['Hey there. What are your thoughts on an anti-English opening, like a sea lion, as Germany? If you enjoy something like that then we might make good allies.', "Bonjour--not sure what a 'sea lion' is!", "It's when a lion is stranded at sea, like in the life of pi.", "That was a tiger. Let me know what you'd like me to do--I imagine it involves letting you take Belgium?", 'Good point. Sea tiger sounds more menacing anyway. \n\nIt all depends on how you like to play Germany and your relationship with Russia. I can be flexible, and if it makes sense for me to have Belgium to set up for a future play then that is good with me.']
Admittedly, I've never played this game before! Don't go spreading that around
