@Boldfresh:

ha i have no idea what you are talking about seth…  you’re a lot of fun to play though cuz you are such a good guy.  this game is in the bag and we both know it.

I am simply in awe of your amazing ability at self-deception. Are you sure you’re not an ostrich? Because you do a very good imitation of one by sticking your head in the sand.

“lalalalala, no impending axis win over here. i’m awesome and the allies are awesome.”
-Bold (as interpreted by seth)

@Boldfresh:

hang on - let me think abou that a second.  that’s a pretty bold move.

You are a pretty BOLD guy . . . get it? Because your name has Bold in it. That’s solid gold funny material right there. I should be on comedy central! Heck I deserve my own network!

Take your time. There are some pretty solid positives about it and there are some pretty solid negatives. Just depends on what you want to do.

For more examples of solid gold belly laughing material, did you see my take on you above Russia’s turn? Pretty spot on isn’t it?

@Boldfresh:

you’re right - i think i win either way - just need to pick one.  :-P

Wow, you’re a funny man too! We should be partners together in an act. You can be the well meaning bumbling doofus who always says something funny without realizing it. His comedic antics will highlight the suave 007esque main character I’ll be. That’s a no fail recipe for fame and stardom!

final answer? I’m good to go with Japan?
