Don't forget you can move time forwards to see what might happen

And in doing so, set moves to happen in the future

I'm enjoying the anonymous side of it too. I'm pretty certain I know who a couple of people are, based purely on their writing style and the types of deals they are trying to make with me!

For those of you playing along at home:

6 mines have been dug by 6 players.
A player has been eliminated.

I am a paranoid wreck*

I wish this game had a spectator mode. Just an after-the-game-ends one (to prevent all the obvious abuse scenarios.)

I hate it and love it at the same time. I love the castles being built on sand bit, but hate the fact at anytime they can be kicked down.

I can't say I feel like that right now, but I said that about WoW too :)

I'm intensely interested to find out how was which colour at the end of the game.

It's an elaborate ruse: everyone you're playing against is actually MaliA, and he's banging you hard. Everyone else is playing a different game.

It would most certainly be full of betrayal and subterfuge.

I've warmed to anonymous, if only for the expectation of the reveal at the end

Thanks Purple! I knew I wouldn’t be able to increase my electrical output without ticking off my neighbours, so that sort of dictated that I stay small and relately peaceful.

What sneak attack? The time I sent two drillers in for a laugh?

My favourite part of the game was seeing Mali build a mine. Before it completed, I told him I had my eye on a mine. He immediately stopped building it.

Me: “Only joking. I have no plans to attack you.”

Mali: *build mine*

Me: *immediately attacks and takes mine*
