Steve,

thanks for doing a great job at GMing this game. Despite all the Internet issues.
Glad that my suffering has come to an end.
Kind of funny that the game ends right after Italy returned to it. Is there a link?

Yes, I will definitely send in my end of game statements.
Lots of loose ends to tie up.

Everyone, thanks for a nice game. Nice, not great. Great would have been my Solo, but as you could read the Queen voted it down.

PRESS from England
Although the Queen was in favor of a Solo, her Cabinet voted it down.
So England votes in favor of either Draw proposal.


The Austria - Italy draw proposal was unsuccessful.
The Austria - Germnay draw proposal was voted down.
The Austria - Germany - Italy draw proposal was passed.

YES - against seemingly all odds, this game is now at an end.

Personally from a GMing perspective, I am glad that I did not have to replace David (Italy) in this game and it seemed nice that Eric (France) and Frank (England) survived (even if Frank did make fun of my laptop issues).

I am sure everyone will appreciate some end of game statements especialyl considering the number of draw proposals that failed. I'm also surprised that Austria did not push the game a little further so would like to know Kev's thoughts on that.

Feel free to send end of game statements to this thread as well as dc181(at)diplomaticcorp.com ([email]dc181(at)diplomaticcorp.com[/email])

It was a pleasure finishing this game off for Doug.

Steve
