I can beat that. I never heard about BTS nor Spanish Inquisition.
Epic won.

I too was not expecting the Spanish Inquisition to come up.
However: I don't get what's so complicated about the spoiler rules. See rule 1 of the tournament rules:
Quote:1. Rule Number One: ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS!!!
Do not mention anything about your personal game results to anybody else, in public or in private, until Closing Day arrives. This is the foundation of the Epics culture and traditions.
When everyone plays in isolation, the competition is as fair as it can be. Not knowing what your competitors have chosen to do, or anything about their results, preserves the hope and the uncertainty right up to report time, and ensures that all participants will be at the peak of their interest levels during the same time window. This rule has served us very well through fifty Civ3 Epics. We ask you to honor it closely.
...
Also, if that's too fine a line, rule 11 clears up any ambiguities:
Quote:11. Absolutely No Spoilers!!! (This one is so important, we mention it twice. If you violate this one, you're breaking two rules!)
Seems fairly simple to me. Yet it's broken in practically every event we have by multiple people. Maybe the game info pages all need links to the tournament rules page?

Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Our TWO chief weapons are surprise, fear, and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope. Our THREE chief weapons... never mind.

Reading the excellent reports from epic 17 finally pushed me over the edge... playing as honorable Abe now. Hopefully I'll be able to put together a coherent report
And, of course, a big thanks to Sullla, Sirian, and the rest of the RBciv community
