15 Sep 16 UTC	Spring, 1648: game on!!
15 Sep 16 UTC	Spring, 1648: Dammit! What I wouldn't give for some contiguity.
19 Sep 16 UTC	Autumn, 1648: You appear to be reaching a reasonable level of contiguity fairly well :p
24 Sep 16 UTC	Autumn, 1649: Hello Wettin, how about working together against Hohenzollern ?
24 Sep 16 UTC	Autumn, 1649: and in global no less!
30 Sep 16 UTC	Autumn, 1650: Is no-one talking, or is it just that no-one is talking to me?
01 Oct 16 UTC	Autumn, 1650: basically the latter
01 Oct 16 UTC	Autumn, 1650: Shh Spain! We all agreed not to say anything.
04 Oct 16 UTC	Autumn, 1651: I see you got someone to talk to you, Palatinate.
04 Oct 16 UTC	Autumn, 1651: I did! It was all very productive.
08 Oct 16 UTC	Spring, 1652: GameMaster: Spanish Habsburg voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
10 Oct 16 UTC	Spring, 1652: How about we reconsider the draw after Spanish Hapsburg is gone?
10 Oct 16 UTC	Spring, 1652: WHAAAT? I am major player still !! ;)
10 Oct 16 UTC	Spring, 1652: same tbh
27 Oct 16 UTC	Spring, 1655: ok, you got me now, the Spanish soldiers holed up in Cologne are cooked ...
31 Oct 16 UTC	3-way draw, or solo?
31 Oct 16 UTC	GG all, Palatinate was too close to a solo for me to completely trust him enough to go for a two way draw. But I did enjoy a game-long alliance with you mouse, which was pretty useless in the first few years, but critical later on.
31 Oct 16 UTC	Plus I'm a bit worn out from all the games I'm juggling right now
31 Oct 16 UTC	Yeah, I was pretty solidly going to attempt to solo if we didn't draw this phase. 2-way would just be too fiddly and time consuming. I wouldn't call the first few years of alliance useless, though. Sure, there wasn't much active assistance, but a guaranteed safe flank is worth quite a bit, and often all you need out of an alliance at points. Well played Hohenzollern, too - very deft expansion early, and help up decently on the defensive near the end.
31 Oct 16 UTC	I guess then in the beginning our alliance was in practice an NAP agreement actually, and only actually became a real alliance after Hohenzollern simply exploded in the middle of Germany, and thus suffered from "early leader syndrome", since he was blocking everyone's expansion path.
