30 Apr 16 UTC	Spring, 1998: GameMaster: LuckyKrumpets was banned: multi/meta/no reply. The time until the next phase has been extended by one phase length to give an opportunity to replace the player. Remember to finalize your orders if you don't want to wait, so the game isn't held up unnecessarily!
15 Jun 16 UTC	gg
15 Jun 16 UTC	Poland, what the hell was that? You helped Germany win rather than try to get a draw for yourself? Is there some metagaming happening here?
15 Jun 16 UTC	Nice game everyone, congrats Germany. Sorry about that eygpt I couldn't get to key points in time to hold him off . Plus some wrong guesses anticipating your moves.
15 Jun 16 UTC	nope, its draw size scoring. I was hoping to get a bigger share is all. I tried to have a truce with you a few times near the start but you kept attacking anyway so I had too as well (NB you never tried!). you put all your efforts into blocking me rather than germany, so i could say you let germany win! I felt we got on too well for me to go for the stab anyway. If that sort of play makes you feel so bitter and grumpy that you accuse people of cheating maybe you should find a new game? It's supposed to be fun, and those kind of accusations are not so pleasant as well. Maybe you could find something with just AI in to try instead? gg germany
15 Jun 16 UTC	I agree accusations aren't called for but your logic makes no sense at all.
15 Jun 16 UTC	you mean I have to stab people?
15 Jun 16 UTC	or did you see a way I could force a draw without fighting my ally?
15 Jun 16 UTC	Actually don't bother answering that. I know it's hard to be objective when everyone is concentrating on their own country in these things. Usually people at least refrain from whinging etc though. But before suggesting my logic has an obvious flaw, perhaps you might consider Egypts tactics of putting a disproportionate number of forces to defending against me in order to try to provoke me into attacking my ally as an illogical, or maybe stupid, thing to do? If you go back and try to look from my point of view, not only is it a unattractive to turn on somebody who has helped me, but I would almost be certain to come off worse at every point I could have perhaps initiated a move to attack. I would probably be in the exact same situation, if not worse
15 Jun 16 UTC	Of course not, just playing devil's advocate. I don't see how Italy allowed Germany to succeed. Looked to me like the war and block was on Germany. And draw size scoring is negated because of the solo sc gained.
15 Jun 16 UTC	I'm not a poor sport or a whiner, I actually haven't won a game but have drawn many. Therfore I enjoy the game no matter the result, understand loyalty, and always try to learn while having fun. I just believe your statements are contradictory.
16 Jun 16 UTC	As Germany I am surprised and sorry for Poland too, if not a draw-size scoring mechanism I could have vote for a draw before the final move to be fair (but the pot is just much bigger...). Good game by everyone, good defensive effort by Spain and Egypt.
