Heheheh, thanks guys.

Sorry to take your battles from you... I actually do feel bad about that. I know that some of you were fighting some hot and heavy wars. If it makes you feel any better, I actually had some preparation to hold enough of those provinces to win for a single turn. On the possibility that some of my raids would fail and I would fall short by one VP, you know? Like 3-4k gold in the bank to buy absurd amounts of PD. And arch theurgs waiting to teleport in to support endangered provs.
Moral of the story: Never trust the astral player in a VP game
