YHN, we had two CD, Italy and Germany, with 5 and 4 SCs respectively.

Horrible game, but it ended at 5.20 am, and frankly I didn't expect it to last that much.

When you are Italy, and see that Turkey and Russia are cooperating, and see that Austria is playing to confine them, and also see that France is successfully attacking England, why are you going to cut Austria's support in Albania? WTF? To help Turkey?
Attacking without a plan or just without looking at the board.... And then CDing...!

SD never put "ready", a part the first two years. SD. I find hard to believe he needed 5 minutes to decide the moves. And then, obviously, waited 2 years to kill me because you can't stand a 4-way draw, no (I know you guys love to play like that, maybe I should learn to play for points, waiting for others' CD, playing to eliminate before the draw? No, the game would lose its fun).

Yeah it was a horrible game. Germany aswell as Italy CD both while they were still viable and with enough SCs. Both you and Splitdiplomat simply ignored that and plowed on.
The only thing i give SD credit for is that he never even put draw up while you, humble, did it when you thought you were in danger of loosing.
What a waste of time.
From SD i never expect anything else, with you Humble i would have expected differently.

BOV.. I wasn't in this game, but everyone always eliminates people to get a better draw... It's better GR,points... Better everything pretty much..

Indeed, Achillies, I said that I know that you all love to play like that, and you sure have your motivations (like GR, points, and such). It's probably just me, I'm used to f2f where you normally don't eliminate.
