You are doing a mistake Andre! He's a protestant you fool! Where have he ever said kind words to the only religion and the best religion of Catholicism? All I've seen were vague promises about africa and nothing else. And need I remind you that he was trying to give protestants a chance to cause chaos and misery in our country as stated by himself here:
Don't you see? Now we finally have a chance to rid ourselves of the heretic scum and that secret monarchist of a prince, yet you aren't lending your strength for that final blow! Get back to the only right side there is and do it fast!
You didn't look at the save file (and I believe I said it once here too) I enacted counter reformation. For clarification I said the protestants had their chance, but they couldn't pull the numbers.
Oh and I am not secret monarchist; I am crocodile monarchist.
I do enjoy getting my way but debate in a republic is routine, not my perverse desire. I understand monarchists forget that.*
Refer all you want, you're subordinates are capable men of industry. We have one of the most plutocratic governments around; that the form has yet to change is not a counter to that but simply the admission that more work needs to be done. Lucky paupers, in a functioning society, are simply citizens of virtue and I'd be glad to be a member of that community. Heck, you head a political party! Quite the progressive move but a tad shamefully for a respectable prince.
The same Genoa and Naples we intend to subsume? If that is the case, France is the only real threat to our colonial dominance. However, this is beside the point. The fact is that we cannot chase further colonies if we can barely sustain our current holding. You said it yourself: Our current situation can barely offer the funds to build a ship, let alone fleet. For an empire our size, this is absurd. We must reform our internal apparatus and return to profitability. That a merchant navy is required for such to occur cannot be ignored. So how will I build the ships: Press gangs, trade and stability will make it possible.

You don't have to worry it is all in good fun. I wouldn't be the head of a croc party IRL. Alligators on the other hand...
That last post was simply the reply iamme deserved. It was completely fruitless for swaying the electorate because, unless I am mistaken, the vote is in.
In the Election vote, called on the 29th of September and therefore ending at 20:00GMT on the 2nd of Oct, the results were as follows:
iamme was voted for by iamme, Andre Massena, 1anrs and thawitchking.
Tabanese was voted for by Tabanese, Panzer Commander and Vidmizz.
Therefore, the winner of this election is iamme!
We should have, as the election and slider timelines are similarly long, had a slider vote in anticipation of the move. Therefore I am calling an anticipatory vote for the slider. Iamme did graciously offer a snapshot of the slider situation a few pages back so feel free to consult that, remembering that plutocracy has maxed out since then.
Iamme, you need not wait for the slider vote to come in before beginning play.
The deadline for the slider vote is the 5th of October, 20:00GMT.

It's time.
I WON BY ONE VOTE EACH TIME I DO OWE MY VICTORIES TO YOU
A special overview of the first year of term 2
Venice's navy must've blown themselves up. We won that and got a new mission.
Portugal is MAD.
We got set back but I ain't sacrificing stability for nothin.
Trying to polish off our colonies in America so we can focus on Africa.
I sent my men to write graffiti on the walls of genoa about how dumb and stoopid they are. hopefully they embargo us so we get a casus belli.
If the images don't load for you just say so.
Why? Partly to stimulate discussion, partly because I've yet to form an opinion.
Good call maintaining stability in lieu of research Iamme. Perhaps the Crocs can rule. However, concerning research, in your save the investments were spread out. I do believe it is more efficient to focus one topic at a time.

This. Never research on more than one field at one time.

To aid our valiant researchers who work day and night to ensure Tuscan dominance in the fields of science, mathematics, literature, and arts.
I am going to be more active in posting images this term. Last term I was holding them back for an AAR idea that I couldn't flesh out well in my mind.

Better?
Hmm, that is intriguing. Portugal could be very difficult, but we could also knock out all the Italian powers. Obviously we would have to abandon Africa during the war.
:rofl: I was laughing out loud the whole way through. I love how you stayed as true as possible to the original text and yet it fit the situation perfectly.
I could not stop laughing, that was perfect.
you know kingofeurope is a fellow Protestant though right?
