02 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1: I have taken the Holy Land!
08 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 4: Record solo win time?
10 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 7: No?
10 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 7: Hannibal would be ashamed of me...
10 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 7: What do you guys think of drawing? I know I've probably pissed you both off but I'm feeling a lot more humble after that catastrophe.
10 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 7: I kinda want to see how this plays out.
11 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 7: I'm gonna have to say the same.
11 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 7: Fair enough.
12 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 8: I'm waving the white flag. This is over. Finish me or draw, the conclusion is inevitable based on what you guys want. Hannibal had a good run, but one bad season ruined everything. :(

Carthage is doomed to be salted and burned again.
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: I just wonder if you two will really be able to fairly split the points... or if someone will go take that tiny step to get just one more SC and win the whole thing, take home ALL the points.

It'd sure be messed up if one of you was already bargaining with me to screw the other over.
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: I'd prefer the draw.
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: I phoned it in years ago for this game and just wanted it done but this actually suddenly got a lot more interesting
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: You two ever heard of the Prisoner's Dilemma? It's a fascinating psychological and political concept. Look it up if you haven't, it's worth it.

This is really just like the Prisoner's Dilemma:
If you both collaborate you make mediocre gains.
If you both stab each other you have the potential to gain everything, but it's uncertain
If one of you stabs and the other collaborates... then the stabber gets everything.

The right decision is to stab no matter what the other person does.

You only need to be the one to stab first.

And I already know who that person is.
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: Well aware of the prisoners dilemma and the relevant game theory. Still not interested.
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: You're trying pretty hard to make sure Persia sees your chest thumping loyalty and dedication to this 2 way draw eh Rome? :)
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: Carthage, why don't you just hurry up and die already.
17 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 10: Im actually quite surprised by how this game has turned out.
19 Feb 16 UTC Good game.
19 Feb 16 UTC Great game indeed!
