(NO PLAYERS) Lurker Thread

[Kaiser]

GM can 3 turn nuclear warheads and 5 turn the manhatten project, Woden is winning this game with 99% chance, which was the reason I did not betry Ichabod as his position would have been too strong when he would have conquered Ichabod.

His should skyrocket past Suboptimal as well, I still need to check their threads but if Suboptimal does not win in the next 20 turns he will get obliterated

[Woden]

Clicked on a link in another thread that referenced an early post in CMF/williams482 game thread. Started reading the post before I realized what I was looking at then immediately exited. No harm since it was a post for turn 5 and no immediate relevance to the current game state.

You know, we do have a military engineer with nothing super urgent to do (although there are plenty of other places in Canada that would benefit from railroads).

I loaded up the save to check on alliance timing. Our DoF with Woden happened on turn 218, meaning he can attack us on t248 as we expected. Suboptimal and Woden signed an alliance on turn 216, meaning they can fight each other on t246. 246 is indeed a smaller number than 248.

I think Woden might actually be considering that. Now, does us placing railroads for him make that more or less likely?

oh please let this actually happen . It shouldn't change Woden's calculus much in terms of how easy the attack is...but it seems like Woden's main reason for killing sub rather than CMF is that Canada deserves to survive to the end for the great game they've made of that horrible start and the very tricky "let's play Canada" variant they've been playing. That is a point that this funny bit of geopolitics actually does reinforce, so maybe in that sense it would make Woden somewhat less likely to attack .

Woden won this game the minute ichabod sided with him. The end game should make for good viewing i suppose.

He may have won anyway but it would have been closer if Ichabod had taken on Woden with Kaiser. Hell Suboptimal should have thrown in with them.

[ljubljana]

Agreed. Lurkers, consider our concession revoked until

A) Suboptimal loses a city, or
B) Woden declares war on us, or
C) We stop being smartasses

Thank goodness for this . Can you imagine if this game ended now, with sub conceding right before the war? What a buzzkill that would have been - I just want to see one more turn...

...although I'm not actually sure if Ichabod has conceded yet - a cursory control-F in the last few pages of their thread hasn't turned anything up.

[roland of gilead]

Definitely and i want video too.

Could anyone tell me why all my quote end up with a huge mess while I am just hitting 'reply' and just add '+1' in a separate line

(any editing is making it worse of course)

It seems that the forum software is parsing the wrong kind of code, delete everything with <> brackets, or change the brackets into [] if you're trying to make effects.
