Now that I've read Hobbits and Elves EOGs I remember the HELP alliance.
I'd totally forgotten about the Pirates. Man this was a long game.

Hobbits EOG (super high level that remember)

At the start of the games I quickly developed the habit of making allies
and then stabbing them really ruthlessly. It worked surprisingly well
and
I could believe my own luck and how fast I was growing. I know at one
point I had a great opportunity to stab the elves but decided that I had
been stabbing too many players and that I would stop stabbing people and
looking form a consolidated alliance.

In the south we formed the HELP alliance and in particular HELP was in a
great position to wrap the remaining players in the south and push hard
north before while the north was still a jumbled mess that hadn't
consolidated much. I looked to try and push things as quick as I could
and
definitely left myself quite exposed. Temptation proved to be too much
for
Garry and he stabbed me hard. Tried to convince the Leps to join me and
fight The elves but they stayed with the elves. I think we could have
succeeded and he would have been in a position to reap the lions share
of
the gains, but can't really begrudging him for siding with the elves.
He
was in a good position either way. Once that failed I resigned to make
myself as difficult to kill as possible. Sorry to the pirates for
stabbing
them. You were a good ally and I just stabbed you out of desperation.
Glad to hear I did a good job of making things difficult. In the end I
could only hold on do long and had to balance getting support from the
north while they wanted my centers more than they really wanted me
alive.

Was interesting to watch the knights stab. Really grew like crazy there
for a while.

Look forward to next time. Mike, hoping there can be a spot for me.
Thank you much for running the game Mike. I know it has to be a LOT of
work!

Also thanks to all the players for a great game!
