The combination of Dtay and Commodore dicking around and Xenu's decision to not place stone/marble let Joao land Stonehenge, which pretty much makes him Joao of Inca with Keshiks and Gers. Of the three wonders landed so far, it was clearly the strongest play. He's added to that by expanding well and building up a scary power number. If you were to tell me that TBS wins this game in the long run I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. He's certainly the player in this game most likely to make tier 3 or better in a future Tier List and his play thus far has shown us that day might be upon us already. I think there's a fairly solid chance that we eventually end up at war with him seriously and its certainly a scenario I don't look forward to. We'll see if he can keep the focus through the Medieval-early Ren Eras, which are the area where I think its easiest to lose focus chasing too many rabbits. If so, he's got the best chance of winning this thing if Thoth slips up. I believe he landed circumnavigation and certainly with creative canal usage, that can be a huge military edge in the later game.
You're still talking about tier lists?! 
So, 2013...
I guess it should be expected from this old and decrepit player.
I'm off to TBS' thread, where I can read the analysis of a tier 3 player... After that, I'll play some Civ 4 on Steamworks...

If you ever wonder why I just bait you with bullshit not a single one of those replies asked me to expound upon my thoughts on the game. 
Also Ichabod is definitely working hard on moving up in the Tier List. 
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Logged in quickly, TBS didn't attack our chariot. Are we sure TBS isn't a smurf, btw?
Commodore landed Colossus as expected and is now only 1 behind us on city count. I poked around some other stuff and executed a few obvious things but otherwise left the rest for later.

Hey, I told you that you needed the "likelihood to be Sulla" ratings. Not that he's likely to be Sulla, of course.
Remember Commodore puts too much emphasis on city count.

Frankly TBS is too good to be a smurf, which limits who could actually be playing it. It isn't one of mack, Seven, novice or myself. Is there anyone else you'd actually care if it was?

Honestly, he spends a lot of time logged in and plays the turns in parcels and doesn't like to end turn. Reminds me of Sullla and Parkin, which is what made me make the comment. I'm about 99% sure he's not Sullla but he could be Parkin. He could be someone else or he could be legitimately a new player. It doesn't really matter other than fuck smurfs.
Now in fairness, Lewwyn and I spend a lot of time logged in and play the turn in parcels but that's pretty much everything to do with him being in China and me being in the US which makes for awkward teaming. If I were playing solo or with a local teammate, that wouldn't happen.
Frankly, I just find it irrationally irritating.

Parkin is the super-sub in PB18...and TBS is playing in PB18, so I seriously doubt they are the same person.
