Good story. Wasn't a tournament, was it?
I find it interesting that you speak with ellipses even when you are quoted
by others, by the way.

I don't think Eric will be taking SMY. Jason is a Janissary and he will be
supporting AEG - ION, is my guess.
Random thought at 4 a.m.

Thank you
Im putting in my orders now.
Message from Russia to all
Sorry for the delay all,
I actually composed some press for each of you while I was offline, but
didn't get a chance to send it or my orders before leaving town last week.
But at least it looks like I did at least get back (just) in time to avoid
being late, despite my poor planning in setting absence.

Unless you are referring to the possibility that Erik might attack you I'm
not sure what you mean.
>Erik and I have had that conversation and he knows the consequences of

I am sure you've had a conversation, but I can't see how you could make it
stick. If EF coordinate, F will get sufficient builds to ensure that he can
take at least one of your centers, and that's enough to keep me from
soloing. Even if they don't Erik gets pretty secure. And I'm not likely to
be able to hold a strong enough position to slow you down

I assume the smiley means that you do understand, but let me know if you don't.

He can take 1 dot from me right now, that I can replace with YOUR dot.
Absolutely worst case I am at 2, and you get to choose what I keep and my
units are at your bidding.....
The boot becomes a very differnt animal if you have 2 extra units around
it.
