KJ, i am not lifting the embargo. You competed me far too much times. About samarkand... Look if i care.
France compensated me by anexing Austria, getting Cechy/Veneto CoTs where i couldnt trade in, since i was embargoed. So i will trade there instead of Samarkand. But i am not lifting your little embargo. I also support everyone to start embargoing you.
I will pay 5000 gold for whoever embargoes KJ for 8 years straight!
Aye, I competed you... WHILE WE HAD EACH OTHER EMBARGOED! Merchants automatically target those that you have embargoed, so of course this happened, which was entirely your fault for starting these embargoes in the first place. Hardly ever did I compete you out of your cots while we had free trade; in fact I think I may have only done that 2-3 times in total.
Because you've insisted on these embargoes, you've lost perhaps close to 100 mechants that you wouldn't have lost otherwise. I have lost more, yes. My trade has suffered whereas, because of your TAs with almost everyone else who matters and your good monarchs, yours has survived- you've just had to deal with the cost of replacing your merchants lost to russia now and then.
What this shows is that you are a fanatic

. Your goal is to ruin Russian income, and it even takes precedence to maintaining an optimal economy. Yeah, we were very wrong about your RPing earlier

. The Dutch don't care about money, they're just a bunch of obsessive little suicide merchants that target an economy and don't stop until they think they've destroyed it. The fact that you're willing to pay that much money to other parties to embargo me also speaks volumes about how crazy you are

.
Here is my response to your 5kD offer: Russia will not be offended by any nation embargoing it for 5kD, as long as that nation shares half the money with Russia. We shall then continue to keep our cots open(as long as they continue to trade nice), and continue to maintain good relations. So under these conditions, I think it would be fine to accept this offer.
Hell. If you pay me 5kD every 8 years, I'll promise to cease trading in foreign cots for each term

. Come on, it'd save you maybe 15-20k; this is the best offer you're going to get
