EmeraldCity English End Of Game Statement
Kirk Petersen Played England
1. Talked to France and Germany about EFG. Got a bit paranoid as Germany built two fleets in 01.
2. Started to go after Russia. Got more paranoid when France left a fleet in MAO. Floundered around in the north for a bit. Finally moved the army that was to protect against the MAO - IRI - LVP stab right when France decided to go for it.
3. Germany decided to stab France instead of me.
4. In 04 I noticed that Germany had everything just about sealed up from MAO to LVN. The only thing I had a chance at was MOS. It looked like he'd grow to 12 or 13 in 05 and no longer need my help.
5. Stabbed Germany. He threatened to throw the game to Turkey. I figured it was a bluff because, depite the picture that Germany was painting, he still had more centers than anyone else.
6. Chased a German fleet around the north for a while.
7. Started talking to Turkey about going for a two-way when it seemed that a three-way draw wasn't going to be accepted.
8. Had to do real-life stuff for a while after I had a fire at my place.
9. Returned after a couple weeks for brief order writing sessions. Didn't have enough time to diplom much, though. Figured I would just try taking a few centers before the end of the game.
10. Tried slowing Turkey down a bit by moving to MOS. I had originally intended to do this much earlier, when it would've a) worked and b) evened up our center counts.
11. Attempted to take part in France's plan of a last minute stalemate. Failed.
