25 Feb 19 UTC	Autumn, 1910: GameMaster: Hungary voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
03 Mar 19 UTC	Good game all. It was insane to play Hungary in this variant; Byzantium, thanks for the early alliance so I could become a power in the middle of the board in the first place. Then, thanks to Spain's alliance, I was able to try to deal with first Poland and then Israel. And then finally when Spain was pushing for a solo, thanks to Poland and Israel for eventually realizing they need to leave me alone so I can put up a wall against Spain so we could get the draw.
03 Mar 19 UTC	It was tempting for me to continue the attack on you, Hungary, but without having a port where I could build fleets to battle with Spain, I knew I would not get anywhere eventually. Israel, even though we had a couple tense border moments, I thought our alliance worked well geographically. Spain, you were able to get the jump on attacking Ireland, and once I lost control of the North Sea, I had to find another avenue to get any SC's to survive. You did well in getting control of your side of the board!
03 Mar 19 UTC	I was definitely trying to calculate at the end there if it was possible for Poland and I to eliminate Hungary and still force Spain into a draw, but ultimately seemed like too much of a risk. Maybe with press we could have done it, but gunboat seemed sketch. I had a blast though, good game everyone.
03 Mar 19 UTC	Good game, thanks guys. I was hoping for a two-way draw with Hungary until Poland broke through. At that moment I had to position myself in order to not be overrun. When I saw Hungary turn his troops west, I hoped that Poland and Israel would take some SCs. The solo felt pretty far away. Had a real good thing going with Hungary for a while, thank you for that.
