When you say Ulm ruined your game play experience - what you really mean is, before you were happy fighting a war ganging up 2:1, but you are not happy facing a war, where you are ganged up on 2:1. Thats the only thing thats changed.

In games, and in life, alliances change, and things change. When you declared war on me, sensing big advantage - I went to work full time defending myself militarily and diplomatically- and I capitalized on the tiny mistake that you had made.

Rather than blame ulm for ruining your expectation of victory, take your lumps learn from your mistakes, have fun, and move on.
Realize that every person in this game can read the charts and realizes that you are #1 in Research, and getting farther ahead.

However, since you are abdicating, and Ulm and I were the players that expended money, troops, and effort in securing your defeat, we want to put all nations on notice that we claim those territories and will brook no interference from other nations in claiming of that prize, but are happy to discuss other matters with all nations.
