KEEP CALM AND FAKE A BRITISH ACCENT

[Drench]

The empire of Great Britain greets the empires of Europe welcome and good esteem!

The ambassador to the Lord thy Mod would like to request a most urgent clarification:

is the only communique channel intended to be within the open thread?

Great Britain shall consider her options.

[Drench]

Great empires! I humbly deliver the following missives:

To the Chancellor of Germany:

I note that we have no conflicts in nation priorities. I propose that, in exchange for your control of points remaining below 12 for the first x turns, I relinquish efforts to establish Rights with any one nation for the first x turns. I hope that this is acceptable.

To the President of France:

I note that Italy is a shared concern. To this effect, I propose we hold a truce over the region, never increasing our PFs above 5, or one half of the required influence of Rights, in the region. I hope that this is acceptable.

To the Commissariat of Russia:

I note we have several conflicts. I would like to draw your attention to both the Far East and the Ottoman Empire. As you may be aware, we both will gain from exclusive Rights to one of these nations. Therefore, I propose that in exchange for a ceasefire on your part in the Far East, I lend a ceasefire on my part in the Ottoman Empire. I hope that this is acceptable.

To the Minister-President of Austria-Hungary:

I note that Italy is a shared concern. To this effect, and as with my above proposal to France, I propose we hold a truce over the region, never increasing our PFs above 5, or one half of the required influence of Rights, in the region. I hope that this is acceptable.

I submit these proposals to the entitled Empires, and eagerly await any and all responses.

[Drench]

Indeed.

[Drench]

I WANT TS

Wait, sorry. Dearie me, I would love to have the fine services of Sir Spoon of Twisted at my disposal. Good sir, would you care to join me?

[Drench]

Both France and Austria-Hungary have unfortunately not responded. I will proceed under the assumption that they will accept my terms, but I am also quite willing to strike further if they do not wish to co-operate.

I hereby place five PFs on Italy.
I hereby place five PFs on the Far East.
I hereby place five PFs on Greece.

[Drench]

Four for Greece, then.

[Drench]

To the Chancellor of Germany:

I request an immediate cessation of activities in the Far East. It is not my place to ask the same in regards to Italy, as you have a vested interest in such, but there is no reason for your continued involvement in the Far East. If you do not heed this request, I may be forced to take further action.

To the President and Minister-President of France and Austria-Hungary:

I note that the terms of our proposals have been kept. I am very pleased. I look forward to future co-operation.

The Commissariat and his representatives and I will discuss our own matters further before any actions are taken.

[Drench]

@Britain: I had no intention of putting more PFs there. I was simply putting those there for insurance later, if you will. I should have stated that. If you should break our alliance, I will add 5 more, but otherwise they'll just stay there.

I do wish to know what insurance you would require in a region that offers absolutely no benefit to you whatsoever.

Like I said, if you break our alliance, I will add five more. That's the insurance.

And what cause could you have to do this in the Far East, instead of Italy? I would humbly request you to stop lying.

Because me claiming Italy doesn't necessarily mean you lose the points. If I claim FE, there's no way for you to get points from it.

So you admit that you placed these PFs in order to cause me direct damage in certain scenarios.

I will consider my options, but consider yourself on very thin ice.

[Drench]

STILL MAKING THE DISCUSSIONS.

[Drench]

Germany, let it be known: I disapprove of your PF placing in the Far East. I will move to rectify it. It is unfortunate that this action will require the contravention of our earlier agreement, but your hostile actions leave me no doubt that it will not be a tragedy mourned by yourself.

Place 5 on Far East
Place 5 on Greece
Place 4 on Austria-Hungary

Please note, Austria-Hungary, that this move means no ill-will towards yourself. Merely other regimes that have chosen hostility above diplomacy.

Lastly, I shall make good on my promise.

ATTACK GERMANY IN THE FAR EAST!

[Drench]

This is a lesson I will impress on you as many times as necessary, Germany. Take heed of your actions in the future.

I only have three places that interest me. I have 16 PFs. I also have an agreement with France not to establish Rights for another couple of turns. Thus, I have to put the extra PFs somewhere. And you're pissing me off, so where better?

>he placed 5 pf's in a territory that meant nothing
>he placed them unprovoked
>he ignored the other 15something places he could place pf's

try harder
