I don't want Germany to be weaker. I don't even care about the lands Germany took. I jokingly bitch about it every now and then, but I couldn't care any less about in the end. I'd just like to see an RP where everyone has options, and isn't dominated by Germany and Netherlands. It's not just that, but the way you went about accomplishing it. You lied, tricked, and otherwise bullshitted your ways to where you are now. The war of the Eighth wasn't won on the ground, in IC. It was won outside, in OOC, when Boerd tricked Sol into thinking he was better off surrendering. That single act won the war for you, and triggered a domino effect of buddy-buddy that propelled you two to the top.
