Re: Throwing the game.

I ask everyone to look at Owls 244.  The russian player first accused Italy of being Austria as well.  Then that year for the first time Italy moves to reverse his attack and defend against Austria.  Italy then works with me.  Wants a few not so good moves made I want to talk about it and he stops talking.  Then when Italy could have moved a unit from VEN - TRI and build in ROM to really stop Austria Italy moves to ROM.  Then Italy stops playing.  No massive exchange getting mad at Italy just stated it was a mistake but we can hope to get VEN back.  Italy goes silent....  THE FIX IS IN!!!
