[SPOILERS] Seven Russias Into the Periclous Fray

[zakalwe]

So we are more than 191% likely to see a winner?

(I guess you're counting ties as well.)

[SevenSpirits]

Yeah, I'm counting draws. But I did add up to a bigger number than I really believe. I think on average we will only get about 1.6 winners, not 1.9.

[Krill]

If the game ended now would it be a mack win, or a draw in your opinion?

[SevenSpirits]

How would the game end?

I certainly would not concede.

[Ceiliazul]

Yeah, I'm counting draws. But I did add up to a bigger number than I really believe. I think on average we will only get about 1.6 winners, not 1.9.

This suggests some research: what is the historical average number of winners in our games? I think it would be much less than 1.6, but I havent looked back at the game list to prove it.

I can think of a few games that had no winners (I'm looking at you, PB7), which will lower the average.

[Commodore]

Ichabod, everyone knows you won PB7, don't even pretend.

I don't know about games in general, but in games that I played that also had mackoti in opposition, the stats are thus:

pbem23: draw

pbem29vets: mackoti win

pbem43: mackoti and his sub both left, game called, could be interpreted as a win for me (I was very likely going to win the game, and several opponents acknowledged this) or as a draw (I advocated for calling the game because we lacked the players to continue and it was going super slow, so is it really fair for me to accept the win).

pbem47: mackoti wanted to replay a turn in which some of his moves hadn't saved, I wasn't willing to because I had subsequently taken a massively important turn in combat and foreign relations, game called as a draw.

So... lots of draws.

[Ceiliazul]

Seems to me that you and mackoti ought to duel...

Taking 40% of someone's cities is a good way to start a war.




I also got 3 workers. And 2-3 more cities should fall next turn.
