I was in strong agreement? Of course I was - to you. Once I'd decided to work with Mike and Andy to thwart you, I needed to stay on your good side to get all the information I could.

Ominous BC advances, whoooo scary! The guy with a behemoth just to the south of his home centers is of course the threat to everyone. Not Mexico, who is almost secure in his position. Not Florida, who has more centers than anyone, and a nice corner.

But I do enjoy the propagandizing efforts to portray BC and Cali as the evil alliance. If you keep it up, it might save your skin, if we'll all turn on one another rather than march through the US Northeast.

Andy,

You misfired on the foolproof plan long before those comments were made. But judging from you track record and your own confession, you are in fact (at least in this game) easily manipulated and you have been very sporadic in your gameplay. If it's all the same, BC was in strong agreement over my statements.

I did try to reconcile. I did support you in MIS for several turns. And though you never followed through, I ordered around MON/QUE as I told you and you chose not follow through.

And lastly it was your choice to overlook the advances of BC (which were much more ominous than our earlier tussle) and hop in bed with him.

Choices. Perspective. Hindsight.

Guys,

Whilst I admit that I was slightly sporadic in my gameplay in my defence I have never played online diplomacy before, never played a variant of this size before and most of all have never been within 2000 odd miles of the American continent. I may take a few days to reply to emails and did miss a deadline as I have exams to work for in May and coursework due in almost every week.

Rob, your email about my being "easily manipulated" and being a "weak player" annoyed me enough to stop your "Foolproof" plan. NB It didnt need to be foolproof, just Ski-proof.

I have enjoyed this game but resent the accusations of my former "ally" NY.

Cheers
Andy
