Then perhaps in the future, be etter at communicating
a bit. Ignoring many inquires, even from opponents,
should not be the case. And we're all in this for the
fun, but I can't see how the last 3 turns have been
fun for your side, except perhaps when you like to
read losing battle reports. The mail is the mail, but
be a bit more sporting in the future, eh? You guys
wasted the money to keep playing too, and it makes it
even worse if you weren't going for the ring and just
making us pay for the sake of it.
Good gaming in the future
