It's unfortunate to have to end this way but unless one of the possible solutions llamabeast mentions to remove Haunted Forest succeeds there doesn't seem to be any choice. Of course even if those solutions succeed they won't necessarily be fair. But before we call the game I'd like to hear from Nightfall and mockingbird as well.

I have no problem with ending the game myself; at this point I was just fighting as hard as I could on principle, but I had already lost the war.

Congratulations to Nightfall on an excellent war and well deserved victory; I made many, many mistakes (one of which was not rushing Abysia right off the bat

) and Nightfall played very well.

Have had a ball with this game, so first of all thanks to everyone...

It is a bit of pity as it was looking like an interesting battle for the end, however the game seems to be tipping towards the point where micro is becoming more of a chore, espescially I think for Sephorin.

As Groundworm and mockingbird have already confirmed they are both more or less just being cleaned up at this point.

Considering all that along with the server problems, I am happy to call the game now as a three way tie, which I think is a better conclusion than just abandoning it.

By the way mockingbird,

I had spammed about 10 horror seeds on your capital 10-15 turns ago, was wondering whether you had noticed any effects?

No, not a thing. Are they dependent on MR? Because that might explain it.

You came very, very close to beating me twice, and more than held your own defensively. The turning point for me I think was scouting and then securing the blood rock, as that site was huge for me.

More than anything else in this game you have managed to instill in me an absolute hatred of mind hunts...

So much so that I do not think I will ever be able to bring myself to play a nation without astral access.
