Lesser-known than the Monty Hall problem, the Krill problem. There are three spoilers. You look at one, and it's a sick burn. Krill then reveals another spoiler for you, and get this - he always chooses one that has a sick burn in it. Ouch! You now have the option to switch from your initial choice to the third, unknown spoiler. If you do, it will also be revealed to have a sick burn in it. Next time you shouldn't have been Darrell.
The Krill problem has confounded mathematicians for centuries. How can the chances of being burned be the same if you switch as if stay with your initial choice? Shouldn't you have better odds because of conditional probability or some bullshit? I mean seriously, you've already seen the contents of the initial spoiler.

Yeah, but sexual insults aren't exactly difficult, interesting or funny.

It's easier when you don't have the mental capacity of a Playboy bunny.

If you're always such a jerkoff you must value your bandana highly.
I have to run.

t127:
Turns out that score decrease 35 minutes after the city capture was him razing the city. I can tell because Mike, er, Yuris, now has "you razed one of our cities" against Gaspar.
I offered peace to Yuris in exchange for his map. Mike declined this but I'll try again just in case. Probably doesn't hurt to make diplo contact with the new player, regardless.
I also re-offered straight OB to Kuro. It would help him I think, and I don't think it would make a difference to me.
I offered a banana to Gaspar for fun.
And I reworked the forge + NE + GP micro in Night Watch to be one turn faster. This could potentially give 1t faster Taj down the line, though that relies on the earlier GA accelerating Nationalism by a turn. But it also gives us the information (engineer or not) sooner, which is worth it even if we don't accelerate anything else. We'll have 18.75% chance of engineer.
