To clarify: I'm specifically interested in the idea of taking the game seriously enough that nobody ever quits. I want to do that, and I want to play with others who do that. And now I am finding out what happens when you do that. It does feel silly to finish this game, but sometimes doing silly things helps you learn!

I swear I could have saved Agartha's capital from Fomoria, if the guy had just stayed around for one more turn! I had about a dozen rings of tamed lightning all ready for his super-powerful earth mages to wear. But instead he lost interest, and staled on the exact turn when my offer of the rings reached him, so that when his mages retaliated they had no defense against lightning and they were slaughtered. People should not give up!

(Granted, a strong Agartha to rival Fomoria might only have made Pangaea's ascension easier, but the principle stands.)

Of course both of you guys have already played the way I want people to play; if you want to quit now that's fine. I will stay until the end.
