I am not sure enough about how this ends up.

I will not record a result until I hear again from each of you whether you are resigning or accepting a resignation. Since you’ve had some days to maybe think about it, I wonder what the thoughts are now.

I’m not in a hurry to start the next game, I’m having trouble keeping up with the 3 I have, so take your time.

I think @Arthur-Bomber-Harris said he isn’t too interested in continuing in the playoff anyway, time constraints. That’s fine, and I can understand the resignation, but I don’t want to chalk up a loss to someone who technically won? the game.

I won’t go on and on, I’m an outsider to the game, but I want to float the idea of a “draw”, where @GeneralDisarray advances because ABH willingly forfeits the opportunity to advance in the playoffs, and maybe this game result isn’t recorded in the permanent standings.

Again, I just don’t like the idea of recording a win for General D and a loss for ABH unless for example you were both to say ABH was losing the game anyway.

It would be nice to have some kind of agreement. To me the dream scenario is you reset the battle to the point after ABH saves all subs, but the game is yours (plural)

In case it helps you understand where I’m coming from, I WOULD be happy to conclude this and record ABH loss and General D win, IF General D, um, accepts that

I think, soon,
I’m prioritizing our 4 player game, of course, and I have a hotly contested Classic tournament game going so people waiting on my game to conclude there.

I’m not taking on any new games until I can get one or two of these done, but then, both of my other 2 games will result in another game if I win

The slow but steady pace over 20 months and counting kind of adds to the mystique of this game, I think. But I’m not willfully slowing it down, it’s just the 1 game I have that doesn’t have multiple people waiting on me, and as we both know, these major power turns are usually… big undertakings
