Gonna try to post as Greece sometime today anything happening that would concern Greece?

[Seljuq Kyiv]

I think I'll get a post up later tonight as South Africa, just a little question though. Had the Boers declared war? In which case I should do something about that.

EDIT: Hello Mr. Bavaria!

Hello Mr. Austra, or South Africa, not sure what you actually are


I'll get my app up, you want me to write a post or as RP example or....

Never mind, found one.

Looking good. Use this as an example, and add the population of South Germany on top of Bavaria.

Spain, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, China, much more.

EDIT: Also a Provisional Government for France, a remnant of the old Republic.

Italy's been taken.

Oh yes, sorry.

Until such a time when we do have a poll here, I put up polls in my Kairokonferenz thread, relevant to the agenda I will discuss.

Poll currently deciding fate of Ottoman Empire

I am voting for something resembling 1920 borders, at least as far as Europe and the greater caucasus region is concerned.

You mean modern-day Turkey, minus Hatay?

Gonna try to post as Greece sometime today anything happening that would concern Greece?

Turkey granted Albania independence, and tons of land that may be seen as Greek, if you're a diehard irredentist. Or you could combine forces and chase the Turks out.

For he too is Alexander.

[Halleon]

Well at the moment I think its more important on focusing on getting Greek land from the Ottoman Empire by gaining allies then turning attention to any land that is seen as Greek held by Albania. By the time any action peaceful or violent can be taken against the Turks don't think I will care much about Albania.

Woot! I will make sure to give you Ionia when a peace is negotiated.

Hope that peace also contains Crete, Rhodes, the mainland of Greece from the Turks, and maybe Cyprus?

I am thinking of placing a monarchy in Argentina... Too farfetched? (Investigating on San Martín's family)

That sounds fairly farfetched to me.

You mean modern-day Turkey, minus Hatay?

No no. I mean Smyrna and the Ionian Coasts and even the suburbs of Istanbul for Greece and I mean Armenia half way to Ankara (Armenia as a Russian general-governorate that is) and the whole nine yards. If I really get to go to town I even mean the establishment of a Kurdistan and a Cilicia under Russian control giving me access to Antioch and the Mediterranean though that bit is probably unlikely.

[Kottonian Noblemen]

one question, can you give a really brief summary of the war? I read all bavarian posts until page 20, there was the siege/battle of Strasbourg. If someone could tell me a bit what happened after this I would be really apppreciated

Cyprus remains undecided, though leaning slightly against your favour.

Istanbul could be renegotiated (1922 with the Aegean islands?), but doable. Armenia;the turquoise line extended through Diyarbakir?? That's the most I'm willing to allow.

Personally, I'd think Kurdistan, who shares a history with Egypt (Saladin, for example) would be more friendly therein.

Bavaria won, and Napoleon III was captured. Prussia and Austria continued pushing inland. Egypt enters the war, seizes French colonies (gives Algeria to Austria), occupies coastal cities.

The Second Empire is no more; the Third Republic is formed, but a coup kills President Trochu, leaving the Republicans to flee to Versailles. The Paris Commune in several French cities are formed under Blanqui.

Paris is raided, first by Egypt, then by Austria, then by Prussia and Bavaria. Paris is now free of occupants, and remains under Commune rule.

Egypt marches upon Versailles and negotiates a surrender (to Egypt only), thereby withdrawing from the war. The Third Republic under Louis Favre disbands. The Commune, the only government left, stands somewhat triumphant.

There is possibly a provisional government within the rubble of the old Empire. It is rumoured to be presiding in Tours.

It has been clearly demonstrated that the Franco-German War is already won, and stretching the war out any further would be a waste of resources and downright cruel.

Accepted.

[Halleon]

Have to admit that my post is not the best and sorry for the quality of it but hopefully my next post will be better was struggling to type something decent up for my first post.

What do you mean "allow"? If I choose to take more than you are willing to allow what will you actually do about it? By the time Wilsonian Armenia is in Russian hands I doubt anything less than a full scale military intervention by the United Kingdom and France will be able to push Russia back, and since the UK seems busy destroying the Communards that doesn't sound very likely.

EDIT: Also Kurds are an Iranian not Arab people. In any case if I can't make them Russians I would be more inclined to give them a fully sovereign state rather than hand them over to others.

Uh... What's that word other than 'allow' that shows approval while not being of an authority to formalise it, etc.? A sort of 'being happy' with something, I suppose.

As a player, I'd say Samsun - Sivas at most.

And Russia gets a demilitarised Marmara. Fair?

[Aercos]

Modified my App, found the artillery used at that time, although, info is sketchy.

I'm RPing the Provisional Government as a dying force. Though it is technically larger than the Commune and its units better trained, the loss of major cities and defections of many units means that they are struggling to survive.

If North and South Germany could both reply to my message, that'd be great

[Seljuq Kyiv]

This, which I found scrolling through DA for Egypt-related art, got me thinking on the possibility of a Rising Sun-esque flag.

Thoughts?

I will reply to it, but first I still need to read a bit the RP to properly know what's going on. If you could tell me the page of your message that'd be great, writing a response would also make it easier for me to beginn...

Do we have anyone to play the Ottomans?

Dear the Respective Kaisers of North Germany, South Germany and Austria,
Leaders of the German People,




I understand that, since the founding of this state, we have not been greatly co-operative. I acknowledge your victories over the French people and, as such, do not wish to challenge your authority within occupied regions.

However, the current situation is far from satisfactory. As leader of the French people, I cannot ignore a continued oppression of their right to independence and occupation from foreign powers, however great those powers may be. The People's Commune seeks to bring freedom to the entirety of France not simply the cities it took with the tides of revolution.

Therefore, I request co-operation in the securing of France as an ally against the old French regime – a regime to whom you lost many men in battle. While we may differ ideologically, we can fight together on that front at least. I should note that the People's Commune does nt lay claim to any colonial possessions of the former French Empire and would be willing to officially grant you possession of those not already occupied by foreign powers – You may still have to do battle with guns against their garrisons and with words against the world, but it could aid you greatly in the latter task.

I await your reply eagerly,

Louis Auguste Blanqui,
First Minister of the Central Comittee of the People's Commune of France

None so far, though they won't be in the spotlight yet.

IIRC it was a water painting for an assignment. But it has awakened a desire to establish a Greater Mashriq Co-Prosperity Sphere...
