I suggest a draw. Let us fight the true enemy of our people - poverty and hunger.

Announcments

1) You can change your orders anytime before the deadline. Just resubmit them to me. If I am not sure on something in your orders, I will ask about it, obvi. You can submit your orders to me on PM on Discord or SA, it doesn't matter to me.

2) On order submission, write them however you want. I am not a stickler for orders syntax. As long as I don't genuinely misinterpret your order, nothing bad should happen. I will never forfeit an order unless you literally vomit in my chow.

Okay that's all.

We are playing with the Milan variant. If you've never played Diplomacy before that doesn't really mean much, just that there are a few minor map changes that give Italy much-needed starting strength. (If you want to see how much nerds are into Diplomacy like they are into chess, here you go.

Public Announcement, Winter 1900:

We would like to announce the formal dissolution of the Hungarian Kingdom following the whim of the Empress peramene of Austria.

Ergo, for both accuracy and simplicity's sake, let's stop with this "Austria-Hungary" business and simply refer to the Austrian Empire as exactly that, the Empire of Austria, for Austria, by Austrians. Which now includes all former Hungarians, who have of course been granted full citizenship and all the rights and responsibilities therein..
