To bring us back to our sporting theme, what Noble and Pindicator are trying to say is we're going deep, REX GROSSMAN STYLE.

Well, we're going with a round 2 on combo pick, so I don't see why we can't go with a round 2 on preseason awards picks!


Most posts
My bet: scooter/pindicator
Honorable Mention: Bigger/Lewwyn

Need I remind you that the last time we made a thread, it broke the record for most posts in a game thread in RB history? There will be a lot of content. There will be a lot of good content too. The ratio of good content to spammy content will be so-so at best. Which as pindicator pointed out to me, that's exactly how sports coverage works!


Most likely RBMod change to not work as advertised
My bet: Whatever trait we decide to accept
Honorable Mention: Espionage costs

There will be one, I promise.


First War Declaration
My Bet: dtay
Honorable Mention: Plako

Going with the upset choice here! What better way to kick off your first game than by declaring on the first person you meet? Make it happen dtay!


Most likely to be harshly criticized by Krill in the lurker thread for dubious reasons
My Bet: WilliamLP
Honorable Mention: Fintourist/Old Harry

All he needs to see is "LP" in order to be reduced into a frothing rage, so this should be easy. However, I could also see Fintourist/OH becoming the trendy lurker favorite, and Krill's never seen a contrarian cause he didn't like. BUT GUYS LET ME TELL YOU WHY THEY SUCK AND I WOULD TOTALLY BEAT THEM IF I HAD PLAYED.


Most likely to accidentally stay logged in for 18 hours
My Bet: Ichabod/wetbandit
Honorable Mention: Bigger

Wait, that's wetbandit and not waterbat? My bad.


Best team name
My bet: ICHABANDIT!!!
Honorable Mention: who cares

Ichabandit forever.


Most harmless
My Bet: mostly_harmless
Honorable Mention: I don't know, Yuris?

None of these are funny, but this one is the least funny out of all of them.


Most likely to discuss the finer points of playing deity difficulty
My Bet: CFCJesterFool/Nakor
Honorable Mention: Commodore being sarcastic about CFCJesterFool/Nakor


Most likely to say something that gets the lurkers all in a huff
My Bet: NobleHelium
Honorable Mention: Serdoa

I have faith in Noble to win this in a runaway.


Most likely to be a pseudonym for Sullla or something
My Bet: dtay dtay dtay
Honorable Mention: suttree

Seriously guys dtay is not new here. He's not fooling anyone. Why are we even pretending? You guys in the lurker thread might as well start trying to sleuth out who he is and report back to me.


There's your official predictions for the end-of-season awards. Check back here in 10 months to see how right I am!

I don't know, it lacks the synergy of Locke/Cervantes that has been displayed in fake accounts before, dtay just seems too styleless for it to be a sullla alt.

I'm fairly sure that at least one of those bets is invalid...

Looks like I was wrong about the quechuas, they do lose C1 but keep the archery bonus.

Yeah, Inca basically acted like they had four traits for the first 50 turns of a game. Quechua are basically AGG warriors after all, and can fight archers. No real counter until axes and that doesn't matter that much if you get choked by them.

Well last I checked you were ranting about aggressive Inca choking everyone because they counter archers, so I figured you would keep the C1 bonus but take out the archery bonus.

*shrug* 3 warriors or beakers toward a tech and 2 archers? So long as a unit is counterable how much does it matter what counters it? Interesting debate to have, just not at 2 am, so maybe later?
