Re: [maharajahsdiplomacy] Delhi EOG

in regard to Luis's comments on Delhi's EOG:
 
      Yes, I was eliminated in the first round.  Yes,
I was eliminated by Luis and Andrew.  That was
more or less public knowledge if anyone wanted
to check.
      If Luis is saying that I shouldn't have been allowed
to be a replacement he should take it up with David.
Sometimes you take the replacements you can get.
I waited to see if someone else would come forward.
I wasn't champing at the bit to get back into the
tournament.
       Luis seems to think that I had to know that
he, or Andrew I still haven't checked, won our
first round game.  I never bothered to look because
frankly I didn't care.  I blocked his email because
I felt like it.  Luis is not a correspondent that
one enjoys having, an opinion that I am not
alone in holding.  Feel free to block my email
if you please.  I won't mind a bit.  You'll
notice that neither Andrew nor Luis can
claim that I wouldn't talk to them or negotiate
with them as I did so extensively.  I treated
them the same way I would treat any other
player who I knew from experience to be
difficult to work with.
       As for this being a sick game, I think
Luis is "the pot calling the kettle black" here.
Luis' problems in this game were of his
own making because he simply has to
always have his own way because, after
all, he is both always right, and entitled to
have the game go the way he plans.
My guess is that without Andrew's support,
(wasn't that the deal you offered me in the first
round, Luis, go for first and second in round
one and then carry that cooperation over into
round two?), he would have been the first
eliminated.
       I think that allowing a wildcard spot was a mistake
and I would have liked to have had the chance to have
had the final be declared a draw with the tournament
winner decided on some point system.  Still it was
a well run tournament and the best man won so I
suggest we now have a few words from the winner.
