I am not the greatest in the World!!!
A thread for those who enjoy their Civ MP but don't delude themselves about being the world's greatest player.

Nope, CW, I am worse off than you are.

I can (sometimes) laugh when I lose. More often than not I do. Being competitive is my ONLY goal, as it stimulates the fun.

I don't sweat a game like Civ 2, which I can excuse on luck.

But if I start losing at Diplomacy (No Luck at all) THEN I'll start getting worried.

But I doubt that would happen with any of YOU undiplomatic louts .

You can pick any settings you want...

1 or 2x movement
1 or 2x production
King or Deity
No barbs or Raging Hordes
huts or no huts
bribe cities or no bribe cities
bribe unit or no bribe units
large maps or small maps
large land masses or islands

It just doesn't matter... I'm the True Ultimate Civ God... NOT

But I will win my fair share of games

CW, you have been ahead in every single game we have EVER played with each other!

So who is worse off!

And at least you pretend to know what you are doing!

Ouch.
It does require considerable resources and better planning.

But it doesn't seem to stop me from annoying people.

I win some and lose some, as long as I have fun I really don't care. And those settings keep it fun for me. It is only a game. Fortunately there are usually enough players willing.

Lol, how refreshing, a thread where you have heated debates about who is worse. I'm sure we're all waiting for Markus and AH.

AH: "But Miss Piggy your civving skills are without compare"
Markus "But I fear your skill against the barbs eclipses my own"
AH "Which is nothing compared to your esteemed growth strats"
Markus "But I of course get all the hut luck, which helps.

Have no clue what I'm doing after 20 cities, 10 settlers, in MP. Rarely build up an attacking force of more than 20 units, even 10. Sux in combat. Mainly taking city by bribing & sneak in empty town. what else?

Hogwash CW!
The following will clearly state my point on who is worse:

Blah blah blah SETTINGS, blah blah blah BARB LEVEL, blah blah blah MAP SIZE, blah blah blah HUT LUCK, blah blah blah SILLY STRATEGY.

There, try refuting THAT well thought out point!

What's terrible is that you play other games while playing, and I actually play and you still do better than me!




P.S.: WTF is that thing Rah?

Dr. Spike, that means I have to read all that blither before I can find the explanation?

No thanks. I'll stay lost in the piccie!

Or somebody could post it here for me?

Since I AM so helpless...

Upon edit: I read the post (bored at the moment and skipped the blithering) and found it to be pretty funny.

But now I have the theme song in my head... *$%&$*!!!

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights.....

You should also put in some misspellings (hint: use "where" instead of "were" and "and" instead of "an").

Nice going Rah.........How about sneakily changing Ming's avatar on Friday night after a few beverages?

Of course we rely upon Markus voluntarily adopting Miss Piggy, the chances of which seem low.
