First things first, both of the endgame proposals fail...

Both Austria and France re-establish control of their respective capitals, slightly altering history as the Archduke survives the year. Turkey's attacks on Marseilles, Tunis, and Warsaw all fail. England gains control of both Portugal and Warsaw, offset by the loss of Paris, giving King Garry control of 18 centers. Congratulations to Garry on his solo, which in all likelihood also means that Garry will win the Winter Blitz tournament.

Once again, we have received press, although this time the sender has revealed his power's identity:
England-"All: Thanks for the game. It was definitely challenging and entertaining. I had NO business being lucky enough to win this tournament [had to be luck given the tough players I had in each round]. I look forward to many more games with you on the site."


Thanks to everyone for playing, and sticking around to the finish. This has been a very interesting game to witness. Endgame statements are not only welcome, but encouraged, given the result.
