To respond or not to respond... to dignify a "theory" attack, or let
it slide.....

I'll take the middle road -- a partial response. Pirates know my
exact plans, Suzanne has some ideas. Warren *used to* know, but those
changed.

If you ask them what they know, you'll have to decide whether or not
to trust how they respond.

Sure, but you're laying out different end-game plans to everyone. To me you
offer a 2-way if I'll stab the Faeries or Trolls, and I guess a similar bait
to everyone else - share a draw w the Trolls if they'd help you fight me?
Promise Suzanne a draw if she helps you against the Faeries? Promise Penner
a draw if he'll help you w the Trolls? Then tell me you want to take out
both the Trolls and the Pirates playing them off against each other plus the
Faeries and Undead too? Does Penner know (for example) the same order of
elimination that you're telling me? And is he ok w that?

If you really don't want a solo, then lay out who you think the 3- or 4-
should be, where you aren't telling everyone completely opposite things to
keep everyone fighting.

Many Thanks to Mike, for boosting my ego to the realm of bursting! An
Ogre Solo? Wow! I've heard rumors of this from several players, but
never really saw it coming to fruition, especially since the earliest
mentions were when I only had 13 centers!

If my next statement causes everyone to gang up on me, I'm ready ---
but I will vote NO to a 6-way draw! The board is large enough that I
can sit back and let you guys fight it out, but unless we get down to
a 3-way or 4-way draw, that is how my vote will be cast.

Some of you already know that I will support you to the end. The
rest, I simply have no ability or desire to do so. I've laid out
end-game plans to most of you, and you've all expressed interest in
seeing those plans come through. So I leave it to you all now to make
it happen.

It's been a great game! Let's see it through to its logical end, not
an easy out because someone is tired of playing (just kidding
Mike!!!).

[quote:6f4cb9b30b]Hey everyone,

We've been battling for a year and a half now. With the falling of the
Knights, I dont see any power left that I can attack by which doing so
would
not lead to an Ogre win. Thus I'm content to call it a 6-way draw here.
What does everyone think? If no, would any combination of draws
disincluding any players be acceptable?

Or Mike is a solo the only option? What draw would be acceptable to you?
