I’m curious to see if you make a play for Tokyo or not.  :-D

[Shin-Ji]

24% odds by my count, so I’ll pass for now.

@Shin:

I had 50% in Moscow and decided to head elsewhere and that has worked out well for me.  :-D

[Shin-Ji]

Indeed it has.  Waiting for me to make a silly mistake is generally a solid strategy.

On the bright side, I’m coming up with some much better Allied strategies as a result of this game.

[Shin-Ji]

In fact, I’m ready to concede now.  I think I’ve gotten what i could from this game.  It’s been interesting playing against a Tier 1!  Thanks for the game.

I think my record is a tad inflated . . . I think I’m a solid tier 2.  :-D

I’m en route to losing two current games and that’ll hurt my record some. And then I have 1 that isn’t looking too good for me, but I at least have a shot at still. Not counting this game or the 2 games I just started and WAY too early to call either way, I think I’ll end up losing 3 out of 5.
