I didn't break the stalemate line. That was germany. I had been supporting Russia at the end.

i thought for sure that was you who broke it.. *checks map*

Nope germany took Holland which made Russia disband in Berlin.

i apoligize profusely, Celtic. Now i feel like a dick -_-

Nigee.... i am so glad you didn't gain anything

i just thought it was you due the F Lvp build

Which I was going to use to support France in the Med.

my position was unbreakable in the Med, no way for Turkey to get through

Well I wanted to be on the safe side anyways :)

eh, didn't matter really. I bounced out out since i didn't anything to lose from it, since Turkey had a forced solo. And, if you had gotten in there, i would have thought you were taking my centers

I would of built London then.

and taking any of my centers would have destoryed my line, since i needed all my units

and Nigee, post odds so i can properly tear you apart!

cage match: Fortress vs. Nigee

Finally got my first solo! Couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you Germany, I was so pissed when i saw I was stalemated at 17, but I figured I would give it one more round to see if germany would be enticed by an open center. :D

It's a little early to call this thing over...3 more games to complete, and there is a definitely a disadvantage to having the early lead, since everyone knows what # of SCs they need now.

i feel like strangling Nigee.... :|. And you take my draw/win record down to 50 -_-. I had it at 51. Drat

Dang, I could have had marseilles with a cut on burgundy. But I was concerned with England taking an extra center at kiel.

lol, thank goodness you didn't :). i want my five earned centers

Shame on me, more after dinner. I can't help thinking though that if Russia had actually stayed in his own country and defended that rather than camping in Germany it may have been a bit closer, that is no excuse though at the end, it was a complete mistake of course and I wasn't happy ...... until I realised Mr Lee had popped his cherry.

Nigee, get in the cage. Time for a cage match!!!

Firstly apologies for my mishap, when you're playing over 30 games you don't always give enough attention to the games where you have 1 unit and I didn't even realize there was a stalemate line drawn up. More importantly congratulations to Gen. Lee, never having won a game going into this tourney, he started off as the 25/1 outsider and is now 5/1 on favourite to become champion. More points for FD, playing for the Runners-Up spot, I'm grateful to Steephie which should guarantee I don't finish last :-)

Odds:
Gen. Lee - 25/1 - 5/1 - 1/5F

Steephie22 - 16/1 - Non-Runner

just realized game one was a five way draw... that's not going to help GR

and seth has me beat, i am going for third.

5-way draw - what a bunch of losers. they should all get negative points for being pussies.

probably should have elminated Italy, but if i did England would've taken a bunch of my centers

miaow....

and, a bump :)

I do hate Austria. I vote +2 hadicap on Austria :P

General you're so near to winning, how does it feel?

Yeah, not going to happen...pretty sure you or seth will have the SCs in the bag and I'll give you one guess how many SCs I have coming from games 2 & 5...

I can assure you I'm not .......sadly :-(
