None of us have that.

Have... what?

Stats info.

[Rare]

Well, we have a new GM. So do we sent orders to him now?

[Pepperm1nts]

We don't have a new GM yet. Let's wait until we know for sure.

Then I'll have to make do.

Also, I see Britain sold Heligoland to Prussia for 25 pounds.

What. What. What. What.

[Pepperm1nts]

A lot of dumb shit has happened in this RP. You may notice a few fuck-ups on part of Austria too. Disclaimer: I did not play Austria until recently. It wasn't me.

Sorry Amph ;P

The United Kingdom became a republic and basically gave up Canada to France for no reason. A lot of things have happened in this that didn't make a whole lot of sense, rofl.

You should have been around to see what France was willing to give me in exchange for the island of Curacao.

[So Boerd]

25,000 pounds

Maybe it's best he wasn't around then.

I've noticed. The United Republic would probably be better off if it reverted to the Protectorate >_>

Lots of good IC though. US, Colombia, Ottos, etc etc etc.

Not according to the UR's IC:

"III. The island of Heligoland will be purchased by the Kingdom of Prussia from the United Republic for a sum of £25."

I think that we should start over.

I've been of the same mind for a while now.

[Pepperm1nts]

Starting over sounds so exhausting though. We'd be doing the same series of posts. Prussia would do the same thing (unite Germany), and in turn, so would Austria (try to prevent German unification). We'd be playing the same thing all over again, putting out very similar posts. I'd rather spend my energy doing something different. I'd prefer we just do a different timeline.

[So Boerd]

I disagree, because the pendulum is going to swing the other way. Everyone is going to be irrationally afraid of Prussia and I get partitioned by 1865. Then UK is world dominate.

Pretty much this among other things. People will not make the same mistakes that were made previously, but I don't think there will be overt hostility towards Prussia. I'm also sure that we'd have a new sign up thread where we'd likely pick different countries this time around. Quite keen on Russia during this period myself.

[Pepperm1nts]

@Boerd: Doesn't change that we'd all be trying to do the same thing. Maybe things may not be as successful for you the second time around, but you'd still be trying to do the same thing. Seems really exhausting to me. Like I said, I'd prefer that energy be put to something new and interesting.

[Byrd Man]

I would like to either keep going or just do another time period. I will admit I am biased because I certainly don't care to have to slog through the ACW again.

[So Boerd]

Might as well let this sit on the shelf then and go start something else.
