Maybe someone can give me some tips on diplo-annexing. I'm playing as Genoa currently. I beat up Tuscany early on and as part of the peace agreement they became my vassal. I slowly built my relation up with them to 200 and after 10 years i started trying to annex them. Well, I've been trying now for a decade or 2 and can't get them to accept. My chances are always a amaybe, but I've failed probably 10-15 times or so now. Any advice? I've got a couple others I've been working on as well and having some difficulties.

It seems to be very hard to annexe after just ten years. Unless you are desparate to get Tuscany into your nation right now (zero badboy or forming Italy for example) I would let them remain as a vassal until you get a little gold crown icon at the top of the screen.
You can diplo-annexe with Maybe - I've done it, but with as many rejections as you've had I'ld give it a break.

Hypothetically is would seem that a "Maybe" could be from say 40-60% chance. I have had the same country refuse one attempt only to accept a year later once I get the relation back above 190 with no other factors being involved.
There is always a random element to every diplomatic action, (except of course, those noted as 'impossible'. There are lots of things that up your chances, but luck is always an element. The key to diplo-annexing is patience. When I was playing England, it took me over 150 years to peacefully unite Ireland.
Make sure your badboy is low. Aside from the fact that you get some BB for Diploannexing, having a bunch of BB points makes it difficult to get a Diploannex in the first place.
There's also an Icon that pops on the top center when your chances are good. Might want to wait a bit for that to come up.
You could always save and reload to get them annexed, but that is selective cheating... hehe
Time is very, very important.
After 10 years, even at 100 prestiege and good monarch it is hard to diploannex.
