Ermor and Vanheim have both told me they recognize they cannot prevail-and that they concede.

While I have never met Llamabeast before this MP game, we have been allies from the start. And while I would fight an enemy to the bitter end, I will accept a co-champion ending with a friend.

I do think I could ultimately prevail-as I am sure Llamabeast does as well. The map is evenly split. But the game has gone on for over 5 months, and it would be a hard grind for either of us to prevail.

This game had many very experienced players in it. All of the best races were represented, Pythium, Ermor, Ryleh, Caelum, Arcos., Marignon, Man, Vanheim, and Pangaea(i feel bad for shinuyama). And there were many high level battles and wars.

It was also my 1st big mp game with players from this forum. And I learned some new things-many of them the hard way. But hopefully I was able to bring some new tactics to these players as well. Who else plays pangaea with a heavy drain scale?

I did some small blood hunting this game-something I rarely do. But I saw early on the high caliber of play in this game, and knew that if I refused to blood hunt, I likely would not have a fighting chance to prevail. So it is a example of the high level of skill the players in this game have that I was forced to rely on armies of Vampire Lords and blood magic to supplement my armies.

I did not make Blood Stones, however. Micromanagement does have its limits!

Good Game All!
