[Eauxps I. Fourgott]

You sure the casino doesn't want to include "Alex kills Zara" as an option?

Too guaranteed, perhaps?

 

[ManiaMuse89]

5000 on Alex first to die please.

 

[Keler]

3500 on Mansa Musa first to die
3500 on Qin Shi Huang first to die
3500 on Washington win
3500 on Saladin win

1500 on...uhmm... just whatever space victory

 

[Chalybion]

1000 on Sally 2nd
1000 on Alex 2nd
1000 on Zara 2nd
1000 on Dogpile
2000 on nukes!

 

[Eauxps I. Fourgott]

I keep thinking it would be cool to go all-in on something and win big, but I just can't keep from bidding more conservatively. I guess it's been working out for me so far, though!

I will bid 4000 gold each on:
Sal 2nd
Qin 2nd
Mansa 2nd
Alex 2nd
Alex attacks Pericles first

 

[Plains-Cow]

Betting it all on Mansa to win. Plainsy needs a new two-pairs of shoes.

[SittinDown]

I like the longshot on Perry, lymond.
I can't do the Saladin doesn't found first religion - he's the only one who starts with mysticism.
I like the favorite to Culture, since the field likes Space on this one.

I'll put:

400 - Mansa to win.
400 - Saladin to win.
400 - Greek on Greek.
400 - Qin first to die.

 

[Kaitzilla]

3000 Fippybucks on Nukes are flying!
5000 on Alex will DoW Pericles first
25000 on Mansa 1st to Liberalism + Economics

[Saxo Grammaticus]

1,350 Qin first
1,850 Alexander first

1,000 Washington first-to-die
900 Qin first-to-die

2,650 Domination
2,450 Diplomatic

1,200 Saladin ignores Mysticism
1,250 Peloponnesian War
1,850 Mansa "Mid-Game Score Leader" Musa
1,350 Only 2 AI left

 

[Gumbolt]

I think Mansa first to lib seems a crazy bet not to take .Need a miracle for that not to happen here with flood plain start.

On that basis 4k on Qin to win. Danger Alex attacks him but he might go for the other Greek.

Mansa tucked away next to a peaceful AI is a bit of a worry/

 

[Fippy]

Was that 1k on Mansa Lib + Eco and 4k on Qin?

 

[Gumbolt]

Was that 1k on Mansa Lib + Eco and 4k on Qin?

No all on Qin. I am not trying to bankrupt you. We get 5k. So 5k Qin.
