Ehm...why isn't anyone dealing with Ernest, given how he he controls half the map and is going to win with tremendous ease unless someone stops him?
A very fair point.
I presume, simply because they each feel it may result in a serious backdraft of blue battalions. It seems Ernest's forces are now the elephant in the room - everyone is playing as if he's not really there. Only Gabu has prodded a bit at the engorging masses, but is clearly liable to be completely overrun.
Some of the players seem to lack any coherent strategy, the game remains interesting if for no other reason than to wait and see what tactical brilliance Josh will produce with each passing round.
