Well played everyone. My initial reaction that the scenario was 80 turns long was not far off the spot.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Well played everyone. My initial reaction that the scenario was 80 turns long was not far off the spot.

Kait and I were guessing that early on too.

Well played, folks!

Thanks to sossos, AlanH and Deckhand (and anyone I missed) for the great game! I thought the scenario was excellent, ep culture complaints notwithstanding, because it involved all sorts of choices and optimizations and required intricate planning throughout.

 

[Gumbolt]

Yeah we didn't guess at that. Well done to all the laurel winners and the millennials.

Maybe next game we will pay more attention to barbs and the rules before we reach the final few turns.

Thanks for a fun scenario.

 

[babybluepants]

Congrats to all the winners!

This was a really fun and challenging scenario. Thanks AlanH, Deckhand and sossos.

Looking forward to the next one.

[Kaitzilla]

Thanks for the map Sossos!

Spreadsheets died.
Weekends burned.
There was lamentation from the lurkers.

Congrats to all the teams for finishing and winning.
This one was fun all the way to the end.

 

[Frederiksberg]

Well done by all. Impressed that Suspects managed to finish at a decent date with so little time left before the deadline.
