Xdap rd6 Ancients allies vs allweneedishank

@Me1945:

For all Garg’s prompting it’s not moving any faster now than it was then, time to kick some ***

4 turns in the 1st month and 11 in the second. Every tax accountant will tell you the difference.

So this is Round 16 now, I must be reading something wrong.

@rgp44:

Wasn’t this game supposed to be over a month ago?  For all Garg’s prompting it’s not moving any faster now than it was then, time to kick some ***

So, rgp44, with all respect, is this meant seriously, or are you repeating something you just heard from others?
Since Gargs “prompting” when he said he would rule in favor of Axis but game speed has picked up, Ancients replied (in calendar days, so likely in less than 24h or 48h absolute in some cases) to turns like this: 1, s, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, s, 1, 1, s, 1, 1, 1

Now pls feel free to check, errors are possible. s means same calendar day. If I am dead wrong, I repent publicly.

Whats your idea of fast for a three-man team across continents? And let us know who’s a… you want to see kicked, pls!

Having said all this, we always acknowledged that Garg could rule anytime, totally in accordance with tourney rules, and that we would be fine with this. We appreciate the time to have a fighting chance, and also that Hank’s and Love’s patience must be strained. They act like gentlemen, of course.

Ask Bold, I am just touchy. Right, Bold? ;)

Hmmm someone didn’t tell RPG that this game is going into the new year…
Well, I guess it will be a pleasant surprise for him.

[boldfresh]

this could be a 30+ rounder!

[rgp44]

I grant that you’ve increased speed from slug to snail, my real point is Garg’s distressing impotence.  He was supposed to be this Colossus, this great legendary thing and yet he now seems to be no more than a flitting, gassy windbag.  It’s like he’s the Second Coming of Barack Obama (which would make him the Third Coming).  Here I was prepared to change my entire belief system, to accept Garg as my personal lord and savior and now i’m just very disillusioned.  I mean, what do I do now??

(Is he still alive? I’m Canadian and have no idea!)

[Gargantua]

It’s all about this Japanese Move, And the subsequent British one.

It’s possible a winner could be determined in the next 24 hours.  Why “rule” when the game can be decided itself!
