Neither did the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth coalitions.

[Pasta Sentient]

The Allied-Eighth Coalition War?

ABSOLUTE IC GOLD

I think I'm in love.

And if they win, then it is indeed the War of the Eight Coalition... During the war, call it The Great War...

If the Allies win though, then you can call it the Treaty War or the Constantinople War (Which would pain history students for centuries into the future as it was not fought in Constantinople)

No. Just because you guys came up with a name doesn't mean it must be used. Allies? C'mon son.

[AegonVI]

WHILE THE WAR IS GOING ON JUST CALL IT "The Great War (of Europe)"

I second this.

[AegonVI]

Has Outcast been on at all today? I was hoping for ACW stuff...

I would call it "the war of Slavic Purity" but i will save that name for when i get serious about the national unifying of all the slavic lands. you better watch out romania....

[AegonVI]

I'd like to mention (again) that the Allies should bring up the fact that if Prussia is no longer abiding by the Treaty of Constantinople, then Alsace-Lorraine is French Land and that part of Denmark Prussia took is a part of Denmark (and that Scandinavia should join on the side of the Allies because of it)

[So Boerd]

Austria has already thrown German nationalist sentiment to the wind, so it might as well give German speakers in A-L back to France. Can't do any harm.

The British themselves said they were done with the treaty as well though. Not many people are left in support of it.

[The Nexerus]

You're all fundamentally misunderstanding the name.

Presumably, it's an allusion to the Napoleonic Wars, but then we go back to the discussion earlier on what a coalition is and isn't...

You might as well be functionally brain-dead. It would be an improvement for you.

If you knew how to read, you'd have seen this earlier.

The Nexerus said
The common purpose of the Eight Coalition was to oppose the Treaty of Constantinople. It very much falls under the definition of a coalition, and is much more creative a name than the generic "The Allies".

[So Boerd]

"Coalition (n): a group of people, groups, or countries who have joined together for a common purpose."

It is incredibly and immediately obvious that the name is valid. It requires an impressive amount of obsession to assert otherwise. That, or a complete lack of sense.

Late, but guns should be phased out of the US slowly. Banning anything more deadly than an air rifle should be the ultimate goal, but there are too many guns on the market right now, and banning them all would result in a huge amount of guns in the hands of criminals and nutters.

School shootings are only 1% of all gun deaths. Tell that to a mother whose son was killed in one of them.

Veeery late.
