So, since I'm as good as dead, can I read spoilers/lurker thread and post in the lurker thread now?

I think you should probably wait until you're actually eliminated in-game. For example, what if you get offered a peace deal?

When and if you die in game, custom has been you can read whatever you want as long as you're willing to give up the right to post as a player. The only thing you can't do is team up or otherwise advise another team, as you're spoiled with info from your time in-game.

@pindicator - Your next move is NW->NW.

Well, I have no units, whether they be workers or warriors, so it's really just a matter of anyone, human or barbarian, walking into my city and razing it. The quicker the better, as far as I'm concerned. No point prolonging my pathetic existence.

Ok, good to know.

Depends what you are offering...

I only sent it at LP because he happened to turn up where my warrior was heading.

Can you build a worker and give it to me? You can keep the one you have and I'll leave you alone for a while.

That's just what happens when your neighbor starts with mining, a terrible capital with just forests and hills, awful surrounding terrain, a 3t starting disadvantage, and huts that give only gold to upgrade warriors and a map of your capital.

Not to mention you must have got extremely fortunate with your Copper placement to even be able to pull that off. Can't be many folks who netted a Copper right in their capital's BFC. "Terrible capital"... yeah right, I'd say you got one of the best.

I gotta say, that's a nice capital.

Certainly nicer than some...

It seems Azza wants to lurk after his civ's demise, but I thought I'd check on this anyway. Exactly what is Azz spoiled on that the rest of us don't know already? He's already posted a screenshot of his land, including the relative location of Team Germany to him. What more could info could he possibly spoil that would be more significant than that?

That sounds like a fantastic deal if I ever heard one.

@Parkin - I guess this is ultimately Mist's decision. I agree on the margin a player becoming a ded-lurker or teammate is less harmful in RBP7 versus the earlier games in the series, but it's still hypothetically not harmless.

Example: Azza, unbeknownst to all, sees a unit heading towards another civ, maybe with a scout. He then joins that civ. Can we honestly say he could remain completely impartial to something like "Hey Azza, do you think I should send this worker out here unguarded?"

The point is we have no way of knowing if Azza shared everything he saw - land, units, charts, demo tracking, civstats tracking, etc.

It doesn't matter what Azza is spoiled on and isn't spoiled on that we aren't already. There is no unrefutable proof that anything Azza has said is true other than that he's dead (once he is actually dead).

Screenshots tend not to lie though - or at least it seems more effort than it's worth to fake them.

Azza, do you mind sharing details about MackSeven's remaining invasion forces after your spirited defense? They've certainly spent a lot of espionage points on me and I wonder if I'm supposed to be next.

Well I could propose a 100 turn NAP but you seem to have the monopoly on those.

2 of the 3 axemen that assaulted my ex-capital survived their respective battles, plus the axeman that killed off my scouting warrior. Given you're protective, and provided you aren't relying solely on warriors for defence, you should be fine. At least for now.
