Now Now Essex, stop trying to defend the indefensible.
Yet he has 18 more towns than you as a result.
Thats just silly. You don't get additional cities by losing them. Its simple maths, subtraction = less.
Rimming people or getting them to quit is only way to make a difference, to which you have not done.
Very ideological. Its not possible to rim the likes of Dethknob. There is always a nice shiny anchor where he can found yet another new city, or a new ghost or inactive where he can move into. Failing that, there is regularly someone like Angel of War who needs to relocate and is willing to gift their cities to the leech. Or even the likes of yourself who's happy to donate a city or two to the Great grey.
But I'm happy to keep doing what I'm doing, thanks.
Put yourself in the middle of enemies, I would bet you not only lose more towns, you would quit not being able to handle it.
Now thats just a dumb statement, with no foundation. But you have been making a lot of them lately. I guess its the effect of hanging around with 'Mr all talk'
Part of the game is ensuring you don't make enemies of everyone around you. But then judging by your own location, you obviously figured that out already.
Happy Christmas, Enjoy your Turkey,,,,,,and your Christmas dinner
Ps Firedom, Not that impressive, but thanks anyway
