Hey 84-
No need for apology on our hook.. it's part of the game, and we're ready for that.. it's not the first (or last) time it's happened.. although we do wish there was a less destructive way for people to beat us
But anyway- before we knew the standings (cause we had no clue where anyone was ranked) 84 was one of our top, prolly #1, choice for alliance partner..
Keep up the good work.
