Adjudication

Britons:
Build F Loire

Irish:
Remove F Louth

Welsh:
Build F Damnonia
Build F Devon

Now this Winter we see the elimination of two of our players.

The Picts were played by Brian Lam (briankingfox). Brian was invited as one of the top 6 eligible players in DCI at the time of the 2008 calculations. Brian was ranked 21st at the time of calculation. Brian was one of the original 6 who were invited to play in the game. Brian will not progress to the second round of the DCI unless a player is unable to continue. Brian finishes on 1.5 points. Thanks for playing Brian.

The Irish were played by DCI heavy weight, Mike Sims. As many of you had guessed that Mike was a player in the DCI, Mike is ranked as the top player in DC. Mike was invited to play as he was the reigning champion - the winner of the 2008 DCI. Mike will be progressing to the second round of the DCI and has scored 1.5 points. Thanks for playing in this game, Mike.

Standings

Mike Sims - 7th Position - 1.5 Points
Brian Lam - 7th Position - 1.5 Points
Garry Bledsoe - 9th Position - 1 point.
Derek Eyler -10th position - 1 point.

PRESS


Britons speak,
To Welsh,

I might have made a misstake in taking Con with the army. I will support you into Lou though, and bring more units over to crack Gal. Will take another year or so.


To Norse,

I have yet to vote down a draw.


To Danes/Angles,

I will remain neutral unless my possessions are threatened.

Danes to Norse:
thanks for support in Fir, pity I messed it up. I will try to return there, and certainly to stop any expansion of Angles to the continent.

Hopefully we will agree on a draw soon.

Angles, congratulations on taking FIR despite the joint Scandinavian resistance. As before, let's bounce in WIL and keep supporting AYR-ARG. I'm happy to leave the Norse in PER, but if they're a problem for you, feel free to take care of them first. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. And it may turn out that it's easier for me to get yo into ARG than it is for me to take it. If that proves to be the case, it's yours.

Britons, if the Angles agree to the bounce in WIL, I feel comfortable wiht you in WIG. F DEV will dock at COR, F DAM at BRI - my hope is they never move again, without your request. Taking GAL and DON sound good, with the aim of helping me take ARM in the fall, if I haven't taken it already. I look forward to trading supports for as long as the game continues.

Danes and Norse: do you really think the Britons need to stop sitting back and pick a side, while they move into first place?

Britons and Welsh allied is not good for any of us folk. This has the making of a two way unless we act now.
