SGOTM 12 - One Short Straw

Great job, bcool!! :goodjob: You ended the game in style and had a bit of fun, me thinks.

Did you send a PM to AlanH yet? We can't starting reading / posting in other threads until he posts here that we're done.
 
I wanted to say thank you to everyone on the team. I learned a ton this SGOTM and I appreciate all the hard work and persistence from everyone. I hope my enthusiasm for some of my ideas (i.e. stubbornness) wasn't too hard on you guys. I appreciate all the work you guys put in defending and explaining your ideas, testing, deciphering the code, and of course your diligent play.
 
I agree. I had a lot of fun too. The main thing I'm taking from this game is how to deal with stubborn people... ;)

In all seriousness, I think we worked well together as a team. We did some ranting and raving along the way, but we pulled it together and played a great game.

Thanks!!
 
Wow, you guys really did it!!!

Congratulations :goodjob::clap::thumbsup::love::rockon::run: :dance:[party]:band::beer::bounce::high5::cheers::trophy: :xmastree::newyear:

I followed your thread since the beginning, while periodically checking the ducks. This SG turned into a really fascinating experiment: can a large, intensely cooperative, obsessively analytical (> 4400 posts :eek:) team, playing a super quantitative game, beat two civ giants, playing with greater autonomy and a more qualitative style? Up until basically a week ago, everyone on the forum thought the ducks had it in the bag. I was rooting for you guys the whole time (and also in SGOTM 11) because I'm an obsessively analytical guy myself, but I admit, I had basically given up hope after the ducks posted a T261 win a while back. Your whole game, and especially the last two weeks, was a heroic effort, and without everyone's contribution, I doubt you could have squeezed out the 1-turn margin of victory. Great job!!! :goodjob:

By the way, your thread was by far the most fun to read, for three reasons:
i) the frequency of posts ensured that there would always be something to read :lol: :mischief:
ii) the level of analysis, participation, and creativity transcended everything else out there, and
iii) your team dynamic allowed for both vigorous debate and enthusiastic cooperation.

It was also fitting that, though some dropped out in the middle, (almost) everyone came back for the final push. Too bad LC couldn't be here :sad:
 
ummm, there was a final save box? I thought you only had to hit that if you had a loss...

The screen that came up after I entered it showed a "game finished" or "victory submitted" or something along those lines.
 
:lol: you are correct, that box is only for conquest losses! Never mind, we're good :) And yes, I started looking at other threads. Looks like we beat PD by one turn! :crazyeye:
 
Congratulations guys :band:

Looks like you did it, and you did it ahead of everyone else :dance:

All I can say is I would have liked to play along but simply don't have the time for such a commitment (just look at the sheer amount of posts :faint:). I couldn't do much but occasionally dropping by and skimming a few posts and of course watching the progress graph :D Very well done indeed :clap:
 
I've already congratulated PD for their Gold, but now i must change my target.

You did it despite Mitchum, i see

I was sure you were goin' to beat us, but i thought you would finish some 5 turns or more after PD at the time we finished.

You have surely noticed that annoying fallout right South of London, did you?
