Congrats Michael, and thanks Joey for doing such a good job on the GM.  The only EOG I have is that this game really bit me in the ass because whatever my plans were, Joe monkey wrenched them in the most frustrating way - and yet I must admit he beat me and I was plainly outdone - even if it was very unconventional.  I guess I learned from this game that every strategy has the potential to ruin you if you don't treat it serious enough.
 
As for the press, whoever wrote it, it was entertaining enough to keep my attention, so good job there.
 
Hope to see you all in the future....

Congratulations Michael! The vote for a Turkish solo victory has passed and we have a winner. Congrats to everyone for a good game and hanging in there! It was a pleasure GMing this game. I know there were a few moments where the game slowed down or halted, but you all managed it well and I thank you for that. 


I am still getting caught up with putting the results on the diplomaticcorp website sorry about that. They should be up tomorrow.


Please feel free to share your thoughts/feelings/reactions/complaints/whatever about the game, I would love to hear them. 


Thanks again, and congratulations again to Michael on a victory well deserved!

How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
