My moves make sense. You people are just rushing to conclusion based on some very limited information.

You always say that, then after it is all done, and the entire Ottoman empire was conquered by the Spanish, it becomes clear that no, they didn't make any sense.

Just like your DOW on me made no sense when it was made, and after watching your entire army be destroyed in one attack, it still makes no sense.

it made perfect sense. I had Treachery, it is the last turn of the game and my only, ultra-thin chance at victory was a mad dash for VPs. Sure, you had the perfect card to counter it, but again, it was a reasonable risk considering the general situation.

Hi kids, I promise to take my turn this evening. Between volunteer stuff and work yesterday, I was mostly busy till 1:30 last night.

Am I: Katmai? :secret:
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Depends.  How good are your fish tacos?

No rush,  Garbon.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

You rolled 3 minor conversions, not 2.

Oops! :D

Tamas, if you make a file next, can you convert Marseille as well?

So that was the big reveal that made your play this turn make sense?
