See? That shows how mean Marignon is! They went and kill-stealed you!
Well, it sounds like you had a ton of fun, and that's what's important! And I guess we did get to play another game together, although this time we've had absolutely no interaction except for gem trades... Ah well! Maybe either of us will win one someday!
Since things are pretty much in the open and that we know the identity of all the players (except for Marignon which narrows it down a lot), I got a question for Corinthian: Why did you judge my starting position to have been one of the best?
All I could scrounge up was 8 provinces in a tiny peninsula (I could have had a few more without an early troglodyte earthquake and a Bogus killing parts of my army and if I had made fewer mistakes, but I would have gotten 10 at best), hemmed in by T'ien Ch'i, Fomoria and R'Yleh's capital was right on my shore. I wasn't any closer to the corner than Fomoria was (which was juged as an horrible starting location).
I did have a comfy and swell spot when you made your analysis, but the only reason I had it was because it was taken from T'ien Ch'is hand and that R'Yleh was gone. I'm also slightly upset that you mentionned that I was sitting on my *** doing nothing: I've been at war since turn 12 (where R'yleh and me declared war on each other the exact same turn) with about 6 turns of peace in between at most. My wars were incredibly slow and not terribly effective, but I was still actively fighting them
