[PLAYERS DO NOT ENTER] Lurkers thread, where lurkers are making fun of the players

[plako]

Master&Margarita - Maga runs the diplo show while Slaze manages the diplomacy.

There may be a contradiction here...

Someone actually read that message . Anyone else up to predict what will happen?

[Krill]

The game gets called by T250 after people fuck about.

Also, are there any game types where "You first pick Pacal" aren't generally true? (Other than OCC, obviously, and if you are picking to have the "strongest" pairing).

[Krill]

RB "greens" > the CFC rabble.

Remember, these aren't CFCs best players, unless ou consider the Maga/Jozan/Slaze team to be made if CFC players. I don't think, honestly, that any of CFC's best players play mp. CFC has a whole tier that does stuff that still drops my jaw. Give them an interest in mp and a little experience, and there are only a few people that I'd bet against them.

I dunno if I'd call the best players on CFC the rabble, but I think the problem is that the skill set those players have doesn't really translate amazingly well to MP.

João in an Always Peace game like the one where Lewwyn won (huge map, low difficulty?)?

[Krill]

Even then, commerce is a limiting factor for Joao, it's actually really easy to go bankrupt even on flat/huge/noble (I played in PBEM5B which was a more simplified version of that game BTW). I don't think Pacal is strictly worse.

Predictions;
Cannibal Pony will completely screw up their picks and get eliminated first.
Whoever gobbles up Cannibal Pony will find themselves on the wrong end of a dogpile.
Care Bears do nothing diplomacy wise leaving them friendless and vulnerable.
At least 2 teams play to the exact letter of the rules, pissing off each other in the process but remaining blissfully unaware of their hypocrisy.
Dick76 never shows up.
LP builds more wonders than anyone else.
The game lasts beyond 150 turns.

[Bigger]

my prediction: 1 or less teams is reporting regularly after turn 75, so we will never know how the game ends

[Fintourist]

Were there bans? Or is this a no-Pacal example?

[Krill]

No bans, and I gave up the option of Pacal of Inca. I think it's interesting to see the different choices that both sets of players make.
