12 Jan 16 UTC	Spring, 1: Good luck, all!
12 Jan 16 UTC	Spring, 1: May the winds of fortune convey you swiftly to victory!
12 Jan 16 UTC	Spring, 1: Best of luck, everyone.
12 Jan 16 UTC	Spring, 1: Good luck all
13 Jan 16 UTC	Spring, 1: ...and Egypt is late to the party. Sorry for the delay, I'll have replied to everyone who messaged me by the end of the day. Good luck to all!
13 Jan 16 UTC	Spring, 1: Welcome aboard. I was just about to open a discussion on what to do if you didn't show. Glad that concern can now be dropped.
29 Jan 16 UTC	Autumn, 4: Now's the part where I sell my soul to the highest bidder in exchange for a survival...
01 Feb 16 UTC	Autumn, 5: Good game all.
01 Feb 16 UTC	Autumn, 5: Well, that was pretty decisive.
01 Feb 16 UTC	Autumn, 5: Does anyone know when we can set draw? Is it only among people retaining SCs, or would the units screw us up if we don't wait for the disband?
01 Feb 16 UTC	Autumn, 5: I don't see why the units would screw it up, since the points are based on SCs. Persia and I would each get 0. But the purist in me says that Persia and I deserve a defeat and you guys should wait till we're actually eliminated...
01 Feb 16 UTC	Autumn, 5: Good game :)
02 Feb 16 UTC	Autumn, 5: Carthage: There's an interesting point that I never even considered. Definitely something I'll look in to for future games. Good game guys.
02 Feb 16 UTC	Autumn, 5: I forgot this was SoS. I've set draw.
02 Feb 16 UTC	I've put up my draw.
02 Feb 16 UTC	Good game, all! Enjoyed it.
02 Feb 16 UTC	Agreed. I'd have loved to try a solo run, but, but I'd have quickly been crushed if I had...the opportunity to successfully solo never really presented itself... Good game all--it's tough to survive when you're getting squeezed by both sides.
02 Feb 16 UTC	Good game guys. There was really no avenue for any one of us to even get in position to solo. I don't have much experience with this variant, but I think that's a major drawback of the layout.
02 Feb 16 UTC	I'm also fairly new to this variant, and this was my first full-press game on it. My three gunboat games all had solos - I think it's actually pretty easy to solo in gunboat if you can make an ally early and then exploit everybody else's conflicts.
02 Feb 16 UTC	I've never seen Rome and Greece not start out as allies, which makes them very strong in the game. I think the toughest is Persia. The most common dynamic is Greece and Egypt beating on Persia while Rome and Carthage get bogged down. I've soloed as Egypt and it had that dynamic, but Perisa focused more on Greece so I took most of Perisa and just followed through into Greece. I'd love to look at a game where Carthage or Persia soloed.
