Thanks Sir Francis. But on a serious note I think your credentials are on the ascendancy! With that win in the Monday Night diplo and hot on my heels in HOTW2 you'll be in these lists before you know it!
You feeling lucky? Go ahead, screw my pg Not!

Serious oimissions:
Makeo (as in Smack-ee-oh!)
carnide
MarkE
Berzerker
Crusty
species, I believe?
And I understand Epik and suas are good too...

And I thought that someone in the Rah/Ming/Bird group really rocked? Who was it? Not War4. He sux. He dodges games too.....

pah i don't dodge anyone........

[Eyes_Of_Night]

Never played makeo so I don't know, Carnide....I'd have to say no. I've never been impressed with his game, he's too simplistic. Species could probably be on there. Berzerker and Crusty? Kind of in the same boat as Carnide. Never played MarkE so I don't know. Suas is not a top tier player, and I doubt Epik is though I've never played him.

Well, we all know you are the big leader in this game but the empirical analysis suggests:
* You have 45 techs; I have 48
* I'm first in pop, GNP and production

But it is true that you have led most of the game.... and you could say I've been hot on your heel

OK, just for the fun of it, my 'sense' of it is this:

TOP TIER:
Nappy (Tourney 2000 winner)
ariitea (did very well in Tourney 2000)
Markus (did very well in Tourney 2000)
Eyes*
Kaak*
Makeo
Smartfart*
JB*
species*

GREAT 2nd TIER PLAYERS:
carnide
Berzerker
Crusty
Epik*
suas333*
RAH
Ming*
Bird
War4ever
kengel*
jediscum*
Mark E
deity (put myself here)

GREAT UP AND COMING PLAYERS:
drake
Zylka
EASTHAVEN
agharta


PLAYERS WITH SPECIAL MILITARY and/or DIPLO QUALITIES:
Alexanders Horse - military
Rasputin - aggressive and clever diplomacy
finbar - serious peacemonger
GNGSpam - brilliant diplomat and manipulator
Capo - story telling and gamesmanship (better than Eyes!)


AND MANY OTHER TERRIFIC PLAYERS who are very 'clubbable' and in any given game any of us can shine:

I'm sure there are more names to go in but just playing around with this for the heck of it!
It would be nice to have an Apolyton League for proper MP games with a rating system, especially with Civ3 coming out.


*deity not played against

[Eyes_Of_Night]

Agharta is an up and coming player? I think that's an insult to all those who have talent.

[Rasputin]

who me aggresive ??? NEVER !!!! GRRRRRR!!!!

[markusf]

When you guys can duplicate this then we can talk This is 1x 1x btw.

[War4ever]

[SlowwHand]

No joke. Play a hundred games, all different, and then pick one as representative ?
uh huh.

losing? whats that? I have never heard of it

[War4ever]

ah i see the difference in first and second tier now....... first tier can't admit to losing any games and the second tier is very humble

[Hydey]

LOL @ War4

It must be hard having never lost a game, take it out of the box , play it for the first time , crush the AI on Deity by 500 bc.
I'm glab I had to struggle my way learning from my mistakes.

[Rasputin]

umm for us mere mortals, can some one please do a tutorial on how to get 50 Gold per commodity in Trade per turn ....

This is obviously one of this hidden explanations in manual

[StrategicKing2]

HA! I got to laugh at this one. More Apoloyton arrogance. Quite possibly the best player in the world was left off the list.
That would be the 8 time Game League Champion, StrategicKing.
You inbred hicks got to come forth from your catacombs, theres more civ life out side this puny community.
I cant say for certain that you people are no good, since we never play. Mostly your fault, I am so easy to find on gaming zone or icq. But from some of the players on the list like arii and markus I have beaten frequently and eyes recently could do no better then 50% vs me in duels. But nobody touches me in team games or multiplayer games.
Your all a bunch of wannabies...I vote for myself...
Blow me if you dont like it...
