Actually Sean, the quote I'm referring to is:

"I was always taught that you stab when your victim is
losing SCs. I will be down a max of one am now publicly stating that I will be
pulling all of my fleets off the Western front and won't be stopping until
Constantinople is mine. Dan, John, you got your wish guys - I'm onboard with
taking Austria down."

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if you took Constantinople, I would have been in trouble.

Guys,
 
I know Phil wishes it was me that had said I'd wipe him
off the board, but my exact words were that: "You have now sealed the end of
your game. You will be able to wound me - take a SC here and there, but I will
be giving France full rein to push into your middle whilst you struggle to deal
with the fleets that will pour back East. Never stab in the spring... position,
position, position." Prophetic huh? Your
game ended on that turn when you dove one turn too early for the solo and ended
up with a four way draw. If Phil had stuck to the agreement we
shared, he probably could have soloed by grabbing Dan and John SCs faster
than I could keep up, as it was, a four way draw is probably the best he
could have hoped for - if Dan hadn't shown himself to be such an awesome player
I might have trusted him enough to have pushed to take Turkey off the board
and out of the draw.
 
Phil, no worries about the voting down of the draw, you
had to hope that one of us got as greedy as you did! *grin*

Well, I certainly won't apologize for holding up the ending of
this game by a couple of extra turns.  With all of Sean's trash talking
about how he was going to wipe me off the face of the board, I had to give him
the opportunity to try.  Fortunately for everyone, except me obviously, you
three held together.  So, you guys have fun bashing me for turning the
screws on your impromptu alliance.  I just had to see what would
happen.

Hey All,


After nine years, a compromise to end the
war in Europe has finally been reached. The governments of France, Austria,
Italy and Russia have agreed to a four way draw. However, the proposal to
reveal past votes fails. I have it on good authority that the reason for past
draw failures will be revealed now that hostilities have
ended.


Thanks to everyone for playing! It was fun
to watch you all duke it out - especially after having just played with many
of you!


I usually publish EOGs a week after a game
I'm running ends. If you want to do it that way, send your thoughts to me, and
I'll send everybody's out next Wednesday. Alternatively, you can all start
broadcasting now!


I'll send some of my thoughts out later
on. The pregnant wife wants to watch TV!


Best,


Mike
