Yeah I know what you mean… My wording was poorly phrased, I didn’t mean to imply you intended to outright throw it. Sorry there. I perceived it as a technique you were using to get us to stab each other… by the threat of the solo, or more likely, by the leaking of information that one or the other intended to take you up on it… and once we did, I figured you’d jump right back into the game. Thus neither of us took you up on it, which meant you had to keep offering it further and further, until eventually it ended up how it did. At no point did I think you intended the result to actually be the solo.

Ouch. Feel I have to respond to that.

It was a last desperate ploy to get Jon to attack you, Mike. I could not defend against both of you. So I did what I could to convince Jon that unless he opened a southern front with you, that you would solo the game. I guess I failed to convince him...

If at any time Jon had taken the battle to you, you would have found me back in the line, trying to claw back those centers...
