As an old TGE member, I congratulate Chris (As should everyone out of respect *Looks at Ferd*).
Respect? I think you miss the point. After Chris and others spent two straight days bullying and threatening Victoria, she finally agreed to go in order to keep whats left of TGE intact. She even went so far as posting this thread to give the coup some measure of credibility. And to add insult to injury, Chris decided to post the following:
Sorry for being late. But yes with the sad and shocking abdication of our dear and beloved Empress...Thats my problem. Not with how TGE is run or isn't run or who runs the madhouse now. If you wish to offer respect, dont give it to a craven sham "Emperor" but to the person who selflessly agreed to go in order for the place to be perserved. Thats the only respect I think is due in the whole sorry affair.

Also I never threatened to leave TGE cause I didn't get what I want
You left last May to set up your own alliance when your entire officer korp revolted against you though you came back a day later. You told me on MSN that TGE was finished and you were setting up your own alliance this month. I'll post the logs if you deny this. TGE has been going to the dogs for months now. Maybe it needs a new hand at the tiller? Fair enough but dont feign innocence. It was a coup, you and the other TGE'rs who posted in this thread scapegoated Victoria for all its recent ills and ganged up on her to post this utter farce of an announcement. Thats the reality to the whole sordid affair.
I dont know whats wrong with admitting it. Some coups work, some dont. Yours did and you should take a little pride in that.

In genuine defense of Victoria, she inherited an alliance beset with internal strife not of her own making. Within a week, there were two splits and most of what was left of the active people departed. She got foisted with the role and did her level best in what was an impossible situation.
This whole announcement stinks - I feel very sorry for the former Empress and hope those who had a hand in her forced departure sleep well tonight. Congratulations my brave gentlemen on a job well done!

Excuse my English translation skills but this is close enough to the mark, I think?

Nope, it was for better trades if I remember correctly..
Maybe now that Fred's gone, they've decided to embrace communism?

The Hanseatic League - I remember the first time the name was used as a broad front featuring the two NV's, the FCO and a few others.
Both your MoC & MoW are listed as members of TGE (unless this is some kind of alliance slash trading agreement?) but aside from that, best of luck.

Yes, join us - you get a free coffee mug decorated with our national flag upon joining! And whatever crap we get in the Christmas run-around from unwanted relatives who aught to know better. Maybe some money too - I'm working on the finer details... anyways, here's the coffee mug:

Offering two $20 donations with the following proviso:
Two nations, hopefully from the same alliance or friends, agree to pay me $3 million each every ten days for the next 60 days.
6x$6million is 36 million
I give the donation to one nation at the beginning (November) and a second donation (December) to the other after three weeks of successful transactions. The first six million comes through straight after my donation is passed.
If all goes well, and things work smoothly, the next offer in January will be for only 24 million.
Contact me either by private PM here or in-game:

An Announcement from The German Empire
in Alliance Announcements (IC)
Posted · Edited by Charles of Teschen
I think I might - bear with me:
In mid-December I forwarded a proposal to Victoria for the possible merger of TGE and its last remaining colonies (The now defunct TRE & TAHE) in order to create some kind of decent alliance out of the whole lot. I spoke to Chris and he informed me that he didn't give a damn about a merger because:
So I duly waited for a response from Victoria instead. However, as things transpired, between the 23rd of December and early January, Chris has a change of heart. On the 8th of January, he and two others posted in the PHoL demanding Victoria's resignation. Chris posted first and asked her to go.
Two days later, Chris attacks Victoria on IRC and tells her that she either abdicates or he and the two other officials will resign also adding, cryptically, that allies will walk away as well if she doesn't. He gives her until noon of the following day to make up her mind. This is later extended, grudgingly, to 24 hours. She takes the honourable decision and abdicates, opening this thread and giving Chris what he wants in order to make the best peace. And that, as far as I know, is a very basic synopsis. My problem:
a) I would like some part of TGE to survive but it wont if it's basically being propped up by certain alliances for reasons best known to themselves.
b) The non-stop backroom lunacy needs to come to a halt and the general membership start making some decisions for themselves for a change. Are they happy being used as pawns in some shambolic end-game?
c) I think Victoria was treated dreadfully in this whole affair. Fred used to get bored with the place every couple of weeks and dissapear and Chris didn't ask him to abdicate. When he pushed the colonies down our throats, Chris didn't ask him to abdicate. I think Chris is a decent enough bloke but I'm sorry, this is not the right way to change the place. It doesn't matter how many you recruit unless you have a independant and well-intentioned government in place. Otherwise, this is either just a terminal case of deja-vu or simply a terminal case.
I'm not attacking TGE. I have many happy memories of the place. I'm attacking those alliances who are using them and those people who wronged a very decent and hardworking individual.
