Hello, my friend - I would like to work with you long-term.  Please let me know which direction you'd like to go first - into Austria or into Turkey.  Your choice will be my direction too. I'm still figuring it out. What are your first impressions? Germany obviously doesn't like you. What makes you think that Germany doesn't "like" me? He said it. He said that he didn't like me?  What are we, middle school kids? Apparently.  I haven't talked to anyone enough. Maybe he's just trying to stop a wintergreen. Well ... what are your thoughts on a Wintergreen?  That's a Russia-Italy partnership, right? It is Russo-Italian. Austria is going to hedgehog though so I doubt we can get together soon. hedgehog?  You mean he's going to open with his fleet to Venice? Yes he's adamant on a ven move. Interesting. That did not appear to be a hedgehog. No I'm not sure what he's doing. I wish you were in Tyrol. Well I thought the move would fail. Who did you think would open there? Nobody but without ven it'd be bad. Do you want to attack Austria together? You could try for Trieste again or go for position. so... are doing a crafty lepanto or would you like to team up on Austria together? I’d be down for a split of Austria, then we take out turkey. Thoughts? He can't stop us both! You really like Tyrolia! I heard there was a supply center rush in Germany and wanted my fair share. Interesting. Usually Italy doesn’t bypass Austria to go after German dots. That’s an unsustainable position.  We also have two on Vienna, if you’re interested. Looks like you're full on moving towards Germany you online? So, I'd be curious as to your thoughts going into this year.  Any interest in working together to divide up Austria quickly, and then take out Turkey? Looks like you were working with Austria there. Changing it up? He disbanded an army. And left himself wide open to us. I think it would be in our mutual benefit to coordinate Alright. I'm in a good spot. What's the plan. I' got units on Turkey and Austria. I want to grow. I could support you into ANK I’d like to do a long term split of the 8-9 centers. So, maybe I have long term ownership of ANK, but I’m willing to put you in there now. Yeah. You probably should have worked with me. Or submitted orders. Or both. Meh, I hate this platform. It's alright. With chat down this game is a bust anyway. Yet, you didn’t get on the “restart” bus with everyone else. That’s pretty disingenuous on your part. I don’t seem to have a problem, and this is my first online game in years. I thought there would be a more formal ask on the restart. I didnt know if it was necessary for me to say anything. Literally everybody else was saying something. And good for you. I haven't missed any turns in my 3 conspiracy games. And, I even asked you to chime in. But, like every other request of you I’ve made - you ignored it. And I was waiting for the moderator to say what he needed. That’s great. Why could t you get your orders in for the game that you’re getting paid to participate in? He did. He said he’s restart them game if all players agreed. Dude, it’s cool. You thought you had an advantageous position so why restart? But own it. Don’t pretend, after you bolo some moves, that you wanted the restart all along. That’s disingenuous. You still married to Austria? He hasnt spoken to me. Not that I blame him. What did I miss, your orders don't look agressive towards him Nothing. After missing orders I think he's through. too bad France is on your ass, otherwise you could possibly slip into Trieste. Yeah and France wont talk. Its okay. It all my fault. Like a candle, burning from both ends.  You lit up the table, my friend - but you're running out of wick. I'd be fine if I hit the submit button Won't you be down to four centers? Yeah I'm gonna die. Not much I can do about it. well ... you could make up for taking SEV when you did. 🙂 Not sure where you're going with this Sometimes when players accept that their game is over they try to help out the players whose games they ruined in the process. For example, when you walked into Sevastapol, you blew up my position and really put by game in ruins.  Maybe you would like to do something to remedy this.  Let me know what Austria is doing, etc.  I really think you'd be having a much better game if you had just ran in on Austria while you had the chance - which is something I was trying to coordinate with you. Yeah, honestly you're the only one to contact me I try to talk to everyone. The facilitator  has old me that this is one of the last talkative games he’s run. I think it’s because everyone is in line trying to get tickets to go see Frozen II. *told, least I usually do, but this interface makes it less fluid. Why would you keep the isolated army?
