Nice job Adam, truly!  To beat not just 10 of the best last year, but then 8 more this year.  That is quite a feat.


 


To IZ, I'm interested to hear why you gave up after all this time.  Hungary was pretty exposed to you last I saw.  I'll have to see the final map when it's posted online to get a better picture... maybe things had swung in the last couple years.


 


Congrats Adam - Who's in favor of renaming the DCI to just Adam's Invitational Come and Get Whooped Fest?  That's just... wow...


 


The DipWiki is updated, which shows the history of our 5 DCI's to date.  www.dipwiki.com?title=DC_Invitational.  Of which, of course Adam has won 2, and I sort of think that's only cuz he didn't play in the first 3 or it would have been a clean sweep.

Well, it is final. Adam has managed to win back to back DCI's. Has that actually ever been done Mike?





Wow. Congrats. We have our ending and I am sure there will be some exciting EGP's to come. I will, at a later moment, give some comments. 






For official purposes, the game ended in a 3-way draw - HIZ with Spain and Eire surviving. HIZ is also the official 123 order of finish.






More to come later. Apologies for the slight delay - I had to clarify one thing that I missed previously (in a vote - the affected party can clarify in their EGS if desired) AND I was traveling (driving) and could not get the turn done on time. I actually forgot about that when I set the deadline. Sorry.






Again - congrats to Adam (and to Joe and Kevin). Thanks for your patience throughout the game.






Witty comments to come.
