Well, damn. I don't have the slightest idea how to host, not to mention the fact that my bandwidth is constantly being eaten by my family. So unless Billy or Turquoiside can do anything, it looks like we won't play.

Turquoiside PM'd me, saying he put it up on the metaserver. I don't see it on the list, though...
I need to look into this Metaserver stuff, I'm not sure if I have a login or not.
edit: OK, figured out what my password for Metaserver was, signed in...

Well, Pessimist's IP isn't working for me.
Me neither. I sent a PM including port forwarding instructions, but I'm guessing we probably won't be able to do it today. Also, I'm switching to PM for the rest of the day since Pessimist can converse by PM without increasing his post count.

I think I can host. It looks like my settings are configured correctly today (but I haven't been able to test them). My IP today is 108.92.68.194 (different than usual).

This session saw the continued Ottoman conquest of India, the Austrian inheritance of Brandenburg, and continued, but limited, British expansion in Asia.
Maps:
The Ottoman Empire annexed Rajputana early on. Around the same time, Austria established claims on Bavaria's throne, and began a war to enforce those. Although nearly evenly-matched at first, with both Munchen and Vienna being occupied at times, Austria eventually gained the upper hand. Bohemia attempted to intervene of behalf of Bavaria, but was stymied by the Ottomans, and Austria gained a union, and later, an inheritance.
Around the time that war was winding down, Auvergne thought it a good idea to start a holy war against the Ottoman Empire. They did manage to destroy an Ottoman army, but the Ottomans did not appreciate this, and subsequently took all of south-west Africa up to Kongo from Auvergne (some of which they had just conquered from Portugal), and occupied their homelands, taking three provinces along the French Riviera to discourage future crusades.
Meanwhile, in the east, Great Britain annexed and released Dai Viet. Awhile later, they declared war on Wu, but the Ottomans, who had guaranteed Wu, honored their alliance, starting the first human-human war. This remained a limited war in the colonies, and ended when the Ottomans decisively defeated Britain's army in that theater, resulting in a British concession of defeat and the continued independence of Wu.
Elsewhere in the east, Hindustan lost another war to the Ottomans, and is in danger of annexation.
Up north, Mazovia successfully carried out two wars against Novgorod, including the one started near the end of the previous session. This lead to several land gains, and Novgorod is now in free fall, with Sibir having revolted, and no fewer than three provinces having revolted to the Ottomans due to religion, with no encouragement from the Padishah. Mazovia now surrounds Novgorod itself.
Other interesting events include the emergence of Castille as the strongest Iberian power without challenge, and Morocco as the most powerful state in north-west Africa.
Burgundy was quiet for most of this session, but recently started a war against Great Britain. The war is thus far going poorly for Britain, with their expeditionary force from southern France being annihilated near Bourgogne, resulting in there being no British troops on the Continent. Overseas as well, Burgundy currently has the upper hand, particularly in Malaysia. The war is still young, however, and Britain does have one significant advantage - they have very little war exhaustion. The Ottoman Empire has chosen to remain non-belligerent in this conflict despite previous ties to Burgundy in order to keep the conflict limited in scope.
The next session is planned for December 30th. We do not plan to have a session on December 23rd.

That is Catalunyan North America. It emerged about the same time Castille was fighting Spain and Catalunya, and I don't know if the Catalonians actually settled it, or if they captured it. But it's theirs now.
We also now have an independent Aragon again. So, Portugal, Galicia, Castille, Grenada, Aragon, Catalunya, and Spain, all with land in Spain (if you include the Baleares)

The Catalans captured California from Spain, and in the same war, Spain lost all of their holdings in actual Spain.

This session was a short one, but it was not bereft of action. Billy joined us as Burgundy for the first time in quite awhile, and although Burgundy overextended, with high war weariness, they saw the fruits of human leadership.
The Burgundian-British Colonial War was already underway at the end of last session, but in truth it became a war over France, not the colonies. Burgundy maintained their advantage from last session, expanded a bit in other theaters, and in the end secured the liberation of Brittany as a free state, and the cancellation of the vassalage of Alençon. Orleans (as a vassal) and Normandy remained under British control.
However, wars were not over for Britain. France saw opportunity, and declared war, and is currently occupying all of the remaining British possessions on the Continent. The Ottoman Empire decided that the travesty of the entire city of Madras being forced into customer service was unacceptable and not in line with the conditions in Ottoman India, and incorporated Madras and Kondavidu into Ottoman India. Wu decided to push Britain out of China, and declared a war in which they are currently occupying five provinces. Ming, seeing Wu's success, declared war on Britain as well, bringing in their ally Korea. Perhaps unsurprisingly, all this has also led to rebellions in British Asia.
Back in Europe, Portugal took advantage of Britain's chronic excommunication to start a war, with their allies Castille, Guyenne, the Papal State, and for a short time, Austria. Though Austria made peace after the British home regiments retook Ayrshire from them, the others remain at war. Portugal occupies part of Ireland, seized British Indonesia, and somehow has a warscore of +33.
Despite all this, Britain has built up their home defence corps, and thus appears safe from invasion. The Wooden Wall, however, has been curiously low-key, not having so much as challenged a lengthy blockade of London itself, and allowing both Burgundian and Austrian troops to set foot on Britain.
Burgundy, as mentioned, is suffering from high war weariness, as well as a Time of Troubles. Rebellions are brewing, and the Burgundian response to them has been underwhelming. A renewed focus on domestic matters in Burgundy is expected next session.
The Ottomans, as well, have high war weariness. Auvergne declared war on the Ottomans once again, with their friends Spain, despite hopeless odds. The Ottomans occupied Auvergne itself and annexed Al-Djazair, and subsequently annexed all of the nation of Algiers as well to establish a base there. However, some poor troop placements resulted in high attrition during this campaign. A long history of anti-revolt policies means the Ottoman revolt risk situation is relatively mild, but nevertheless, the war weariness is concerning. The Ottomans also began construction on the last of their chain of manufactories stretching continuously from Constantinople to Kabul this turn.
Austria participated both in Portugal's war against Britain, and in the Ottoman's war against the punk Auvergnese. Unfortunately, this resulted in a slight loss in the colonies to Spain. Morocco, however, is currently dishing out some ownage to Spain from across the ocean in a trade war, in what can only be described as an embarrassment to Spain.
Mazovia went to war with Novgorod once more, following several state bankruptcies in the latter. This time, Novgorod itself and its wealthy center of trade were added to Mazovia, forcing the latter to move its capital to, appropriately, Nizhny Novgorod. Its bankruptcies also led to the Manchu taking a few provinces, and in the east, the Oirat Horde declared independence from Novgorod and is making progress on taking the rest of their Asian provinces.
The end of the period of Holy Wars approaches. What changes will the next half-century bring? Only time will tell.

No one told me there was going to be a session last week, I thought that was part of Christmas break!
We thought it was strange that you were nowhere to be found, but didn't realize that's why. Sorry for the confusion; I'd thought we were on the same page at the end of the last session, and did note it in post 291. Next time we should probably bump it the day before after a week off.
Today probably not as it's Orthodox Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas! Mazovia seems to be handling their affairs pretty well lately despite the AI, so I expect that will continue.
Edit: save game for today attached. Please download and place in saves folder before joining
edit 2: removed the save to help reduce CFC attachment size. Still available on my hard-drive, as with all of my saves from this game.
