Well, they changed turn players around then. Care to guess who they switched to? The 2-3 of you I already told don't get to guess. :P

(I'll post a chat shortly. It's fascinating.)

I swear, if you say Sommer or 2metra, I'll reach through this internet connection and pummel you...

hi

scooter
hey

mackoti
i seen your diplomacy didnt worked to well in ISDG

scooter
heh, nope
did the best I could, but diplo games are silly

mackoti
indeed
they are

scooter
I can think of a couple other things I could have tried, but overall I dont think there was lots I could have done differently. hard to say

mackoti
you are consideribg joining any team after rb disapear?

scooter
when the teams west of us made bad decisions IMO
I don't think so. not really interested in that game anymore

mackoti
k

scooter
hve you been following that game?

mackoti
well yes
i played for cfc

scooter
seriously??

mackoti
starting from turn 100

scooter
were you the reason they suddenly got better halfway through the game?
hahahaha
that's so funny
I can literally point out the place in time where they started playing smarter
and that was about it
did you play under a different username?
caledorn used a different name when he said who their turn player was

mackoti
bistrita

scooter
amazing

mackoti
i played 99% since then
not diplomacy
i dont like it

scooter
sorry i'm still wrapping my head around this

mackoti
but taj race was intense

scooter
this is insane.

mackoti
well i dint betrayed anyone

scooter
i couldn't figure out who on their team was good enough to do that

mackoti
they were doing very poorly when i took over
you remeber i took a 4th month break even from rb
when i returned they were at war with spanish apoliton

scooter
can I tell them this in thread? I think people will feel better to have been beaten by you and not sommerswerd
lol
who from what i heard was barely involved

mackoti
you can
yes
i played all the micro
which was rely hard
with backward civ
and the macro
diplomacy not
well iw anted an aliance with rb
most of the time
but had no succes there
now we are the third power

scooter
haha. my one regret is not pushing harder for a split the world with CFC plan, but i dobut your teammates would have gone with that

mackoti
well if you would had made a good offer
i would made that happen
you know at some point i lost leader election at 1 vote
becasue i dint vote
and i dint wanted to be the leader
but i felt and i do feel we didnt done very well going against rb
we are too backward because of that
cost us alot

scooter
yeah. i dunno, I hear you guys get our shrine in the split. I think you'll walk to victory
we offered apolyton and CP some extremely good deals that they rejected, and I think they were foolish to do so

mackoti
and some others got double land
actualy if we didnt got involved they would had remain small litle countries
and noe are superpowers

scooter
so how did they let an unknown account name take over?
well sure, but I think you guys will easily win now

mackoti
well i am realy good freined with metra
scooter

okay. so he knew you were mackoti?

mackoti
we played duels

scooter
okay

mackoti
yes he knows
and sommer
and practivcali in team happens what this 2 want

scooter
anyway
we came very, very close to 3 critical wonders. still sad about those
we were goign to oracle currency. missed by 1 turn.

mackoti
wow

scooter
missed MoM by 2T to the only team we hadn't met yet (so we could not do C&D on them)
missed taj by 1T to you guys

mackoti
well i know you coulnd beat us

scooter
painful too because we spent extraodinary effort into those
novice, seven, and noble did our early microplans which is how we got way ahead

mackoti
well i dint played at all till turn
90
i think

scooter
it was actually scary how well they did when they were all on the same team.

mackoti
or something like that
well to bad at warfare you made a big mistake

scooter
oh I know. team basically fell apart by that point for a variety of reasons so the tactical stuff didn't go very well
but it was over by that point anyway

mackoti
i think the mistake was going rifles then curaisiers
faster

scooter
I pushed for cuirs early and got ridiculed
lol

mackoti
and you already had stables
mobility

scooter
exactly
that's what I kept saying
whatever

mackoti
big mistake

scooter
"this is not a discussion, we are getting rifles"

mackoti
i was happy when i see you keeping rifles route

scooter
ooookay
yeah
i figured

mackoti

you could get curaisers
10 tursn at leas earlier

scooter
i know
which woudl have been BEFORE we died and not after
lol
by the time we got rifles it was already game over

mackoti
yep

scooter
were you the one who pushed poly to great spy bomb and steal 3 techs?
that was pretty critical

mackoti
nope
Mz plays good
and he ahd peace

scooter
yeah

mackoti
from when i returned we are at war all time man
10 turns maybe at peace
french razed best zulu city

scooter
thankfully spanish apolyton were amazingly bad lol

mackoti
you know for example taj costed us more then we gain
but was anti rn and was good
rb

scooter
right
all game long
i've been trying to figure out who on cfc was good enough to micro that. that build was flawless
we were tracking it super close obviously.
knew hammers invested every turn, etc.
and given that cfc's early dotmap/micro was bad IMO, I couldn't figure out how they went from the early shaky micro to a flawlesss taj build
and now I know

mackoti
i donr the war with zulu
i done that myself too
they wanted to atack with draftes maces
and zulu had like 20 cats

scooter
yeah had to be knights there

mackoti
well i signed once with mack
i belived you got it

scooter
huh?

mackoti
whe i joined
to the game

scooter

Death to Mackoti? lol

Well at least we know who the best player on both sites is...

Good for him. I name him Benedict Arnold, but otherwise, good job Mack. Team Mids, indeed. I do feel better about things now, oddly. And scooter, I'm guessing you feel pretty vindicated for your support for Cuirs, which in hindsight would have been better than having neither while we got carved up.

I guess there's plenty of time later for MMQB-type stuff. I'm still proud of our team's effort in this game, though perhaps next time around we should try harder to keep more of our people from becoming disinterested, however that happened (I am emphatically not placing blame on anyone here). I think the brain-drain, and WPC's ineptitude leading to our overreach, are pretty big reasons why things have turned out as they have.

Crazy. crazyeye

Not for me. I never meant it in a strictly literal sense.

I don't think that a different CFC turnplayer would have us not face a gazillion Rifles and Cuirassiers in the West, though.

Not that it matters now, but we would've dealt with the western threat differently had CFC not joined in. It's all water under the bridge now anyway.

Okay, so whatever doubt we may have had of CFC winning the game post-RB is definitely gone now.

Is it bad of me that Krill was also the name I immediately thought of upon reading the scooter's post? lol
