20 May 15 UTC	No points for us but i think has been a good game. We forced Sicily to accept a draw like befor with Poland. See you
20 May 15 UTC	Haha! Loved that I survived. Had a rough start but hopefully gave poland some stress for as long as i could!
20 May 15 UTC	Stress? Is that what that was? You lucked into the draw by having a center that could only be taken by fleet, and Sicily -- the only one that ultimately could have removed you -- rightfully chose to focus on winning instead of picking up my signs inviting him to narrow the draw to three, and then opted to accept the draw rather than go through a few years of tense maneuvering for the sole purpose of ejecting you. Now, Ireland....oh, Ireland. You Jekyll and Hyde, you. I thoroughly enjoyed our cooperation for the first two thirds of the game. It was looking probable -- to me, anyway -- that we were headed for a three-way draw with Sicily. As my numbers, and our mutual trust, continued to grow, I was on the lookout for my opening to go for the solo. Just before I planned to do so, your draw vote went up. I had to make the effort, and you moved simultaneously to prevent it. At that point, it should have been a matter of job well done, let's clear the board and narrow the draw. Instead, despite the fact that I had no chance of advancing, and despite my giving every signal I possibly could -- hell, I GAVE you four centers right away so you could build to seal off Sicily -- you just threw everything you had in my direction, leaving yourself wide open to Sicily. You might as well have left a sign reading, "Please stab me Sicily -- free centers, all you can take!" OF COURSE he attacked. You did a good job of righting your course, finally, and then an NMR? At THAT point in the game?!? Holy shit, that was frustrating. If this game was lost because of that....... All-in-all, a pretty good game, especially for what look like a pretty inexperienced roster. Lots of ebb and flow, and tremendously hard-fought battles along the way. Ukraine, don't let my statements above take away from the fact that you and Hungary put up a good fight for a long time. You both were deserving of some reward -- though I still would have eliminated you both ;) I was amazed to see you stabbing each other, it's what led to your crumbling position and allowed me to become a solo threat. raapers2, as always, a very well-played game. In my mental roster for an ideal gunboat game, you are always included.
20 May 15 UTC	Good recap. But there was about an 11 year span where I made some good reads on your moves and may have prevented you from the quick solo you were on track to do. But enough on that. GG on a great variant
21 May 15 UTC	Yes I GG I wish that Ukraine and I hadnt fought and I believe I was the one who started it, had I avoided this mistake I may have still made it, but a fun game all around and thanks to Sicily for not destroying me but instead using me as his anti-poland pawn
21 May 15 UTC	This game was horrible for me.
