Message from Russia to Italy
Hi Andy,
Sorry for the delay last season -- my orders were only in right before the
deadline due to business (busy-ness?).
So you're sure you want to risk losing to a three way? Obviously there's
nothing I can do to make a solo happen alone, nor to make a three way, but I
*will* be backing off. Last chance.
And what are you doing supporting people into Mun, huh? Seems like the last
thing you'd want is me out of Mun.
Anyway, not much to discuss unless you've changed your mind.
One last note that may or may not be obvious to you: I would have set draw if
I didn't have reason to believe that there will be a change in the final
board arrangement.
Take care, whatever you decide.
--- Eric

I understand.

When you took Venice from me 3 turns ago, that is where you left me.
If you had left me at 4, where I could be useful, I would have considered
helping you. But you once again, did what you said you wouldnt and took
dots from me while getting me into other dots just to string me along.
You never promised me anything, so I dont hold it against you. But as I
have said for years, I play online to make my ftf game sharper, and in a
ftf game, you rarely eliminate a smaller power that can help you solo,
just to make the draw smaller. You might eliminate a smaller power, if you
dont have any chance of soloing, but not if they can get you to a solo.
You were playing for the draw, not for the solo.
Which proved dead on to me that you intended to play this game like about
80-95% of the people who play on the judges, and eliminate people, simply
becuase they can.
Ben gave me a more convincing argument that he would support me in Berlin,
than any assurance either written or not from you that I would survive
this game.
Obviously there's

Yeah. And if Ben kills me, he does. But I trust my fate in his hands much
more than in yours.

Why?? Ben has promised me 2 supports in Berlin ad infinitum, he could be
lying to me, but why bother, he is in a position to do whatever he wants
and I cant do anything about it...why lie to me.

nope.

And that is what every person in your position should be saying to me.
take care
