I will be gone before you Y, if it's any consolation. 11 Niefel Jarls standing on my cap. Killed a couple of them before the rollbacks, but with so many it was only a matter of time.

3 things I learned:

1) Scouting is very important, and C'tis has the worst scouting in history.

2) If there is a nightmare start for C'tis it would be within 3 steps of Niefelheim. I'd have been gone long ago if he wasn't busy with others too.

3) Rollbacks really can screw up your perception of game flow. Concentration suffers, when you remember having done something, but you never really did it. Whether it's forging an item, or adjusting research priorities, or any of so many things that we do each turn.

Anyway, I'm in it til the end, but my turns will be short now. Congrats Xanatos, you killed me before my plan for global domination could be implemented - GG all!

I'm also nearly eliminated (second game today!). It was fun and I enjoyed our alliance with Stagger Lee and Dark Kitty. Although treacherous Alehkhs was a fun opponent. I also greatly enjoyed setting a new level of unrest (~400) in my former capital as well as killing off 8000 of the population. Hopefully Alehkhs/Xanatos will appreciate it. I learned a lot about MP politics in this game, esp. how not to do it. Additionally my opponents used [future] knowledge during rollbacks to my great disadvantage, resulting in the [permanent] loss of my capital. I hope other players in this game will take away the importance of not (pretty much ever) doing rollbacks.

Cheers!

I hate to do this, but I'm going to start looking for a replacement. I took this position as a temporary and got stuck with it.

Now my life and work are getting busy again. It's manageable at the moment, mostly since I'm not at war, but where's the fun in that.
I'll keep going until I find someone, but I may need an occasional delay.

I think Veto could replace you.
He is my friend and he likes Pangaea very much.
I ask him if you don't mind.

Veto, you're back! You're the last one we're waiting for in the OneFort game. Get your pretender in!

Veto is now Pangea...I have asked him to Pm thejeff for his diplomacy obligations.

My thanks to thejeff who started out as a temp sub, and stayed with it after the other player could not continue.

You have left Veto with a strong Nation, Thank you and will see you in another game
