[New Rnclave]

New Guinea was my only nonsensical idea.

Better be.

Now finish your app before I open up your reservation.

Will do. I'll have by the end of the day at most.

Just a reminder:

paying a hundred million guilders in 1898 is going to leave you bankrupt, unable to pay your soldiers and your civil servants.

Hence those aforementioned loans

Hmmmm...

Does anyone know the term 'invasion of red tape'?

Texas wants some outposts in the Carribean so that its small fleet could raid Mexico if war is to come.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

It's true though, it had become a pissing contest.

Tbh it was directed at you more than anyone else.

Dude. Chill the duck out. Let's all calm down and stop the testosterone contest.

Sent you something in the IC that is relevant to this, pls respond.

I am calm, and I've told you to stop OOC wanking. Just listen to that, and we can be done.

[Grothmogia]

You have changed your government to support Hungary's imperialist ambitions in the region, which is something that I cannot allow to pass without notice. Is it not clear to the international community that Hungary threatens the independence of the Balkans? It will begin with us, but it will expand to the rest of you.

Tbh, that's a bit much. The Hungarian demands weren't as bad as they seemed, in fact they don't limit my freedom of movement in the RP too much. Everyone is saying all this talk of Hungarian imperialists and humiliation due to retrospect knowledge of the situation in the Balkans in the pre-WW1 decades; looking at the situation without considering this makes it much more favourable for Serbia.

Plus, I wouldn't be talking after seeing the rhetoric used in the Bulgarian message to Moscow - it sounds more like a surrender than a request. And, if Russia's memorandum to Belgrade shows anything, it shows they are more dominating than Hungary, so you will be far worse off vis-à-vis independence than I am.

Btw, I have never seen a more aggressive alliance request before. Your message implies that this 'defensive' alliance will instantly allow Bulgaria to declare war on both Serbia and Hungary. Most defensive alliances start of as just that - defensive - and not where you clearly state your adversary/ies and declare you can only proceed to open conflict with said nation's backing. Anybody would be an idiot to assume you have purely defensive reasons for this alliance.

I was imply trying to be respectful because I desperately need this alliance. I am not planning on declaring war on either you or Hungary. I am perfectly ready to work out a peaceful solution, but I fear that after you, I will be next. I am also trying to think about how a sudden Hungarian ultimatum would feel to the people of my nation. It did seem like an almost overnight change within your nation and with the sudden attempted assassination of the Tsar, the Cabinet and Tsar himself are more than slightly concerned that someone in a powerful other country have attempted to destroy my government. I am not trying to say it was you or Hungary. It was probably just anarchists, but with the later news, it may have seemed like it was a plot.

Tsar Alexander has now sent a letter to your Prince, asking for your assurances of neutrality and independence. He has also held back the letter to Russia, btw, until you respond. Hopefully, there will be no need to become embroiled in a potential world war and weaken our nations.

I don't smell sexism here now, do I? It would be a shame if I did...

Who owns Malaysia?
I might be interested in buying it in the next decade.
My shitty computer won't let me access the map on Imgur.

What? I didn't exclude myself from said testosterone contest. I'm just as guilty.

[PLESSUR]

BTW, how does the date system work on the IC? What is the date on it now?

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

Well, shit.
UK, could REALLY use that alliance right about now. If Japan doesn't get a response in like one day, I'm going to stage a revolution in Japan, overthrow the monarchy, establish a republic, and align with France. I'm desperately trying to secure one alliance with someone.

I don't think you understand how important the monarchy is to Japan. They STILL HAVE AN EMPEROR IRL

They've also only ever had one dynasty. I doubt it'll be even remotely plausible for the Japanese to overthrow their emperor.

The dynasty thing is sort of debatable, but you're right. Japan overthrowing the emperor is just... no.

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

Well what else am I going to do!? I can't fight France and China without help from the UK. If the UK joins, I'll have a chance. He keeps France busy while I pound China. My navy is large, but I don't stand a chance against France alone. Can someone update the map, I'm looking for alternate nations to play as in case Japan fails.

The point of RPing is not military affairs and imperial folly.

Dont be mislead.

Japan has a plethora of issues it faces domestically and in her colonies. Address those if you must keep occupied and nl other players are involved. If you want war, have a colonial revolt in Korea.
