06 Mar 16 UTC | Spring, 1: All, In about six hours, I'm leaving the internet-connected world for 30-32 hours. I'm sorry to do this on the first turn, but rather than potentially missing a round, I'm going to refrain from clicking Ready. The delay will mean that I don't miss anything, but anything else with me for this season needs to be soon, and I'll be absent the first part of next season. |

14 Mar 16 UTC | Spring, 3: lol |
18 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 4: Hey guys, do you want to call it a draw now? I have nothing more I can gain. I am close to a solo but given the Persian Egyptian alliance and strong defensive positions I am in no real position to gain it. I might take Chers but I am honestly happy with how this game has gone. Likewise the Persians and the Egyptians are in no position to make gains against me.I have discussed draws with both Egypt and Persia and have been told that they have discussed it between themselves. At this point I see no reason why anyone other that me would keep the game going and, since I don't think I can complete a solo I figure that there isn't much else I can gain. |
19 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 4: no |
19 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 4: What? You don't have any effect on the game at this point. |
19 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 4: Can i just take crete mate¿ |
19 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 4: I don't really care at this point. I am just going to hold. |
20 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 5: I have draw set. |
20 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 5: I draw yet |
20 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 5: Cool, game should end on end of this turn as a draw. |
20 Mar 16 UTC | Autumn, 5: Yep, we all have it set. As soon as Greece disbands or votes draw, it is done. Good game, everyone. |
20 Mar 16 UTC | Good game. I probably was in a position at the end to win the game if I had tried it but it would have taken forever |
20 Mar 16 UTC | It would have depended on how well I could have defeated your guys fleets. I have more and they are in nice position and there is practically no way that the Persian-Roman front would move much in either way but I may have had problems advancing against egypt if I couldn't totally take control of the oceans |
20 Mar 16 UTC | It was unusually balanced in my opinion. There was a moment when I could have grabbed Thaspus and didn't. You probably could have avoided that if we hadn't already been headed toward a draw, though. I tend to agree that it would have come down to a fleet battle, but I'm not sure you could have gotten multiple armies into Africa, and so some of your navy was going to be occupied in a holding action. It would have been very close whether we could have held you and progressed. And of course, even if we did, there is the inevitable stability problem as we start to grow and fear each other. Certainly, it would have been a long game, and no one made a terrible play in drawing it. A very enjoyable game, guys! I hope to play with you again. |
