All I gotta say Eric, is that in your 30 years and hundred or so games
(including tournaments!), one would think you'd be able to make a better
showing than a 4 center England when France goes down early on in the
game...
I really don't know why you feel the need to insult me just because I
disagree with you, but I wish you well. I'm not a good negotiator; my press
doesn't read friendly, so maybe you just don't like me, that happens to me
in some games. Also, because I have a deep,almost instinctive
understanding of the strategy and tactics of the game, I can come off
sounding arrogant without intending to be that way, and I'm sure that
contributed to it. The fact remains that your approach to me specifically,
and EG in general is what doomed this StL Alliance, not my paranoia, or
my non-existent childish vendetta against Germany for not giving me
Belgium in '01. Think about that and try to learn from this loss.
Thanks,
Eric.
