50st place, but I wasn't going for score this time, it was fastest space ship that I was after. Didn't get it though....

Aeson finished his spacerace victory in 1470 AD

:eek: :eek: :eek:

That's absolutely amazing, fantastic job, Aeson :goodjob:.Looks like a must have savegame to download for me!
I did beat Lawrence though :D ;)

Congrats to all winners!

And the winner of the Lowest Scoring Victory is Civ_Steve.

And Phil managed to get a lower score than me :(

Guess Sulla faked all you low scorers out by turning in a game with over 8000 points. :lol:

Congrats to all that were able to participate!

Why does it show that I lost my game?

I submitted the save before my domination victory. Is there something that I did wrong with my save game?

You didn't do anything wrong... It's fixed now. :)

Looks like I got highest conquest defeat again :suicide:

Think my lowscoring game turned out pretty good. Third win from the bottom, fourth lowest score :)

Thank You for announcing me as winner of the Lowest Scoring Victory col :king: (and thanks to you and Sulla for proposing the OCC approach to the GOTM; I really enjoyed this game!! :D )

I'm surprised I had the Lowest Scoring Victory. Next time I do OCC I might not build the Sistine Chapel - that'll add about 50 turns to the game and reduce the score appropriately. (However, in GOTM XI I'm playing a "typical" game.)

Congratulations to all who finished and submitted; there were a lot of you!!

Congrats to the winners and all of the players. I didn't submit though as I had to win or lose and I decided to give up. Now on GOTM XI, I submitted yesterday.

On other topic, I finally got my GOTM IX diplo medal :D
Thx Matrix..

:D

Yes, I am the best loser :D

I didn't expect that !

Civ_Steve now has a "Philibuster Shield" for his effort, see GOTM X Philibuster Awards Posted (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32772) for a laugh.

KloRon, you have a green "Philibuster Ambalance" for your highest score defeat :cry:

Col, Don't worry about the kudos for our unofficial challenge going to me :king:, I did have to score lower than a Pom;)

Well done to all who participated......

Cultural victory in 1150AD and only 1120pts.

It lokes like there is a typo either in the date or the score, as the bonus for early victory should be higher, shouldn't it?

BTW, if there is no mistake in date, a cultural victory in 1150AD is really impressive, I want to learn how to do it as all my cultural victory (both city and civ) happened around 1900.

Jabah

BTW again, it looks like I was last (higher score - 605pts) in the low score challenge with my 'too early' 1906AD OCC cultural victory. :-)

Ribannah finished the cultural victory in 1740AD, not in 1150AD, a small mistake. I am sure Matrix will fix it soon. ;)

It was an OCC victory btw. ;)

Christ, I thought I had a decent chance to get the Spaceship medal. LOL, not even close (off by 300 years). 1470AD, that is crazy!!

Still, first GOTM attempt and victory, I'm happy with my results! :D:D:D

Umm... why am I listed as having an 8000+ point spaceship victory? I played no such game in GOTM10! The only game I played and submitted was my 581 point OCC win. I certainly have no plans ever to milk a game to 2050 again - that's an utter waste of time. So... it looks like someone made a mistake somewhere in compiling the results. I'm touched that Matrix thinks I did so well, but trust me, I didn't play any such game. :crazyeye:

Thought you'd done the classic double-cross Sullla :)
Get everyone else to score low then put in a high scoring game!

Never crossed my mind for a moment..... ;)

I was so inept that my low scoring game was too high despite unmilking to 2050....

Looks like its time for a middle scoring challenge - aka who can score what Col gets. Must be a medal for that.

@EEKthedog - How were you able to check this?
Where did you get a copy of the game from?
I thought it looked absurd myself.

Sulla, sorry about my comment above! Looks like they just posted your name beside someone else's game. [Although the 8000 points probably represents your achievement in the game you played, if the scoring system could rate efforts like that. ;)]

Thanks for that comment. :D I was able to do my game in one day, and apparently from the comments I hear around this site a number of people claim that my write-up is a "definitive OCC guide." Really? Well I seem to have gotten a number of other players to try something different in their games, and that was far more than I ever expected to do. So I rate my effort in GOTM10 as highly successful, and I don't mind the low score at all. I just hope that someone else didn't accidentally get left off the list with an 8000+ point game! :king:

KloRon,

As for highest scoring defeats, I think I beat you.
(slightly);)

Congratulation to the alain's fantastic fast finish!:goodjob:

With a 8100 point defeat "ouch thats gotta hurt" and gets you the Philibuster Green Ambulance.

:) :) :)

Seems to me that this has been one of the most successful GOTMs yet for all kind of reasons.

The number of players entering seems to go up and up with lots of new players appearing in the lists.

Phil's Filibuster awards have added a whole new sense of fun to the competition. It ain't just about the small number of people at the top who win any more.

Congrats to everybody

and especially to .:goodjob: matrix :goodjob: for all the hard work he puts in.

The results are coming out later and later and it seems to me thats its now too much for anyone to do on their own. We need a better, more streamlined and automated way of doing things.

At the same time, its clear that there are cheaters out there who need to be weeded out. We now have a GOTM Police committee who check entries and many thanks to all those who give up their time on what is largely a thankless task behind the scenes.

Finally GOTM 12 will be out soon - and yes Col managed to scrape another win in GOTM 11 but no lollypops I expect.

I am hurt :splat:
Now I'm just a loser. But fortunately you're a much bigger loser than me, Karch ;)

Golly, can't wait to have a look at his building strategy!:)
I manage to kill relatively early, but this is good!

Congratulations to all the winners! I ran the results through a formula discussed in the "GOTM Suggestion (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29420)" thread. Here are the results (http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=506613) for anyone interested.

Sorry about the fast launch Kemal. I had been playing nothing but early launch games at the time, trying to refine the 'best' dates for the formula mentioned above. I wouldn't have done nearly as well otherwise. Your's and Lawrence's launches are both very good games IMO (check out the formula to see just how good), it's a shame the early victories are hit or miss that way.

Alain's game is truely amazing. The 'base' score especially, better than a lot of much later victories (mine included :cry: ). Cartouche Bee was within a couple hundred points of a 'perfect' milking score on that map as well. Nicely done on both accounts! :goodjob:

Yet again you have DOMINATED the GOTM Field!!

AND, I believe Congrats are in order for your taking over of the #1 Position in the Hall Of Fame............Perhaps that will cause SirPleb to come out of "Retirement"!? ;)

Since when are apologies needed for playing flawless games? we both play the same game so you just did it better than me. :goodjob:

Be careful, however, because if you keep up this way I may be tempted to try and extort your "secret of refining" :scan: ;) .

Congratulation to the alain's fantastic fast finish!

thanks Serg, you was not bad too.
Maybe you can beat me in GOTM XI ??? futur will answer to this question!!

Golly, can't wait to have a look at his building strategy!

My strategy was only a few city -> temple -> barracks and after thats only chariot and horseman for an early attack...

Hi alain!
My main cities were producing the military only but other cities were building settlers and workers for cupture the map.
Did you have the early GL for FP? You leave me behind on the much time. I couldn't do this even I had the better luck.

Yeh, I did the same, but probably slowed down somewhere. I had the game wrapped up in 340AD or something. Can't remember the exact date. I also switched to knights at some stage and might have build a few more cities than needed.

I also didn't start the game without any winning strategy. This I think was maybe key to the 600 years difference.

Still would love to see where you built your cities and when you started the rush! :)

Col;

An automated system is on-the-way. Hopefully we can speed up the score processing - and the policing - at least in time for GOTM 12. :)

Sulla is listed as having won by Space Ship. Shouldn't it be Cultural? (like he said?)

And for that matter, I won in 1902AD, not 2050AD. :D

Noted. ;)
