End of Game Statements

Kevin Wilson (RADICAL):  Every time I play this game and don’t put any IP on Aparatschik, he waves 3 times and wins.  I put IP on him he keels over dead at the start.  Oh well, should have hedged a little I guess.  Congrats on the win to Bill, even if he didn’t have to work very hard for it.  Thanks to the rest for playing and Chris for running another bookkeepers nightmare, although we didn’t get far enough to put his skills to that much of a test.  Since it wasn’t that challenging, let’s go again, if Chris is up for it.  And this time I will put at least a couple of IP on Aparatschik and see if can slip into a backdoor win. An oldie but a classic.  We really should play more.

Bill Scharaf (HPRRP):  I won with a minor investment in a character apparently no one else invested in at all…not extremely satisfying… but Kevin, if you will really invest in “a” next time let me know…I don’t want to waste ip’s on a character that will die immediately…heh….

Chris Geggus (GEGS):  Seems a little strange playing by mail. I think this is a game that needs player interaction even if not direct diplomacy. My usual play would involve getting IPs out there to stir the pot a bit and draw out others, but obviously in this case, totally irrelevant. I guess only 1 player welcomes a straight 3 waver, so congrats to Bill. Thanks to Chris again.
