I am the greatest player of all TIME!!!

markusf · February 20, 2001, 23:26

I am tired of reading that pretenders eyes, and the wannabe agartha posting crap. I hereby challange EYES, Agartha,war4ever and bezerker to a 5 way game.

I would like Cavebear to create the a medium map.

The game will be sim turns, emp no barbs, no caravans to other civs and NO allainces and no tech trading or stealing 1x 1x. Conquering and taking tech is fine. At least one of these settings annoy someone, but there isn't any way all of you will agree to everything.

So its time to put up or shut up this saterday....

Put up or shut up

carnide_ · February 21, 2001, 00:12

I bet Markusf will win.
Can we have all the turns saved files? Please?

February 21, 2001, 00:24

Presumably the winner is going to play Arii and then me to determine who is the true champion

Ahhhh Carnide you're just rooting for Markus because I made you my *****. Don't worry, I'm going to make what I did to you look like childsplay when I get done with Markus. Then you can both be my *****es and I can be the apolyton pimp.

War4ever · February 21, 2001, 01:45

LOL..... Markus i will play, but i hardly even think i am of your magnitude in Ego or civ ability

Am i being put in here for being a loudmouth ? If so then i understand the co. i keep..... otherwise this group hardly makes up the best civvers around... no offense to anyone...

My vote for a best players game would be Eyes, Markus, Arii, Nappy, Carnide, Species.... and Crustacian.... This is more likely your top calibre civvers...

If the time is convienent, for sure i will play.... just post it

BTW Eyes

Not a bad list. I'd love to see who would win a game with that bunch

February 21, 2001, 01:59

Well species has won 1 game with me in the past 14 times we've played. At one point he quit a game and told me "**** you anyways" and refused to play me for about 6 months. Carnide is a joke. lol Put war4ever in there he's better. hehehe Arii I don't know, but if he's like he is on 2x2x he wouldn't be a challenge. Nappy could give me trouble. Markus doesn't give me trouble in a duel but in a large game he might pose a threat. Crustacian...HAHAHHAAHAHAAHAA!!!!!!!! I think a game between is us would come down between Me, Nappy, and Markus (depending on whether or not he starts by me), and Arii or so I've heard. Everyone else would be my ***** before the game even starts.

oedo · February 21, 2001, 02:17

errrr, markus, why don´t you try to finish and win our sunday game with nappy, todd and me before? you know, I mean the one you currently take the 3rd place in powergraph

.
and anyway, what does it mean for the best player on earth if he´s even going to loose on oedo?

Crustacian · February 21, 2001, 10:21

Excellent sounding game! All "eyes"

will be upon it.
Wish I could be there

The game rightly should be in a rented hall on a LAN. Maybe someday it will be possible.

markusf · February 21, 2001, 11:33

agharta chickened out as i knew he would (can't play outside of his crazy settings). I would like nappy to play, and crusty. I would have gotten arii but he isn't around very often at the moment. I picked the players i did because they are all strong army players.

oedo - I don't even have monarchy at 500bc(crap techs) but what i do have is a lot of wonders & a LOT of cities. the pg graph means absolutely nothing. Give me 5 turns in rep and it will go up 90 degrees.

I also wrote a program that saves every turn, so we could keep a list of saves if you guys want.

February 21, 2001, 11:42

That's cool!!

carnide_ · February 21, 2001, 17:39

hmmm...
To be fair, I say: Markus invited some people into the game, Eyes has not. I think there is a real danger of everyone bunching up against one human (you all know what I mean). So, if Markus invited someone, I think Eyes should invite someone also.
... And more: about game settings, there should be a list to choose, like map size, dificulty level, barb level, and so on.
Eyes choose first, because he is the challenged. Lets say, he chooses King. Them its Markus turn to choose. lets say he chooses Med map, then is Eyes turn, and so on...
This is how I see a good, even and fair match.

Capo di tutti Capi · February 21, 2001, 17:58

Although I doubt anyone could ever claim to be the greatest of all time....

I don't think Civ was created to be fair anyway.

markusf · February 21, 2001, 18:04

carnide we already discussed the settings, and i posted what we finally agreed to.

Now all i have to do is hear back from nappy, bezerker and crusty and we are on. Also ask nappy or berzerker if we have ever allied in a game, most of the time its been war at first sight. You will also notice the rules state no allies, no tech trading etc.

carnide_ · February 21, 2001, 18:20

Good point. But you know, humans dont need to be allied to bunch on someone. I still think Eyes should invite someone.

February 21, 2001, 21:07

Doesn't matter, let them gang up on me. I'm obviously not the best if I can't take people 5 on 1. Maybe this time markus will at least give me some what of a challenge with all these players to support him.

Nap Bonaparte · February 21, 2001, 22:05

This game sounds like a blast....especially on one of Cavebear's famous tournament maps!!! I would really like to participate and will accept any and all settings...but I am not available for a few Saturdays. Any chance we can do this on a weeknight??? Tue/Wed/Thur???

Hydey · February 21, 2001, 22:47

We shall finally know who is the best of the not very good players

Will they take on the true champ Alex Horse

?

War 4, I wouldn't mind playing you in the game I had with makeo. I have a save at about 1600, when the war started. It would be interesting to see how you'd go against me in an established civ.

Anytime you're ready, I'll fire it up

Its actually an excellent game, I keep it like a scenario.

Hmm... how did I get on this list? I'll play, but I can think of a couple dozen people who are better than me. Btw, why didn't you mention this challenge last night when we were playing Curumbor's Millenium Diplomacy?

As of now, the following nights are consumed by Civ: Sunday, Wednesday, Tuesday, and (?)Thursday(?). Damn, too much civ playing

arii · February 22, 2001, 14:08

Eyes, you have beaten me only 1 time using 2* 2* and in that game you started on a river bed and got a tribe and a horse after 3 turns from hutts. I should perhaps remind you that I hold a 2-1 record against you for finished games (with about 5 unfinished games).

February 22, 2001, 16:11

I don't think I remember it that way arii. Put your money where your mouth is and we'll play. I'm more tahn willing to make you my ***** again. You can't defeat me.

cavebear · February 22, 2001, 16:56

Working on map. It will be fair, balanced between land and sea, set up for 5 civs (easily changed if desired), no AIs, 50x80 map, emporer, village barbs, 1x1x. I won't have the slightest idea who will choose which civ. I'll use the first 5 civs, the players can rename them as they see fit. The map will be "Earthlike", not "chessboard" (unless I'm told otherwise).

Berzerker · February 22, 2001, 22:41

No huts please, Cavebear. It's ridiculous that one person gets 2 or 3 nomads or cities while another gets barbs.

cavebear · February 23, 2001, 18:55

Markusf, do you want me to remove the huts?

markusf · February 23, 2001, 19:05

sure.

Most likely means that very few people will build units to explore early on. Which means i can hunt people down and finish them off
