It's ok, you've clarified yourself just fine.

Yes, that's basically what I am talking about. Note that I'm not saying anyone is a cheater; people did what they wanted to do and no one cheated. I simply no longer found the game fun or worth my time so I resigned, just as I might do in chess.
EDIT - In the Chinese Checkers variant I was thinking of, it looks like you can't "take someone out" in the way I was imagining - by capturing marbles - but you get the idea.

Adios, ATY.
Originally posted by AThousandYoungYou were responsible for that, too. The game would have ended much sooner, and the Horde would not have botted out, if we hadn't been obliged to honour the devil's bargain I signed with you in exchange for Venice: specifically, the condition you tacked on that the game would continue until you had more GP than the Horde. So you wasted four people's time (and tortured Rob, ha ha ha) to pursue your own vendetta. Sorry that you've found this game such a waste of your time lately.
But they did win, didn't they?
I don't remember you getting upset at Rob when he botted out. Did you?
Kyushu lords,
Thanks for being such tough opponents up to this point.
This was a bit of work.
I wasn't fighting bots all game..
I won't even count the Hatano because they weren't really looking anyhow... but I fought the Mori and I was facing down all of you.
Hosokawa was on the edge worse than me at one point.
You were talking about how you were out-numbered but that hadn't really weighed in yet...no Hojo, Takeda or Oda in my lands.
Hosokawa and I were holding on for grim death, just trying to stay alive. And it was fun.
We were assisted yeah...the inevitable counter... but not by the whole map.
There wasn't even an attempt to take Aki.... which was starting to look like the Alamo.
If the provinces around were real all the fields would be burned and the villages devastated.
Kyushu itself was never even invaded.
Can't force a man to play on I guess, but it would have been a hell of a turn had it been played out...

Originally posted by drakkarl was so looking forward to the destruction of Kyushu - No1 has committed Seppuku along with the other Kyushu lords. Not quite the finish it lloked like coming too. Especially after the in game messages declaring they would stand and fight?
