Normally, I stay out of the externals. The trolls always have a field day with the posts of the leaders of a sinking alliance. For you CJ, I will make an exception.
I've got a lot of respect for what you've done here and you've taught my team and me a few very valuable lessons. To this point, your team played the game perfectly. Secure a walk-in pact, scare the sh** out of every other alliance (those who deny are lying) with your first war and keep every other alliance at the edge of an NAP until you're ready to eat them. You've done it without overwhelming numbers (until now). The strategy is brilliant. The other alliances you've eaten did not even see you coming ... hell, half the world is still sitting back praying TBD just goes away. You set a pace that only 2 other alliances (KOD and Koopas) can possibly keep up with and when it comes time to eat KOD you've already got JG and Koopas in your pocket.
I see this world coming down to a 3 way race on wonders build with TBD the clear front-runner. I'll be out on the rim laughing the whole time. Thank you for the lesson. It will not be one I soon forget.
