Nice job, you RATs. Nice job. Even nicer job to the Turks, who did *exactly* what you should have been expecting. I don't mind being eliminated and seeing this at all.  N

I am copying the DC Mods on this one...


The time has come to break out the John Philpot Curran quote (1790).  Indeed, it is proper and entirely just:

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey
to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once
the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
I can say it no better.  Never, until today, have I witnessed victory so slyly pilfered from the unaware.  John Reside, I tip my hat to you.

Turkey steals *eight* centers and claims to solo.  In the process, *three* players are eliminated.  Oh, and France NMRs.

Turkey: 18
Russia: 10
Austria: 6

End of game comments are welcome.

Special thanks to Maslow and Nathan for continuing to fight in lost positions.  Thanks and condolences to Stuart and
Nick for success and dashed expectations.  Good luck in the final standings, John!
