Tell me, what do I have to gain in a war against Russia? I can guess your answer; Astrakhan CoT. If I now did won a war against russia over astrakhan, I would just have a fierce enemy in the north, while the only gain is to own a half-good CoT. That meens that im easily could end up with two border war. Besides, all the time it always sounds like you're almost demanding that im gonna turn hostile to russia or vice versa, so you actually are gonna be able to gain control over the balkan again. Get this; I look after my own interests, not the interests of Austria. Besides you are talking about that its "a dead game" and I dont understand what you meen. For example I was subbing in IE1 and there Austria ended up annexed(altough that was the session after i was subbing). Still, there they had a great time. I've had a great time playing this game, who havent? So No, I wont let you run my diplomacy in future either.
Im going to sleep in a couple of minits, but i'll drop by here one last time to see if there's any respons.
Edit: Me and Russia have NOT made any d*mn concrete treaty saying that we got perm borders, we are just doing what we see are best for OUR countries.
