I can get in on space opera, if the IP is good.

Well, I had been talking to Filo about a potential war between our Italian states. Here's the PM.

Quote:
 
I just read a book detailing Venezia's foreign policies around the late Medieval era. It said that Venice would strongly oppose a unified Italy as, since many of it's rivals were on the peninsula, it'd be a union of enemies. So, I'd like to contest your Italian Unification.

My goal, in-game, would be to break up your country and return each city-state it's sovereignty, to a degree. I'd likely try to make them vassals.

This isn't very likely to succeed, since you have more IC than I do, having been here longer. It'd be a very realistic war, actually. The combined might of the Italian cities would far surpass Venice, which is precisely why the Venetians don't want their enemies allied.
That pretty much covers my reasoning. Since history is unaltered up to 1350 and unification of the Italian city states would be a several year/decade long process, a unified Italy would be prone to breaking apart should someone attempt to incite patriotic feelings in the former citystates.

If someone is willing to play Filo's Lombards, this can still work, and would explain the disappearance of his nation.

Give it some time. School is in session and people are busy. Huesca knows the most of what's going on because it's his system and he's said he doesn't have time right now (midterms, I think he said).

I'm ready for any RP, but our nations are far off. What's happening with Ireland? Do you need my mercenaries?

No mercenaries, they take too much away from my replenishment.

As far as Ireland is going, it about ready to explode. Everything is in place, I'm just waiting....
