Once the ACW is settled and if Aegon loses is he even allowed to just switch to another nation or does he get sent back in the queue?

I'd assume "killed" players get priority.

NarcolepticSailor said There was a collective alliance throughout the entirety of Europe and a council that basically wouldn't allow any war in Europe at all and if one started, they'd get dog-piled be all GPs. I didn't think it'd need much of an explanation as to how this could prove detrimental to the development of the NRP, it'd make everything way too quiet at a time period where such a thing shouldn't even be possible. There should be conflict in Europe that doesn't automatically draw everyone into the pile, there should be isolated wars between a few powers, but not all of them.

From my perspective, at least, it went down something like this...

I approached France for support in case either of us went to war with Prussia. When Prussia aligned with Russia, I aligned with the Ottomans, enemy of my enemy, and all that.

I'm not exactly sure how the Conference of Constantinople came about. I wasn't even going to attend it until I found out the other Great Powers were.

Had the war gone on long and bloody, one side would have been totally eradicated. This is best for the sake of the RP.

Not necessarily. I'm sure someone wold have raised a treaty before their country was turned to ash. And in that case it would have been completely understandable. But surrendering before you even properly join the war? I mean, I don't want to bring up any stereotypes, but goddamn, France.

Yeah, I didn't mean to sound like I was making a personal shot at anyone. I generally like to think I maintain some sense of civility and haven't come over hostile towards anyone, but that Treaty that was formed there seemed detrimental to developing the NRP to me. I'm hoping that another war involving as many people as this one doesn't break out anytime soon after.

Not necessarily.

Our demands would have amounted to turning the North German states into a third independent power and then establish a Polish state out of Russia.

Surrendering? France doesn't lose a single square metre of territory. The treaty is essentially a white peace.

That's a hell of a lot worse than what we are asking. That's like half my turf!

The precise wording he used just earlier was, "the western half of Prussia". I assume that's in addition to whatever land he would've taken to form Poland, since the Rhineland isn't exactly swarming with Slavs.

I finally have posted.

Brazil just loves taking pot shots at me:p

[So Boerd]

Want peace, Mexico?

You can paint it really nice so it looks more appealing to France, but this peace is very lopsided for a white peace :P

[Pasta Sentient]

Fuck France. I'll have more to say on the matter when I get off work.

[The Nexerus]

^ There's that good, old-fashioned Anglo-French rivalry.

The only thing that has changed from France's perspective when compared to when the war began is that they've stopped giving lip service to the Belgians.

You better ask the newly United Republic of Great Britain, Ireland, and Mexico that.

Your rhetoric annoys me, why don't you go keep your head in the sand while I deal with my creditors okay?

[Pepperm1nts]

The Prussians did warn you about the French.
