Well as the 3rd in the majority of the scores I wouldn't quite put it that way.
Yes, clearly Mari and Bogarus are the leading nations but that does mean I'm not at all a factor in the game. Besides I'd venture I'm much more of a factor in this game than you are
As the majority of the players support my request I don't see why I should bow out of the game b/c of your preference. I find your insistence strange and inconsiderate, had 72h been that important to you why didn't you rail at all the delays the game for so many turns now.
Bottom line - If 72h stays then I'm out.
I'll let QM take the final call on this one.
