16 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 1501: (gnomius): Hi everyone, and good luck!
21 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 1502: I'm so sorry guys for slowing the game. I'm doing my best, but I couldn't decide. Also I had almost no time for looking at the current situation. I hope this situation will not happen to me again.
22 Sep 18 UTC Spring, 1502: Don't worry! It was not an NMR, so everything is ok!
24 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 1502: Sigh... again Rajput?
24 Sep 18 UTC Autumn, 1502: Now that was a NMR. I'm still playing.
07 Oct 18 UTC Autumn, 1505: Hey, sorry about the late move, guys. I almost don't make it...
15 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1509: Ah, now there it is. Mughal tempting Gond into the solo with front line disbands. Interesting indeed.
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: This is the lamest endgame I've seen in a long time. Was this your plan from the beginning?
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: Hmmm... Who is the question for? The three of us? :-)
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: My plan was allying with Persia as long as it was feasible and counting on a stab from either of you to make my chance
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: But a/ didn't you stab your ally? and b/ you didn't really communicate much diplomatically with either of us until too late in the game...
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: a/ Yes, and you guys should try that too. b/ I'm not used to communicating every step of it, and when you were near and relevant enough for communication you were already clearly allied
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: Mughal - mate we're not all easy stabbers. Stabbing is common in these games, I agree, but isn't trust and mutual enjoyment also nice?

And in these games, its always good to establish cordial relations with everyone through the game, not just when you need them. By then, its usually too late.
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: And I'd like to add: if you are an easy stabber (and I'm afraid that was easy to spot in your case), people will be less inclined to trust your word after that.
17 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: I mean, your plan was ok, we are not judging you for stabbing, that's for sure part of the game. :-)

But IMHO you stabbed Persia too early.
18 Oct 18 UTC Spring, 1510: And very unnecessarily in my biased opinion.

Just out of curiosity, Godwana, did I get close to breaking your alliance at some point back when I was relevant?
18 Oct 18 UTC Autumn, 1510: Not really, sorry. I had already decided that I would hold the alliance until the end.
19 Oct 18 UTC Likewise, I had determined exactly the same though of course i was aware of the possibility of the stab.
19 Oct 18 UTC Anyway, now we are ready for the draw?
19 Oct 18 UTC Yes, we are. Vote cast. :-)

Gents, it's been a pleasure.
