Fluffi24 (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) draw Kluka (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 136

We both got our native secondary with a ton of gold but no conservatories. And the opponent got a maximum hive.
I had Galtran, spent a long time thinking about where he could eat a couple of chests, but never found a spot :) Gold piles are scattered like bird droppings - but there are only 2 chests on the big respawn.

I came to the opponent through my elven secondary near the end of week 2, saw Kyrr. I cast View Air (had Advanced), saw a chain. I figured the chain wouldn't be needed if Ivor were near the castle; so I estimated the castle's location and the secondary and rushed (had Basic Logistics). In the end, I captured the secondary on almost the last hex instead of the castle. If I had run the other way, everything would have been different.

Then I took a Pandora's Box for 10K experience, tried not to expose myself to Ivor. Had a Ballista of 225 or a Messenger's Ribbon. The opponent outnumbered me thanks to Wyverns, though my 100+ Grand Elves also inspired confidence. I wasn't quite sure what to do; on 135 I was crushed at the opponent's elven secondary.

There was a bad connection, and we couldn't see each other in battle. The opponent couldn't stand it and on 136, during my turn, ended the game. I didn't see Ivor's exact power (turned out to be 19 Wyverns and Mass Haste), so I disagreed with my loss.
In the end, we agreed to a draw.
Thanks for the game.

Thinking about whether a draw agreement is appropriate given my clearly worse situation, I recalled my mistakes in various games over the last few days of play and decided it was appropriate. It's one thing to save before a fight and submit the save for adjudication, and another to shout in chat "come out and fight!!!" and leave the game. In such a state, as I remember myself, one can change many things. Not for the better.

PS. Apologies if anything is wrong.
