I would like to propose a draw by mutual agreement. I know this sounds premature, but let me explain my thought process.
I am sure at this point, that I can’t win the game anymore. Even if I can achieve a shape like this in the upper-left
… the stone at A9 can be captured if le_4TC and Vsotvep cooperate. This means that, if I have the most territory at the end, they will surely capture me.
This is why I’m convinced that the best outcome I can hope for is a draw by mutual agreement. Of course if I’m the only person who votes for draw, that won’t do anything. So if I want to play this game seriously, I have to try and convince the other players that a draw is not a bad result for them. And I believe that my best chance of doing so is now, while there is still a bit of unclaimed area on the board. Otherwise I might not be able to hand you the following ultimatum:
I am going to vote for DRAW from now on. I believe that Haze is also fine with a draw and will do the same. My actions after the next round will depend on who votes for a draw (note that the draw votes will get revealed):
1.) If Vsotvep votes for draw but le_4TC doesn’t, I will work together with Vsotvep and Haze and try to capture le_4TC, which should be doable considering that le_4TC has only 3 eyes.
Edit: I should add that, in this case, le_4TC cannot eliminate Haze as long as neither I nor Vsotvep fills the liberties of E8.
2.) If le_4TC votes for draw but Vsotvep does not, I will cooperate with le_4TC. If I lose I have no preference as to who wins, right?
3.) If neither Vsotvep nor le_4TC votes for draw, I will cooperate with le_4TC as well.
I hope you don’t see this as disrespectful. Since this is a diplomatic go game, I figured that this kind of ultimatum is ok.
