Did the others just forget to expand? (Or were so boxed in they couldn't?) I remeber from last screenies that you had a lot of land to claim.

There has been some pm (apart from the usal remembering people to play they turns) about calling the game. It seems that we would keep playing but funny part is that GJ thinks he can actually win.
This game may last one thousands years but I will win it in the end.

I do think I woulda won!! My economy was super good, waaaaaay better than anyone else, I had a crazy capital pulling in billions of commerce, and about to throw a GA to switch into Bureau... We had about equal numbers of cities, I had more food, more hammers, and equal numbers of cities on the islands, I think I woulda gotten all of Gavagai's land too.
What did you have going for you that made you so confident?
What? Had we been playing the same game?
You indeed have more beakers than me and also more power but thats it. Not only I have more cities, more food and more hammers, I still have for 6-8 cities to expand in the mainland. In the island it was another 5-6 more, not to mention that I have Dhal as a neighbour which was free terrian to eat a little bit later. You on the other hand have run of land except for the center island. Here demos of last turn (at 20% science), next turn I was planting 3 new cities. Not to mention that now all my cities were going to be full workshops. 
You can log in on the save I posted, I had had the same # of cities as you and many settlers out too. Two more on the island and two more on the mainland, I think. Your food and hammers leads here are very recent and very small; for example I think I had been taking back hammers lead on my turn for the last few turns. Where were you in tech? KTB isn't such a big deal in small PBEMs, I think I would have just gotten further and further ahead.
Anyways, I was #1 in score on the last turn so I win. 
Pretty sure I was leading in food for the last 10t (which is like 3 months) at this (as with hammers) gap was going to get bigger and bigger, enough for me to catch in tech. And in the late game being AGG was going to be critical
Lets put it like this, I had enough room to expand that if you eat all gavagai we would have been even. I actually overtake you in score when I end turn.
