[spoilers] Commodore is strategic in Pitboss 74

[Commodore]

Hello I’d like to dedlurk if you don’t mind, can’t guarantee any good advice but this game seems like it’ll be a lot of fun

Hey, welcome, I appreciate the sounding board if nothing else.

I'm very hopeful here, it'll be fun while it lasts. The odds of how this ends:

4% -In initial setup.
13% -In the first dozen turns as newbies fail the turnpace.
9% -In the first 80 turns with ragequits due to early warring.
19% -Around turn 150 as higher time requirements makes turn pace lag.
6% -An ill-advised CtH patch breaks things.
31% -Ugly turn order/clock shenanigans drive early concession due to disgust.
17% -Around turn 250 as tired people concede to 1-3 main front runners.
1% -An actual victory condition is met.

Let's root for the 1%.

Dope dope

Also happy to play turns here or there as needed

I feel t150 is underrated there.

I'm going with "Turn 150 clock game/turn order shenanegans"

When's the last time a game actually got played to a victory condition? I was very sad to see PB69 end the way it did, seemed like that had potential to at least go to an awesome climactic world war

PB18?

If we ignore FFH2, there's been at least one Cultural victory that I've read about.

[Commodore]

PB1 of course. And multiple PBEMs.

The last time I know of was PB43, which ended about three years ago. Unless you count Scooter's Apostolic Palace victory in PB70!
