Languishing Yet Again (VQ game)

[Viking]

I don't seem to be getting game files. And since players aren't describing their moves it makes it hard to play.

HEY! I describe my moves.

I don't seem to be getting game files. And since players aren't describing their moves it makes it hard to play.

1) Do you have an alternate email other than the one on ACTS, since I see that the latest move file (9:27a Eastern) was sent to that one?

2) ACTS has the master record of what people are doing in the journal, but all of the last round of impulses seem to be described here...

Re: describing moves. It helps to plan your next move when you don't have access to cyberboard if you get a description of what the other players' moves are.

In this case I didn't know where the protestant colony had gone or which option Spain had taken and where they placed the fortress etc.

.
No, that was because you rescinded your offer before I was done with other diplo.

I recinded it when Habbaku started declaring his diplomacy. However, given your history of not replying when you really mean "no" I think I was doing you a favor in telling you at all.

This hand seems to be as good as  Solmyr's seems to be poor.

This is fantastic, my luck has rubbed off on solmyr... I sort of regret playing the pro-protestant secret status now...

[Solmyr]

Why is everyone worrying so much about Spain to begin with?

I think my Spain traumatized people in the last game.

I think my Spain traumatized people in the last game.

What was especially traumatic again and again is that you used 2 cp to cancel my entire hand again and again.

[Solmyr]

Got +1 card marker from jilt. Someone put it on my power card please, as I'm skipping the rest of the turn due to no cards.
