First off, my vote goes to Ruff. Circumnavigation is a huge bonus in my books and in general I find his save more appealing. I am a little concerned at Hatty's more advanced culture on our southern tip as compared to other saves tho.

Problem with commenting and 20 turns steps is that longer planing results are not visible yet.
Second problem that I feel you many voite and decision come from idea choising no my save, not choising the best save.
When I'm examining the saves, I look at what I believe to be the best point. I do not take into account who ran that particular set of turns. I stand behind each of my choices. If you believe that the rest of us in this thread are out to get you or somehow ignore you, then perhaps this style of play is not for you.
When turns are measured not by long term plan, but by current state long turm plan will not be apriciated and wrong conclusion will be drafted.
When I look on provided save it become clear that it is not posible to use a big plan I used of whipe structures in Orgonised religiong/small cities and grow and run specialists in Pacifism then revolt to Nationalism to draft army for fast conquest.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in SGs since there is a different person playing the game every 10-20 turns, part of the challenge is trying to keep some sort of long term plan in place while still allowing each member to add their own flavor.
For all practical reasons we allredy won this game, so this inprecision would not be matter, but I am unable to demonstrate advantages of long turm planing and why doing thinks this way is more optimum.
Since you believe we've already won this game, then perhaps there's no need for you to play. If instead you want to conduct a teach course on the relative advantages of certain strategies, you'd be better starting a new game and asking for folks to join up that want to be taught.
In short my actions at that moment prepare my actions 20-40-60 turns ahead. That made for me to imposible to comment on other people saves, as no one stated there plan for next 20-40-60 turn. No one specify how they intend to build military, how fast and in what amount if they intend to go to war or what is purpouse of there peacefull development.
I'm sorry that we are unable to provide a report that is up to your high standards. I know I'm not an expert player. If I am unable to convey my plan then I apologize. However if you are the experienced/advanced player that you purport to be, shouldn't you be able to see/understand much more from my position? Just because I'm not going the route you would prefer doesn't make it wrong from the start.
Many people who win on emperor or even higher do have plan, but it is often very narrow plan, like praetorians rush or something simular and if terran and situation does not sute it they reroll or lose.
1) This isn't emperor.
2) We chose not to have a narrow plan from the start
3) I entered this SG to learn from multiple viewpoints, not have one forced down my throat over and over.
Now there is additional problem as people take my point of view offencive, then the only think I want to do and try to do is to explain this main point.
I don't think your point of view is offensive. I think the way in which you interact with us is far too self superior for my taste.
You have stated in previous posts that "everyone was wrong and here's proof that I did better" (April 21). On May 4 you decided that it was one of our players was being disrespectful for posting late even tho they posted on time. So you attacked someone solely because they were in a different timezone.
Your most recent post continues this escalation of talking down to the rest of the SG crew.
Yes, there has got to be some misunderstanding due to English not being the primary language for all of us, however even if I go back and reread what you have posted recently with that in mind.... it still comes across as arrogant and self righteous.
Mutineer you have taught me some new techniques and tips in the early parts of this game and I'm sure that you have many more interesting and wise points to make. IF you can't lower yourself to playing with us instead of telling us how wrong we are, then perhaps this is the wrong SG for you.
on my part w/that) AND he's going to have the nav bonus, which is primo, imo ~
I had stopped lurking this SG for precisely the frustrations you point out.
I'm always late for the voting. I also vote for Ruff. His work towards circumnavigation is enough to sway my vote.
