Austria: Propose Open Borders with Russia
Emperor Alexander I is very suspicious of all these “unofficial posts” about cease fires and open borders proposals. Money talks, and you know what walks! :-D
Let’s see some official political actions 8-)

Sadly we can’t save and post the game in the middle of political action.
Should we just assume any post here is an “official political action”?
If Austria offers Russia an open borders agreement, the cost is 2 PUs to Austria, even if Russia rejects it.
But, at least in “live online” games, the players talk about it in the “game chat” before making the offer. So it is rarely rejected, because Austria would not offer it is during the chat Russia says he will reject.
So…. how do you guys want to do this?
Option 1:
Assume all posts here are official political actions, meaning that if the offer is rejected we still “do” the political action and have the other side reject it (thereby showing up in the history panel as a reject offer, and also costing the offering party X IPCS)?
Unofficial talk can use “private messages”, but that isn’t as fun since we don’t all get to see the cross talk between players…
Option 2:
Assume all posts here are unofficial, and when playing we only “do” the actions that are accepted. Therefore noone loses any IPCs in vain.
If this way, Blood&Guts will have to respond with either a Yes or No to Austria’s offer.
I’m fine with either way. Option 2 seems more simple/easier for forum play.
(Sorry, I originally designed this game, and triplea’s play of it, for ‘live’ games, not play-by-forum/email. This is also actually my very first play by forum game too.)
Spain accepts open borders with France (but they don’t need pass by Madrid to get Lisbon, we’re going to take it first  :-D )
No other political actions for Spain. The Prince of Peace has spoken

I agree with this

Oh, I did not know we could not save with political actions. I thought each of us could perform our political actions and save the map to our computers, then post that map and it would open as the next country’s turn to do actions.
I agree with Funcioneta, not necessarily Spain :wink:, on option 2
So we all need to post our actions, then the actions can be posted and saved as a map for France to kick off the round?
During the first round, Garg had completed politics up to Sweden’s turn and saved. He posted that map. When I opened it, the politics screen came up and it was Sweden’s turn to do politics.

Basically yes.
All “political actions” are done at the beginning of the round.
There is no way to save between “offering” and “accepting/rejecting”. You either save before or after the entire action.
So in other words, Austria can not offer you an open-borders agreement, then save the map and post it. He can either save it before offering you the agreement, or save it after you accept or reject it.

The question is not asked on player A’s turn, then answered on player B’s turn.
The question is asked AND answered all on Player A’s turn.
Here is the savegame with for round 2.
France offered Spain open borders, Spain accepted.
UK did nothing.
Spain did nothing else.
Prussia declared war on Sweden.
It is now Sweden’s turn.
Sweden has offered Russia a ceasefire.
Please let Sweden know, so that Sweden can click the buttons or not.
(hope this make sense)
Prussia also declared open borders with Russia. :)
Yep, I found LL and find it odd, but I thought that it was the options we were using. I’ll check it next time

Here is the new save, starts with Prussia’s politics phase…
France - (Cow) - Propose Spain Open Borders (Spain accepts)
UK - (Veqryn) - No actions.
Spain - (Funcioneta) - No actions.
Prussia - (Gargantua) - To War with Sweden. Also Propose Open-Borders with Russia (Russia accepts/rejects??)
Sweden - (Seth The Newb) - Propose Ceasefire with Russia (Russia accepts/rejects??)
Austria - (Canuck) - Propose Open-Borders with Russia (Russia accepts/rejects??)
Ottoman Empire - (Noll) - No actions
Russia - (Ol’ Blood & Guts) - ?
I’m loving how russia gets to hold are her cards close to her chest until LAST. :)
@seththenewb:
Prussia Declares WAR on Sweden,
You do realize half your income lies along the Baltic right?
Is that FEAR I smell?
You do realize your ENTIRE income lies along the Baltic, and you failed to even respond to attempts to negotiate any terms whatsoever - despite my correspondence with you.
And then you posture you navy in attack formation, and just expect me to lie idly by… Pfftp, please. I’d rather let every other player in this game stomp my territory and capital, than be ruled by a Swede!
OTTOMANS: The point is that I am getting attacked already by two powers, now probably a third, and no one is attacking them. France even asked open borders to prussia. If nobody but me fights them the best way to “survive” is to become a protecorate of a strong country.
As for political actions: nothing
When did France ask me for open borders? That’s news to me?
As for your complaints, What have you done to secure frienships? I see you’ve only made some kind of arrangement with Russia, you two are probably just waiting it out, trying to gobble up the middle east, and avoid conflict to become super powerful later.
Don’t think I don’t see through your muslim plot, of laying low until kinder winds prevail. I can just imagine how you and the Russians are planning to carve me. You probably even have a deal with the Austrians.
“Oh let me be a protectorate state” Pfttp.
Clearly YOU are the world power who needs to be stopped ASAP!
@seththenewb:
@seththenewb:
prussia has no good route to you, and will probably have to defend his overstretched coast with sweden soon.
Declaring war on me was rather silly of him wasn’t it?
Ceasefire offer to Russia & Great Britain
I am at ceasefire with you already.
The game starts us off at war . . . so yes unofficially we already have a NAP, just have to make it game official.
Ah, I was mixing my players up. I thought you were Ottomans for a minute (which I have a ceasefire with).
I will sign a ceasefire with you, after I have removed Swedish naval influence from the north sea.
So we will have to wait til next round for that.
There aren’t any Swedish ships in the North sea, I consolidated my fleet in a strong defensive position and one where I could sail in whichever direction. Are you talking about my convoy marker? Do you think I’m going to sign a ceasefire with you after you’ve removed some of my income and after you’ve already killed a civilian cruise ship looking for whales?
You do realize your ENTIRE income lies along the Baltic, and you failed to even respond to attempts to negotiate any terms whatsoever - despite my correspondence with you.
And then you posture you navy in attack formation, and just expect me to lie idly by… Pfftp, please. I’d rather let every other player in this game stomp my territory and capital, than be ruled by a Swede!
It’s also a defensive position :-P
Sorry about the unanswered email, I was shooting guns at targets and preparing for a jump that later was canceled with the NG on Friday. I had some free time and read your email and thought I’d shot some answer your way. It would’ve been more of the waiting for the winds noncommittal answer. But guess I didn’t and WAR it is!
I support any move by the UK, to reduce needless Swedish Income, and Support a British Landing on the Nuetral Territory of Norway.
I also Absolutely support the removal of Swedish territory from mainland Europe, by French and/or British means.
You will PAY for your international indescretions!
Making tourist money off of enslaved whales…. that’s sick.
