pastoralan, bockman, Draugnar, zscheck, hellalt, thewonderllama, Perry6006

17 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1909: I'm still keeping the draw vote up there. Whether I get 15, 16, or 24 points is irrelavent to me. I want to win the league and anyone of those gets me that win. But I don't want to do it by killing off both Russia and Turkey. They have been valuable and earned a survive or part of the draw. Please just draw now, zscheck.
17 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1909: Wonderllama, please check your ingame messgaes from me and get back to me so I know whether to restore my draw vote or go for the pure win.
18 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1909: Out of respect for wonderllama, the draw offer has been restored.
20 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1910: this will end in a 17-17 draw or a draugnar solo but i think a zscheck solo is almost impossible. i m curious to see what happens this turn. there is room for some cool innovative moves especially by italy.
20 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1910: haha You just dont want to see me win :)
21 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1910: if you manage to win this then you will totally deserve it ;)
21 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1910: I'm sorry, but I am too close to allow the draw to continue. Had I been kept at 15 or 16, maybe, but 17...
21 Jun 11 UTC	Autumn, 1910: it seems you are indeed.
22 Jun 11 UTC	Spring, 1911: Wow, go Italy..! Would be cool to see this League end up with 3 out of 4 games being Solos!!
24 Jun 11 UTC	Spring, 1911: At this level you would think the players would see that have no retreat and issue their disband. But not Wonderllama. The fact he is finished this turn would make negotiations meaningless.
24 Jun 11 UTC	Spring, 1911: That's crap. He doesn't have to finalize his orders early. Maybe he's talking to someone else. What do you care? It's not like he asked for a pause to drag out the game. He has not violated any of the league rules by thinking about the game. Don't think I'd ever come across a sore WINNER before! :-)
24 Jun 11 UTC	Spring, 1911: I don't care so much as I'm just wanting to get the game done. If we had auto orders when there was no option, this would have moved already. And he can't stop the fall grab of his last SC either. So why drag it out when, if I don't win, I'll probably just draw with zscheck next spring. Maybe. :-)
24 Jun 11 UTC	Spring, 1911: I give 0,1% chances for a draw.
27 Jun 11 UTC	I think the moves I just placed guarantee me 19 SCs. I'll either get Par and Sev or Bre and Sev, depending on Germany's moves.
27 Jun 11 UTC	Indeed a cool outcome: 3 solos out of 4 games! Congratulations Draugnar!
27 Jun 11 UTC	bre or par are guaranteed and that's enough. But why did zscheck NMR at this point?
27 Jun 11 UTC	Wasnt the game a moot point already for him? Perhaps b/c of that? Still strange..
27 Jun 11 UTC	No, I really wanted to see a 17v17 battle But yesterday I got to spent most of my day spewing. Never got to a computer :/
27 Jun 11 UTC	And actually, this game meant everything to him. If he loses, he gets demoted to C league. If he draws, he stays in B-league. And if he wins, he gets promoted to A league. The temptation to be nice and just draw is high. After all, I'm getting this win this last year so easy because of an NMR. But I'm not drawing because I think I still would have taken Sev. He would have had to dislodge Gal to prevent it (Gal taps Ukr, Rum to Sev with Bla and Arm support, and Bud with Bul support to Rum). If I were relying on Bre/Par for the win, I'd draw. But I'm not.
28 Jun 11 UTC	congrats draugi
