The Sublime Porte has become aware of the problematic situation of Gujarat and Kutch. It is most saddening that good honest true sunni believers are enslaved by French catholics. However, the Sublime Porte understands this might be a problematic issue for France, and thus the Sublime Porte expects the French emissaries to come and discuss the situation.

The Ottomans would regard it a generous sign from the French Sun King if he did let them go free. By all means let them be French vassals, but let them be free.

If France does not regard this suggestion as a decent and fair, then Ottomans will have to reconsider its good relations with France from a new perspective. The issue of Gujarat and Kutch is a issue for the Ottoman Empire too.

As a gesture of goodwill due to the thawing of relations between Portugal and the Ottoman Empire, the Portuguese trading posts at Socotra and Bahrain have been transferred over to Ottoman control (could the Gm facilitate this)

Regarding the session 12th of August:
I have arranged it so that I'm free at 20:30 CEST tomorrow, ie half an hour before the session starts. The problem is that I'll be then 40 km from home. I *should* make it just fine in time home, unless there are too many "snails" or cops on the road... It also means I'll be unable to do any diplomacy tomorrow, so I'd prefer to finish the talks today (Spain, France, Russia, Austria?) :)

Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures...

The Emperor issues fair warning that, despite his peaceful disposition and liberal world view, steps will be taken to dismantle the de-facto Bourbon hegemony, which was brought about by the unconscionable manipulations of King Lous XIV of France, unless the king of the Franks stops his reckless expansionism.

As such, to bring peace to the west, on the suggestion of the Imperial Prince (honourary) Eugen of Savoy, and with the grudging acceptance of the king of Austria-Italia, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is willing to offer peace in the west on the following conditions:
  1. That Brabrant and Luxembourg are immediately ceded to the Crown of France from Austria-Italia
  2. That Savoie and Piedmonte are immediately ceded to the Crown of Austria-Italia from France
  3. That France is awarded Lorraine from Baden, no more, and no less
  4. That France signs a separate peace with the Imperial forces of Austria-Italia and Brandenburg
  5. That France relinquishes any and all claims on Austrian Flandern and Dutch Zeeland

Though Imperial forces are outnumbered almost two to one, let no one doubt their resolve to carry through even unto the bittersweet end, should France desire war rather than peace on these favourable terms.

Friedrich of Brandenburg urges the french king Louis XIV to consider the treaty suggested by the the Holy Roman Emperor, to avoid the loss of unneccesary lives and thoughts of revenge for years to come.

Silly Demands Call For Silly Counterdemands...

El Rey Planeta issues fair warning that, despite his peaceful disposition and liberal world view, steps will be taken to dismantle the de-facto anti-Bourbon hegemony, which was brought about by the unconscionable manipulations of the Emperor Leopold I of Austria, unless the king of the Italians stops his reckless expansionism.

As such, to bring peace to the west, on the suggestion of the honourable Marqués de Lede, and with the grudging acceptance of the king of France and the rest of the Solar System, is willing to offer peace in the west on the following conditions:
  1. That the Habsburgs and allies stop interfering in internal affairs, like there are : waging war and losing provinces (lots of 'em) to France, of Baden
  2. That Austria breaks the vassalization ties with Brandenburg from the moment it becomes Prussia, as being a vassal is a king unworthy
  3. That Austria renounces all claims on Spanish Italy
  4. Austria will sign an alliance wide peace ceding a massive 25 ducats in indemnities.
  5. A shrubbery

Though Imperial Stormtroopers have superior leaders like Darth Vader on their side, let no one doubt the Bourbon rebels' resolve to carry through even unto the bittersweet end, should the Empire desire war rather than peace on these favourable terms.

Never Give Up, Never Surrender!

Though the entrance of the Knights Who Say Ni on the battlefield under the beastly braggart Bourbon's banner is unexpected and a potentially devastating development, never shall we surrender our shrubberies to the forces of oppression. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans (1), we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air (2), we shall defend our Island (3), whatever the cost may be (4), we shall fight on the beaches (5), we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields (6) and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills (7); we shall never surrender. (8)

(1) likely when one alliance has pummeled the other into the ground

and on Peter's #4, Danish costs will likely not be higher than 50k dead, 50 ships sunk, and some loose change :rolleyes:
