War is a means to an end. I'm awaiting the end more so than the means.

If I somehow get PK'd, I'll move to America and start anew. Land of opportunity ftw.

I don't think anyone wants to PK anyone in this war rofl.

Ampharos said
Hm, I also meant that in the sense of getting crippled beyond repair.If I get stripped down to just Austria, for instance, I'd probably be about as interactive as Switzerland.

So Boerd said
This will not happen either.

Earlier in the roleplay, before I had officially joined as the Netherlands, I was speaking to the Italian player about his ensuing purchase of Veneto. He complained about Austria delaying the sale of the area and wasting his time and orders. I posed that Italy should simply declare war on Austria and TAKE Veneto, both to cut through Austrian delays in selling it off, and to save Italy from the dishonour of buying one region of the country with gold and all the others with blood. Amused, we continued talking, and discovered we both shared distaste for the Treaty of Constantinople. Italy suggested that a conference in Turin would be the best way to solve his problems with the treaty; I jested that the easiest way to get rid of it was to march to Vienna and Constantinople, paint "Treaty of Constantinople" in Italian across the sides of the Austrian and Ottoman Parliament buildings, and set each of them on fire.Maybe, with this war, I'll be able to see both of my proposed solutions put into action.I am not lenient. I like to plow through my problems with a bulldozer. When Vienna and Constantinople are occupied, it will be me that draws the new map of Europe. Eurus will look like a dream straight out of the Sultan's harem, and no one on all Earth will question the unity of the Dutch nation without thinking twice.

The Nexerus said As the one drawing the new map of Europe (as we speak, even!) I can confirm that the Austrian Empire is not being stripped down to Austria.

That's getting a bit ahead of yourself, isn't it? Assuming this war lasts two turns, minimum, we won't be reaching a conclusion until two weeks from tomorrow. It's also assuming you win.

Also, if France doesn't get in the war then Bismarck's rhetoric in order to have a war with the French will fall flat on its face.
