Congrats to Adam, from nowhere it would seem!
My game was bleak from start to finish really. I think that Dan made the whole region unstable over a period of time, to the point where my only desire was to see him wiped from the dace of the earth before I was. I got half of that, so I'm kind of satisfied. Adam really showed that patience pays off, and sticking to the game where others may have faltered. An important lesson for everyone to review once in a while.

Yes, Congrats Adam.  Well done. 

Patience is a virtue it would seem, but 1906... what a year.  And I would argue that starting near me really paid off for Adam.

I think I shared my EOG statement a while back (though many of you have probably printed it and reread it 2-3 times a week) so I'll only lobby again for my inclusion in the 2010 DCI which should be starting up in a couple weeks, no?.  Best game of the DC year.  And thanks again Mike for GMing.

Good Game All,
Dan

Congrats Adam!
2009 DCI Champion!
 
By unanimous vote after 16 1/2 years of game-time, all powers agree to a DIAS.  By virtue of having the most supply centers under his control on this day of peace, Adam is crowned the DCI Champ!
 
With this incredible victory comes guaranteed entry into next year's DCI (and swift elimination there from).
 
I know things got kinda heated in this one, but that's what Dip is all about... ppl do get involved in these games on a pretty deep level.  This game is by all means a stellar example of why you should stick it out and be patient, for Turkey sat on 3 centers for the first 10 years of the game, always boxed into the corner.  Then of course we see his incredible rise to fame over the next 6 years, while France and Norway fall in tandem.  A lot of players got evicted early on, before most of the drama occurred, tho maybe there was plenty of drama that I just wan't privy to.
