29 Apr 20 UTC Spring, 5: 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.
19 May 20 UTC How unsportsmanlike of you Ravintsara - giving the game away on purpose. Horrible play.
19 May 20 UTC What did you do to keep him from winning? He didn't want to share the victory with you or with me. And yet you attacked me at the same time as him. Did you think you were winning? Or did you know you were just helping him?
19 May 20 UTC Dude, you moved your armies out of his way, then decommissioned remaining units. He simply walked in.

I expected a 3 way draw. You could have held him/worst case slowed him down. But you didn't even try. Sad play.
19 May 20 UTC The last 6 SCs he took were all from you. He never took one of mine.
19 May 20 UTC A draw ? No, I don't believe it. How you wanted me to slow it down ... you attacked me too! If you wanted me to resist, you had to let me defend myself. You only helped him. His victory is thanks to you too.
19 May 20 UTC By attacking me, you could have won one or two centers. But you were just helping him take more.
The draw, he could have accepted for a long time, if he had wanted. But I think you were deluding yourself.
19 May 20 UTC Spring 11' army phazania moves to Sahara, why not cirta or bounce in numidia with fleet gulf of tacape? which, btw moves to Punic sea. In this turn, Egypt has yet to move against me. But after this turn, a win for Egypt becomes obviously possible. Your moves looked like a misorders. But as we shall see, your fall 11 orders are mover of the same.
19 May 20 UTC Do not call me a bad player, when you are also at fault for his victory. I know that it is wrong to give centers, it is not at all in my way of doing things. It’s even the first time I’ve done it.
I wanted you to understand that your logic is bad.
19 May 20 UTC Fall orders, I reposition and everything holds. Egypt still not moving against me. Sahara moves to Mauretania and Punic to Sicilia? Why? Why not Cirta and Thapsus? What is gulf of Sirtis doing? nothing. Then you go an destroy the two units who can hold back the yellow horde. Come on man! that's bullshit play.
19 May 20 UTC Whether I defend myself or not against Egypt, anyway, I would lose since you are two against me. You have chosen to support him in his fight. In the long run, he would have had his solo with your help.
19 May 20 UTC No need to describe all my orders. Yes, I voluntarily donated my centers. Why fight. You decided to help him win, right?
19 May 20 UTC In Spring 12, I move east to counter yellow. You're still sitting and holding the line. Too late anyway as there's no units to hold Cirta and Thapsus. Sicilia sits and holds Aussonian? Why?

I feel like you deliberately threw the game to Egypt. No offense Chumbles, but that's got to be the easiest win: Lepsis, Numidia, Cirta, Thapsus, Cartage, and Saguntum without any blue in your way.
19 May 20 UTC Nope, I tried to hold the line for the draw.
19 May 20 UTC I no longer wanted to fight anyway. I hadn't wanted to betray Egypt when I could, but I couldn't move on. And when I saw you, quickly quickly quickly, attacking me behind him, I thought it sucked. You chose to help him, whether you wanted to or not and I had to be the pigeon who was to give you the answer for your pleasure. If you wanted me to defend myself, you shouldn't attack me. And sorry for my bad english, it's not my language.
19 May 20 UTC "Nope, I tried to hold the line for the draw" : I saw you attack me when Egypt turned against me. You occupied my troops and I could not defend myself against him. You had to stay neutral if you were afraid to attack him.
19 May 20 UTC When you defended yourself against him, I did not take the opportunity to attack you.
19 May 20 UTC I would agree, super un-impressed with the poor sportsmanship here - Ravintsara and Chumbles were clearly working together to begin with, despite messaging being banned, then on obvious thrown game from there. ridiculous - hope I'm never in another game with you too.

19 May 20 UTC "despite messaging being banned." -> There was no message. Simply an order placed in the first year. No need for more. But if you think we have cheated, you can point us out in moderation.
19 May 20 UTC CondiRice: I took advantage of the situation. Your unsubstantiated accusation of collusion is disgusting, unwarranted and breaches the house rules. Withdraw it or I will escalate your bad behaviour to the attention of the mods.

For the record, I have had no contact whatsoever with Ravintsara before or during the game. I've never cheated in 70 years and would get no satisfaction from so doing; neither can I see how such collusion could have been orchestrated
