Adventure Two Results

[Griselda]

Adventure Two results are up. Since the last unscored game was listed A-Z, this time I decided to list results Z-A. This still leaves players like Majromax out in the cold, but it's the best I can do.

This is another game in which I get to say congrats to the AI on its second-fastest launch.

Also, thanks to Kylearan for compiling these.

No! I demand that you start with 'M', and list outwards, based on alphabetical distance!

On the actual results, I find it interesting that nobody succeeded in a warmongering victory.

Thanks for compiling the results Gris. Just one suggestion - even though Adventures One and Two were unscored, it might make more sense to sort them by date and won/loss instead of alphabetical order. For example, Civ3's Epic Four was unscored but still was sorted in this fashion: http://realmsbeyond.net/civ/epic4results.html

By all means, feel free to leave as is, but it's a little tougher to see what happened with the alphabetical list.

Hi,

even though Adventures One and Two were unscored, it might make more sense to sort them by date and won/loss instead of alphabetical order.

I disagree. If you want results to be sorted by finish date, ask Sirian for more scored games. I was already irritated by the "fastest finish" discussions for Epic 1, when it clearly said it was unscored. Had it been scored, I would have played completely different and wouldn't have decided to deliberately confine myself to the peninsula. I don't think I would have been able to beat Speaker of course, but results would have been different in any case, and others might have played differently, too. So it doesn't make any sense at all to sort unscored games by finish date, otherwise the label "unscored" itself would lose its meaning. (That people even ignored victory types when comparing dates was very silly, too...)

I know I will send the results for the next unscored RB event to Gris sorted alphabetically again, although she might decide to reorder them of course.

Well, I think that Epic Four was the last time I sorted unscored events that way. In Epic 8, I sorted them by Civilization (potluck game), and by Epic 13, it was in order of reporting. The move away from sorting by finish wasn't accidental. I moved away even from order of reporting, though, because it seemed silly to reward people for what timezone they live in, or whether they camp the reporting forum on Sunday night. So now, they're rewarded for something even more arbitrary- their usernames!

Because the game's results are still listed on the page, it's easy enough to go in and pull out relevant information, IMO (like the AI's second fastest space launch). But, I like the fact that everyone's still on the same footing as far as unscored games go. It's just that Kylearan and Majromax know they'll never end up on top.

Neither will I . Maybe I should register again with an username that gives more advantage . Besides: Congratulations to all players who tried their skills in this hard game ! I think even getting into the 20th century is a great achievement in this variant...
