the game is still going, whatever storm's self-righteous spaz.
he should be looking for a substitute.
Frankly, we've only been fighting for 3 turns, and I offered to w/draw my acceptance of a combined victory. as such, storm's claim that

is an out and out lie. I don't much care whether there's an alliance victory or not, though long endgames bore me.
Let us be clear: storm's extremely aggressive diplomacy towards both me and quantum alienated both of us - even though all my initial plans for the game originally involved looking for an ally against quantum's pangaia. However, storm was just so irritating and self-righteous both of us eventually coalesced against him. And, to us, he looked to be the strongest as he had just taken out most of the southern continent.
What then happened was that storm put forth a lot of bragging and trash talk. frankly, i believed him as to his capabilites and fully expected to lose two armies this past turn; especially since he's played far more endgames than I have. However, it was all hot air, and this Last turn he blew most of his prime units on obviously risky and unthought-out attacks. This is why he now wants to find some excuse to quit, not any supposed victory agreement between me and quantum.
Remember: this was his game, his "no quitters" game.

10 times? that's bizarre, and quite untrue are you saying that I had 80+ SCs? (since you had at least 8 that i even knew about, including an allfather, 2 air queens, 2 water queens, an AQ mummy, and tartarians). my gem income was slightly higher, and my army better (though unknown to me, as I did not know what storm's forces consisted of).

All I can say is that if I wanted to win the game in such manner, I would won it twice already, beyond any doubts.

but here we see the essence of storm's mental processes: he seems to need to convince himself that he deserves to win so badly that he w/draws into fantasy. Machaka also offered me an alliance; and at the stage where storm was offered the alliance, Machaka had already been largely eviscerated by the war and had absolutely no forces to send against me; much less sufficient forces to destroy me lol. Storm was uninterested in an alliance w/ machak because he expected to take out all of machaka's remaining territory, which he almost did.
Anyways, the alliance victory no longer holds (it was never set in stone anyways - as I just told quantum that I would accept one), since storm is being so whiny about it.
No quitters huh? LOL
