You talk too much.

That's been said before. You should see me when I get REALLY worked up about something.

I just hate to see a game 'fouled' or bad feelings engendered by my leaving, when I might've avoided this by leaving in a "better" manner. Not sure if that actually would have been possible, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Do what you think is best before leaving the game.

After all, it's just a game, and it's time for an alliance to win.

Yes, and that, ironically, makes it all the more important that I make it perfectly clear that there was
1) no harm no foul - either intended or taken - by anyone, hopefully
2) I meant no disruption by my leaving - in or out of game
3) I REALLY thought that it made perfect sense to do what I did (ie: cede RCC to Thermolia) given what had gone on in the game earlier and the strategic situation. Again, my misperception.

Too bad if this victory is helped by player's abandonments.

Well, my take is not that it is an "abandonment" but a political development. Politics is affected by "events" in reality - it's like the sudden collapse of the USSR or the revolution in France: no one could have predicted it, but it happened and it's a fact of life. I find it fascinating to examine how states respond to "big changes" like that - "something big happens that you aren't ready for, how do you deal with it?" And SEIV, being, partly, a strategic "simulation," is one way of observing such reactions.

Nevermind. I'm "talking too much" again.
