As requested by Varxsea the negotiations with Guerrand:
The Varxsean side of the negotiations
[17:46:03] <Ghaz> Guerrand also agrees to peace negotiations, if you demilitarize the borders and demobilize upon which guerrand will do the same
[17:46:09] <Ghaz> once they have proof that you begin demobilizing
[17:47:07] <Taricus> We'll only being demobilising once they start to do, though we cannot afford to demilitarise the borders unless they also do so as well.
[17:55:00] <Ghaz> Guerrand refuses
[17:56:36] <Taricus> Unless the demilitarisation is mutual what assurances do we have that Guerrand isn't just going to break the ceasefire?
[17:57:48] <Ghaz> they are willing to have peace talks while mobilization is still ongoing
[17:58:36] <Taricus> We need a much stronger guarantee than that.
[18:13:48] <Ghaz> Guerrand reminds you that you started this and that the word of guerrand should be enough
[18:16:31] <Taricus> We did not start this, and it is their mobilisation that prompted ours. Furthermore, the weight of Guerrand's words is nothing for Varxsea and presume our words are likewise for them. While we're happy to work towards de-escalation, so long as guerrand is mobilised we have no trust that there's any interest on the guerrandese side to de-escalate the situation.
[18:22:47] <Ghaz> Guerrandese answer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSo0duY7-9s[18:24:51] <Taricus> Alright, we tried, and they had their heads too far up their asses to realise this had to be mutual for it to work.
[18:25:25] <Taricus> Full transcripts of the negotiations are produced and sent to all other powers.
[18:25:53] <Taricus> Let all know that while we were willing to work for peace Guerrand merely sought to slake their thirst for bloodshed.
the Guerrandese side of the negotiations
[17:24:30] <Ghaz> With both sides mobilized, Varxsea sends an Official Diplomat with a call for a ceasefire until a proper peace conference can begin in the next year to sort out business.
[17:42:31] <DigitalHellhound> Guerrand will of course talk peace, granted that Varxsea first ceases all interference in territories rightfully belonging to Granif and demobilizes their forces.
[17:43:11] <DigitalHellhound> Guerrand will of course also demobilize when they have proof of Varxsea doing the same.
[17:49:03] <Ghaz> Varxsea will demobilize if Guerrand demobilizes first
[17:49:18] <Ghaz> and will demilitarize its borders only if Guerrand does as well
[17:49:31] <Ghaz> they are however willing to do peace talks while still mobilized
[17:50:31] <DigitalHellhound> Varxsea can suck my big fat border wa- I mean, that's satisfactory.
[17:51:09] <DigitalHellhound> Guerrand doesn't let its guard down, obviously.
[18:01:25] <Ghaz> Varxea wants guaratees that guerrand will not break the ceasefire
[18:12:05] <DigitalHellhound> Guerrand reminds Varxsea that it was their troop movements that started this and adds that the word of Guerrand should be enough
[18:20:52] <Ghaz> Well then: Varxsea doesn't trust your word, their mobilization is due to your mobilization and while they would like to work on de-escalation, they have currently no trust in your will to do so
[18:22:18] <DigitalHellhound> The Guerrandese diplomat performs these ancient diplomatic manouvers:
