Matters little because:
1º Dane was no longer playing
2º There was nothing forcing France to give up these provinces
3º A new player could always refuse to honour the deals of the old player, like Pepsi mentioned it more than once today

Not the ones under the simultanity rule obviously.
And these provinces were apparently under that rule.
And these provinces were apparently under that rule.
Obviously since we agreed in-game to the deal and were going to do a fake war but things kept happening that didn't make that possible. It would be like me refusing Drake Sicily now even though we agreed to it and would have it edited.
All provinces which defected back to Austria: Palembang, Zazzau, Bornu, Liegnitz, Kabu and Tabor.

The Age of Boredom - part 3
Not much hapened during last session for Russia, and i told everyone and even signed a nap with drake because i was extremely pissed and had no patience for wars during last week. This was the main reason why i didnt help Poland. Sorry there Engel.
I was so bored that i even colonized Australia... that one was just for the LuLz and i want to see just how long i can keep it. One COT even popped up in there. Just shows how lucky i am.
Pepsi sold me the provinces in china france held in there. And apart from that the usual colonising took place. However, after all these wars and possible complaints from a lot of people, i noticed a funny thing - england had raised a real big army. What for, i wondered. My spy network was quickly consulted and i discovered how empty England had been made (there was basically no army in the big island), and that the English had passed recently through Iberia and West Africa, meaning they were on their way to India.
If they were on their way to India, that meant they wanted to attack either Russia, France or Austria, but since Austria was very weak he didnt need that many men to fight him with. So France or Russia were the obvious targets. The French had been all huss-huss with England, even giving them Calais just to give England cheap convertions with better chance of sucess in Holland.
So it was quite clear i was the target. I had signed a nap with Drake stating i did not want to fight a boring war AGAIN in China that week since that involved marching men half the continent, but drake didnt seem to care at all. He attacked. Actually, before attacking me, he attacked Poland - he must have thought i would join the war so that he could use the cheap military acess he had in Russia (in my own country) to have an advantage while fighting me. But i told Engel not to invite since it was just a stunt. And since that little tactic didnt work as planned, he canceled MA and attacked me himself.
His early attacks in China failed totaly. I had built some mighty forts in there and by the time he attacked i might had something like 100.000 men in there while the english might had had something like 500k or more at the start. It was fairly funny to repulse the English (although i have to mention that it was NOT funny to send wave after wave of men from Samarkand into Guangzhou). After seeing he couldnt do anything at all in China, he tried Japan. He had better luck there, but it didnt last for long - i just waited till he was "out of juice" to retake it. He managed to take me Ayuthaya and good portion of Australia and while he held to the Japanese COT he managed to send me something like 5 stability hits. Nasty stability hits.
His conquests in Australia also didnt last long. He quickly ran out of reinforcements due to the massive attrition his armies suffered in there. On the other hand, i kept recruiting men in there, retaking all the provinces he had taken.
It was more or less at this stage, that Engel told me that he was looting Holstein. That gave me a nice idea. I could take Holstein for cheap warscore in order to end the nasty stability hits. So i sent in a general to steal Engel's siege and take Holstein for myself. Dulgorokov took the large fort without any problem at all.
With Holstein in my hands, and with every province the english had taken from me returning to my control, Drake offered me a white peace. Russia suffered losses around 6000 ducats while England lost about 3x times that amount, but Russia on the other hand suffered about 5 stability hits so the amount of casualties in money terms was pretty much the same.
In the meanwhile, Sorelus (Austria) got totaly steamrolled by Engel (Poland) even when CG (Spain) was helping Austria. So Sorelus gave up after whining a lot (as usual) stating he could not beat Engel in a 2v1 for the most diferent possible reasons. Typical.
Whats funny is that Pepsi blamed me for Sorelus departure. Oh lordy. What i have to hear these days... Maybe my war in China with England influenced how badly the Austrian armies fought? Who knows...
