But from a messing with my opponents sense? Absolutely! Ljubljana took two days and a million posts to choose a pantheon. And he went with one that is pretty terrible apart from racing for religion - and I'm the only person with a HS down. So he's so damn afraid of me getting a pick before him that he'll torpedo his own pantheon choice over it. That, in turn, means that if he sees this project - which already had been invested in - he'll panic. He'll assume I intend to run more, because why run one unless I was racing him? And that, in turn, will warp his own decision making. He'll accept compromises in other areas, twist his own gameplan, in order to respond to me.
Hahaha, I haven't finished reading through your thread yet, but I have to admit, specifically trying to mess with me was
not on my radar for possible reasons for your project build. And your read on me psychologically was totally on point, my panic in response to this completely derailed my game. GG, and I apologize explicitly for all the salt from me at around this point, which it sounds like was more or less exactly your intended reaction
