[Spoilers] Old Human Tourist: Empress of Azteca

[retep]

Also, lets test retep a bit more: Who is going to land the mids by t100?

Not sure if you are jooking but just in case in spoilers

Plako or Novice

If you want to know how I guess here are the steps:

First how do you know someone is building the wonder:
-People that overexpand and can't tech anymore will try for Mids to get out of the ecnonomic crash.
-Stone/Marble seems plentiful even if contested.
-Wonder are falling later then normal because people don't want to make big risk earlier but now someone will take the bet in order to end on top.
Now how to guess who is going for it:
- There are 33 players. from there you take away the ones you know for sure are not going for the wonder:
Finharry (lurking) Pindicator(win war recently) Barry (lost war) CH (at war) Whosit (at war) Mardoc (build up) Azza (Build up).
-Who isn't playing his turn regularity for the past 20t.
Hashoosh, Darrell, Caledorn, Qqqqqqq, Bacchus
-Eliminated the lower half of the scoreboard:
Jowy,AT,Furungy,Dhal,Nakor, Molach, MYKI, HitAnyKey, wetbandit, CYneheard, daze, Ruff.
-People that already build a wonder not so long ago:
JoJo (HG), Boldy (bulb Phylo)

That leaves:
Dtay, Ball/Oxy?, TBS, Plako, Yuri, Space, Ataturk( who is Ataturk? Catwalk?) WilliamLP, Krill.

From that bunch I would put my money on Plako or Krill but I think that Plako is more likely to go for The MoM.
Krill on the other hand could easily overexpand and Novice has the skill to make the Mids pretty fast.

Awesome! Just what I was hoping for. I haven't learned my lesson yet though, so I have some quibbles:

Plako already got TGL so Mids is another big build which would stunt his growth more than I think he'd like (although he is CRE/IND so it's fully possible). I'd actually be surprised if Krill was the driving force behind going for Pyramids - he's all about early expansion normally - and they are FIN/CRE which doesn't suit a specialist economy.

Of the other contenders dtay got Oracle, so could have a forge helping and liked his wonders in PB13, BaII seems to be improving as a player, but his score is too high for them to be concentrating on Mids, TBS went down the religious line for CoL so I'd assume (hope) he's going to be late to Maths, Yuris doesn't seem to plan ahead enough, Space might I guess, Bacchus (who calls himself Ataturk just to be annoying) could, but I'm going to plump for WilliamLP to snag them. He's middle of the pack on score, so something is holding him back, he's IND/ORG (which may be why he's middle of the pack ) and he's a pretty organised player.

Obviously I really hope Azza gets them with his Maths chops, but that's looking less likely now . Does he have a lot of hammers invested anywhere Fintourist?

Interesting.
I didn't know/remember that plago got the GLH, I would also discarted then.
True about dtay but Isn't him going for the Colosus though?
Ball is already missing turns.
WilliamLP won't go for the Mids. Even if he has stone under his capital. HE is most likely for a more safe route like growing and conquering which he asume is a weak nighbour later.
Bacchus on the other hand, if he has stone he would try.
I still think than Krill is either attacking/going to attack someone with HA soon or is going for the Mids. He probably use CRE to get a "safe" border and attack the other side. Heck I might even bet he is the one with the more land.

Anyway I change my vote for Bacchus.
