So, you are saying that because Austria declared war, it means that at least one of you will get more powerful which, subsequently, is what I want to avoid?
Precisely. You should have (still can) gone neutral and tried to arbitrate.

I'd like to say goodbye to everyone here, it's been a real joy playing with you all and I'll sorely miss this RP, but rl calls.Before I go, I'd like to make three requests, and they're as neutral as a player who is leaving and has no further interests to push forward can be:Enjoy the game.Stop nitpicking.Don't overthink every single little thing (a tad different from nitpicking.)Try not to mix the IC with the OOC (the war being fought is largely, though not completely, a manifestation of OOC hostilities.)Don't argue...or try not to.Enjoy the game.It's been a good run, and believe it or not, I've enjoyed playing with you all (yes, even with Nex, as much as I hate to admit, something about the way he over-reacts to things gives me a real kick :P)So, enjoy the game, don't stick with the OTL, and don't get annoyed at others when they don't. Adios!

Alright, looking at this, I see potential. Freeform is good. I've learnt from this forum that RPs with structured plots breed deserters. Mechanics cause dissent. Yes, freeform is good. So we're looking at the real world, but with humans alongside fantasy beings? I tried that once, I ruined it with mechanics. So already you're in the right direction. I'd like to play a revived Western Roman Empire, if I could? Covering the regions around Rome (but not holding the city, cus you know, Catholic seat of the world etc ) and Naples. Some General with delusions of ancestral grandeur, ya know? Gathers his troops, seizes the region and proclaims himself Consul or something. I'd be human, of course, but the Empire would always be willing to fill its ranks with whoever would bolster its fledgling form.
France siding with Austria here is the logical choice, especially if Austria has no German ambitions of its own.
maybe force Bavaria to join my empire.

But am I correct in assuming France does not want Prussia to grow?So wouldn't France take the opportunity to at least and slow down Prussia being even more powerful?
that Britain could just as easily give them anyway.
