[SPOILERS] Pindicator plays PBEM62 (not to be confused with Twitch Plays Civ)

[Gaspar]

Man. Everytime I look at that screenshot I say "Why would anyone want to play a game with these settings?"

[NobleHelium]

If I'm buddies with you does that make me a negative value on the "Noble Hate" scale too?

And what would me holding two separate negative values represent? A positive? I refuse to be positive, ever.

Well there's a separate scale for everyone, so the values are independent of each other and thus it doesn't mean anything to combine them. You just have an n-dimensional space where n is the number of relevant people in the universe of hate scales.

Man. Everytime I look at that screenshot I say "Why would anyone want to play a game with these settings?"

A lot of people would say that about that ridiculously huge map you guys rolled for PB19!

[NobleHelium]

Yes, and that set of people includes Gaspar.

Turn 023 Preview

Yeah, I'm ready to tilt now. Not played yet but these is the moves I want to do:



That's Commodore's scout in the southeast. So nice to see him directing everything in my direction.
I might need to delay the settler to build a warrior, though. Which means (once again) we're fucked. So let's just ruin his game because he ruined ours.

[pindicator]

What is really aggrevating is I wouldn't have even been playing in this game if someone hadn't practically begged me to sign up. So any of his reasoning in his thread about how he has to play like this because I'm "so good" is bullshit. He shouldn't have fucking harassed me to join if that was true.

[NobleHelium]

Any reasoning from Commodore is bullshit.

[spacetyrantxenu]

Noble that's a bit harsh don't you think? Not even you can believe in the categorical "any".

It's like if I said that every time you said #FuckSomething a good puppy died, wouldn't you have to reply that surely they weren't all good puppies, maybe some of them were bad puppies so they'd live, or something? Probably not a terse enough example there but in any case, absolutes don't always hold true. Except in the case where I say absolutes don't always hold true. (That's a preemptive argument).

[pindicator]

Played it and forgot to swap the settler. I guess we're building the settler and declaring war. Well, that's GG

[NobleHelium]

I make categorical "any" statements all the time. However many of them have caveats that are left implicit for rhetorical purposes, because the cases when the caveat does not apply are not relevant to the discussion. Here I mean that any reasoning from Commodore when the topic involves him is bullshit. He has a long history of bullshit reasoning when talking about things related to himself. Like for example, he can somehow argue that barracks giving culture is thematic in Krill's mod while harassing Seven about seemingly unthematic changes in his. Really dude? Of course, he does that because he feels partial ownership over the former, as Krill has accepted some of his suggestions into the mod.
