Oh lord... ok here is my EoG... that... that was just awful.... that was possibly my worst play ever, and my biggest meltdown, and I just wanted it over from turn 1... as Russia-
I tried to talk to every neighbor I had... Japan didn't talk back, but I chose to try to show him I wanted to work with him by not being aggressive... he returned the favor by taking one of my centers, still not having said a word. I chose to trust him when I shouldn't have, HOPING he would accept my offer even without saying so... no such luck. Then China supports Germany against me, but Germany(who I thought was an ally) didn't attack. then the next turn, Germany attacks me but China doesn't support. at this point I was already irritated by the argument on global about Japan, so I just said screw that front and let it die. I then went after Austria in an effort to make friends with other European powers, who then all attacked me after I blew up in the face of Austria and Italy(Holy and Nemesis) and accused them of metagaming(I knew who they were at this point)... I took my accusations to Oli, and he said that they in fact were not metagaming, so I promptly apologized to everyone. I also had asked him to remove me from the game because it was really starting to get to me and make me act like someone I wasn't, but he refused, so I stuck it out. anyways, so after that Germany went CD, so I started pushing into him to A) try to make a run from my ever-shrinking lands in Russia and B) get them before Austria/Britain did and encircled me... then tt came in, and said I could keep Berlin. then he told me he was taking it back, and I didn't have a choice but to give it back... so I attacked full force. then he left shortly after that and I just finished him off... then I just sat around waiting for the end of a horrible game...
