Default Re: Diplomacy

lol - how is what QM and IH done not a "meta-strategy"? Mine is purely in response to theirs - Quantum has been pretty clear for a while, heck, even before the real war started, that IH would be almost impossible to stop - Quant, by making himself subservient to a player he freely acknowledged was close to unstoppable, and IH for encouraging and welcoming this "strategy", were responsible for the death of this game. Clearly, such actions are bull****. I'm perfectly capable of fighting against a larger coalition, as I've been doing, but when there is a secret compact that, whatever the "intentions" basically throws the game to the acknowledged (by the other major power and experienced player) leader, then I've got to ask what the point is in playing such a futile exercise?

My strategy is the only one that seems to me valid for the current circumstances. I did not ask for the game to be halted - IH did that on his own initiative w/out any discussion w/ his fellow players. I'm happy to continue playing, but my strategy is my own. why I should play in such a rigged game, and then also be forced not to follow my own strategy in the matter; well, that's absurd.

clearly the only way to upset a game throwing is to try and make the one throwing the game reconsider his options -in this case, by allowing him to grab enough of my territory that he would then be capable of defeating IH straight out.
