2001 Players Tourney Settings Question

[cavebear]

The response has not been overwhelming, and I suspect it is because of the settings. Since this is for the players, let me know how you want it to be played.

[SlowwHand]

There's only one correct answer, if we're talking flexible all around good players.

[Hydey]

I prefer 1x1x but to find the best player we must use all the settings so I vote to leave it as it is

[markusf]

Well i think its a waste of time, lets face it the vast majority of the players can't play outside of thier favorite settings. Playing a 2x 1x game with 4 players of which 2 of them have never played 2x isn't very fun. Same with 2x 2x players trying to play 1x 1x. Me arrii and nappy aren't going to play(last i heard) because its not going to be much of a challange. And for me large 2x games are no fun because if you use trade(300+science/gold/city) you will either kill everyone, or if you don't you will always launch a spaceship at 1ad.

[SlowwHand]

The point is, who can play with the greatest flexability it would seem.
Or am I misinformed?
If you can only play 2x or only play 1x or only play king you aren't one of the best.

I'm quite happy with Cavebear's original settings. It should flesh out the best most flexible player. I don't play any 2x2x but it also adds interest in the context of this tourney.

Let's see if any of Markus predictions, about how certain game settings will go, actually happens.
I think not....

LOL

I can play outside of deity x1x1. As a matter of fact I've played pretty number of games deity x2x1,king x1x1,emperor x1x1 or emperor x2x1.

I am not playing double movement because I don't enjoy it. Having fun is a whole point.
Anything less than emperor is a settlers spitting contest where your initial starting position is everything.
My two cents.

I don't really care about the settings, just trying to play a few good games with dedicated players.
Looks like the so called 2* 2* beside kuja are not going to participate anyway, is it worth keeping?

[SlowwHand]

when is this scheduled?

[Zylka]

I'll play

[Species8472]

i will only play if it is totally and utterly completly only without exception and priory to 1x1x.

i dont care wheather it is king, emperor or deity (well actually i do, but i dont think its realistic to ask).

If there are rounds other then 1x1x, count me out. if it is as stated in the first sentence, count me in.

[oedo]

cavebear, please tell me how much time do I have to sign up yet. as some of you know I live in a 3rd world country where it takes years to get a telephone line, let away an internet connection. now I´m waiting for more than 4 months.
dammit, I really want to play this........

Fun is the key factor

I prefer 1x1x. 2xanything is not fun to me.
I've tried several times to play at 2x, but its not the same (game).
Also, I'd like to see a no wonders game, and a game where u can only build 5 military units, no more.
A no wonders deity game, against humans, with no bribes, no wonders, no more than 5 military units looks like a good challenge to me. And 1x1x, of course.

[The Barbarian]

How does one win your game Carnide? if you have no wonders you can't build a spaceship and with 5 military pieces it would be hard to conquer another
