Gentlemen
I am in support of a 5-way draw proposal and think it would be an honourable outcome for us. There is no prospect of anyone engineering a solo out of this position as there are too many wily players involved and a real readiness to work together to hit the common enemy if anyone starts to pull away. We have already done this a couple of times with Italian early promise promptly squashed and then Turkish delight boxed into the corner.
Turkey cannot win and France and I (although we have just had a little incident) will not permit it. I cannot win as Archer is very effectively blocking my development and even a successful foray into France won't help me. Jake cannot win as I think Lucas and Archer would accept that we would have to work together to prevent it and Jake should be able to see that he can only take so much from Italy  before it gives Turkey the upper hand.
What do folks think?
By the way Jake- it was very clear from your silence this season that you were going to attack Italy and break our agreements. My action in Belgium and MAO was to give you pause for thought before pushing along that line too far.

Hi guys,
 
Got all the orders, thanks again.
 
First order of business, we haves some draw proposals to be voted on next spring. The two draws proposed are as follows:
 
A five way draw, E-R-T-I-F
A three way draw, T-F-E
 
So it needs to be unanimous among all surviving players. If you fail to vote it is considered a NO.  You cannot abstain.  Please provide a vote for each draw proposed with your SPRING 1906 orders.
 
On to the turn.  We need one retreat from England:
 
English F Denmark can retreat toHelgoland Bight or Skagerrak or OTB.

Since it is quite late I will put a deadline for that on Wednesday, January 15, 18:00 MST. I can probably do it earlier if I get an order.
 
Some alliances broken this turn maybe?  
 
Check my work, Maps attached.
