The Way of the Samurai Is Found in Death

"Above all, the Way of the Samurai should be in being aware that you do not know what is going to happen next, and in querying every item day and night.  Victory and defeat are matters of the temporary force of circumstances.  The way of avoiding shame is different.  It is simply in death."  -- Hagakure

France committed seppuku rather than playing a role in the charade that was this latest game of Diplomacy.  Not even the Hidden Dragon can grapple with the True Bromance I was up against.  Maybe next game I will get to decide where the players start...but until then I leave you with this: *

I sure hope you have a real reason for resigning rather than your cowardess one about the game being rigged. Will you always cry and bitch when you aren't the winner?

Leaving the game now is weak

Excessive ish-talking isn't healthy--please keep your negativity out of my grill. I've moved past it.

Today is a new day.
