19 Jun 15 UTC Spring, 1: So this round is quasi-anon, thanks to inscrutable usernames. Who is who? I am Doug.
19 Jun 15 UTC Spring, 1: I hope doTheDougie claims to be Doug as well, so we can have maximum confusion.
19 Jun 15 UTC Spring, 1: I will punish such lies with ruthless tenacity.
19 Jun 15 UTC Spring, 1: I am Doug!
26 Jun 15 UTC Spring, 2: Oh right... I am Doug. I created this username to confuse peopl
04 Jul 15 UTC Spring, 3: Carthage I am not sure Hannibal would approve of your strategy.
04 Jul 15 UTC Spring, 3: Carthage wanted more Nile access, and the Pharaoh was interested in visiting Libya. We are merely effecting a center-swap. Nothing to see here!
04 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 3: He did succeed at making half of the ancient world look blue for a turn.
05 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 3: Is Sinai, connected to Thebes and Alexandria or just Thebes?
05 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 3: Sinai is connected to both. See

05 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 3: thanks
05 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 3: he's looking for the legendary Carthago Nova.
06 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 3: It looks like Greece needs another bailout by the Troika of Carthage, Persia and Rome. All he did succeed at maximizing the amount of square miles his empire encompasses vs the number of supply centers he has. That does seem to be a trend among declining powers...
10 Jul 15 UTC Spring, 4: The IMF seems willing but the ECB has closed the door.
10 Jul 15 UTC Spring, 4: You never know when a deal might be reached. I am sure if Greece give Byzantium ascollateral that might buy them another year.
11 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 4: Pat has this game pretty well locked up
12 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 4: Time to tidy the place up a bit! Let's start by mopping up in Greece, shall we?
13 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 4: Now is about the time when the rest of the board has to decide whether we're going to make the game interesting or let Pat walk away with a solo.

I would be happy with a 4-way draw once Greece is cut out. Rome, Carthage and Egypt can enforce that draw. Or we can all lose.
13 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 4: a 4 way draw? That would completely defeat the purpose of this map, since there are only 5 players.
17 Jul 15 UTC Autumn, 4: What delicious irony that whether Rome loses or draws is going to turn on whether he thinks he can win.
