Napoleonic FFA - 8players

[pr0c3ss]

ceasefire with spain accepted

[moilami]

The Emperor of Austria, Franz I, proposes:

• cease fire with French Republic
• open borders with Kingdom of England
• open borders with Ottoman Empire

[Witt]

Am I right in saying Sweden was at war with UK, Austria(now Open Borders), the Turk and Russia? We are waiting on 3 replies still.
Then you go Moilami.

You are quite right. Quite a warmonger for such small nation xD

[Witt]

Do you know the answer: can Sweden only ask you for Open Borders or is it a Ceasefire?
I have played 2-3 hours by myself and am sure, following our Diplomacy, the PC was not offering Ceasefire as an option. Have I seen it wrong?
Can Sweden offer you one?

Yes it can. It can offer cease fire now and open borders next turn.

There is no restrictions in FFA how you make alliances or wage wars.

[Witt]

Thank you. Did not make sense to me. I must have done something wrong or misread the options.

[moilami]

There is three versions of Napoleonic Empires.

One 5 Player Free For All (FFA)
One 8 player Free For All (FFA)
One 8 player, which does have predetermined fixed alliances you can’t change ever.

We are playing 8 player non-balanced Napoleonic Empires, with free alliances, that is 8 player Free For All (FFA).

In FFA you can make alliances with anyone and wage war against anyone.

You maybe played non-FFA Napoleonic Empires, in which Sweden can’t make peace with Austria.

[Witt]

That could be it, thanks. 
I see you are here quite a bit. Do you work from home or are you lucky enough to use your phone at work? I am free all day, except my wife(the chef) and I have our 3 year old until 5pm when we go and work in our small restaurant 5 evenings a week(Tues-Sat).

[Guest]

i am a new player so if i make a mistake just let me no :oops:

[Witt]

Hi Kabloom. You have asked 4 countries for a ceasefire: Austria have accepted and we are waiting on the Turk, Russia and the UK to answer you.
I think we are doing fine. Ask Noll or Moilami for help as they have played before. Not sure of the others. My first time too, but should be straight forward as English is my first language.
Where are you from?

[Guest]

NEW YORK. a little town called peterboro with about a dozen houses.

[Witt]

Thanks. Wondered if you were in Europe. I know three of us are(Noll , Moilami and me).

I just this month got my degree. Now I am looking for full time work.

I have worked (and do work) part-time in home and not in home, but now because of that small baby I definetly want to work not at home. No peace here  :-D

So, if anyone want to hire a fresh Bachelor of Engineering with years of experience especially on GNU/Linux systems, then I am available  :-D I can do a lot of things already and learn to do even more.

@kabloom:

sweeden would like to be neutral
and russia

Russia agrees.

[Witt]

Who is a clever boy then!
I only hire girls between 16-18 who are studying “A” levels at college. It is a hard life!
My wife  used to be one of our 16 year old part time college girls.
You know how it is, one thing leads to another…
Needless to say, I am a lucky man.
Good luck. Might you need to leave your country for work? Would you?

xD You are very lucky then, but I can say I am very lucky too. Lady Luck has always looked fondly at me :D

I know it would be very very hard to make my wife move away from Finland, she is so relatives and family centric person. Anyway, there could be a very tiny chance for me to talk her to move abroad, if I would get a job worth it. And I am not talking about money, which has always been at best necessary evil for me and at other times irrelevant.

My respects by the for small business. I honour those who have their job and living on their hands. Good luck with your business too, and if I ever come to UK I want to come try your restaurant - and as a paying customer. I just hope you have some Real Ale or can at least tell me a pub serving one :D

[Witt]

I have a 30 seater place, so I only do bottles as I would be throwing half of the barrels away.
There is a pub serving very good ales, some local.
We are only waiting on the Turkish player, then it is your go.

Man, you need to use the opportunity and drink the ale becoming unfresh by yourself before it becomes bad :D Then say to your wife that can’t throw good stuff away :D

Just joking, it is very good to limit consumption of alcohol.

[Witt]

I  drink a few bottles of Lager each week and I never drank Bitter or Ale.
It is wine now. Five times a week. I know I am on the cusp of the government’s recommended limit and I am concerned. It is hard as it is to hand and you tell yourself you deserve one after rushing around after people all night.
