scooter is the only player who did not lose any units. So he gained ground in that respect.

He didn't lose any cities either, so he gained relative to CF and Com. The question is: Did he gain enough to fight a two-front war?

Looks like he may have correctly read a check-out from Cornflakes and may not need to fight a two-front war in the near term. He definitely doesn't think he's loved for what he did... he just thinks it was in his best interest and has a good chance of being able to get away with it.

Yeah, maybe he's reading the room better than I'm giving him credit for. All I know is if I was Cornflakes, scooter wouldn't be winning this game without a bloody nose.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

This is a leading question with implications. You should not ask this.

isnt it common knowledge that he is taking over during that time? Due to the post in civ general? And with Gira being not that great at the game.... i guess i dont see how im giving away any info as it was more of a joke post. ( especially with how cornflakes is wanting to still command the game from the sidelines via phone? )
I can delete it if its that bad, but im honestly not seeing it.

You are implying that it should be obvious to TBS that Cornflakes allowing gira to sub for him means he is checked out. Should you be saying that as a global lurker? No. Thus you should not be asking a question that implies the same thing.

TBS could backstab him and capture all his wonders and get into a winning position, but instead he... signed OB with Cornflakes last turn and now is waiting for me to play, so I know what that means. And Commodore treaty ends in 3T, so GG. Considering conceding because I don't have the kind of time it takes to fight off a 2-3 front war.
I love me some scooter, but man is he oddly surprised people would hate him after the constant naked aggression...
Cornflakes isn't actually attacking him though, is he?!
