SGOTM 16 - U'nu'sual S'us'pec'ts

OK, time taken into account, fair enough.

I am GMT -10, so it is 8.25am right now. About to drop the kids at school and head to work.
Ok. That's not so bad. I thought you might say it is 6am or something like that.

Thanks for summarizing options to get this moving forward.
In order of preference: 2, 5, 4, 1, 3
 
I should restate mine as well, in order of preference

5, 2, 4, 1, 3
 
Okay, I've spent a fair time arguing my case to no avail. I don't think I will be changing anyone's opinion no matter how hard I try so I'll be stepping back. :)
 
So, did you still want to be skipped for this turnset?
 
Sorry, wasn't sure if you meant from the argument or the turnset.
 
Hm, that's too bad, I didn't think we'd end up with a withdrawal from the turnset.

I guess I'm up. I will download the save tonight and take a look over all the notes. Any suggestions toward the next mini-turnset would be greatly appreciated.
 
Chris, its you and me next.
Do you want to do the war preparation (and maybe start invasion), or the next turn.

Obviously we need to wait for Trys & Benginal to have their say about what kind of invasion we should do.

edit: x-post
 
Cool, I would prefer the war to the buildup :)

OK - I am sorry to see this, but I completely understand not wanting to be responsible for executing a plan you don't really believe in. I would however like to reinsert you in the queue ASAP. Everyone should play turns.

I would rather do the war buildup than conduct the actual war!

So Chris next (build up), then neilmeister (war). I would then like to have Revent play soon after that, since he only played 3 turns. Revent, if you are unavailable or would prefer to wait longer let me know.

For the record, my plan preferences, in order are 5, (2 or 4), 1, 3.
 
Revent: Do you man. I hope that AFTER this game is all said and done you play out your method so we can do a comparison! A lot of these SGOTMs seem to be at Emperor and I'm curious, since I'm not entirely convinced your war plan wouldn't work. That being said my order is:

5, 4, 2, 1, 3
 
Yes indeed, I look forward to a 'told-you-so' post. :)
 
Thanks Trystero :) With that said, I'm fine with 5 as well, just that I think 3 would be so much quicker and better. I initially wanted 3 myself, but seeing the spread of units made me rethink that.

@Ben, I definitely will be playing from the save to test out my way after this SG is over. :) I am almost certain it will not fail. The AI just does not have enough time to comprehend what is going on before they will lose all their cities. I've tested out a similar situation in wb and they just can't figure it.

@Neil, won't be happening :D

Edit: As for when I'd like to play next, I'd prefer if it wasn't something that had room for too much controversy. I think this debate got a bit too heated for my liking.
 
Sorry you feel that way. I like a little healthy controversy - it makes us rethink our assumptions and helps us learn more about the game and its strategies. If there's anything we can do to continue to challenge each other while being more respectful, let us know.
