They've seen one city go legendary, but they haven't seen any more. If they don't log back in after ASM plays his turn (and assuming ASM doesn't fuck it up which is a very real possibility) then they won't know they've lost the game until T4 posts and the Post game thread is opened.

What are the actual victory mechanics, does anyone know? (Who will be the first to see the victory message?)

IIUC, once T4 hits enter, the game checks for the VC, sees that T2 has one and then throws up the text at the bottom of the screen for everyone to win.
I'm not sure if anyone gets the "One more turn..." option though, T4 might get it as they are logged in. I think if T1 logs in after the turn roll, then they just see the writing.

Assuming ASM hasn't logged in for the culture win by the time Lewwyn gets back from class, do you think Lewwyn will just go ahead and log in for the pop?

You know, this isn't remotely enjoyable  . I mean, when a team with as much MP experience as T1 fails to recognize what is happening, you know cultural victory is, to put it mildly, the road less traveled. I just feel so bad for those guys. I think team 3 figured it out as much from a lack of preconceptions as anything else. I just wish T1 had asked about the mechanic earlier so this whole situation could have been avoided.

I don't know about you, but I find schadenfreude immensely entertaining.
