Been there, done that...still not escaped, actually.
Really, being a student sucks. Being a new graduate sucks more though.

+84 gpt with 3 cities building Wealth. Over 200 fail gold from Mids if novice finishes it now.
Things are going to get interesting if no one does anything aggressive in the next 20 turns.

novice the wonder whore strikes again, but I'm going to get so much gold from Mids that by T110 I will have Aesthetics, Mysticism, Polytheism, Literature, Horseback Riding and Iron Working. So I don't care much about losing Mids. Then it's Music and Construction and killing novice and taking his juicy wonders and shrine and everyone will throw in the towel. Or I'll misjudge everything, and Thoth invades me.

You know what I hope happens, 'cause I'm evil? I hope you beat novice, or whoever, and then they don't throw in the towel so I can see how you handle the situation I (felt I) was in in 46. Of course, you'll be much better off given that you'll actually keep his land ...

Doesn't matter if they don't want to, I'm fairly sure that if I get into that position I can finish it out. I only have to defend from Thoth and focus on taking out Pindicator and Commodore and that's 50% of the map in my hands.

I'm sure you can. I was partly interested because of your answer to my earlier question, where you said you didn't think the game would go on long enough for the beaker limitations of the map to matter - but the game can always go on longer than one thinks is reasonable.
Also, what if someone undertakes a parallel conquest of someone else's land and manages to keep pace with you, even all the way to 50%? Like I say, I'm sure you can handle it; I'm just interested in these contingencies, what you would do if things don't go according to plan, etc.

Thoth has hit a happy cap and has to spend beakers on dealing with that. Lewwyn is about to go broke. Pindicator is just about out of contention now. Commodore needs to kill someone just to reach the amount of land I already have. Serdoa could be a problem though, I'll give you that, but his route to Domination goes through Pindicator first and then likely Commodore. I actually lack a lot of information on Serdoa, about how his tech rate is going, but ultimately, if he does go for Construction and try to finish off Pindicator, he will lack a significant amount of beakers (to the extent that I should have the potential to beat him to knights, or hopefully, cossacks).

Cool. Thanks for being patient with my questions, Krill.
