[quote=@Taniel2Shot] Let's not let this get heated, but rather remain an amiable discussion. I don't mind, as I'm sure most players didn't, that you're portraying France as a superpower, as you did add that they have weaknesses. Also, your reasoning of giving the world a common enemy is quite acceptable, as I was feeling I'd have to start some diplomatic drama my self just to get things to become a little more action packed. It is just starting out, however. What I think most people had a problem with, or at least Alfehdil and myself, was the fact that you tried to tell everyone else how their nation acted. And mainly saying that you crushed their nations in your history without talking to them first by PMing them and collaborating on a back story between the two Nations. But, by all means, if you want to throw an all powerful France into the mix, bring it. The Germans will storm Paris and rip the hypocritical French "leaders" from their soft beds and crush their "liberty" beneath their German boot. [/quote] Ah, I like you. Well, you see, I think 'Invincible Switzerland' is a... redundant theme, redundant as in it comes up very often in RPs. I kind of hate it the idea of it. Not so much hate it as find it boring and in a way, more abusive than me wanting to have the means to back my status as a nemesis of the world because my thing implies situational power at the time, while being uninvadable implies... quasi invincibility. And I'd like to state how I didn't ask the Netherland player because he stated in his history they hated France for the whole revolution business and that I assumed that germany would have behaved pretty much like it did historically (Take a beating, get up, get pummeled again, get up, get pummeled and get up again.) and add into the mix that german unification would have proceeded while France was in turmoil (I don't mean this as to belittle germany, but to justify France still being ridiculously overconfident). The thing is that Austria just being a neutral rock in Europe is... something I have difficulty warping my head around. But still, Alf seems resonable, I'm sure we could work things out.
