Happy Birthday Rhothaerill.

Thanks

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

No - you are definitely a good person.



(And I agree.... an awesome war! And thanks for the acknowldgement. I only hope I can do as well in peace time. )

Thanks ! And I think that really the only participants (direct or indirect) in the War that are actually better off than if the War never happened, are Inca, Mali and Japan. Everyone else is the same or worse off... But what a great ride!

[England (DoE)]

Happy Birthday Rhothaerill.

Incan histories proffer the following:
The Great War began with the sack of English cities and culminated in the Israeli "backstabbing".
The Great War ended in an uneasy cease-fire, followed by about 100 years of relative peace.
The War on Israel began after this, directly connected to but not a part of the Great War.
The War on Israel was concluded, then the Second Great War began, lasted a brief time, and ended with a fairly diplomatic flourish that saw most of the gains of the Great War erased for the Central Powers.

Now, the only current conflict is the Japanese Consolidation.

Shouldn't this be in the Story thread?

Anyway, I disagree... Russia and France remained at War from when France declared War on England, until after Israel surrendered, so Turkish history would likely show that there was one War, which arguably is still going, continuing on into the current India-Japan conflict, which is clearly related to the Great War at least if not a continuation of it.

[France (DoE)]

wait... didn't everyone think that war was awesome?!? Especially the French story posts during the war... I for one definitely feel like "awesome, let's ride that ride again"

Is that bad? Does that make me a bad person or something?

No - you are definitely a good person.

Hahahh... all good points, Robert Plomp The First

Russia considers this war to be truly awful, nothing even close to Great, except that our alliance won at the end. But looking at it practical, Russia did finished the war with lower GNP than when it entered it + the five-digit debts. Only in diplomatic stance I feel better than before entering the war.

I have told Veneta many, many times that war in Europe must not be allowed by any means and it will be real disaster for all the Europeans. It is only satisfying that the supposed stronger players jumped at each-other instead of heading for the still bows and sticks armed other parts of the world. In this regard, the idea of packing all the Tier1 players in Europe was great success.

I completely agree.

And while all the big boys were beating the crap out of each other those bow & stick civs caught up a lot of ground, which was also part of the wisdom of this. Tiers are an unqualified success.

[Native America (DoE)]

We have a different name for the war.

The War of the Indefinite Screwing Over?

[Israel (DoE)]

We have a different name for the war.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

"The Great War" (though perhaps some civs do not consider the war to be that great, as in 'awesome, let us do it again') (which makes it once again very ironic that the only nation that may consider WW1 to have been a Great (w00t) war is Russia, but Russia refers to it as "WW1", imagine how much greater Russia imagines WW2 to be )

wait... didn't everyone think that war was awesome?!? Especially the French story posts during the war... I for one definitely feel like "awesome, let's ride that ride again"

WW1 was named "The Great War" till apparently a greater war was possible. Then we renamed it into "WW2"
I have already opposed before against naming Kings "bladiblabla I" since such a thing is not possible.
Nobody by life has ever been named "The first" (Though I could start refering to myself as "Robert Plomp the First"). Someone only becomes 1th if there's a 2nd

So don't provoce me even more and name WW1 "The Great War" (though perhaps some civs do not consider the war to be that great, as in 'awesome, let us do it again') (which makes it once again very ironic that the only nation that may consider WW1 to have been a Great (w00t) war is Russia, but Russia refers to it as "WW1", imagine how much greater Russia imagines WW2 to be )

[England (DoE)]

England is glad for some warning this time...

[France (DoE)]

Naming the first WW "WW1" either tells something about your plans or something about your ability to see the future.

Robert knows best.

What do we have to prepare? 48 more turns?

[France (DoE)]

Hey, France! You owe me 100 gold for using my trade mark "Evil Axis©" which I claimed rights to long ago!

My humble apologies. With so much evil in this world it was difficult to keep things straight. Won't happen again.

And as to the 100 gold, the cheque is in the mail.
