21 Oct 17 UTC	Spring, 1907: GameMaster: Germany 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.
12 Nov 17 UTC	Spring, 1911: GameMaster: India voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes Concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Conceede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat.
06 Dec 17 UTC	Congrats, Britain.
06 Dec 17 UTC	good game
06 Dec 17 UTC	Russia and France, what were you doing? Attacking me as Britain strolled to victory... I could only assume you didn't realise this variant has a very low victory condition. Anyway, once I realised what Russia was doing, I decided to make sure they lost just as I was going to - at least that worked. Thanks to Italy at least for holding off attacking me.
06 Dec 17 UTC	Well done jianshen, you played it well.
06 Dec 17 UTC	28？ for solo？ can't believe it. There are 81 SCs in all
06 Dec 17 UTC	Well done Britain, you show excellent performance when against Japan in the East Asia. Sorry to Austria. I know the victory condition is 28 SCs. But In my opinion, a 7-draw in a 10-countries map is as same as lost. At that time, I can't take more from India, and you can't defeat Italy, the game is in a deadlock. So I bet if Austria don't give up home SCs, and maybe I can get Balkan before Britain, even Britain attack my Sweden, he still has not enought SCs to win, and France, Russia, Japan can stop solo and get a 4-draw. When I saw your retreat and disband, I know Britain would be the winner. Although I can steal Den or Kiel, but it is just a delay. So I can only cheer for Britain.
06 Dec 17 UTC	When I was attacked my Russia and Britain at the same time, I had to make a choice. At the time Britain was the bigger threat, and I found it silly that Russia would overextend and target me, so I decided to let Britain take all my SCs and stall Russia for as long as possible.
06 Dec 17 UTC	I agree with Austria. But I don't agree with you, India. When I attack you, Britain is your ally. After Britain attack you in 1910 Autumn, I just defend and save what I get before. But you continue to try to recapture what you lost, and let Britain do anything. The next time I attack you is 1913 Spring, when Britain has owned all of India.
06 Dec 17 UTC	I can understand what you do, maybe I will do the same thing at that time. But I don't think it's my fault.
06 Dec 17 UTC	After you attacked me I knew I would not win this game, thus my main objective was to allow Britain to win as soon as possible to secure a survive.
07 Dec 17 UTC	Sure, if nobody attack you from the beginning to the end, you can easily win the game. May I say that after Austria and Japan attack me in 1902, I know I can't win, so I let Britain win? Acturally, when I attacked you in 1906, Japan is the most dangerous country, he has 12 SCs and a good location without enemy behind him. Britain has 13 but he is separated. At that time, I have 8 and you have 9, how could I make you lose the game? What's more, you never attack Britain, conversely, you and him make an alliance in 1906, I believe that you will try to get more SCs from such as Italy if I haven't attack you, nor Britain, who is the bigger threat in your words.
07 Dec 17 UTC	I was fighting Britain the whole first part of the game. Then we stalemate after he kicks me out of SEA, and I take the Seychelles. After fighting you from 06-09, I realized that with Japan not interfering west, with your alliance with Britain, my only hope was to sack the game to Britain. I was never in any position to contest Japan, and attacking Italy would be beyond silly while fighting you. Maybe I could've pressured him more had you not attacked, but more than likely I would've secured the ocean and pushed east.
