Heh. I got another strike to the jaw recently by Man, no doubt about it.

You know, while every single other player is obsessing on me, me, and only me...you may want to notice that C'tis has more castles than I do, and has been very quietly building Tartarians for almost twenty turns now (based on when his Well of Misery went up). Or that Pangaea has built up an army as large as my own with fewer provinces and no true opposition for most of the game, whereas I've been at war pretty much nonstop.

I'm not trying to say I'm not the biggest threat--just that second place isn't very far behind me at all. It's no coincidence that Pangaea is bleating and pointing "Look over there! Not over here! Isn't Ermor big and nasty? Look over there!" ; ) If you all do focus on me exclusively, all you'll be doing is playing Kingmaker, taking my chance of winning and handing it to C'tis, Pangaea, or Machaka.

And if I'm such a threat to winning the game, why can't I get rid of Agartha? Why is Vanheim giving me so much trouble? Why did Man defeat one of my main armies so handily?

The answer is, I'm not as much a threat as I seem--but I am a convenient target for other threats to point to and use as a smokescreen. ; )

And yes, if I am defeated I will come back to point out this post and say "I told you so".

Anyone that wants peace and a NAP with me--except maybe Agartha, sorry. ; )--can have it. I have stated time and time again that I do not want to fight. Except for Abysia, who brought vengeance upon himself, all of my foes so far have attacked me...

Edit: Changed Sauromatia to Machaka.
