Thanks WW for a well run game as usual.

As for not seeing it coming, I pretty much expected Joe to wipe me out based on the first stab, but figured I would at least try to play along on the off chance he was being honest - since I knew I couldn't stop either he or max from wiping me out, I had few options.

Can't blame Max for his stab either.

My sole consolation in this one was that I did take Rome and that the Pope was taken down - who also fought valiantly by the way - and no hard feelings.

For what it's worth, I've never played the full version of the game, but I think the variant definitely needs some work. I'd be interested in understanding how the full rules work, since I assume they would have led to a very different set of outcomes.

Guys,
We have a bit of press from a modern-day Niccoló, and an exciting turn to boot! We say goodbye to our Neapolitan, Nathan, who fought valiantly until the end and never saw it coming. Of course, lack of knowledge of one's death doesn't necessarily make it either peaceful or easy. Nathan, an EoG would be welcome, either now or at the game's ultimate conclusion.
