1. He's got two rivals in the west poised to take Gurton Buster the minute he empties it and its a pretty good city that he can actually hold
2. He's falling back to make a stand in the east, letting hard-to-defend cities go (judging from TBS's latest pic it won't be that much of a stand, but its still better than letting his army get eaten bit by bit)
3. Transferring the units from GB to the east would take longer than he's got
4. That's geopolitics in an FFA for you, if you want to do something about it attack TBS and give him something else to think about

I prefer this explanation to the other theory doing the rounds, but who knows which is right?

I think I agree, but I also think that Oxy is probably taking the path of least resistance here... I don't think its anything in particular to this game though, as he's been pretty inactive in other games, too. (e.g. he's missed several turns of PB18, even back when his civ was still #1 on the scorechart). Something goin' on with him I think...

Shameless self quote:

Quote:After looking at this I firmly believe that after the bans and after seeing the start, Joao of Mongolia is the best combination to be had. Maybe you can make a case for Zulu instead. But Hunting and Pottery are both needed techs here, and Joao can get a ridiculously fast 2nd city down along with a pasture and connecting roads. And it was really tempting to put that as my top pick, but I really would like to play with Numids, so I think I have to go with Carthage. Fun over function, that's the motto here.

I was wrong about the formula, though. Function > Fun for winning games

Haven't you seen his avatar?

Also, it's good to have doom-Gaspar back, I was worried about that happy kick he went on.

Both Commodore and Gaspar have conceded, so what's the process from here? Get Thoth to report somehow?

Yeah - but without being so obvious as to cause the concession if he's not already feeling it.
