No End of Game statements? Come on people: you saw around the world convoys, back and forth, don't you think the world wants an explanation?

I think the issue is the anti-climactic ending in this game. The last year kind of dragged out as we just waited.

RUFFHAUS 8 wrote:The last turn dragged out because the GM and the players tried to circumvent the tournament rules by seeking a DIAS before such results were allowed. This was followed by a two week period where rhere were no orders due because the TC decided to allow for scheduling flexibility suing the period between Christmas and the new year.

It's unfortunate that no one feels like writing any EOG comments. It would be interesting to understand why the game ended early. 1907 was really just a going through the motions period as the remaining players had agreed to DIAS after just six years. Was the gaming experience that unpleasant that everyone hated it so much?


I'd like to know too. It seems like a player or two might have done much better, but decided to end it instead of pushing an advantage. Why?
