Also before folks start bitching about his defense (rb's latest and least pleasant meme) he's been stuck between us and mardoc all game so never had a chance due to not having back lines like we both do. And it was probably all he could do to keep up with mardoc's military on the other border so he didn't have much to spare for peaceful old us.
This is all still pretty speculative as Azza might be moving his forces towards us (I did not do any scouting moves this turn yet) as the war just started and it is fairly natural that most of his forces where originally located at the vulnerable border city next to a neighbor who has attacked him twice. But if Azza just keeps everything in Dental Plan then this is pretty much the same case as our PB13 situation with suttree and mackoti. There suttree kept everything at our border and mackoti got his cities for free. Consequently, if this is the case, I totally would understand if Mardoc would be extremely frustrated about it, but if the lurkers react in a same way as in PB13, then lurker thread probably fills with posts that describe Mardoc as a stupid whiner, who invited trouble with his aggressive play.
Btw, I checked the F4 screen and dtay's WW towards Whosit was ridiculously low, I think something like 30 % smaller than ours towards Azza. It seems that CH is doing all the heavy lifting there and keeps Whosit busy while dtay is getting new land even easier than we do. Well, at least we are more or less keeping up with our attack so let's see how we, dtay and other contenders manage to improve our position further. CH+Whosit combo possibly offers even a better path to more land for dtay than our Azza+Mardoc attempt, but proximity of krill+novice and aggressive border with pindicator hopefully slow him down.
