Gaspar, Lewwyn, et al go full Sartre

I guess I should have indicated I was more interested in the opinions of the unbiased dedlurkers.

[spacetyrantxenu]

I think your dedlurkers are going to be more biased than the global lurkers. Dedlurkers have a handicap in that they'll have to provide opinions that are more or less useful to the development of your civ. This leaves out a whole range of (terrible but bloody) options you may have never considered if you only allow useful opinions in.

For example, you could declare war on everyone and try to kill anything that moves. Probably wouldn't work out well for you but you can't get that kind of advice from a mere dedlurker.

Free your mind! (Kill everything!)

I want n insult of my mapmaking abilities too! I could have sworn I had made a map you had played on before, I guess not though.

To give any real help, I'd probably need to log in. If I get a chance, I'll do that later today (without moving things this time). Are you observing any timer splits?

No, not at the moment. Feel free to poke around and not send any units on goto anywhere.

[Mardoc]

Don't think I've ever made a map for you, but I've done a few. You paying enough attention to FFH games to give me a tile?

Yuri just played a 4 minute turn. I think maybe this makes my decision for me.

Pretty quiet turn on our end. The biggest news was on civstats:




Dtay recaptured Samus from Thoth, and then lost Diddy Kong to Commodore. I don't know where Diddy Kong is, unfortunately. But here's a look around dtay's territory now that I finally got a unit there to explore.




Sure looks like dtay is defending harder against Thoth than Commodore. Annoying.

Since there's not a lot interesting going on... I mentioned that my whole army was tied down on TBS borders. Here's an idea of the scope of that:




Yep, 21 units in that city. Here's the other border city:




14 in this mediocre dump.

Anyway, that's the current situation.




Let's take Taj out of the equation BTW - TBS is on Liberalism right now - that won't end the game, but it definitely puts the rest of us on a timer. Unfortunately, I think I'm the neighbor in best position to hurt him and I'm in no position to hurt him.

[Gaspar]

FWIW, I think I really should just rename this thread thusly:

Gaspar, Lewwyn, et al: Hell is Other People.

Because the amount of fun I have this game is inversely correlated to the amount of time I spend thinking about my opponents.

[novice]

How about: "Gaspar is his own worst opponent"?

Although your suggestion works, too.
