in his infinite wisdom, sends his men, is for Russia to decide, not for a Habsburg in far away Vienna. Finland and or Persia will be dealt with in time, but as the Tzar so generously offered, Finland is as much yours as you told us it is his. Surely the motivation behind your concern for an improvement in the government of those savages is not a denuded border and a free back for your imperialistic policies towards venerable European neighbours. So dont send us chasing far off Persians while you enrich yourself with middle Europe, thereby shrinking buffer zones that you, on the other side of your Empire, find so convenient.

War or peace with Mother Russia, it rests in your hands.

[Veqryn]

So send enough men to take the neutrals then.  But I can not ignore you sending ALL your men west.

Don’t wrap your intentions up in lies.

When any power sends all its men in one direction, it can only mean one thing.  Don’t play me for a fool.

[Veqryn]

Austria accepts open borders from Ottomans.

Austria would like to keep open borders with UK for now.

that is all for the arch duke

[lexgreat]

Paranoia is a useful trait, no doubt. Too bad we cannot all engage in a live Diplomacy game :)
But you better have a look again, especially on my cavaly up north. All of them positioned to attack Karelia OR Koenigsberg. Same is true for the South / Astrakahn. Dont blame me if they will be ordered West instead of North, blame your own (as of yet future) respective action.

This discussion has gone far enough, no more replies. You will decide peace or war, and you will be the aggressor if the latter, plainly to see for all.

[Noll]

We need answers from Austria and Russia to complete the political actions:

France propose ceasefire with Austria.

Ottoman propose alliance with Russia.

[Veqryn]

negative on ceasefire

[lexgreat]

Sorry, replied already but must have been aS pm. Ottoman offer accepted.

[Noll]

Political action done.

PS: RUSSIA and OTTOMANS can’t be allies if they weren’t with OPEN BORDERS round prior. So I’ve just put you two on OPEN BORDERS status for now.
