Maybe TBS is also just letting him do his thing and learn while taking it with a grain of salt. I'm sure faulty C&D can be worse than none.
E.g. he has Commodore on:
Becko Wrote:Commodore: Started with Fishing and Mining. Got Agri T9, Hunting T14, BW T27, AH T37. Again, Wheel?
But Wheel is actually what he got on T37. And that's the kind of "knowledge" that could get really dangerous if they start leaning on it.

agreed on 'dangerous', but TBS is of the 'play by feel' mold and he'll be ok.

Chariot rushing Zulu. I'm guessing this means Thoth and Pindicator both are going to be out of it - Thoth will have copper by the time Pindicator shows, but 7 chariots on his border that early ought to at least manage one city. Thoth probably shouldn't have been this aggressive.
Unless I'm underestimating Pindicator, anyway. Maybe archers will be able to bridge to copper units, and then superior production (due to the city-raze) will tell.
I'm definitely looking forward to watching, though

Oh Ilios, why did you have to tell him?

And another wave to be chopped out shortly after. I'd actually feel pretty good about success if I can get 8 chariots at him in that timeframe.
Until I see a spear, of course

I don't think he has Bronze yet. If his tech path was Hunting, Ag, AH, wheel, BW (the timing of his score increases and initial expansion indicate that tech path) then he should be getting BW either eot 41 or 42. If I've misread the timing of his score increases or overestimated his tech rate he may be about to land Buddhism either sans BW or sans Wheel.
I'm considering the viability of an Impi rush. No need to commit one way or the other for a few turns yet.

This seems the relevant bit, to me:
(May 11th, 2014, 19:06)Thoth Wrote: I'll whip another settler t48 from Fall to settle my copper site t50 (copper mined and roaded t51)
That gives him copper the turn before Pindicator shows up with his stack (er, assuming no change of plans). Which seems like 1 Impi in his border city, not enough to stop 7 chariots. Then he ought to manage 2-4 more in whichever city is next, which ought to stop the surviving chariots.
I don't know what to suggest to Pindicator regarding the pointing out of the obvious. I don't suppose Ilios has only lurked him so far?

Ilios has posted in at least TBS's thread, so he is a global lurker.

After Gaspar's latest map criticism I was going to post in his thread asking if I'm still banned but whatever.  Krill, I think your response was good. Express doubt as to his veracity without igniting a powderkeg. For post game, no, this game wouldn't be any trouble to administer up until the moment it had a dispute. At that point a couple people here might make things difficult and I'm not looking for that experience again right now.

Easy for me to agree, I'm already not posting there.
Oh, here's an idea that involves coercion and abuse of admin powers. I could lock his thread until he promises to give us the lists we want. No one would object to that I'm sure! Who's with me?
