Kinda hope so actually, for a game that advertised "biggest dealbreaker" to be something you should strive for, we've had very little of that kind of thing.
he was planning to backstab sunrise and take nero from him, at least. until sunrise kabosh'd that by razing the city

But it's not particularly valuable to the two, as they're both land powers, with inland empires. Now Plako *really* wishes he'd have it.
Ichabod obviously wanted it, he was talking about winning the race to it in his war plans, and was trying to manipulate sunrise into lightly defending it or something.... sunrise probably just values avoiding a war w/ Ichabod over the city.
I still can't beleive Sunrise razed it.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

Sunrise is paranoid 
I think this is Sunrise's biggest flaw in this game, especially after getting so burnt by PB2 and 4. When given a choice with a risk, Sunrise will now always hedge his bets.
Contrast with Mackseven. When dealt a bad hand, they made a deliberate risk, knowing failure would doom them. Their first gamble, axe-rushing Azza, paid off handsomely, giving them access to better land and stone. Their second gamble, a farmer's gambit, didn't pay off when Commoxenu attacked.

Is he really paranoid when everyone IS out to get him?

Sure, everyone's out to get him, but everyone's out to get everyone else as well

Yes, it just makes him reasonably paranoid.

I feel bad for Seven. Xenu has been nothing but nasty all game long.

Reasonably paranoid indeed!

Lord Parkin Wrote:It's not against the rules, though I can somewhat understand the frustration. Others have used the same tactic in the past, if not in this specific game then certainly in others. Anyway, I haven't even been doing it much recently - checking in on the game more than once per turn has been more about double-move paranoia. (On that topic, I really wish we'd just add a rule against double moves and be done with it... it'd greatly reduce the stress both from worrying about them and from people arguing about them. Had I known in advance the trouble that lay in store, I wouldn't have signed up to this game in the first place unless double moves were ruled out.)
My objective opinion on changing research is in the absence of strict rules, the risk is its own penalty - i.e. forget to change back (or be unable to log in to do so) and waste hundreds of beakers on something you didn't want.
 Not quite getting the point.

In short (and I can't go into more detail as a lurker) lets say Azza did his best to goat LP into this.
Moved here so we can get into details. Azza planted a city close to LP and left his troops vulnerable by removing the forest the city was planted on. This is all the information we can see in threads, from LPs thread since Azza hasn't updated in a while.
Are you saying that by planting close to LP that Azza goaded LP into attacking, or is there something else?
