[No Players] Where the Lurkers Take Their Holidays

[Gavagai]

The real problem with nuclear warfare is not that nukes are in any way broken objectively but that any fighting involving them is incredibly tactically complex in a way some people (me) absolutely hate. Spending hours each turn just on anti-nuke unit positioning is hardly a fun thing to do.

[Tarkeel]

I concede to Mjmd.

That's actually the first open concession, despite SD talking as if he already has conceded. Nauf seems pretty resigned as well, and Ljub is.. trying to have his cake and eat it too?

[El Grillo]

I don't think Ljubljana has made up his mind, but sounds like he would not be averse to the game ending?

EDIT: Called it!

to be honest, right now at this moment, i kinda want the game to be over

[Tarkeel]

I'd like Ljub in particular and preferably also Nauf to be slightly more direct about wanting this to be over before calling it.

[Tarkeel]

sd is MAD..... maybe mad at us ("1500postzululol").... not unjustifiably so of course.

I think these city names are well into abusing city names for diplomacy.

[Chevalier Mal Fet]

Agreed. SD is extremely tilted, understandably so, but still. C'mon.

[El Grillo]

ICBMs hitting Great People and National Wonders is probably a bit too punishing from a player morale perspective. But this also highlights Mjmd's edge in experience with the late game from PB66 and other games, recognizing that Kremlin + Cristo Redentor whips is a decisive advantage in ICBM production, especially combined with corporations.

[Gavagai]

I disagree whipping ICBMs is a good idea, even with Kremlin and corps. Mjmd is only getting away with this because there is no other even remotely equal power able to challenge him. I really don't want this game to serve as a case study of ICBM efficiency.

[Tarkeel]

It doesn't feel right posting this in Ljub's thread, but I'm pretty sure he's not aware that forts can also house aircraft.

[El Grillo]

Civac, SD, and ljubljana have explicitly conceded, but I checked naufragar’s thread and he has not, though I don’t think he is in doubt about the outcome. Should someone nudge him?
