Mictlan has been squished beyond repair.

Mictlan was played by the ever-so-bold Boron von Deutschland.

Hi All:

Marignon has won! Congratulations!

The remaining players are:

Marignon = Jurri
Ulm = Whollaborg
Atlantis = RonD
Pythium = Panther
C'Tis = Sedna
Ermor = Wraithlord

I have a near complete archive of all turns in zip files in case anybody wants to view any particular turns. In fact, with the master password, you could view the game from any perspective.

Let me know if you want any turns. Otherwise, I will be deleting the files at the end of the month.

Good playing all!

Pasha

RonD · #**556** February 10th, 2006, 01:01 AM

Congratulations Jurri! Well done indeed.

I was marching on the Vanheim and Jotunheim VPs, but obviously I was a couple of turns late.

RonD · #**557** February 10th, 2006, 01:03 AM

And

HUGE thanks to Pasha! You did an incredible job keeping the game moving smoothly - since what, late July? Awesome.

Sedna · #**558** February 10th, 2006, 01:10 AM

Yeah, thanks Pasha. And thanks also to Panther, this was a very interesting, though at times frustrating game. What would be truly insane would be this game without score graphs. That was pretty much the only way to gauge who was fighting whom and thus make any long term strategic decisions...

Sedna · #**559** February 10th, 2006, 01:15 AM

As for strategy at the end, though obviously I can second guess myself now... I figured the only way to have a shot at winning was if Ulm attacked Marignon strongly and they both lost enough that I was able to take a fair chunk of Marignon. I knew it was a gamble though, just didn't expect Jurri to finsih the job so quickly.

The Panther · #**560** February 10th, 2006, 03:31 AM

Good job, Jurri. I long ago figured you were Marignon, for it was clearly your style. I sure enjoyed fighting you for the past 40 turns, even though I got utterly crushed in the end. At least I killed 4-5 of your power SCs in the process.

I could not for the life of me figure out why Ulm failed to attack you, especially since the rest of us (other than C'tis who had his hands full with Cainehill) were fighting you endlessly.

The lack of diplomacy was frustrating at times, but I would have to say it was quite interesting. You never knew what was going to happen at any time! It was odd how Atlantis and I had a mutual NaP for the ENTIRE game without ever sending even one single message to each other! We just both minded our own borders, though I always was worried that he would break it suddenly at any time. Once we were both at war with you, then I knew the pact was pretty solid. Same for Ermor and Mictlan.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

And my hat is off to Pahsa Dawg who was a MOST splendid host (despite being a lawyer!). Thanks a TON, Pasha Dawg. When I (maybe) visit Acadia National Park this summer, I will buy you a beer on the way through Portland!
