Statements
Mike Scott (Papacy): As we all know, this game was originally GM'd by the Late Phil Reynolds, and when Chris resurrected it, we had some replacement players come in also. My thanks to Chris for his work, and to those players who came in, tho it changed the whole flow of the game...
When Dave Partridge came in as a replacement during Phil's GMing, Pisa, Venice and I - as the Papacy, worked out a good Tri-alliance, which was resumed with the new game and a new PISA. All worked fairly well, except that my friends stuck me without funds to pay off a joint loan we'd worked on.... and then Pisa went for the Win, but Dave & I were able to hold him off. And then, as I expected Dave went for the Win and got it.
Thanks guys, I had fun, again, and would do it all over if it came up.
Dave Partridge (Venice): I had a lot of fun with this game (and not just because I won (<: ). Far, far back in the distant past we had some interesting and intense diplomacy going on as Mike (Pope), Steve (Pisa) and I forged and alliance to counter the Muslims and take out the inconsistent and therefore dangerous HRE. That alliance was going along fairly well until Gerry took over for Pisa and threw a monkey wrench in the works. More interesting diplomacy as Gerry and Kevin (Muslims) made a bit for the win, especially when Kevin went for the solo. And all along trying to keep the peace with Bob and keep him tying up some of Kevin's units. Mike and I had to do a lot of careful planning, financial and tactical to tiptoe through all the twists and turns. I'm sorry I couldn't arrange to share the win with you Mike, but be sure you'll have an honored minority position in the new government! Bob, thanks for your staunch help. Kevin, you made a couple of really nice tries for the win. Gerry, I wasn't too happy with you when you first jumped in, but you played a good game and I had fun talking with you. And of course many thanks to Chris for taking over the game and doing a fine job GMing. Finally, a quiet moment of remembrance for Phil who started the game, we miss you.
Bob Robles (Byzantium): Congratulations to Dave. I took over a power on the verge of elimination and drove it even further toward oblivion. A very interesting game and I appreciate the efforts at teamwork.
