IKR, had to have the stream muted and open on my second monitor during meetings.
Right?! While id love to watch the stream live, its a little bit hard to do that while walking around all day.
"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow. In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."

As a European, I find the time of the stream perfect (*).
But most importantly, Sullla does this during his off day, while his wife is working.
He just might want to spend his evening and week-end with her, rather than streaming, you know.
(*) Not that it matters in my case, since I never watch it live.
I stopped watching live TV more than 10 years ago, I'm not going to start watching live streams any time soon.

Unfortunately there's no time that I can run the AI Survivor games which will work for everyone. I'm on the east coast of North America and I do have to pick a time that works for me. Any earlier in the day and the time will be bad for those on the west coast; any later and the time will be too late for those in Europe. Pretty much any time that I choose is going to be bad for east/south Asia and Australia simply because I'm on the complete opposite side of the world. I've picked Fridays at noon my local time because it's viable for most of the potential viewers and also fits into my personal schedule. AI Survivor eats up a full day with all of the setup, running the game, and then doing the post-game planning for the next match. As Wyatan said, I'd rather use my day off work for that as opposed to killing every single Saturday or Sunday for 3 months on end and not getting time to spend with the rest of my family. For that matter, I have run some of the AI Survivor games on Saturdays occasionally and the number of people watching has never been any higher. Some people could watch on Saturday who couldn't watch on Friday, and some people weren't able to watch who normally were able to. I'd love to schedule at a time that was perfect for everyone but it's just not possible in the real world.

Thanks for taking the time to run these games, Sullla! I am enjoying season five a lot so far, even if my picks have (somehow!) done even worse than last season.

Was this last game the single best performance by any German ever?

For the record, I'm in central Europe and I'd be happy to have the streams start 2-3 hours later so I could watch them live when the kids are in bed. Would probably be worse for the Russians though, and of course the most important thing is that it's minimal trouble for you.

It's neat how many of the advancing leaders are from the seeded pools. Should lead to some stacked playoffs if it keeps up.

Frederick somehow reached the wildcard in Season One despite being squeezed by competitive neighbors.
Otherwise, pretty much, yeah.

@ Wyatan, the Suleiman situation was exactly why I thought Caesar would win it. He'd eat his Turkish neighbour with Praets before turning on the Furor Tutobergensis. Pity Friedrich channelled his inner Hermann this game.
