See?  Bold letters are everyone's friend.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

A white peace is simply not possible. Why would I do that?

Why would a white peace be reasonable?  What does the Papacy gain from ending the war with France?

Hmm, I may have wrongly assumed that our own empire was included in the deal for a white peace, and as I offered a white peace with France, and will not back down from my word I will agree to peace. However, it was with the understanding that all three countries would be included.

I will not conclude a separate peace though, unless the Pope wills me to.

You have no reason to. I offered him white peace early in the turn.

Uhh yeah, you might want to bring me in on those kinds of offers.

There is no real downside to me being at war with France, and plenty of potential upside. Converserly, for France, there is no upside to being at war with me, and plenty or downside. So why would I just give him peace for nothing?

I made him a extremely reasonable offer, and he refused.

I will get that card out of him one way or another. :pope:

I apologize to His Holiness (although it was made public here in the thread).

Will His Holiness allow me to make peace with France, or do you wish me to continue the war?

I have no issue with you making peace.

Okay, I need some opinions. I made no secret of the fact that I held the Shcamalalkalsd leage last turn and it was one of the two cards I saved. However, as was pointed out, it is a Mandatory Event and cannot be held. On the other hand, it says it must be played for the event, which cannot happen turn 1, so I thought it was excepted.

Would be much easier if the card wasn't added to the deck until turn 2, but since the Protties rarely have 12 spaces turn 1, I guess it's usually not an issue.

The question is what to do in this game. I could hold it, or discard it and draw another, or discard it and assign a chance of someone drawing it this turn, around 30 in 110.

Ulmont's opinion will carry a bit more weight on this, I think.  I am of the mind that either we just assume the Habsburgs drew it (being able to draw it turn 1, but not hold it or play it as event is very weird) or roll a die to settle the matter.

It is an anomaly. I posted on Consimworld as well.

If indeed the Schalmalkedic Leauge gets to stay in Habsburg hands this turn, I welcome white peace with them, as a gesture of good will and common effort to stop the monster which is growing in germany.
