False. You merely suggested a regular Lepanto to be carried out in 1902.
Again, false. We kept in communication and made proposals. Ultimately, we decided on another course of action. Shocking?

My God, everyone untwist your panties, ffs! 
What really matters here is the first phase of the Germano-Italian War is passed. And Germany is winning!

That's a lie. First, you agreed on Greece for me, Rumania for you. Second, you asked me to attack Russia with you.
Austria-Hungary just seems to attract recriminations...why isn't anyone talking about the poor U.K., magnificent France, or retrenched Russia (incidentally, y'all are taking the long way to Portugal).
I do not enter into moral judgements, merely defended my most sublime nation from certain falsehoods which were referred to as truthful facts.
UK was poor, but France played into their hand. Germany, despite the civil disorder, is in a position to decide the Anglo-French conflict. They can tilt the balance pretty much with that F Den, who is perhaps the most important piece on the board at the moment.
Russia is in a curious situation. I will not comment further for obvious reasons, but if I was a spectator, I would be curious to how they will play out the next years.
Russia is just as curious about that as you are, reis
Could we maybe extend the deadline? I don't mind if we don't, but I'm not in the best of "thinking" moods right now.

Oh, that was some sublime humor, that the Tsar isn't in the mood to think...
I do agree on the extension, though, seeing I will be somewhat busy the rest of the day.

Heh.
France isn't too active atm either. So no problems with an extension here ..
(Especially since we still would like responses to some of our communications. You know who you are.)

Okay then, deadline extended.
New deadline is Tuesday, March the 6th at 17:00 GMT.
I'd like some feedback: We haven't had a 24-hour turn since the game started. Mostly it's been one or two people per turn requesting an extension. My question is, do you feel we'll ever get a turn done without extension? Do you feel too rushed? Or are you impatiently waiting for the turn results? Should I just make it 48-hour turns with no extension? Or should I keep the 24-hour schedule and restrict extensions to a few per player? Other suggestions?

Towards the mid-endgame, when alliances are more settled, and a few countries swept off the board, 24 hour turns might be enough.
Leave it as it is, it hurts nobody to have the chance of a 24 hour phase and encourages people to get diplomacy done. And don't limit extensions per person, some of us have different schedules and that would be gimping our nations... Okay, so that wouldn't matter much for poor old Russia, but it would for others...
Is amused at the self-serving comments of both Italy and Turkey.
Everything thing you say is true...but only from your own point of view.

It is not possible for what I said to be true from only my point of view. Either it is a fact, or it is a falsehood, that you agreed to do certain things and did not do them. I shall refresh your memory:
When I agreed, you replied:
Here's what you did:
Here's your next communication:
I accepted that offer (what else could I do):
This is what you did:
That second betrayal was the one that I couldn't work out. It didn't get you anywhere. You didn't gain any SCs through misdirecting me, nor did it improve your odds of getting an SC. It just proved that you betray people wantonly. I'm not saying that's immoral or anything - that is a way some people play. You play with short-term goals in mind and you do it without any loyalty, that's one way to play. But you can't wave away the fact that it is how you play.
Exactly. You fell for my lies. You were foolish enough to believe my empty promises (which were made for the express purpose of confusing you). I never intended to cooperate with Turkey...EVER. My moves throughout should have convinced you of that during my tenure as senior diplomat. You were to be destroyed. The fact that you see this as 'backstabbing' is interestingly illuminative of your own failings. In order to 'stab you in the back' in this instance, you had to willingly turn around and offer me your back...which you did.
I have always ACTED as your enemy. The fact that you were confused by my words says something fairly interesting about your style of play. Note also that Italy was highly satisfied with my moves in both of those turns. They benefitted me or my friends. Your insinuation that they were without benefit showcases how narrowly you look at the world. Austria is surrounded by four powers, and my movements may have been at the service of Germany, Russia, or Italy as well. Heck, at times, I could even have been trying to benefit Britain or France.
Now Italy has a legitimate grievance over Greece...caused by a communication breakdown between my minions, Italy, and myself. I was never told that Italy requested a 'transfer only' stance on Greece...and interestingly enough, ITALY NEVER MENTIONED IT TO ME. Why was that? I surmise that they had already decided to break off our heretofor amicable relations because they no longer trusted in our ability to grow at the same rate. This is a legitimate concern, and one I admit I handled poorly.
In short, and again I repeat....This is freakin diplomacy! If you don't expect to be lied to...you will end up small, insignificant, requesting the help of your fellow gullible players in trying to prevent the inevitable win of those who are much better at psychological manipulation.
The more I talk with the three of you, the more I realize that you didn't band together because I am some untrustworthy bastard that must be eliminated...you banded together because I am a BETTER untrustworthy bastard than you are alone...and your only hope of survival was an alliance of the fools.
It's actually hilarious when you think about it.
:rofl:
