Never been to discord, but the pace will pick here as well once the game starts.

Are you closely analyzing the playoff starting positions to determine the best fantasy picks? Counting the number of food resources near each leader? Trying to predict how diplomacy will shake out for each game based on part on the "warmonger respect" values?
I suspect most people remaining on CFC will automatically consider certain xml aspects like iBaseAttitude, iWarmongerRespect, iBasePeaceWeight, (various)AttitudeThreshold, simply because many long term players know these values off the back of their hand (mostly through playing SP for years).
I'd be surprised if any of the minutiae being discussed on discord hadn't originated on CFC nearly two decades ago.
I think the main argument against over-analysing Survivor is that so much is dependent on dumb luck. Even the peaceweight randomly varies by several points with each game, so we can't be sure of natural enemies or allies. More often than not, alternate histories seem to show a wide range of outcomes in unclear positions.
As a side-note, I'm quite sure that (for Survivor purposes) AI demand penalties are a red-herring. The AI never demands anything that could be refused from other AIs, though they will offer trades/bribes, but with tech trading turned off even this is uncommon.
Kublai is the safe bet because he's closest to his cow of destiny. The only one on the map!
I'd actually think we'd be fingered as the more "hardcore" types considering we're posting on a forum rather than in just a chat. The forum actually allows for more detailed discussion IMO because it allows for some afterthoughts to be shared along with images.
Since the times of Romans watching gladiators, we're simply carrying on the tradition of watching parties tear one another apart for our amusement. I mean, the organizer's name is SULLLA.I mean anyone who’s watching the computer play itself for 4 hours for a game released in 2005 is absolutely in the supercool camp
Well, regardless of how relatively hardcore the different groups are, the basic truth is that there is a Discord, and from my observations in a limited time here, the two communities have rather different vibes.
Wow, I hope you're right for the meme factor alone.
WE CAN DO MEMES?????????Yup!

Nice message at the bottom of the preview
Sullla displayed your comment! Will you be sending more picks in the future? There's also an aptly named "Mooaddict" who might not be named in order to honor best resource, but I'll consider them an honorary member of The Pasture!
You can drop your CFC handle sometime so people know where to find you here when/if they come over. I'm surprised you didn't include "The Rook" anywhere in your post! There are already those coming over to CFC to talk more since S7 started. I'm sure they'd love to read everyone's posts (those who are into that kind of thing, at least).LOL, I'm surprised that Sullla published my comment, since it wasn't really a prediction, but I'm glad he did, because now I know he knows the differing origins of "Plains-Cow" and "Plain Cow".
Anyway, I'm not sure I can make any future comments as Plain Cow, now that I've given myself the big hype job as the "plain", "reserved" and "dull" one.
As for "Mooaddict", I suppose we would need to know the story behind their pseudonym. Perhaps they are addicted to "Text-based online virtual reality systems": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOO
Don't feel you have to back the English. I want them to win but peace weight is a killer. Silly religion moves could be too. Avoiding key techs for religion would be annoying.
