Egypt, nice job....when you decided to put the pressure on, you kept it going. Germany thanks for jumping in, even if you were pushing me back. Good game all!

Yeah, you were kicking ass Egypt. Thanks for agreeing to the draw.
Sorry for trying to cut you out Italy, especially after Russia killed himself, that probably was not the wisest course of action.
Good luck in your future battles everyone.

Of course it was the wisest course of action. I didn't want to be stuck in a game where I had 1 SC for the next 10 moves. You lot got lucky that Egypt didn't attempt the solo any further, with you guys fighting so much.

Oh goodness. My comment regarding "not the wisest course of action" refers to me continuing to press against Italy, not to your suicide.
However, I do not agree with the policy of killing oneself when there is still a chance to end up in a draw. Further, had you simply stayed in Gorky I think forcing the draw along stale mate lines would have been achievable. And in that case you would have finished in the draw.
Of course after you blew up that plan, yes I agree forcing Egypt to draw would have been tougher.

All I'm saying is that one should look at more than just what is the most strategic right action. I didn't see myself having time right now that longshot of a draw. Especially because of you and Italy's continuing fighting.

Good game guys. I did not have the time to push this game through so I was glad you all proposed draw. But I honestly would have waited for Russia to be gone to draw the game (sorry Russia).
