Hi Sultan, think we could establish a media alliance in which we share vital intel for each other in hopes of ensuring our corners? I think that sounds doable. If I hear anything that might be relevant to you I'll let you know. Very good. That being established, I'm curious if russia has made allegiance with you We're talking but I would not describe it as an allegiance. Aight tks man Any questions for me? I'd be interested to know if you've heard anything from France or Italy? Nothin from france.
And Italy we just talked alot about life lol and a little about what we both think about russia Well now he's messaging me hmm...Russia hasn't responded to me since last night...have they talked to you at all today? No nothing on my end either. He just made me beautiful promises of a northern alliance with me and germany and then that was it. He is very sketchy if you ask me I'm willing and ready to eliminate him with you if you would like yeah I'm starting to get that impression (of sketchiness). I like where your head's at but it's still a little early for me to commit to that I totally understand my brotha. Either I'm going to go ahead and convoy my army to nwy in preparation A solid opening move.
I wish I had more intel for you but Austria's been quiet all day too. Heard from them? Nah just a friendly wave at the beginning wishing me good luck and that was all So austria being quiet too. 
Even more sketchiness on russia then That's what *I* think! I'm paranoid they've decided to close in on me like pac man on a dot I feel safe to say that you won't have to worry about italy tho why's that? Italy is aware also of Russia's devious ways and actually wants to rally with you and austria. Just said that he's at the gym right now and will get to that when done well that's encouraging. Thanks now I can not-be-at-the-gym in peace 😃 I was serious when I said I wanted your corner secured just as much as mine so I'll do anything to avoid a lepanto Hehe yes you can rest in peace not in pieces Russia is makin our work easy with his sketchiness lol nothing unites like a common enemy Very true Well I tried to flaunt my stuff up there ;) can we go on a date now? Hmm I hear St. Petersburg is lovely I'm the queen you the Sultan. Take me out 😘 Don't tell me that attack on ank was staged :/ Sure was not! Why do you ask? Let me guess; that's what Russia told you? Lol not hard to guess correctly there right I figured he was lying I take it you and Germany have an understanding? 

Just a suggestion, but if you'd like to increase your odds of taking StP, you should have Nwy-Stp, Bar s Nwy-Stp, Nwg-Nwy, Nth s Nwg-Nwy. This way, if Russia decides to use their fleet to defend StP, you can retreat Nwy to Fin for free Actually I just sandboxed it and somehow that doesn't work...sorry; disregard! Haha yea that confused me lol I'm still pretty new to this game lol. But anyway, I'm glad we can put the screws on Russia together! I think Austria might have seen the light about Russia, though not sure yet Sultan my charming prince are you online right now? Sorry your majesty I was sleeping No problems. 
Ready to squash the tzar? Hehe I'm glad to see my efforts in avoiding a lepanto paid off for you :) What *were* those efforts, exactly? Seemed like France did the heavy lifting’s all I’m saying Is that sarcasm I sense? :/ lol jk Oh yea I was just behind the scenes nudging and encouraging France Never mind I'm saying to much It’s fine I’m not sure I believe you anyway 😛 You didn't think to question why France would move south? And so completely committed? Js Lol good. It's better for me if you don't believe me in this GO France. France is the man! So this implies a triple alliance of France, Germany, England then? Because France wouldn’t do this without Germany’s word, and *you’re* taking credit for France! No you're right. I was trying to take credit that's not mine :/ I just wanted to impress you Guess that backfired pitifully Your commitment to headgames is impressive, I’ll give you that Lol I guess that's a compliment? I wasn't playing headgames with you until you didn't believe me. Then I was like screw it I'll just roll with the punches then haha Anyway. Pretty soon we'll have to talk about who gets what from Russia. We all gonna want a slice of the pie We “all”? Is Germany sharing in this? Or [shudder] Austria?? Well hopefully not Austria At least not for more than one season if only to help us take out russia I figured you had already engaged him to help you against the tsar. And germany I'm sure will want at least war Germany hasn't stated what she'd like to get I just figured it was the obvious you know Well Germany will have to talk to both of us about that Right. Unfortunately she don't talk much.  Guess she'll have to open her mouth if she don't wanna miss out Are you and Germany are still on good terms? I'm really surprised you ended up in Sweden We're sorting things out. Or trying to. They had broken a dmz treaty the first  year so forced my hand a bit. But we'll see what comes of it. So do I take it you've lost interest in invading Russia for the time being? Yea well catching wind of France's  betrayal took the wind out of me lol. Let me deal with this threat real quick first But seems you got him... more than handled lol I do hope so... It's funny how your "allies" keep "betraying" you yet you seem to be the one who keeps getting dots... 😛 Yea that is weird I did have a falling out with Germany  but I'm  working  it out with them and I will  make it up to them I'm impressed you wheedled a support out of Russia last fall. You're full of surprises! So, are you and Italy collaborating to take down France? Honestly I feel like I no longer no what's going on lol But yes I  think that's the plan.  If Italy doesn't have death in mind for me Hey man you online? What are we doing about Moscow? 
Must admit I want it Well if you try to take it I must admit i’ll be...difficult I'd like to come to some sort of understanding about it What level of difficult are we talking and in what way? Understand this: I've been hammering away at Russia while you've been running around in the west and the Atlantic. I will do everything I can to make Moscow mine. Yea I suck at playing hard ball so do what you feel you deserve. And yes you're right. You've been hammering away at Russia and with Austria's help been very successful. I'll give you that for sure Well fyi I'm going for Moscow so do with that as you see fit Oh wow I'm rereading our messages this morning (good morning btw) and wow do I sound horrible!! Long and hard day at work trying to unite my fellow contractors and stop bitchiness amongst us, seems to have leaked into here :/ I'm sorry Also kinda got on my high horse with what you said about me but you're totally right I've just been kinda gallivanting around aimlessly. I do have a lot to learn, it's not like I do in depth studies on how to play DIPLOMACY or anything I just like to make a party out of it and have a good time lol. But I can see I can learn from you. Again sorry about how nasty I sounded That’s alright I prefer honest nastiness to dishonest courtesy Haha very true! Which makes honest courtesy the ideal world in which case I would ask that you consider making an exception with Moscow for me as that would keep our borders very simple Our borders are simple now. You have countless avenues for expansion. France, for instance. I take it you have already made a deal with Germany and Austria for mos? I've made arrangements that factor in Russia working with you, but I'm not going to say more. Hmm that's interesting Clearly don't need your snark right now, England! I figure there's no sense fighting you over Moscow now that I've got other things to deal with, so it's yours next season as far as I'm concerned. Ok thank you. And seems you won't have to take anymore of my snark for a good long while as I obviously have my own problems to deal with now too. Eh, you were stretching yourself too thin trying to get a foothold in France *and* russia, I think. But you'll survive! Yea I did make a blunder back there. Had to take a couple steps back to regain my balance Our 2 corners are looking decently good tho so there's that
