I'm not really saying you did anything wrong Calahan. If the roles were reversed I might have done the same as you. But that doesnt change the fact that it was a hollow victory for you given the fact that like it or not you were the only one that knew what the victory conditions were. You can make the case all you want that that the victory conditions were stated and that everyone should know what they are and that is also true. But yet in the end it would seem that You were the only one in the game that still recalled what the victory conditions were. The rest of us were playing as if it was a normal victory by concession game.

The only way it would have been a meaningful victory for you is if the rest of us had known what the victory conditions were. You could have alleviated that by stating in the thread here on the first turn that you believed you qualified for the 50% capital control to give the rest of us time to say "huh? Oh ****! This isnt a concession game?" But you chose not to do that which again who knows Maybe I'd have done the exact same as you. But I have to think that you would have realized "hey I dont think PsiSoldier or the others remember this is a victory point game I'll just keep this under wraps and then surprise them and say Hey I win!!"

Yeah maybe you thought we just didnt have scouts and didnt know but I do and I did, I just didnt care because for the 100th time I didnt realize it wasnt a standard victory by concession game.
So yeah, I'm mad and I cant even say that you did anything wrong because you didnt really. It was a little underhanded for you to have not announced that you intended to claim victory in 3 turns but officially that wasn't a requirement.


All that said I have an offer for you. I am more than willing to put my money where my mouth is. If you want to roll back to the first turn you controlled 7 capitals so that we now all know the conditions and you STILL win Ive got 50 dollars for you via paypal. Or if you want to just continue as with the current turn switch to concession victory and you somehow manage to win Ive got 100 dollars for you. If you loose, you pay nothing. If you win you get a few bucks.

I'm not entirely 100% sure that I can take one of the capitals from you in that short time but I think that 30 Iron Dragons and a few siege golems and several extremely potent SC's might be able to storm one of your forts in short order.


*And for the record.. I am dealing with problems with Tech support with stupid Nero's Liquid TV that isnt working and the bastards are NOT helping me and its not a toll free number and the ****ers keep saying they will call back because they only have one person that knows the Liquid TV and they dont call back and when I finaly got someone who didnt give me that same line they just say "Oh well your Firewall is blocking it" And I UNINSTALLED my fire wall and disabled the firewall in the router. Which I told the idiot that and he's like "Well I dont know what to say, its your firewall" Bahhh!!! So I formated my computer and reinstalled windows to try Liquid TV with a fresh install just on the off chance that something else on my computer was messing with it and it still didnt work and and now for some reason my stupid Ethernet quits working every 4 minutes and I have to reboot to do anything on the internet because I cannot disable and re-enable the connection and so it looks like I'm going to have to format my computer and start over yet again. And to top it all off last night I bought an MP3 player from Newegg and the bastards somehow double charged me causing my account to be overdrawn and I'm facing like 3 30 dollar overdraft charges because of it when I should have money to spare And then had a flat tire on the way to work this morning which I cannot get fixed because I dont have cash until Newegg re-imburses me the money the stole from me which hopefully happens before the bank takes the overdraft charges from my account...

So Yeah... If I sound a little extra pissed in my comments in the thread here I just wanted you to know that its not exactly your fault I'm probably just letting a little bit of that anger from all that **** show up in what I write here. And for that I am very sorry.
