05 Jan 23 UTC	Gg! Couldn’t see a possibility to conquer two more SC’s. I would have accepted earlier if Holland was dead. Anyway, congrats Holland! :)
05 Jan 23 UTC	Gg! I was wondering how long the Andaman Islands would go under your radar Britain lol
05 Jan 23 UTC	Thanks for the cooperation, China <3 Almost too late; clutch save France!
05 Jan 23 UTC	GG! In a perfect world I would've liked Holland to be eliminated too, but I'm good with the outcome anyway. Working yourself into a stalemate line usually deserves a draw position in my eyes. I've played a Britain-France alliance on this map before and thought it was over when I saw Britain stab ~20 SCs ahead and ~5 away from a solo. Very surprised at France's ability to bring it back, I was sitting on the edge of my seat the past few years. Was wondering how long Andaman would last as well lol. Almost didn't notice it myself, it took me 15 minutes of looking at the board wondering where in the world Holland's third SC at the time was. And then after that I thought Britain wanted to keep Holland alive for some reason. Curious as to Autumn 1892 where Afghanistan's attack on Tashkent cost me Kashgar. Not that it really mattered in the end, but perhaps Turkey thought I'd vacate it? Japan - thank you as well for the game-long alliance! Pleasure working with you in Siberia, SE Asia, and the effort to hold off Britain in the end.
05 Jan 23 UTC	I was fully onboard with helping Britain solo to since it was a PPSC game until it looked like they were going to start sniping my centers. Good game, all, and congrats to Holland
05 Jan 23 UTC	Only I didn’t. :)
05 Jan 23 UTC	I really hoped Austria will at least leave me with one SC after the stab... Oh well... When I took over the country I knew the bad situation it was in, but didn't expect such strong alliance between China and Japan (I thought Japan will stab China at some point). Gg!
06 Jan 23 UTC	Holland here! At the first time I took over this country I have only two SCs, one fleet, nowhere to build, and a dominating Britain right in my face. I in no time decided to make myself into a stalemate. Even this is a PPSC game I would do this to have fun. I was guessing how Japan is doing and worked really hard for this draw. Though I actually missed how they're doing many times, I think I earned my place in this draw alliance. Lucky the Japs took Sarawak in 1892, so I have less choices and more chance to hit the spot. I made it and thanks to you all! It's nearly impossible to fill an open position with nearly no resources available and change things; but it's always possible to make joint effort with half the world despite your strength and achieve victory. I submit one piece of order every turn but observe all your orders from Ireland to Cathay; it's everyone that forced the game to a draw, while I proudly claim myself to be a worthy member of us all! Omt how can I hold Andaman till 1896? Maybe it's got protection color?
06 Jan 23 UTC	Yes it was camouflage for sure. :)
06 Jan 23 UTC	You have definitely deserved the draw, Holland. I contemplated seizing Bornea in '96 when I controlled Java Sea, but I would rather reward cooperation than play purely for capital gains. :)
