Back-Stabbery and Betrayal and Other Fun Stuff!

No offense red, but you were doomed from the start. Gabe was an unpredictable leader (none of us were precisely sure whether he was acting in the best interests of your group or whether he was just screwing with us) and that made nearly everyone feel threatened by him. It was very easy, from there, to turn the other groups against you and plot your demise. Ironically, fate got to you before our intervention, killing your leaders in a plane crash and thus making you even more vulnerable to attack. Not that your new power structure was worse than it's previous state, and not that you wouldn't have gone on to do well if we'd let you be, but new meat vs. the conviction of threatened heads of state was bound to go badly for you.

Green, on the other hand, I actually mildly regret having to do away with you. As green made quite apparent, we had plotted with them for quite a while to find a way to pull a double-win, since they had numerous territories with the resources we needed, but we found logistical issues that were unresolvable. The geography of the board did not look favorably on a green-yellow win, and thus we led them to believe that we still planned for that course of action while secretly talking to black and blue. The logistics were more optimistic in this deal, and now that Jamie had been convinced that we weren't out just to screw him, everything went according to plan.

Yellow- Black - Blue FTW! Literally!
