SGOTM 07 - Xteam

[Mad Professor]

Wow. Congrats JT! I haven't played a GOTM for about six or seven months and I'd only played two in six then either. I've not played very much since about GOTM21 though I was a regular before that. You've been busy JT, and doing very well - I hadn't noticed because I've even only very rarely read the GOTM threads in the last six months.

Well I'll be... The last GOTM I submitted was GOTM27 and before that GOTM25. Not as long ago as I thought. And despite not submitting any of the last four games I'm still comfortably in the top half of the ratings table at 156. Mind you, that table doesn't mea much below about No 80 (or should we say 110 Leif? )

Submit a few games and you'll easily pass me by.

I have been making some terrible errors in my games. The new AI has me scratching my head, at times, and I need to play more to figure it all out...

Still too much builder in me.

Nice job to JT.

BTW, have you pulled up the Medal awards and seen CP's collections.

I really need to get back to playing those games.

Anyone interested in an SG while we are awaiting the next SGOTM to get started? I think MW was possible thinking about playing one. We might want to see if they are interested in doing the same map and VC for comparison purposes.

 

[Mad Professor]

Just been looking at the HOF tables aain after a long time of not looking there either. I see I'm still in the top spot for a a couple of map sizes on Emperor Time vicotries, much to my amazement. I thought those efforts would have been long passed by. I could have done much better at those myself when I did them. Heaps of mistakes in them.

I see SCT has been playing some good Deity cultural games too? Well done SCT. Those are impressive victory dates!

I don't think I'd be able to divert much attention/time to a sgotm unless it was an official one with all the tight competition.

The deity table, and the cultural one in particular, is very strongly contested. Well done Shannon.

Always ready to give one a try. I'm sort of waiting on the HoF Mods for btS 3.17 to show up. But I need to complete BOTM08 before I upgrade. Better get on it...

Keep up the good work SCT. Culture is an intriguing victory condition. Played a few, but they weren't very speedy...

Cactus Pete is the man

Absolutely!!

 

[Cactus Pete]

Cactus Pete is definitely not "the man;" he's just persistent.

I'll have to opt out on any interim succession game. I'll be leaving the computer in three weeks for about three weeks. Probably have withdrawal symptoms.

 

[rrau]

I may be up for one, but will be at the beach for a week and gone on weekends for the next month.

The rumor is that the next SGOTM will be a game and that we've been waiting for the patch and the associated HoF Mod. The patch is out, the HoF Mod is in production, Denniz promised it "soon", and I saw Gyathaar visiting the thread yesterday, so expect he is back and, hopefully, designing. The reason I bring all this up is that sign-ups may be soon and if you'll be away for three weeks, just was wondering if you'll be available for the next one. That was a long way around...

Before you go, if the sign-up thread isn't up yet, you may want to PM AlanH and let him know you'll be away but wish to participate. Just planning ahead.

I could probably do a Bts SG, as long as it's in 3.13. I want to stay HOF eligible. I'll see if I can grab a couple more deity records before someone beats my current ones.

I agree as we also need to stay BOTM eligible. I haven't read up too much but did catch that there are some fairly significant changes in the update to 3.17. Have you read anything substantial about it?

I still haven't played alot of BTS games, so I'd be interested in that. Which would give us four:

SCT
Leif
rrau
me

(CP & JT have scheduling issues)

MP, do you have BTS and the time?

Fred hasn't been online since the July 6th.

 

[Mad Professor]

MP, do you have BTS and the time?

Definitely not the former and probably not the latter. I'll be travelling a bit in September, then in October, I'm probably country hopping again.

I think we should move it over to the succession game forum.

Vacation season perhaps?

It was kind of fun playing "Where in Africa is MP?"!!

We shall miss your skill, and keen sense of humor. Perhaps in your travels, you'll find a copy of .

I wanted to make sure we had enough interest before getting anything opened up over there. I can get something setup tomorrow night or if Leif has time to do it earlier that would be fine.

Should we drop a note in the MW thread to see if they are still trying to play a practice game?

 

[JerichoHill]

We (Misfits) are also playing a new practice game for the next SGOTM

Do you want to play the same save in order to compare?

 

[ShannonCT]

I just played Smurkz current save and was able to get a Diplo victory on turn 190 after a couple tries. I think the best strategy is to help conquer everyone on their continent that definitely wont vote for them: Issy, Alex, and Toku. They need to build some cats and take out Kyoto ASAP, and then get a dogpile going on Alex.

Do you want to play the same save in order to compare?

You can catch up if you wish, we're playing a BTS Monarch Game with the goal of an AP victory. We're playing from the same save, and setting points to check in, and then we choose what save we'll play from.

Basically, we're through turn 60, and are now playing to turn 100. We used my turn 60 save as I had eliminated Cryus with the dreaded 3 Warrior Rush.

Its in the Stories and Tales, Succession Games, TM3- Misfiction

 

[leif erikson]

Shall we play Misfits' save in our own thread in the Succession Game thread?
