hmmm................
I don't like talking about my strategy, but I suspect my position is not as weak as it once was. Whether my neighbors have similar strengths that will allow them to triumph over me (not the least being my total locan of focus on SP's), or whether I can slingshot out into the lead is something I really can't predict.
I'd say if Reggy wants to go for UN Peacekeeper role, good for him. Play the game how you like. Spell your name out in roads if you want. Whatever makes it amusing for you.
I do think I have a shot at it, though. My toughest problem lies in the fact that I'm really quite loyal to Reggy because his assistance saved me in the beginning, when I had lost a bunch of cities to mindworms (for a while, I really thought they were going to kill off my faction!) and later against the squids on my home continent. So that loyalty means that even though I could win the Planetary Governorship (or at least have a really good shot at it), or do other things that might help me and harm my ally, I am loath to use them. Shrug. I'm really not sure how to handle it, because I usually just play to win, but I also really like all my fellow players.
I would like to bring up another thing about play-style, though. PB's. I'm a builder. I like building up my nation. If anyone decides they want to use PB's, PLEASE lets announce it first, at least. Big wet holes in my nation do not appeal to me right now (though they may later, if everybody feels like it).
