I have read the confession by Darius. I am not amused however that Darius in no way seems to repent his cheating and lying! He seems quite proud of his achievement: To paraphrase his words: 'the biggest diplomatic scandal in History. Good Job!'.
I would be deeply embarrased by all this,and certainly not boost on dispicable acts as you have done Darius.
You ask if this will be held against you as Tzar or as Darius. For me it is both. I can live with both:
As the Tzar in this game, you are just a player in a PBEM,and I just have to deal with you,as I have to deal with everybody else. Darius and player cannot be seperated completely, and Darius is untrustworthy, as proven. Your person does determine to a large degree the Tzar character.
Darius is also a whining person, since you still do not take complete responsability for your actions, and make it look the war had to start at some point or another, so all that has happened doesn't really matter. It does matter : You could have posted your turn without the meddling with earlier posts, and we would have had a different game, and I could have had respect for Darius, although I would offcourse loath the Tzar.
My first offensive actions against Russia in this game, inspired by a previous encounter with Darius (and stated so in the thread), have been justified, in retrorespect, by your meddling with your posts. I couldn't have hoped for more overwhelming evidence of my suspicions and distrust of you. You have chosen the most dishonest way to start a war with the US, by manipulating the justification for it.

So,as to return to the game, the US feels it has in no way mistreated the Tzar in any way nor at any point in time. The US is sad that the UK was mislead by Russia, and that a short period of cooling relations between our nations has occurred because of it. The US has been lucky that the relations could be improved to its previous level, thanks to the fact of the unexpected discovery of the original post. The US would have been in a very precarious situation indeed if the Tzar's cheating could not have been proven!
The US is thankfull to see the UK has now declared War on Russia,and its Ally France may have done so while I type this message and find the opportunity to post it. The latter case doesn't really matter: Russia may not hope for driving a wedge between the eternal alliance between France and the US. Russia will find itself completely isolated, with the possible exception of Germany (allready in the process of being crushed by the combined Forces of the Allies).
High diplomatic talks have taken place in both Friendly Capitals, and American proposals for a treaty with Russia, which will ensure a full and definite end of hostilities and hostile attitudes , has been met with general approval. Suggestions from both Nations have been taken into account by US diplomats, who are in the process of drawing up a final proposal of the treaty, which will be presented to the Russian Government if it shows any interest in ending the War and if it accepts full responsibility for the treason it has committed.
Russia must agree that the US should be compensated for:
- the loss of lives
- the loss of Crete
- committing agression without valid pretext (Russia's pretext has been the added sentences, NOT the feared 'inevitable war' as is now brought forward)
- the treason of the Tzar, that has harmed diplomatic standing in the World, and that could only be repaired by enormous diplomatic efforts by the US.
Russia is asked to announce publicly if it will receive the US diplomats. Bilateral talks will then start between the US and Russia. The US wishes to reach a definite Treaty ASAP, but expect a settlement will take some time to reach (lets say a week)
