Na als dann!
We already had to wonder how long this would still take. However, lets begin with a chronicle how our enlightened leadership has brought Austria to power and glory, enjoy.^^
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1901So, I talked mostly with Omba, PX and Schezo and I suggested Lecithul my Master plan but he is still uncertain about it. Omba seems to be interested in a cooperation, PX just want that I stay out of his way and Schezo is as paranoid as always. Kasus plan to ?head southwest across the water? sounds like a classic Kasu plan and I still wait for an answer from Raikaria. So much to my fist impression, I'll give you my opinions when I actually have some.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1901Well, Lecithul messed up my plan, so I've to go with my replace plan. This turn was quite lazy in every way, I talked again mostly with Omba and more about Mafia then Diplomacy. However, we will see about it.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1902Now we have already our first milestone, will England go with the plan or not. I have arrangements with Omba and Kasu if England tries to block me but that takes some time. Time I would like to use for other things. However, that game looks already kind of messed up. Schezos forces are all over the place, PX has to deal with said Italians who apparently prefer to be Swedish, Piefke don't know where to go and the disaster that is France is only the crown of ignorance and aimlessness.
Well, we will see about it.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1902Geez, England is either a bit slow or he starts to get impertinent. I thought that I made it clear that I'm not giving up on Spain and he ask for it again. I need to see what I should do with him. It's now even more important that Kasu goes with our arrangement. Well, we will see about it.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1903So, everything is said, now it's the time to see who keeps his wort and who not. France should move into Tyr and England should finally start his march into the north. Needles to say that he, ones again, ignored my suggestion, so I'll provide a convoy for him to make up for the lost turn. Well, if it goes on like this then England will soon find out why we still hold the title ?most tsundere majesty?, with the usual 98% tsun rate. We will see it soon.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1903The big question of this turn is, has Germany an ally and if yes who is it? If Schezo says the truth then he and England are out of the question, he also thinks it's Omba. But Omba thinks it's Schezo or maybe PX. However, that guy behaves like the worst kind of SK and the fact that he seems to be informed about my plans doesn't make it any better.
An Turkey Germany alliance would be indeed kinda troublesome for me. Well, we will see about it.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1904Very well, if everything works like it's supposed to then I will be the first one who reclaims his entire home territory. That gives me a nice advantage but I should to be careful to not bring too many up against me. A Germany X Russia alliance doesn't looks unlikely, what means that I need Ombas help and at last Schezos goodwill to settle this in my favor. Well we will see it soon.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1904I know that I'm kinda late but there is still a thing unclear about Englands orders so I waited to see if he would clarify it. That's so far not the case and I would normally wait another hour but the 403 errors I get lately making me nervous.
To put you in the picture, I suggested him to move his fleet into IRI and I would have moved my into MAO which would give us the option of a convoy path from Bre/Gas to Lvp.
Well I'll make some last minute changes if I can but I wouldn't wait longer for something that isn't even my problem, it's his lose not mine.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1905That's just great, my internet fall out just in time to mess things up and it wouldn't get fixed before the weekend. Maybe I get some online time tomorrow, but I'm not sure. There was also still a open question on the matter of the A Bud ? Ser move but I don't have the time to wait now, at last not for long.
I'm awfully sorry, but that is like force majeure for me, hard to change if even. I'll do my best to be in time next round but that will be mostly a blind flight for me anyway.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1905I didn't had much time but I'm back. PX and Schezo both court for my support against the other, Omba and England both wants my help and Kasu is were I want him to be. Well if I'm not fallen for a trap here then Germany wouldn't be a problem for long, we have to see about this.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Winter 1905It works all too good. I could think of ways to break resistance against me but guessing out where it finally shows up is another thing. Well, we will see but it still makes me nervous that no one seems to plotting against me, cause that means no one is scum ?
aside from me! < insert diabolic laughter here >
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1906Not much to say this turn. I haven't seen Omba for a while so there is nothing new on this matter, England got to his island and is therefore uninteresting for now and Germany is still scum. But I start to wonder if PX or Schezo do me the favor to provide me a casus belli. Well we will see.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1906This took me a while. Ombas move against Schezo will make things difficult for me. I still need one more turn to get into position against PX who would be the bigger threat for me if his plans for this turn are successful. Omba himself is difficult too, I can't really tell if he intent to go against PX or me, that's the reason for my A Tri ? Bud move by the way. Schezo was also already more cooperative than today but I'm tired, need this done so whatever.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1907This turn it's ?divide and conquer? and I have to wonder if Schezo already suspect in what trap I try to lure him. It kinda worrys me that I have to open a third front in Italy but the other two make only slow progress, if at all, and it would be even more troublesome to deal with him later if I let this chance pass. Well, if everything turns out as I think it will then I should be done with Schezo within the next two or three years. We will see about it.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1907I think this orders are self-explanatory, Schezo goes down and Kasu comes back. I'm still not sure how to move on against PX nor Germany and I don't know how long I can trust Omba, he told me that he wants to attack England, what means that he's either not aware of how close I'm to my victory or tries to hide his true plans. Maybe it's just end game paranoia but I be better careful about this. Well we will see.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1908I'm not sure how long the game will go on. My victory is close but still not for sure. Omba seems still cooperative and I think that my plans for Kasu will give the game an interesting turn. Well we will see it soon.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1908Well, I have still a impressive number of units but I guess I will lose some by the end of this year. Sorry if I don't say much this turn but things are way to unclear to even guess how this turns out.^^;
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria winter 1908Just as I thought, I have to think about this for a while.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1909Sometimes I hate it when I'm right, whatever.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1909I guess this orders spoke for themselves. Long story short, if Omba thinks that I will give up my position without a fight then he's mistaken. It's also completely pointless to talk with PX, he is like a bank, in English, a man that offers you an umbrella on a sunny day but when it's start to rain then he demand it back. Well we will see how this turns out.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1910Geez, I have still no idea what was going on last turn but it helped me back into the game. It also seems that Schezo starts to get comfortable with our agreement, he even considered my concerns about England. Well, it still wouldn't get easy to reclaim my leading position but now I have at last chances to do so. We will see.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1910Too sleepy to say much. Mun and War are two big question marks in my plans so it could go anyway from here on. Well we will see.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1911I think this turn will be interesting, I can only hope that Schezo keeps his word or I get in trouble again. I suppose that he'll turn against me sooner or later but he is currently my only ally, so I have to live with this.
Also interesting is if PX really turns against Germany or not. The lack of coordination among those two secured me Mun and War, two SCs I already considered as lost. To be honest, I started to doubt that Raikaria knows what this game is about and how you play it.
However, let me end this by quoting a friend of mine, ?I didn't slept well last night cause I still had nightmares about a dark-skinned Mohican who ripped off his clothes?.
It can't be helped, they still are just Germans.^^;;
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1911The last two years haven't anyone talked to me and now they came all at once, Omba, PX and even Raikaria. Omba wants that I turn against Schezo and the other two suggested ways to kill the other, Hooray!^^;
However, I'm too tired to think much about it or to wait for one of them to show up again, so here are my orders for better or worse. May disaster take it's course.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1912It's kinda sad that Schezo insist to stay on Englands side, so I'm back in negotiations with PX and Omba. But I don't want to look ungrateful, that's why I gave Schezo a ?guarantee?:
I'll not move any units into Italy (Pie, Ven, Tus, Rom, Apu and Nap) nor support any other unit into it for the rest of this game.Well, a nice gentlemans agreement and a clear case of ?knightly warfare? like Franz-Josef preferred it.^^ Now we have to see how this turns out.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1912I think that I wouldn't change them anyway, so I can as well send them in. PX get Mos to build another fleet against England, I get therefor Ber and maybe Sev and Omba gets support against Schezo. And the alliance carousel keeps turning.^^ I wounder if England will stay as faithful as Schezo thinks, well we will see it soon.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1913Well, it's time to say ?Hallo? to my British buddy in France and I guess Schezo wouldn't mind when I take Mar as well, he got it only with my help and he can't keep it without it.^^
I still have to wonder what PX will do, since he is back in his ?uncooperative? mood, but he isn't a threat so he can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.
When I think about it is Omba still the only possible ally, what means that he will back stab me. Well, we will see.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1913So, there isn't really anything to say aside from quick orders are quick. I haven't talked to anyone aside from Omba but no one wants to talk with me anymore anyway.^^;;
I should try to talk with PX even if I don't expect much from it.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1914I'm not sure, is it the second or already the third time that Dan calls for a all game coalition against me? What have we ever done to him?^^;; I wonder what he'll say post game when he sees how wrong his observations actually were.
However, I talked with PX and Omba and I like the plans we made for this turn, now all I have to do is to wait and see if they go with it.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1914There isn't much to say about this turn so here are my expectations ?
how the conflict with England will be?. That means there will be a lot of ?All Quiet on the Western Front? comments the next years.^^;;
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1915Huh, only one day for a moving turn? Well, it's likely just a mistake but that's not my problem now. I talked with PX and Omba and the turn could end now as much as I'm concerned.^^
What can I say, PX will now get serious about the seas around England, cause now he has the needed unit to fill the gap (SKA/Swe) in his defense. And Omba has to wait till I get in position against Schezo. All in all not much, so here is some more
Imperial Propaganda.^^
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1915So, lets take Venice a third time and this time it will be for good. I honestly have to wonder if Schezo really read the PM where I withdraw the guarantee, I mean he serves me that SC on a silver platter. Well, it could be a trap but I don't think so.
About Omba and PX is it the same as last turn and I'm still not sure if my plan turns out in time but I guess that we will see it soon.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1916Well, I've talked with Omba, but PX has apparently not the time nor the interest to talk with me. I don't think that this will change any time soon, so why should I wait?
If this turns out in my favour then my victory is for sure, if not then we'll have to see. Cause it's quite clear by now that either I win or no one. <diabolical laughter>
Wait, where was I?^^; Oh right, let fate take her course.
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1916Well, if I'm not mistaken then I need only one more SC after this turn to win. It also seems like I still have Ombas help on that matter, so what can possible go wrong now?^^
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Spring 1917Oh dear, look at all this orders, as many as everyone else together.^^ But still my lack of fleets is troublesome. Well, we have to see about it, cause I'm running out of things to say.^^;
Diplomacy: Orders for Austria Fall 1917So, I guess that's how it ends now. Blood for the Blood god, let this Forum drown in it!
So far, so good. If you excuse us, we have to make some important decisions right now.^^
His most tsundere majesty
