Well to be honest, the original plan that I had offered to Chris, was that I wanted to see him win (since he had such a powerful start, and I was so small). With all of those Pearls going straight into his Seraph production, and with the hideous ravaging that I was taking from R'lyeh, it was highly unlikely I could have even dreamed of overtaking Marignon in a 1v1 fight.
But, although you did stay stuck on me with a vengeance, I was more referring to the original player (too lazy to check first post to remind me who). He was
really angry with me at the start of the war, and it affected his judgement somewhat. But I played the turtle, and he was afraid to go "all in" against me, as if he sensed that was exactly what I wanted him to do, so I could find his weakness and exploit it.
But, he avoided that fate by just trying to wear me down, and in the meantime Chris just started dismantling R'lyeh with great speed.
I don't even think he much likes Marignon, it's kind of funny really, cause he played them to the hilt.
Oh and at the end there, my income was about 700, and my upkeep was over 1000. It sucked pretty badly. Though if I hadn't been getting an allowance from Marignon, I probably wouldn't have been sending him all those Pearls, so I could have found a buyer for some I'm sure (though is that self defeating? sell someone the Pearls they need to Dispel your own Nexus.....).
