eh, so how is he supposed to know which was the second card?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

No idea. Well, he can also pass one to you.

Eh, don't think the mechanism allows for that.

I suggest he rolls a die and gives you back the one that is 1 - lower number, 2 - higher number. And then you give me a random card.


Edit: Number as in index number "#" rather than CP value.

Just so it's clear I AM NOT ROLLING DICE IN ACTS AT ALL, I'll be asking somebody to roll for me each time.

You do realize that as my fellow euroweenie and pseudoscanditard you'll be my die roller of choice.  :menace:

Do whatever you please as long as I can roll my dice vicariously through you.  :P

France accepts the Spanish alliance offer and makes no other offers.

Does that mean you are nixing our pre-arranged marriage?

My understanding was that the pre-arranged marriage was already set, and there wasn't anything I could do to affect it one way or the other in the diplomacy phase?

I mean, sure, if I need to confirm it, I confirm it, whee.

You can reject it and send her off to marry someone else, if you prefer.
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.

Also, what did we just learn in the last game about everyone falling all over themselves to make life easier for Spain? :P

The HRE, at least, seems to have learned--they didn't give Spain an alliance for free.

The French, on the other hand...

Ottomans refrain from declaring any new wars.

Ottoman SD to save time : 4 regulars to Szegedin.

You really should not have admitted that.  You just went down to Tamas' level of diplomacy.

As long as you're giving stuff away, how about a card next turn?

Berkut was the only player willing to give me anything for them.
