10 Sep 17 UTC	Spring, 1: GameMaster: Please remember that negotiations before the game begins are not allowed.
16 Sep 17 UTC	Spring, 1: Info: This is a choose your country game.
09 Oct 17 UTC	Autumn, 5: GameMaster: Carthage voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
09 Oct 17 UTC	Autumn, 5: Vote has started.
10 Oct 17 UTC	Autumn, 5: I'm open to that after we eliminate Egypt.
10 Oct 17 UTC	Autumn, 5: Okay
18 Oct 17 UTC	Spring, 6: Can we just draw now?
18 Oct 17 UTC	Spring, 6: Considering the fact that Persia has left
18 Oct 17 UTC	Spring, 6: GameMaster: Mikey99 has taken over Persia replacing "neeraj0588". Reconsider your alliances.
18 Oct 17 UTC	Spring, 6: Greetings from the new Persian leader. Apologies for my late uncle, he tragically died recently while drunk and falling into his soup - 3 times. I assure that under my leadership, Persia shall be more vigilant on our borders.
22 Oct 17 UTC	Ok, so message in from Rome saying he perhaps would not be able to push for a win and has issued the draw. If I'd started in this game, I'd want to press a little longer but as I've just joined and you're both starting players, I'll respect and have drawn also. Thank you.
22 Oct 17 UTC	I'd love a little post-mortem. Would either of you think you could solo from my spot? Sardinia falls and I keep Carthage pinned, and play chase on his Vind units from Ven. So that's +1 and probably fairly stable. I may or may not be able to round that army on to Africa to actually help there. I think I lose ground in the short run to Persia, but can solid that line up. It just isn't clear that I can progress. It is reasonable to assume that with both of you working against me as I'm near solo, a draw feels like a good outcome. What would you have done in my spot? Also, h/t to Carthage for a game very well-played throughout. He was a superb ally and as the outcome shows, managed to pursue common goals ardently without losing sufficient defense that he was vulnerable to a decisive stab. Well done! Persia, we knew each other only briefly, though I think that I've seen your name before. I hope we get a substantial game with each other. In fact... if the two of you would like to start a new Ancient Med, I'm up for it. (Or another map, if you prefer.)
22 Oct 17 UTC	To be honest, I'd have liked this game to run a turn or two longer, but I didn't want to hold you both to that as I just started. Yes, we were working together to stop you, that was obvious when you needed only two to win. I would have retaken Sinope, then likely Byz and then I think I would have put a credible threat into Sparta/Athens/Mace - especially with the Carthage army now behind your lines. My take-over position wasn't great, perhaps an army light and fleet too many. If the game had run for longer, having seen Rome drop 3-4+ maybe I'd have fancied a long term run at the win myself, but likely it'd always be a 2v1 scenario. Yes, we've met before Yoak. I remember it well, I'm surprised you do not.
22 Oct 17 UTC	Oh, wow. You were Germany in that horrible, horrible game. I'm glad to play with you again and to have it go smoothly.
22 Oct 17 UTC	Yeah it was horrible. Things went on with that guy that I despised and I hope never to meet him again.
22 Oct 17 UTC	But indeed, glad that you can see it wasn't characteristic.
22 Oct 17 UTC	Games go funny for all sorts of reasons. Barring personal abuse (directed wherever), I don't leap to conclusions quickly. Anyway... thanks for jumping in on this one, and I hope we get to participate in one with real clash again soon. If you'd like to invite me to one, newly started or otherwise, I'm happy to join.
22 Oct 17 UTC	Cheers, you too. I did start one recently, called the Many Faced God - Known World, always a favourite :-)
22 Oct 17 UTC	I joined. Thanks. It'll be my first time on that map. :-)
22 Oct 17 UTC	Thanks for the good play
