13 Mar 20 UTC Spring, 1844: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders.
11 Apr 20 UTC Autumn, 1848: GameMaster: United States voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
02 May 20 UTC GG Texas you did well.

However, I am a bit annoyed by Spain. When it was obvious Texas was pulling ahead and close to winning, I tried to show friendly relations with Spain. Spain however decided to just take my centers. Autumn of 1847 I had a stalemate line setup against Texas, but it failed because of Spain's attack.
02 May 20 UTC Congrats Texas and good game to all.

USA - sorry to hear that you feel frustrated, not so much for taking your SCs. I had limited possibilities for expansion, certainly wasnt going to happen against Texas. And you leaving your eastern coast exposed was too good and opportunity to leave.

Its clear you were playing for the stalemate/draw, which is fine. I tend not to go for that option when there are still possibilities to expand and until an absolute deadlock is reached.
02 May 20 UTC Yeah but why expand instead of helping me stop Texas? It isn't PPSC so taking more supply centers doesn't help you. If you were playing to get a better score, you would have helped me stop Texas. I put a draw vote in, but you didn't. If you had and had helped me, Texas would have most likely been forced to draw.
02 May 20 UTC Oh lol it is PPSC. Guess you just went for that instead of the draw.
02 May 20 UTC GG everyone
02 May 20 UTC If it was a WTA game I agree being more aggressive against the dominating side would've been called for. Although I do believe an attack on Texas would've led them to crush me in Canada and bottleneck or even make it into Mexico and Cuba.

In any case, the game was PPSC and I played accordingly.
