My assertion is that we have achieved total domination and our plan is to just crush the remaining players and take our time setting up whatever we want. *If* you concede that we can crush everyone else then the argument is moot. If you're pinning your hopes on me staling 6 times in a row or one of us backstabbing the other then I'll ask again for a concession because that's just not gonna happen. I've got no doubt that Ashdod and Eriu and to a lesser extent Marignon can cause some casualties and slow us down - which is the reason I'm asking for a concession rather than just moving for the victory. At this point though I can't imagine any situation where anyone successfully goes on the offense against our combined might - dom push + vamps + leech/l4l spam is gonna make assaulting vanheim a very daunting process before he even does anything fancy, while the bulk of my empire is underwater and massively castled.

In considering my request for concession I'd ask that you not be thinking about how you could fight us off, but to honestly ask yourself if there is any realistic chance at all for you to conquer us. Not one of us, but both of us working closely together. Not raiding some of my land and stalling for a bit or hitting and running Van out of dominion - pushing into our core and defeating us. If you have no realistic chance at doing that (which I honestly believe is the case) then we will eventually win even in the best case (for you) scenario that you stall us a considerable time.

But, if Ling really feels his Chayots are gonna make the difference his opinion is as valid as mine.
