Note: while we have refered to this as a peace treaty, it is not a technical peace. The Spanish and Ottomans will remain in a state of war until certain other stipulations in the surrend....errrh, peace treaty are fulfilled.

France regretfully declines the Spanish offer.

France accepts the card draw from the Ottomans.

France offers to marry Marguerite de Valois to Henry IV (Protestants).

France offers to marry Charles IX to Elizabeth of Austria. (HRE)

To Drakken to confirm/announce deals of his own.
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.

If Ed comes through with an answer to a question, the Ottoman-Spanish deal may be slightly modified.

I've actually been wondering if Ulmont is playing solitaire.

OK, it looks like Ed is going to change the rule on neutrals being swapped, once Habbaku chimed in he folded.

That is going to modify the peace with Tamas:

We will have a formal peace.
Tunis is transferred from the Ottomans to Spain.

Naturally, I am perfectly fine with that. BUT

I think it is worthy of a vote? Are we to treat declarations of new rules by the designer as proper rules?

Uhhh, this is errata. Once it is published (and his saying so is pretty much the same thing in the day of online rules), it IS the rule.

I don't really think there is any need to vote.

Well I'd point out that he used a qualifier.

Tamas, I'm making some assumptions about where your Tunis stuff is displacing to.  Feel free to edit them when you receive the file.

Again, nobody is as benefited by this than I am.

But as far as I can see this is what we got on consimworld:

QuoteIs there any chance there might be a change to the rule about transferring neutral spaces?

Yes, I'd say that change is likely.

Me and Jeromey both know Ed. If he says he is going to change it, he is going to change it.

It is a patently silly rule.
