The IceCream Man? Is there some wonderful theme to follow that that's hinting towards? :D

[retep]

Brick you have post more in my thread than myself!
Sadly there is no theme, I just really really like ice cream. However since you are the only one to post in these soon to be awesome thread, you can choose any name theme that you want and I do it. Of course only if you want.

[retep]

Although I was thinking giving some love to PB11 since I already here why no talk about the game, right?
Of course I have to start with an introduction of myself and the obligatory ranking of my opponents.

Let's talk about me, I have little to non experience in MP, I haven't never play this mod neither. Yeah not even SP games, hell I didn't even know this mod exist seven days ago. But I'm a fast learner so I already know what I have to do to win. Build more cities, take other people cities, profit.

Now the ranking. Well surprise is not really a ranking. I'll do one around turn 85, like in PB11, when I actually have an idea of how people are doing.
This is mostly just fun random guesses with no logic whatsoever!

Ichabod/Wetbandit: Shaka of Greece
This guys are going to have one of the funniest threads, who cares about the game is all about having fun.

dtay: Alexander of Germany
The new guy and mi ex-partner. This guy will win. No discucion need it I just feel it inside.

Plako: Ragnar of Maya
Plako as the former champion and a great player will be attack earlier by someone, I mean this has to happen otherwise it would not be plako.

retep: Sitting Bull of Khmer
I'll tell somenthing that nobody knows about this guy. His name is Peter! About the game? who cares, his name is Pedro!

Jowy: Pacal of India
Jowy will play his game thinking that his awesome but krill will destroy him in the lurker thread.

Slowcheetah: Ramesses of Mongolia
He will start in the center of the map to balance PB8. No hard feelings slow, is just Karma.

mostly_harmless: Qin Shi Huang of Sumeria
He would have the worst start ever. This would lead to him going to war earlier.

Azza: Joao of Dutch
Azza will try to play a very cautious game, trying to change his fame, but sadly his destiny has been seal and he would start with no strategic resources so he would have to settler agresive towards someone.

Pindicator/scooter: Darius of Vikings
This guys will win the post count. Which is of course the real reason why we are playing this game anyway.

Nakor/CFCJesterfool: Wang Kon of Rome
This a deity guy, right? This dude is annoying is always deity with him. I mean he probably go to a cafeteria and order a breakfast deity style.

Fintourist/Old Harry: Montezuma of Babylon
This guys are awesome, Barney Stinson level of awesomeness. At first I wanted to play with this guys but then I though that doing that will break the game because we will be too strong. Anyway they will definitely ended in the top five.
Plus do you know the have a Fin guy there?

Commodore/Kurumi: Victoria of Portugal
Early Rush. Thats all.

Bacchus: Suryavarman of Carthage
Everything that I read his name I got thirsty, why? The explanation is too long so whatever. I think this the guy with the bunch od dedlurkers. Kinda unfair since I never have one Just for that he would finish LAST.

WilliamLP: Isabella of Inca
At the end of this game we will found the true. WillianLP is not Lord Parkin is T-Hakw!!!

Yuris: Mehmed of Ottomans
Yuris won't update his thread and we will never know how he play this. Wait, I think that fits me better.

Serdoa: Mansa Musa of America
Seven Serdoa. Is seven times the fun.Seven times the difficulty. Seven times the chance to be dogpilled. Seven wars. Seven luxuries. Seven days without reports. Seven place.

Bigger/Lewwyn: Gandhi of China
The will be the first ones to call for a concesion. Oh the irony.

suttree: Huayna Capac of Spain
To tired at this point, sorry suttree. You can blame Brick for put you last in his list in the IT thread.

The Brickmaker
Everyone will hate Brick. This is a fact.

WARMING

I like to complain about everything so I'm going to complain a lot in this topic. Most of this complains (if not all) are not to be taken seriously is just my messed personality, you have been warned.

Copy/paste for PB11 FTW!

[retep]

Now about my leader/civ. Well I kinda sucks to be honest. I can't remember for the life of me why I pick this.
Fast granaries, fast universities, better archers, weaker WE, bulbs. That is all I got.
Can I win with this? Sure, because lets be honest here in the end all this game is about luck.
I try to explain.

Imaging that I start surrounded by Plako, Serdoa and Bacchus. My odds of winning will be around 4%.
But if I start next to WilliandLP and Nakor, then my odds will be 50 %.
Last if I start next to Jowy and Azza my odds will be 60%
Now imaging this. Commodore, Pindicooter and Plako all are neighbors and Serdoa is neighbor of Jowy and Azza. Who do you think will win that game? Serdoa will just eat Jowy and Azza while the others keep each others at the same level.

See? The most important thing is who are you neighbors. The second most important thing is your location in the map. In a cylindrical map if you start in the center you are kinda scrub, because you are surrounded by enemies. In the other hand If you start in a "corner" you will have one of two enemies and a safe back line. The third thing you need is a good ability to read the game and play making almost no mistakes. Fourth you need a good starting location for your capital. And the last thing the matters is your leader/civ.

[BRickAstley]

Well since you mentioned Barney Stinson you should do plays from The Playbook for your cities? there should be a link somewhere...
