We are the Champions (AI Survivor Final)

[Saxo Grammaticus]

There appeared to be a window for Ramesses to take Theology, but it was not to be.

 

[Fippy]

4 on Islam that bet wins.
4 or more AIs follow the same religion at any point: +500

 

[Saxo Grammaticus]

The Islamic bloc prevails!

 

[lymond]

ack...did not place bet on that one..oops

 

[lymond]

Not looking like 10 wars is likely

 

[Fippy]

270 turns or less will win i think.

 

[Fippy]

omg and he turns the slider off

 

[Saxo Grammaticus]

I will say, these odds were frustrating for me to parse, but they certainly bring tension to this anomalous game

 

[lymond]

No CFC winner

 

[Fippy]

Oops okay i missed the ending..no Sidney too i guess?

 

[lymond]

I did not hear her, no...

 

[NickGabben]

No, I don't think so, no woofy today...

 

[Plains-Cow]

There was zero barking.

 

[lymond]

A big woof for My though for making this fun contest!!! Really enjoyed crazy bets

 

[NickGabben]

Agreed - it was great fun throwing money down the drain (and getting my wrist slapped!!)

 

[Fippy]

Looks like we have only 2 winning picks unless you guys find something else:
- Sulla picks Darius as winner: +250
- 4 or more AIs follow the same religion at any point: +500

 

[Fippy]

1. Saxo: 103.200
2. NickGabben: 82.500
3. Keler: 17.500
4. plains-cow: 9.500
5. My: 6000
6. Lymond: 3500
7. Elmurcis: 1000 (from the special bet )
Elliot: 0
NZ: 0
Elite: 0
Nick723: 0
ManiaMuse: 0
Thrasybulos: 0
Kaitzilla: 0
Gumbo: 0

Well..with this being another blazing culture win, many other picks had little chance.
Under 270 turns or less was reeeaaaally close at +1300.

We have Saxo with gold (as expected by many) but NickGabben wasn't far behind
Keler did not win the contest but you get bronze here as comfort

As always if you find a mistake please let me know.

 

[NickGabben]

Damn, one bark away from victory...

But congrats, Saxo, well played!

 

[Saxo Grammaticus]

Yay! Not quite as exciting as my opening round finish but in many ways tenser. The odds were very interesting in blocking out the normal range and pushing us toward anomalous picks. Congratulations to NickGabben, Keler, and everyone else. And a big thank you to Fippy for offering odds in parallel to the main picking contest. I know I will certainly be looking forward to the former as much as to the latter when Sullla feels up to the next season

 

[Plains-Cow]

Yaaaay! Fourth place! Wooden medal!
