The Game That Really Matters - PBEM 50 Banter Thread

[SevenSpirits]

You chose wrong. There can be only one Gaul in this game.

[Ichabod]

You are all a bunch of cowards who need to let the traits play the game for you. Why couldn't you have chosen Gengis Khan or Alexander? You are not brave enough for it, huh?

For once, I'll let you chickens repick your leader and choose Gengis instead. But only this time.

[Thoth]

Is that offer to repick as KHAAAAAAHN! still open? :cute:

He did actually receive serious consideration.




































(not least because it would give me and excuse to post KHAAAAAAAAN! at every possible opportunity)

Hey, cloak and dagger is not allowed in this game. People already spoiled my techs on the Tech Thread, so I hope it was the last of it.

[Krill]

You guys timed this to fucking perfection.

I get the save 2 hours after I submit my essay and I'm drunk.

If Serdoa's C&D continues to be as accurate as it was last turn, I encourage him to keep it up.

Also, I'm feeling a bit lazy so could you guys please post your C&D stuff here so I don't have to do my own. Thanks.

SevenSpirits's C&D department, t1 notes:

* Through careful GNP analysis of research options, I have determined that Zara Yaqob has researched Mysticism. What a noob!
* No one (with hunting) settled on a deer tile.
* Thoth is mysteriously still in the game despite his terrible leader/civ pick.

Kyan, thanks for the caring message, but no, I'm not drunk. And I'm not hungover either

Haha. That's disappointing

I'll just have to hope you cocked up the first turn to epic proportions then!

Opponent Analysis:

SevenSpirits: Seven is probably the best player in this site. The best in using the "coattail-ride to victory" strategy, that is. Seven has managed to achieve victory on other players expenses in an astounding fashion, with an incredible capacity of really picking the winners of each game. It has done it with Novice (several times), Mackoti (several times), Lewwyn (PBEM19) and myself (PB 10, ongoing en route to victory). Now, he tries to fly solo for the first time. From what I've seen in his play on PB10, I have nothing to worry about.

He also has the tendency of making barely understanble posts on the forums, which isn't a good sign.

Threat level: Low.

Krill: Fairly unknown player. He played on some low key games, not gonna bother to check that out. Looks like a forum spammer, rather than a good player. Maybe if some good player takes pity to ded-lurk (e.s. play the game for him), he can be something else than a non-factor (i.e. a fairly-irrelevant-factor).

Threat level: Low.

Serdoa: Can someone say Stonehenge first at Capital? Serdoa never quite quit his single player games on chieftan difficulty, because he keeps on building every wonder on the game on the way to certain failure. Never updates, so can't have that good of a look on his play. His participation would likely be the following, on the Events tab:

*Serdoa has built Stonehenge (on turn 15)
*Serdoa has built The Pyramids
*You have captured "Non-named-Capital (Serdoa)

Threat level: Low

Kyan: a diplomat on a AW game? Yeah, right. Poor guy will take quite a stomp having no NAPs to hide behind. The Diplomacy forum is over there, pal --->. Go there and let the big boys here play serious games, not sympathy contests.

Threat level: Low.

Thoth: FFH noob. Nuff said.

Threat level: Low.

Seems like I'll win this handily.
