2013-02-27 19:06:08 - Hugiboo: thanks red; though at this point a missed turn or an accidental click (I've lost games because of this before), or a spat of bad luck could easily change the game
2013-02-27 19:06:44 - Hugiboo: I honestly didn't think I would survive my struggle with green at the beginning of the game
2013-02-28 02:06:50 - karthdog1: well you did that and much much more yellow,well done sir
2013-02-28 02:07:54 - karthdog1: i gave op that battle just in time it seems
2013-03-01 04:51:38 - rjhankey: I think I skirmished with orange a bit too long, really has left me without an avenue to try and slow you down yellow
2013-03-01 17:01:53 - Hugiboo: gg teal
2013-03-01 17:05:47 - Hugiboo: you had a lot of people keeping you in check, but after green left, nobody challenged me
2013-03-01 17:06:21 - Hugiboo: teal had his own thing to deal with & I attacked him before he was finished
2013-03-01 17:07:08 - Hugiboo: it's not over yet though
2013-03-01 21:13:38 - karthdog1: well red your the only one between yellow and victory. i am good with a plan to help, get us back on even playing field, if i can help that happen
2013-03-01 21:14:31 - karthdog1: you have me blocked off though so i dont know if you are interested anyway
2013-03-03 04:23:00 - rjhankey: best I can offer is a path down the western edge of the map green ... it's open at the moment, although silver might not appreciate you coming through there :-)
2013-03-04 11:26:44 - rjhankey: gg orange
2013-03-05 03:45:32 - rjhankey: so much for our truce and working together green
2013-03-05 04:02:25 - karthdog1: RED--i did not mean to break any agreement at all, but you must see that trying to get to yellow and you building on my borders like you have been would just be stupid on my part.and how do i get to silver with out taking some of you anyway?
2013-03-05 06:06:49 - Hugiboo: at the point it was at I would have had to make some big mistakes or missed a couple turns for you guys to take control
2013-03-05 06:07:31 - Hugiboo: now that you let me hold Armuntius & I broke Antonius, it's all over
2013-03-05 17:47:12 - rjhankey: green had already broken Antonius for you
2013-03-05 17:47:56 - rjhankey: green, I had left you a path around me, so I could maintain my bonus and actually help against yellow
2013-03-05 17:50:03 - rjhankey: yellow -- you've had this game overall for a while now -- I've gotta believe some of the strategy remaining is to try and secure as many points in the tournament standings as possible, based on finish position in this one
2013-03-05 17:50:45 - rjhankey: green -- I haven't been stacking on my borders for offense -- merely trying to hold my bonus as long as possible
2013-03-05 17:51:36 - rjhankey: gg all -- this one was well fought
2013-03-05 18:10:43 - karthdog1: red-- i am really sorry, it makes sence what you were doing. i messed up my apoligise.
2013-03-05 18:12:22 - karthdog1: I guess i have had that happen to me too many time before, but looking at it from the point you just mentioned that yellow has this one wrapped up, you are right it made no sence to do that at that point. again sorry my friend, my mistake
2013-03-05 19:46:09 - Hugiboo: oh I see, it all makes sense to me now
2013-03-05 19:47:58 - Hugiboo: apparently, I'm not allowed to deploy on M. Antonius :(
2013-03-05 19:49:37 - Hugiboo: oh, haha. It looked yellow to me.
2013-03-05 21:19:34 - rjhankey: no problem green -- I was just a little irked when I thought we were working together, and then suddenly turned on me
2013-03-05 21:20:39 - rjhankey: after all these are just games, right? :-D
2013-03-05 21:22:27 - rjhankey: yellow -- that's an impressive troop count and deploy though!
2013-03-05 23:36:13 - karthdog1: well red you got me back--lol not that any of it matters at this point, yellow is just too good at this it seems. but i thought i would have a bit more bonus to attack yellow .
2013-03-05 23:36:35 - karthdog1: oh well we are in the top 3 that has got to help something i hope
2013-03-05 23:40:30 - Hugiboo: I realized holding out for orange's cards was going to hurt me, that was one extra player generating cards & sooner or later he was going to throw in his lot against me
2013-03-05 23:42:42 - Hugiboo: that combined with red & green working together would have made a higher troop/turn ratio than me. If you had used him for his sets, plus grey could have done this as well, there was a risk that you all would overwhelm me
2013-03-05 23:43:11 - Hugiboo: I was a little worried when we started talking about how I was going to win; usually that's when things go sour
2013-03-05 23:44:47 - Hugiboo: early on I thought red was going to get too strong before I could get a solid base; it took so long fighting green
2013-03-05 23:45:34 - Hugiboo: but red had lots of opposition throughout for starting out in the lead
2013-03-05 23:46:22 - Hugiboo: I seem to lose about half the time if I start out really strong; the other half nobody seems to care & the game is over very quick
2013-03-06 00:05:19 - rjhankey: indeed yellow -- I kept holding you away from orange -- I think that might have done me in too, paying too much attention there to who got orange's cards
2013-03-06 00:10:45 - rjhankey: looks like top 3 gets us at least 7 points each ...
2013-03-06 00:47:13 - karthdog1: you just played this too well yellow, and i spent too much time hoping for the chance to get gray/silver and scared of red.
2013-03-06 00:47:46 - karthdog1: but you 2 clearly deserve to be the final 2 i thought--i hung in much longer thyen i expected
2013-03-06 04:29:49 - Hugiboo: good point, it looks like red can take care of getting in position for that; assuming I don't protect green
2013-03-06 10:24:26 - rjhankey: you're right -- ultimately it's in your hands yellow :-D
2013-03-06 19:19:39 - karthdog1: GG guys it was enjoyable playing with 2 that are really good and know its still just a game. well done guys
2013-03-07 03:40:41 - rjhankey: gg! it's been a long road ...
2013-03-07 20:10:01 - rjhankey: gg green -- I guess that takes the mystery out of who finishes 2nd and 3rd ;-)
2013-03-07 20:10:26 - rjhankey: I spent the last few turns running NE to avoid the spreading yellow plague ...
2013-03-07 21:54:36 - Hugiboo: thanks guys, goo
2013-03-07 21:54:39 - Hugiboo: good game
