Could have been worse, and looked like it would be, but good grief. Tough sledding. Even the sub hit me.
You will be in such a good mood you will allow my brazen edit to British Somaliland?
@mikawagunichi
No way, @Adam514 played for 5 rounds, and @Ghostglider is waiting to tangle with the winner!
What I know for sure is, there are 3 HEAVY hitters in this year’s PTV playoff, still. (I don’t know Daaras, no disrespect)
@dawgoneit @mikawagunichi Thanks guys, appreciate it -
I don’t want to freak anyone out, this is a personal break but I’m in good health and looking forward to coming back eventually. I found that I had crossed the balancing line in my personal life. Need some time away to recalibrate and have healthy space for my gaming addiction(s) while still accomplishing my work/life goals ;)
Cheers
Stu

@Adam514 what a truly epic match with so high level play by both sides. I have been taking strategy notes.
Incredible play on both parts think you could go another 20 turns on this one.
yah it’s amazing how resilient adam’s axis are, i had a number of significant battles that went well over the course of that long match and yet he kept bouncing back and it seemed like i will never be able take them down… toward the end i kept baiting him into going for a large naval battle, giving him greater and greater odds… this last turn i was debating a lot whether i went too far, which i probably did, but it worked out well after all lol…
looking forward to JDOW’s post game analysis, i already know i’m going to get a pretty hard critique of my pacific play hahaha

@gamerman01 Thank you. Hopefully I can graduate to the main bracket next year.
PtV 23 ArtofWar1947 vs AetV (X+11)
AoW47 over AetV through bumping me out.
As I allready explained it to AoW47, i have no furthe interest in a game against him.
If it happens that we should have a game through Playoff, I will forefit it.

@aequitas-et-veritas good call. If your desired playing speeds don’t match, best to find a different opponent. Just a game that should be enjoyed.
I had already granted a several month delay. After 6 days in a row of not responding–during which AetV was actively engaged in other games, I figured he had lost interest in our game. If at any time he had extended the courtesy of providing a heads up that he needed more time for any plausible reason, I would have gladly granted an extension. I did not post the game myself, because I wanted to give AetV an opportunity to continue the game. If he had informed he wanted a really slow paced game, it would have free me to take up another game.
@ArtofWar1947 sometimes games don’t work out. It happens.
