[spoilers] Commodore's 69 Techniques

[Commodore]

Insert funny or salacious joke here:


Theme is German beers, so:
Hefeweizen
Kölsch
Dunkel
Pilsner
Märzen
Bock
Doppelbock
Roggenbier
Berliner Weisse
Helles

Something I remember reading a long time ago (in the VAX computer fortune cookie file, I think?):

69 hex = 105 decimal and 105 octal = 69 decimal, which is a nice property.

That's a good one.

Kids don't use calculators much anymore, do middle school boys even know what 80,085 or 28,008 means anymore?

Really looking forward to the leader/civ matrix roll.

Map. I'm hoping for the cold end of a Dying Moosesnake:

Just about the Civ4 ideal. They're unbalanced, but natural map games really are the most entertaining.

Which game is that?

Yeah, I laughed at the thread title too. I knew somebody going somewhere with this number would be unavoidable. I was tempted to skip it up to 70 but then didn't when the request in the admin thread specifically called it 69.

Superdeath as Mansa Musa of Sumeria
Pindicator as Pacal II of Mali
Bing as Victoria of Carthage
Gavagai as De Gaulle of Rome
Magic Science as Tokugawa of Khmer
Commodore as Saladin of Germany
naufragar as Montezuma of Spain
Ginger as Joao II of Celts

Oh boy. Well, my civ is a nullity but I might be able to make something fun with Salad Tin.

Full analysis to come, but ranking just the random rolls:
1. Pacal of Mali
2. Victoria of Carthage
3. Mansa Musa of Sumer
4. DeGaulle of Rome*
5. Joao of Celts
6. Tokugawa of Khmer
7. Saladin of Germany
8. Montezuma of Spain
*Because no other Industrious present.

So Pindicator, given skill level, is far and away the favorite to win, unless Ginger or Gavagai manage to eat a hapless victim fast. Us along at the very bottom at least should be decently unpleasant to kill. I do want to look at possibly making Caste/Pacifism swaps to snap a quick Chemistry bulb into Protective Rissengarde masses if I am relevant past the knights era, but that's a long hard road on a natural map with no economy traits outside of Protective.

When was the last time someone ranked favourite pre game actually won?

Give me one last rng roll.
