Comments: The game seemed to devolve into a standard 3 player melee with me having the Ireland 5 bonus, Red having a Scotland 5 bonus, and Pink having the West 2 bonus and unlikely to be able to take the 7 bonus which is always difficult. I spent my armies trying to prevent Red from adding the 4 bonus in N.E. while also keeping an eye that Pink didn't get the 7 bonus. Unbeknownst to me because of fog, Red was doing way better in having aggregated troops and in round 25 when I moved to break Red's N.E. bonus again saw that he had about 25 stacked on both border countries (York/Lanc) and I had no chance of breaking them. Red clearly was in the lead at this point. Pink spent round 26 regaining the 7 bonus despite the fact that red had 2 25 stacks on the border of the bonus that could easily break it. Red then missed a turn. Since Red was the clear leader which I knew Pink could see as well, I thought both of us would turn our attention to fighting Red. I broke Red's bonus in Scotland to the north since I didn't stand a chance against the 25 stacks. On Pink's turn, instead of beefing up the defense of it's 7 bonus or fighting to reduce Red's 25 stacks that could take that bonus away anytime, Pink deployed 20 troops and attacked only me. Red missed a 2nd turn. Because I didn't know if Red would miss again and return to neutral, I spent my armies breaking the N.E. bonus from the north sides so Red wouldn't get 8 additional deferred bonus armies. Pink hadn't broken my Ireland 5 bonus so I didn't think at this point that Pink was ignoring red and fighting only me and since Red was the game leader I went after him and not Pink's 7 bonus. Pink once again ignored Red in Round 28 despite the 2 25 stacks on its bonus border, and attacked only me. Red then came back, used the giant 25 stacks to break Pink's 7 bonus and take over the 2 bonus. In spite of that in Round 29 when Pink played a 10 set he ignored Red again and took 5 territories from me helping Red to eliminate me. Pink also ignored my comment in the Chat asking why he was fighting me when Red had 2 25 stacks on his border. In Round 29 Red was able to continue to use his giant stacks to take 6 of my territories and 13 of Pink's. The game is essentially over at this point as Red has 30 territories, I have 3, and Pink has 9. Red will naturally win because Pink completely ignored Red and in fact all out attacked me when it was very clear Red was the game leader by a large amount. I don't know why Pink would do this but Pink was clearly trying to aid Red even though it wouldn't give Pink a chance to win the game.
