just a random comment from an occasional lurker at RB (found you from CFC a while back).
i spent a (much too late) night and this morning reading thru the successful and some not-so-successful Epic 4 results. all i can say is WOW. ok i fibbed, i rarely say that little.
that is amazing stuff. seeing the different strategies, the completely different ways the AI situations turned out (depending on founding religions among other things), the different approaches of the players, was so interesting to this never-even-tried-emperor (and only raging barbs when i think i can get the great wall in warlords!) player.
i really wanted to post a thank you for the entertainment and education i got from that. fascinating learning from your stuff, and i so appreciate the time that sirian spent setting up the event, and that you guys spent writing up your reports. i know you're going thru (an understandable) lull atm and just wanted to show appreciation, and let you know that some folks lurk even during these times and get useful and fun stuff from it.
wow, fascinating, empathy for incredible frustration, astonishment at the persistence of some players, and "oh wow great idea even i can apply to my much lower, very different games" all ran thru my head so often.
so, here is a completely random thank you.
