Redwich - a dramatic game (in progress)

[Bananadine]

I don't think the game is tainted by secretperson's failure to win when he "should have won", or anything like that. This didn't even come up until he failed to take his turns! That's the real problem. It's okay to have what secretperson had, and still fail to quickly win with it! That's just having strengths and weaknesses. We all have those. If you guys really think that secretperson was so dangerous, then yes, I'll accuse you of relying too much on predictions and not enough on actual battle results, and I'll claim I did better than you did in that regard. But that's not such an insult, is it? I mean, who's sitting on my capital right now? I messed up badly in some regards, and I guess I paid for it. Strengths and weaknesses!

(No, I still don't know what T'ien Ch'i actually has. I know as much as Raiel has said: Whatever it was, it wasn't used in a way that would bring victory. Isn't that enough?)

I think we're on the same page, Bananadine, save one point...

I've played (a bit) with Maerlande and we've exchanged ideas and strategies. I've seen some of his turns (in other games).

There is no doubt in my mind that there is nothing ahead of us but a losing slog against what he has as TC... if he sets TC to AI, or a new player comes in for TC, we still have a game of sorts. That analysis is not influenced by preference: that's just the way I see it.
