12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [Kenya]:Esteemed fellow-players, it is obvious that I'm going for a solo. It seems possible, but far from definite, that I'll get a solo win. At this point, I can't accept a 4-way draw. A 3-way draw is what I had in the bag before the stab. I went for the only outcome better than a 3-way draw - the solo win. But now I see the risk of losing everything, so I'll put a proposal to all of you. I'm willing to accept any 3-way draw which includes me. If you have any proposals which will lead to such a 3-way draw, please put your proposals to me privately.
12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [Ghana]:Well nice try dude, but hopefully all left players are smart enough to get that this is just another way to go for a solo win, because your offer means to destroy one of your enemies for now making you even stronger and getting closer to the solo and as you already showed of you have no problem with stabbing your mates so this is really not trustable especially the "tell me privately" thing is very suspect to me. I know that this Announcement will make me an easy part to team up against, but i think there are exactly 3 options. 1. 4 way draw 2. Solo win of kenya (because he will backstab after getting stronger and at least 2 enemies) 3. 3 way without kenya cause he is the guy permanently changing the sites. And at last think for yourselves is the difference of 7 points (difference of 3 way draw(29 points) and 4 way draw (22 points)) worth to risk or is getting at least 22 Points better?
12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [China]:I am with Ghana, the only 3 way on the table is USA, Ghana and China. I am more than happy to accept the 4 way though.
12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [China]:Also I am also announcing that any future communications I have with Kenya will come here and only here. Kenya if you want to talk to me you have to do so in an open forum. I will ignore his personal communications.
12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [Kenya]:China's arguments are valid, except that he fails to mention the possibility that Kenya gets 86 points and everybody else gets zero, which might happen if I fight on because you guys insist on a 4-way split. If any two of you nominate a third who will be eliminated, I am prepared to stand absolutely still while the third is eliminated. So the choice is between two of you getting 29 points each, and the possibility that all of you get nothing.
12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [Kenya]:China, I sense your fear, but it is not necessarily you who will be nominated for elimination.
12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [China]:Your "3 way option" is also zero points for me because it's not really a 3 way, just a way for you to solo. So if you want to play it out, let's play it out; you have a tough front to fight through in Africa and Asia, and are outnumbered in South America and Europe. It's not impossible for you, but it's YOU who is choosing to role the dice from a guaranteed 4 way for a chance at a solo. Our draw votes are on the board.
12 Feb 14 UTC	Autumn, 2013: [Kenya]:Correct. If I have to choose between trying for a solo and participating in a 4-way draw, I choose to go for the solo. But I'm prepared to give up my solo aspirations if you guys come up with a 3-way.
13 Feb 14 UTC	[India]:Hmm. I suppose a 5-way draw is out of the question?
13 Feb 14 UTC	[Ghana]:Haha nice humor dude :D
13 Feb 14 UTC	[Kenya]:Sorry everybody. I spent the day kitesurfing, and I missed the process time. It just wrecked my chances.
13 Feb 14 UTC	[Kenya]:Thanks to all of you, and I'm sorry I finished with such an anticlimax.
13 Feb 14 UTC	[China]:Haha all that drama and India still gets in on it!
14 Feb 14 UTC	[India]:Hooray for Indian Casey!
