Ok, where is everybody? So far, it's only Sid, myself, Kujy, Richard, and Sander in the channel. That means Germax, Cyrus, Piko, Jens, and Finnelach are missing without saying anything. This is ridiculous, anyone who can make it, get in the channel NOW.
hey, well things like what happened to me today only happen in countries like mine... i woke up 2 hours ago and the whole city had no power (they are building a trolley) so had to cut power, anyway, i just got power but my bro now is using the computer for games to do a work with F.... linux, so i think i can play but later on... sorry about it, but thats how it works sometimes for me, problems...

bleh, well i gave you elective law. Next week as soon as I have 8000 ducates im dowing turks and mobilizing everything all or nothing to push them back to the galis river.
latest and edited save is at the buttom of my sig.
Hghlights:
Naples got its... bum raped by the turks and only has 1 dinky prov left in turkey out of its earlier successes, and lost 3 or so provs in Naples/Sicily.
Germany imploded into civil war but appears to have won some successes I allied them earlier and was able to help out.
I managed to peace the last of the muslems but next session as soon as I hit 8k ill be dowing turks again.
Sterk accidentily pressed the wrong button changed his laws and subsequently is in a mnor civil war but not quite realm duress yet I agreed to his edit request and changed his law back but I will not magically end his civil war however (he didnt request that yet I have psycik powers )
Norway/Denmark/Sweden are now in their third major war.
I'm really really rich.
and finally I dont think much else happened.
I'll try to parse these into a coherent aar later.

...? rather ambigious statement. I hope you mean your accepting that there is a war between me and them and that you dont mean between me and you, I do not remember you saying you had some sort of ultimatum to that effect I was afk every so often. Please clarify.
why the hell for? The turks pushed back my predessesor from the Caspian sea to Greece itself Byzanine once ruled all the lands once posess by the Roman Empire and when I just want to reclaim one small fraction of it its somehow unacceptable to his interests? I am not by any means turk bashing, they will have plenty of breather periods where they can recover. I simply want back all the lands claimed by the previous emperor check the save and you can see which ones I have claims on that is the fullest extent I will go against the Turks and Poland has no right the intervene and as far as I can tell is also in no ability to intervene.
I did some quick calculations and Sterk protecting 6 or so Turkish provs is not worth th effort.
Mobilizing everything would give you out of your 254,000 manpower about 120 to 140,000 effective boots on the ground.
To maintain it all at 100% will cost you 613 ducates a month.
you have around 2000 at start of the scenario.
I can mobilize 96,000 at 530 ducates a month. Seems my troops are more expensive but no matter.
The point is that even if you mobilize everything and throw it at me despite the fact that you are in war, despite that you have an expedition in the Fatmids that take care of you cant win. I cant win either its impossible for me to occupy all fo yuor demense. But it will wrech your economy to attack me and onyl drag us both down just let me return Byzantium to its former glory one step at a time we'll both be better off unless you want to agree to some sort of "skirmish" mode that doesnt wrech the both of us kinda like a josting tournament or something.
Currently I have 5000 ducates I can maybe last a few more month before going into bankruptcy but I can however recover about 5 times faster then you can owning the richest provs has that effect.
Why do I want war? Because I want there to be a muslim power in eu2. If the Seljuks are weakened, the Il-Khans will storm right through and come to your doorstep. So, it's either I stop you now or I bring you down hard later when the Il-Khans come (70-90 years or so). I'm choosing sooner rather than later. Your "calculations" are pointless, I'm not going to listen to pointless drivel about how it will destroy me. If I have "no ability to intervene" why are you so scared? See you on the battlefield.
Oh and by the way, at least I'm not the Satanic poster of the day.
