@Deadeye, you are a frightening privateer player. When you took over the privateer empire next to me (whom I had an peace treaty with until he dropped) you scared the pants off me. I was not prepared for your sudden aggressive thievery.

@Finewild, you were an excellent and fearsome opponent. This was your game to win, and you were certainly the more skilled player of the two of us. There were two reasons why I beat you. 1: The fleet of Meteors I managed to acquire after @deadeye fell, gave me an advantage you couldn't reproduce or defend against (very well). 2: You let me live. When you offered a peace treaty, I grabbed it immediately because I knew there was no way I could beat you at the time. But the truth was I never intended to help you win. So yes, I did deceive you. You crushed my ally, and honor demanded retribution. I just needed the time to get my strength, and you willingly gave it to me. I'm not gloating. I'm not gloating. I'm acknowledging that you could have won this game, and there was nothing I could have done to stop you.

@Mechnomaniac I'm surprised you opted to pick up the Evil Empire when they were clearly on the way down. But with the meager resources they had left, you used them very effectively. You definitely had me little worried a few times. I salute your resourcefulness. You made the most of what little you had.

@Smoothk Thank you for honoring the peace agreement. I was almost certain you would turn on me at some point. It was certainly in your best interest to, and while I'm reasonably confident I could have fended you off if you had, your military ranking certainly had me weary. You are certainly a very trust worthy ally. Perhaps more so than I.

@Snork You were an excellent ally. I'm sorry I was so useless in helping you defend against Finewilds assault. Thank you for sticking with the game. You are certainly the epitome of the tenacious player. With virtually nothing, you still stuck with the game. Thank you.

@everyone-else Thanks for a great game! It was certainly a weird one. To those who dropped early, I understand that this is a demanding and time consuming game. Also a frustrating one to stick with when it seems things are hopeless. However I think many of you underestimated your position, and ability to fight. The balance of power shifted greatly in this game, and the person who was beating you was probably getting a worse beating from someone else. Sometimes all you need to do is stick it out a little longer.
