Now, as I see it, either he is purposefully trying to make it a longer game which increases his chances of losing(seems unlikely) or he just never saw that he had a donimant advantage.
My question would be: (color)You had what seemed to me, to be a easily won game in the early rounds. Why didn't you use it and finish the game?(just wondering)reply as PM
I would gain no advantage from the question except some insight into the reasoning for not making the moves.
Your thoughts on this topic are appreciated. Thanks Players

ALL game related chat is to be in the gamechat only, in english

Rule #2: No secret diplomacy
Any form of diplomatic discussion between opponents must be posted in the game chat in English or in a language that all opponents understand. Diplomacy includes, but is not limited to: proposing truces, negotiating alliances, and coordinating assaults. Secret diplomacy can be hard to prove, but if you suspect it you should leave the players in question appropriate ratings. If you feel certain about players engaging in secret diplomacy consider reporting them in the Cheating & Abuse Reports forum by posting a new topic.

18. Can I make an alliance or truce with another player?
Yes, but you must conduct all diplomacy in the in game chat.
AFTER the game you can discus the game via pm's, but to do so during the game can easely be misconstrued as a secret alliance.
