13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: (Olstxr): Oh man, the og is so perfect
13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: (KingCharlesII): hello
13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: (Olstxr): Oh man, the og is so perfect
13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: (fwnorway): I love the people and love me
13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: (fwnorway): I love the people and love me
13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: (Olstxr): My name is, my name is
My name is, Charles ii!

I love the people
And the people love me
So much that they restored
The English monarchy!



I'm part Scottish, French, Italian
A little bit Dane
But one hundred percent party animal
Champagne?

Spaniels I adored
Named after me too
Like me, they were fun
With a nutty hair do!

Is today my birthday?
I can't recall
Let's have a party anyway
Because I love a masked ball!

All hail, the king!
Of bling! Let's sing!
Bells ring! Ding ding!
I'm the king who brought back partying!

King Charles, my daddy
Lost his throne
And kings were banned
They chopped off his head
Then Olly Cromwell ruled the land

Old Olly wasn't jolly
He was glum, and he was proud
Would be miserable as sin
Only sinning's not allowed!

When Olly died, the people said
'Charlie, me hearty!
Get rid of his dull laws
Come back, we'd rather party! '

This action's what they called
The monarchy restoration
Which naturally was followed
By a huge celebration!

The King of Eng! (Land say!)
No sin! Too sing! (Okay!)
Or anything!
All say, I'm the king who brought back partying!

Great London Fire was a whopper!
In my reign, London city came a-cropper!
So this king did what was right and proper
Fought the fire, proved I'm more than a bopper
I'm a fire stopper!

Married Catherine Braganza
She was a love so true
There would never be another
Well... Maybe one or two!

Lucy Walter, Nell Gwynne
Moll Davies, Barbara Villiers
You think that's bad
But her name's not as silly as...
Hortense Mancini!

As king, I must admit
I broke the wedding rules
But who cares when I brought back
The crown jewels?
I reinstated Christmas
Make up, sports and even plays
I was the merry monarch
They were good old days!

When said and done!
King Charles did run!
England for fun!
I was the king loved by everyone
My song is done

13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: "Obama isn't my idol, I'm a communist you idiot!"
13 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

14 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1901: The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815, near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. A French army under the command of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by two of the armies of the Seventh Coalition: a British-led Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, Prince of Wahlstatt. The battle marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

Upon Napoleon's return to power in March 1815, many states that had opposed him formed the Seventh Coalition, and began to mobilize armies. Wellington and Blücher's armies were cantoned close to the north-eastern border of France. Napoleon chose to attack them separately in the hope of destroying them before they could join in a co-ordinated invasion of France with other members of the coalition. On 16 June Napoleon successfully attacked the bulk of the Prussian army at the Battle of Ligny with his main force, while at the same time a portion of the French army attacked an Allied army at the Battle of Quatre Bras. Despite holding his ground at Quatre Bras, the defeat of the Prussians forced Wellington to withdraw north to Waterloo on the 17th. Napoleon sent a third of his forces to pursue the Prussians, who had withdrawn parallel to Wellington in good order. This resulted in the separate and simultaneous Battle of Wavre with the Prussian rear-guard.

Upon learning that the Prussian army was able to support him, Wellington decided to offer battle on the Mont-Saint-Jean escarpment, across the Brussels road. Here he withstood repeated attacks by the French throughout the afternoon of the 18th, aided by the progressively arriving Prussians. In the evening Napoleon committed his last reserves, the French Imperial Guard, to a desperate final attack, which was narrowly beaten back. With the Prussians breaking through on the French right flank, Wellington's Anglo-allied army counter-attacked in the centre, and the French army was routed.

Waterloo was the decisive engagement of the Waterloo Campaign and Napoleon's last. According to Wellington, the battle was "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life".[10] Napoleon abdicated four days later, and on 7 July coalition forces entered Paris. The defeat at Waterloo ended Napoleon's rule as Emperor of the French, and marked the end of his Hundred Days return from exile. This ended the First French Empire, and set a chronological milestone between serial European wars and decades of relative peace.

The battlefield is located in the municipalities of Braine-l'Alleud and Lasne,[11] about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Brussels, and about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the town of Waterloo. The site of the battlefield today is dominated by a large monument, the Lion's Mound. As this mound was constructed from earth taken from the battlefield itself, the contemporary topography of the battlefield near the mound has not been preserved.

20 Oct 18 UTC Autumn, 1903: It'll be better if you communicated with me through the PM on here guys
20 Oct 18 UTC Autumn, 1903: For those that don't know of the PM feature, this is a remindal to check it as it's easy to miss since we don't use it, try not to scroll down pass it. I have messaged a couple of countries, there should be a mail image next to Austria.
21 Oct 18 UTC Autumn, 1903: Actually nevermind, there is far better play for me, you and Ollie. It would link mine and Ollie's defensive line, and you would gain Greece with Aegean free to head to Ionian and then Tyrrhenian
21 Oct 18 UTC Autumn, 1903: ***
Italy
Albania - Greece
Serbia S Greece - Bulgaria [covering Joey's potential attack, only one support needed as you will see]
Aegean - Ionian
Trieste S Budapest H

Austria
Vienna - Galicia (Cut support)
Bulgaria - Rumania
Budapest S Bulgaria - Rumania [Joey now cannot do all three of defending Rumania, gaining one of Budapest/Bulgaria, and moving to Armenia from Sev post build. He can still do two, but this is a crucial limitation

Turkey
Greece - Bulgaria
Const S Greece - Bulgaria
Smyrna S Const H [Ollie's lost Greece but gained Bulgaria, linking his forces]
