I made proposals that hurt you. They were vetoed too.

Well, I only came in at the end, but it definately reads as an accurate, if paranoid, view of things.

Of course, I couldn’t tell you for sure.

Actually, I was actively trying to keep you from winning, but wasn’t going so far as to manipulate the ruleset to do so.  This is a lingering grudge from an event during your last dynasty where you repeatedly vetoed my attempts to salvage the dynasty, with the only apparent reason being that you did not want your dynasty to function.

I’m sympathetic with Rodlen, but as for people ganging up on you…

Have you ever played Diplomacy? Or Risk? Monopoly? Or any multiplayer game that allows alliances? Yes, jump out to a huge lead and people will gang up on you. Especially in a game that makes up the rules as you go along. It happens.

I’ve said from the beginning that you need people on your side, not just PP and relationship and whatever other statistics are out there.

You’re way out in the lead in a game where the mechanic for scoring points was making entries to a wikipedia. You posted a lot of one-liners and ran up your score. Yes, you took advantage of the rules, but other people are also taking advantage of the rules when they make kill-the-leader proposals.

...you do realize that this was not a serious post, but a sarcastic summary of the events of the dynasty?

Yes, but I was addressing your underlying serious concerns. Which have merit.
