Due to the nature of negotiations occurring in a backdated fashion combined with the fast moving nature of warfare in the Italian Peninsula, moving forward a mega thread of all war participants should occur in the comments of this mod post.

If you desire to, or believe you will likely, participate in the war for the campaign season please indicate so, along with the date, in the comments of this mod post. This is expected even of participants of on-going negotiations, so that should they break down there is no need for retro posting. Additionally, mercenaries hired by a participant should be specified as replies to their employer, just as they were before comments to the war posts of their employer.

We hope this will resolve some of the confusion that comes with the nature of warfare in Italy, and will be easier to track for both players and moderators.
