Sorry about that! I kept seeing an opening, so kept pushing. I was actually gunning for the 17-17 two-way with Turkey, but then I noticed the possibility of stealing Marseilles.

Good game all. England was throwing me fits there until he finally just gave up. Too bad that had to happen.

Yeah I dropped the ball with Marseilles at the end there.

It felt like giving birth. Anyway, my plans were primarily that I did not want to go juggernaut if I didn't have to. In the early part of the game, I tried applying pressure to Turkey, but when Germany built two armies in 1903, I thought he was making a move on me. Oops. Right after that, Italy made his move to Galicia, which I did not understand at all. OK, yeah, it ended my growth potential for the game unless England and Germany got into a row, but Italy was already heavily committed to attacking Turkey. Anyway, Turkey was completely amenable to a juggernaut under the circumstances of an Italian attack, and Italy's attack on me meant that his long term future was not bright. From then on, I was pretty much just an ally of the strongest power to vote for a draw. Turkey's decision to stop voting for a draw with his simultaneous takeover of Naples and Serbia made me decide that whatever happened, he would not win.

Whaskell has no sense. If he doesn't CD he does stoopid shit.

Thanks cspieker and FD. After looking through the game, I follow almost everyone except Whaskell. He seems a little all over the place.

Bob - I withdrew my draw vote only very briefly, in the hope of signalling to Germany "let's draw once Italy is eliminated". Unfortunately England's collapse at the very end decided things really.
