To Renojustin:
So I was correct to estimate that Tien Chi was your ally from the beginning... It's surely comforting.
And as I've already said before, you were winning against him - as I've seen, he didn't have anything which would allow him to take VPs from you (he didn't look like having enough research to teleport something heavy enough at them, and in any case this could be stopped by Domes), and when he would attack Caelum, he would just allow you to take that VP faster. And with beating Abyssia & R'lyeh you would have enough iirc.
To Ich:
I at least am interested in them. Though they surely would take time to see through.
