--Uymz-sWlsv93-X-tyMNboaNDfnIfCW1mvr3C-tV Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Tell him you asked other GMs and they all agreed. Feel free to send him a copy of my message if you think it will help at all (I don't speak for the other responders in the thread). I know that players, especially less experienced ones, can get really chapped when their own carelessness gets them in trouble. I have sympathy, 'cause I've certainly done that before, myself. But remind him that it isn't a tactical game and a good diplomat hasn't lost just because London falls to an unfortunate mistake.
