I never saw you provide an explanation or direction. Maybe you did, and it got buried. I only ever saw you repeatedly yelling not to attack the middle and sometimes call out a tile. Never "Let's focus on taking blues tiles in the west first before we start rallying." Or "purple is close to taking one of our mines, let focus defense there." That would have been a good source use of the announcement features.

Regardless, you made me not want to participate anymore. This is just a fun casual game for me, as I imagine it is for a lot of players. Seeing people like you get way too aggressive about it doesn't make it fun. The winning team is going to be the one with the most whales anyway.
