“Does any of it matter now?”
Yes
“Really?”
Yes, really
“but does any of it matter... really??”
YES – REALLY
Any further questions?
Hmm. Here’s one. If Nova Scotia was reclaimed in the woods – and nobody was around to hear it, would it matter then?

I'm just happy for the free move to MAO. Leaves me with so many interesting options. And its generally pleasant to have a retreat become an advance.

For the record, New York did not sacrifice Nova Scotia in order to gain naval position.
Correctly stated, New York sacrificed his entire game to fight over Nova Scotia, which was pointed out would eventually fall back anyways.

You crack open the Spring 2008 Fortune Cookie and find this bizarre promise within:
A starship ride has been promised to you by a galactic wizard. Hmm... That's one to think about. =)
But, as is always the case, someone is being taken for a ride - the only question is who? Florida throws up a fiery defense as the east and west trade centers in the Southlands. Meanwhile, New York sacrifices Nova Scotia in order to gain naval position. This one is definitely still a knife-fight.. =)
Four retreats are required - one each from California, Western Canada, New York and Florida. Deadline for the Summer 2008 retreats will be set for Thursday, Apr 24th (11:59 PM GMT).
If you spot a goof then shout out out! Cheers!
