@Seraiel:
First of all, we had the "Mylene cheats" discussion already, when someone digged out the log of her games out in a thread where i posted a save, and that she played to actually show it was winable (which i doubted; to make it short, it was an awful start to say the least).
Furthermore, every time someone states something like "this is a incredible streak of luck" the underlying message is "that person did something to force this kind of luck". Even if you argue that this wasn't what you were trying to say, be aware that this is how it is read. I've played alot of online games and have been active in alot of forums, and trust me: this kind of message "between the lines" always has been used in this very special kind of way. If this wasn't your intention, you will still have to deal with how it's understood. Just like you can not say you love someone, when what you're trying to say is that you just like that person. Think you got my point...
With so many battles won, it's pretty save to say that she actually did something to even get that far. It's not like she just had sheer luck out of nowhere. And in this regard a streak of luck differs alot from things like favourable starts or an easy map layout - the latter gets thrown at you no matter what you do. But to get such a lucky winning streak, you HAVE TO FIGHT. You have to make the decision to rush with HAs, you have build up the army, you have to pick your target and everything else. This is very different from a favourable start.
One thing you didn't consider - if Mylene had lost some of the battles she won with low odds, would she still have been able to take the city? Would she had have backup units to take the city? Or where those won battles gamebreaking in the "when i don't take the city this turn, the AI will reinforce it and the game is almost lost because ..." way?
Yes, those luckstreaks make things alot easier, but they do not win you games most of the time.
Last but not least - she is not my friend, neither am i her friend. I like and appreciate her just like i appreciate other people in the forum that i learned from or whom i had an interesting discussion with, like Dirk. There was a time when Gwaja reanimated the civfanatics IRC chat, and Mylene, Dirk, TMIT, some other folks and me used to hang out there for a few days - but that's about it. Yes, i care somewhat more for her than i care for people from the forums that i know less, but we're far from being friends. Which is sad, but true.
Frankly speaking, i'm not too happy that i have to spell all that out, but i somehow feel i'm forced to do so. And now, please, would you let it go... there's no conspiracy of players protecting each other or a certain way to play Civ4.
