Symphony D.

You seem to be under the impression that defeatism or even realism ever did anybody any good in a boardgame. There's no point to believing you might actually lose when there is nothing actually at stake--all it does is cloud your judgment.Symphony's gloating is funny, given that he's not even in that good of a position, and would be in a pretty bad one if it weren't for Niklas.
I am the most competent person currently playing, by general admission of others. I will continue to perform as I ever have. If I can find some other tactic toward victory--a psychological one perhaps--then so be it, I will pursue it, no matter how minimal the chances of it succeeding. If you choose to interpret that as merely bravado or boisterousness, that's your perspective, but it's not mine.
And that's probably why I'm getting high marks despite a poor position: I actually know what I'm doing.
Oh, and it makes for good fun too.
P.S. Ask yourself why Niklas and I went from killing each other one minute to working together the next.
P.P.S. It wasn't because it was the most productive solution at the time.
