Okay, so anybody who is allowed to be part of diplomacy willing to shed some ligth on these strange proceedings? To the Sultan it looks like Spain has received a lot of gifts for nothing in return in order to fight the Ottoman Empire, while France can win the game at will. What goes on here?

What key is in my reach?

Besides, I asked that we be friends, civilized but found that Spain and I have a common enemy in the East. :(

Why in the name of all that is holy is this diplomacy phase not over yet?  :huh:

No new wars here.
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.

Besides Edinburgh which you could take if the right card fell your way. On that note I have to say that it feels slightly weird to continue a game which goes on just because you did not feel like winning turn 1. Trying to convince people to stop you now is odd.

What did you did ask was that we be neutral or you would use Sultan's Harem on me, to which I made the honest reply that I felt my corsairs might be needed to stop you from winning (which, again, feels strange).

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

So, any more wars? Szmik, you're up to announce.

I think we can safely assume that England isn't going to declare war on Spain or the Protestants.  They are already at war with France.

France is not going to declare war on the HRE while leaving a bunch of stuff exposed in their homeland and certainly isn't going to try their luck against England.

The HRE (Solmyr) is the one we're really waiting on.

We are?

I'm waiting for Katmai to announce he's giving me a card, and to give it in ACTS. :P

HRE does not declare any wars.

Ottomans are up to SD, then.

The Protestants will give stinky krauts a card.
Will do so in ACTS as soon as back at home.

Not true, by the way.  If France wins the diplomatic resolution of Scotland at the moment, nothing happens.  They would have to lose the resolution to England or the Protestants, then win it later for the key to switch hands.  See the latest FAQ.

Yeah, I thought that was the case.

So I was right :yeah:

no wars to declare  :bowler:

I also doubt Spanish or Ottoman SD is going to affect mine, so 2R to York.

Quote from: szmik on June 29, 2012, 04:31:19 PMWhen for example Spain fights HRE and Spain has Papacy as the ally, HRE gets Rome through siege, then you resolve status and Rome goes back to Spain if hold as ally?? Really?

No, if Spain wins the check and keeps the Pope, there is no change to Rome's status, HRE keeps it. Scottish Lords Rebel is the exception, the winner takes all spaces regardless of Scotland's former status, if I read the FAQ correctly.

:rolleyes:

I knew that szmik has me on ignore but now Habbaku as well. This has been thoroughly covered a long time ago. Read the FAQ.
