Jeezum-i hate quiet game threads.

Let me liven it up a bit:

Some races with SC pretenders, who sit in the hall of fame, have decided to blast ahead for an early lead in provinces/income/gems. A bold strategy to be sure. But also tends to make neighbors worry a bit.

Another drawback to blitz type expansion with your pretender is shown by a glance at the Hall of Fame. Two races have already lost their pretenders. Which reminds me of the story about a race between a turtle and a hare......
