The tzar Valuk has been overthrown in his second month of rule,a lthought he is still actively participating in the RAG(Russian Anarchist Government).
The Russian army has won two naval victories over the helpless Swedes nad Romanians.
"The two misguided governments shall soon be overthrown" reported Mr. Valuk "and there WILL be equal rights for all!"
In other news: The Kremlin has been stripped of all Imperial insignia nad works of art, which seem to have dissapeared overnight.

In the Sultan's Palace in Istanbul

'Hey, Abdul, d'ya hear that noise?'
'Shhh, if we make noise ourselves, the gaurds will catch us.'
'Yeah, but what if those are some other thieves after the same stuff.'
'Then if they make all the racket the gaurds will get them, leaving the jewels to ourselves.'
'Good thinking.'
'Of course, this Japanese Sultan should be easy pickings... What The {explative deleted}!'
'Abdul, what are those Tzarist Russian paintings doing in the Sultan's laundry room?'
'I heard something about this in the news, the anarchists in Russia stole all the court paintings, and they had to hide them somewhere. Since the budget cuts, half the palace isn't used anymore, including this laundry room. The perfect place to hide stolen goods. Well? What are you waiting for? Lets start taking those paintings of the hamburgler.'

New emperor massively fires diplomats.
The new diplomats were given orders to remain worshipful against the nations of Turkey and England.
We however ask England to donate the techs Italy paid for ...

Spain Declares Neutrality!

In an unexpected move, Spain declined all offers of alliance and declared neutrality. We are doing this because of new Spanish isolationism fever by the spanish people, and also to make sure we do not get dragged into war.

Darius871 · December 5, 2002, 19:41

On the other hand isolation almost guarantees war.

You'd be better off allying with someone to provide at least some deterrent to invading Spain.

0hwell · December 5, 2002, 19:46

But then, who to ally with? Obviously the Continental alliance is superior to the Oceanic alliance, so if I ally with the Continental I will have strong neighbors. But the people might want to ally with the Oceanic so as to make a balance...

JMarks · December 5, 2002, 19:54

Well, nuetrality has worked before, see the first AoW game. Only recently has Spain in that game joined an alliance system. Now that she's a part of an alliance system, backing off however will be a bit harder without having another France happen. So Kawa Yannes acknowledges Spanish nuetrality.

Darius871 · December 5, 2002, 20:00

...yeah, but then France declared 'neutrality' and 'isolation', and they got wiped out a few turns later by three countries. Even if Spain survived in that game, AoW 1 isn't exactly a story of successful isolationism.

JMarks · December 5, 2002, 21:21

Uh, France doesn't count. Why? They HAD an alliance and broke it off, pretending that tensions weren't already high between her and the CEU (hey, thats me!). France was a case of how NOT to back out of an alliance, especially considering the possibility of war. To my knowledge, Spain isn't being targeted by anyone, and she has an honorable reputation regarding not backing out of already agreed upon alliances. Of course, given the political sphere here, who knows what the continental alliance may do?

Darius871 · December 5, 2002, 21:29

Now that you put it that way you're right, nevermind.

Choke · December 5, 2002, 21:31

Germany is glad Spain has chosen neutrality.

Valuk · December 7, 2002, 17:34

Well, Britain....

Choke · December 7, 2002, 22:45

Bump!

The ANZAC · December 8, 2002, 00:13

I'm interested in seeing how this game goes. Looks like conflict is brewing

Darius871 · December 8, 2002, 05:19

I'm really interested in seeing AoW conquests with no railroads; they'll actually be long enough to enjoy.

Darius871 · December 8, 2002, 08:03

Machinery from Amiens comes online in Moltkeburg.

Valuk · December 8, 2002, 09:41

Heh, still can't get used to the playing order of this scenario.

0hwell · December 8, 2002, 14:03

Spain wishes to join the Oceanic alliance to rid the continent of Imperialism. Will you accept?

JMarks · December 8, 2002, 16:29

Conference Held in Madrid

The Leaders and many of their aunterage (how in the world do I spell that bugger anyway?) of the Oceanic Alliance met today in Madrid to discuss the acceptance of Spain into the alliance.

It was made clear that the alliance was not set up to eliminate anyone, but for mutual defense. Anyone warmongering within the alliance without concensus of the others should and will be kicked out to fend for herself.

Once that was cleared up, the alliance members voted 3-0 to let Spain into the Oceanic Alliance. 'Hopefully,' Kawa Yannes said, 'our nations can grow together in mutual defense and grow strong that we may take our rightful places among the titans of Europe.'

Choke · December 8, 2002, 17:21

"'Hopefully,' Kawa Yannes said, 'our nations can grow together in mutual defense and grow strong that we may take our rightful places among the titans of Europe.'"

Yes...among the members of the Continental Block in other words

JamesJKirk · December 8, 2002, 18:56

entourage, maybe w/ two "r"s

now that this thread's gone to 5 pages, I'm going to be confused about which game I'm in

JMarks · December 8, 2002, 19:09

Is it possible to have the thread renamed

The Third Poly AoW PBEM?

Or some reasonable facsimili thereof?

Choke · December 8, 2002, 19:44

PM Leo he'll do it.

Valuk · December 9, 2002, 15:09

*BuMp*

greeny · December 9, 2002, 18:37

it's choke's turn next (Germans)

Valuk · December 10, 2002, 16:43

Damnit, is Choke in or out??

Darius871 · December 10, 2002, 22:25

Jesus, two days isn't long enough to think someone's gone; usually at 48 hours there is the first bump. It's not until a week before we start thinking like that.

The ANZAC · December 12, 2002, 19:37

It seems like he has gone MIA... I'd be happy to fill in possibly
