I'll be honest with you all - he has had PLENTY of chances to solo and he's screwed  upevery one of them - which is why he bounces between 16 and 17 and just can't seem to
seal the deal.  IOW - if it were sex he'd be messin with the panties for hours.
Does he have a chance at a solo?  yeah, he has a chance but I think each of us has NMR'dat least once so ya never know what can happen.  Yes, he chances are also better than theyhave been - but we aren't done yet and the tables can still turn.  I don't see the solo as aforgone conclusion.  At least not just yet.
As Patrick said - vote for the DIAS and it's done and you can WB your brains out.

I do agree with Tim. I would like a share in a draw but there is no way to get that at this point. I am more than willing to play a game out but we have played out and he's won.

huh? Are you actually paying more attention to the game now than you did when you were still playing? It's over. I am more than willing to play it out, but i understnd that many of us are in the WB tournament and would like to spend  time on that game insead of going through the motions in this one.
I am really not trying to be a jerk here, it may sound that way but I am only trying to get this game over as soon as possible.

No, do not vote for the Italian. Is this how he wins all of his other games - by backstabbing everyone and then by the time they realize how he plays and turn on him, he asks them to let him win?

I believe I have this one gentlemen. I'll be in a position to take SMY in the fall. I have options on LVP, BRE, LON, BEL and there is no combination of moves out there that can take a currently held center of mine. Depending on what Russia disbands the options could grow to WAR and NWY.
Please vote for the solo and let's save a few weeks time playing it out.
thanks,Tim

Italy is still unable to clinch the solo, gaining one center while losing another.  There is still the Italian solo proposal, and a DIAS proposal to vote on. Please cast your votes with Spring orders, or sooner if you wish.  There is also a retreat. German F English Channel can retreat to Wales, London, Belgium or Picardy.
