2012-12-08 Excellent 1st place play by mas1254. He got flags from everyone fairly early but patiently waited for a lengthy battle for 2nd to end. He didn't worry about being in "3rd" after the battle for 2nd made me and the other player bigger than he was. He also willingly allowed us to take his lands to make the front bigger so that the battle for 2nd could end faster. Very patient, very understanding, not whining about flags--just great. Thanks for the great 1st place play, mas1254.
