[OOC] World in Revolution: 1861

[The Nexerus]

A treaty...?

[Ampharos]

This is an unfortunate (and somewhat disappointing) turn of events.

[So Boerd]

Treachery cuts both ways. Don't worry Greece, we want you back.

Although there are a couple thousand dead Italians that they have to answer for. :l

Compensation will be demanded.

Weirdly enough, Greece approached us after he announced his desire to switch sides.

I'm in the IRC.

Well, that's anti-climactic.

Seems like the French are being pretty soft here. I mean, I'm not sure they should have joined the war to begin with, but if you're this far in you might as well commit.

[So Boerd]

Ampharos, are you now willing to yield, or must we push this further than necessary?

I know when I'm beaten. I suppose we should open up dialogue?

This far in?
Nothing has happened to the French so far.
Except some ships sank and I lost land I already gave away.

Yes, we should.

It's pretty logical that they'd want to join this war.

This war is more or less a combination of the Austro-Italian War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War. Austria-France and Prussia-Italy are the logical alliances for an 1861 game unless any of them have particularly unorthodox or alternative ambitions.

At least, that's what makes sense from a pragmatic point of view. Austria and France both have vested interest in preventing from Germany from being established.

Just seems a little weak to let them have Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine. Trying for peace is fine, it's agreeing to their demands so easily that seems a little off. You'd think France would feel a little stronger about letting both Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine go.

EDIT: Especially considering France is still in a good position.

They'd given away AL before the war even started.

Edit: It was Austrian land when the war started.

I already gave them Alsace-Lorraine long before this war.
You have a point about Belgium though.

Yes, we should.

Yeah. I'll let you do the honors of starting a private since I imagine you have something in mind here. Just do me a favor and add Outcast to the conversation and presumably anyone who has vested interest in our negotiations.

[Pepperm1nts]

Notice my edit in my previous post. That's why I feel it's so off. France is still strong, yet they agree to their demands like they're about to be destroyed.

King William III doesn't necessarily want all of Belgium. There's a reason the treaty with France specifically mentions that the status of Wallonia is pending.

Dangit Amph forgot to add OC. Whatevs, we will run the treaty by him before posting.
