ME-PBM; To the Shades of Madness Game 166 From: tolkien@aol.com (Tolkien) Date: Wed, 21 Sep 1994 03:13:01 +0000 Nate and Croonies: Game 166 is looking very interesting! The performance of the Shades has gone as predicted, very poor military strategy and a desire to play character nations while the Neutrals fight your battles. To the neutrals in game 166. I have first hand experience while working with the Shades as a neutral ally. They will not let you place in the top three! Ask any neutral in game 72, it was the neutrals which fought every decisive battle, while the shades built up their characters to eliminate the Neutral nations at the games end. But in 166 we see a different story. It seems the Shades' reputation has proceeded them and now they have to fight their own battles. I'm glad to see these 166 Neutrals know what the Shades are about. The Shades are being pulled down. Mithnyano Referenced By Up
