I was really, really disappointed that you screwed me over ulytau... I never move on you and then you become yebellz's bitch as you go out? I thought that was pretty pathetic. And then I don't know what the hell mapleleaf or anyone in the south was doing either... That was the worst gunboat game I have been in a while.

Nevertheless, great job yebellz!

I agree completely with uclabb. Maniac was a complete disappointment as Austria - he made the game very difficult and was the reason we failed to set up a stalemate in time, everyone else got it except for him.

Sorry, I made a mistake there - I meant Troodonte as Austria, not Maniac.

Trodonte too.... I couldn't figure out why Tyrolia refused to support Munich's hold.

Well, uclabb, you failed to dent France (why didn't you cut that support from Burgundy with Munich?) and considering mapleleaf opened North, I didn't really have much leeway to survive. I think people generally assume screwing over the guy who made them lose is a goal as well and that's what I did. You were an ally who I counted upon but you didn't advanced neither to France or Russia. After I screwed myself (because yes, that was my worst gunboat performance ever and I apologize that it came in such an important match), you were the next in line.

I think I know when you are talking about, and I didn't move to Burgundy because Italy was moving to Munich, I already had a build coming, and it seemed unlikely that at least one of Brest and MAO wouldn't cut English Channel. I supported you to Norway that turn. Had you not literally forfeited all of England by giving Liverpool away for free (and everything else right after that), we would have been fine.

And what are you talking about I didn't advance on Russia. I took Sweden and supported you back into Norway that turn. You are just trying to make stuff up to rationalize your implosion.

Good game, everyone.

I'm very pleased to take the solo. I think I played well enough to earn it, but I certainly caught some big breaks. Many things that were beyond my control just happened to fall in my favor.

I was handed a golden position, and frankly I'm happy I didn't squander it and have to settle for a draw.

I'm to blame for Austria's play. I was in Tyr, '05, not Troodonte, and I was also the one who NMRd twice.

My apologies to everyone involved. I knew I was going to be busy in RL, but it's been more than I expected :)

Best of luck the rest of the way.

oh well... not that I don't assume my moves when I make them, but really... I took over Austria and played only 3 or 4 moves I think... The game was won already.

I hope there is a good reason for 3-Y to be still paused. No need to give details, so anonimity isn't compromised.

3-Y is unpaused now and only a year behind.
I'll be updating the score page tonight, that way you'll all know where you stand.

gameID=68339 is finished.
Well played urallLESBIANS and Sargmacher. I had to risk giving away the game near the end to ensure you wouldn't eliminate me for a 2-way.

arrgh...so close. JesusPetry and Sargmacher, you both played incredibly well.

And I'm tempted to apologize to hammoc for utterly wiping you out, but you'll have to think of it as punishment for taking Vienna from me. I was willing to support you into Serbia, Greece, and even Smyrna. You can check the order logs for proof.

Brilliant finish, JP, urall, and Sarg! I love seeing games come down to a razor finish.

Wow, I'm in 2nd place. I should savour it while it lasts - I doubt I'll be progressing, unfortunately.
