I'm quite sick of drama, but it seems pointless to work on a huge turn when the game seems to be being thrown. R'lyeh was completely capable of putting on a good defense of his VP (as I knew since he had a huge teleporting army that rdonj, while he was subbing r'lyeh a few turns back, had created under wraithlord's active help that countered my small assault force), but he left it completely undefended. There might be some explanation, though none strikes me as obvious, but he never responded to my pm's offering help.
So why put in time and effort for a fixed or thrown game?
It's too bad. This has, until now, been a truly epic game of Dominions.
I guess I'm interested in what the other players would like done? Of course I won't be playing any further games w/ Aristander (without some sort of good explanation), but I wouldn't be surprised if he's stopping playing. If I had done some dastardly backstab on him, or something, then I could understand it psychologically. But he attacked me; the only animosity he might hold would be due to me smacking him around some
edit: if players would like to continue anyways as is, I have the day off tomorrow and could do the turn.
