Well, other than to say my threads are better than everyone else's.

Better at putting people to sleep.

He's serious. But, a lot of it (not all) is (believe it or not) uninteresting or redundant. You're not going to want to read thought it. But if you want to look up what tiles a particular city was working on a given turn, and read the caption (20% chance it just says "Boring."), you will be in heaven.

I...have nothing else to say. Not that surprising, really.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. That's something like 1.2k words/turn, and we've averaged better than turn/day.

Yes, I will continue to hijack this thread until Commodore gives us an update.

So basically after the game I should just Ctrl+F my name and skip the rest? lol

Some days were 5K word days.

And to be fair, it's mostly city screens to see the empire grow, because that's what I think a lot of people do wrong. It's not like the reports are aimed at Seven, in which case 98% of the report would be the word boring because there isn't anything I really have to say that is new to Seven except maybe combat tactics. Though I would say that the captions for each screen makes a new point every turn so it's not all redundant.

Well...actually, you and Dazed are called scooty (by ASM), BRick and Mist are called Mick, Ceil and Nakor got named Nazul by some enterprising individual, but rego and Pind got the best nickname out of the lot IMO: PINGO!

But yeah, Ctrl-F is your friend.

I ended up with Nakorazul/Ceilakor (no real consistency) and Regopin. Yours are much better. Though I quickly just switched to Nakor after Ceil left.

TokuZulu thread of kill all things that move: 313 posts, 10,855 views, and an author who does not technically hate baby seals but I have my suspicions.


Honestly, it's not even a contest. CHOOSE TEAM AUSTRALIA.

Hmm. Well, even if you can't keep up with Commodore's poetics, I suppose all you really need is to be better than the average thread I read around here. How does your workerless madness of a civ compare to your Tiny Indians?

Serious answer - PB5 is easily my favorite game I've played here at RB, and as a result I've put more effort into that thread than all the other ones I've kept. At least check out the two part extravaganza I did at T202. (links in spoilers so other players don't accidentally click)


The only problem: no sonnets in my thread smile. No threadjacks of this level either.

Little late to the party but if you're only going to read one PB5 thread, it should probably be the one with the most posts and most views
