The Difference Between Good and Great Players

[DrSpike]

We had a duel, and a 3 way with Dank we started the same weekend. I am back in the game now after moving house and switching ISPs. I'll icq you and when you are online we can arrange some times.

Strat, I should be around tonight, but if I'm not, look for me tommorrow night for sure.

Work is once again insanity, and I am not sure if I can get away long enough to catch/distribute an a$$ whuppin'.

I don't require payment if I win either.

After playing with the strategicking, I can only say that his slowness is greatly exaggerated...

And his barb settings are for weenies!

There will be more to follow of course...

[Deity Dude]

I never said strat was slow - alot of players "slowness" is exxagerated or perpetuated myth.

I just want him to accept my challenge, or quit with the "I can beat anybody at 1x1x but the settings bore me" routine.

The challenge is out there Strat, from one Detroiter to another. I know you've seen it. So just give me the or the .

Which will it be???

I guess this will end in the Eyes vs Strat game of some weeks ago...

Nahhhh... we haven't seen Eyes in a few weeks now...
And this thread is pretty much proof that he isn't lurking, because you KNOW he would have posted in it by now if he was checking in

[War4ever]

Counter offer to Deity Dude......(its my job to make offers and never to accept the first one on the table...sorry)
Play my settings, 2 x 2 king, villiages, no lighthouse or mageleons or great wall , no city bribe, wet, warm, archi, small land, otherwise known as island settings...
Ill put up $200 to your $50 in a best of 5 series over next few weeks.....
And bye the bye, I never said I would beat everyone, every time on 1 x 1 deity... rather that I would win a majority of times simply because it is much easier to play assuming a good supply of artifically stimulants to keep you from falling asleep.

And of course, I have been a Metro Detriot bussines man, much like you DD, for the last 14 years and will pay in the unlikely event of an ego deflating, sucide provoking lose.
Let the battle for Michigan begin.......

Why don't you play two on each setting?

No then they might play, keep demanding to play on the settings you can win on, not any other settings

Ok, why is it that I can win on 1 x 1 deity (if I have a mental lapse and decide to play it with as much no-doze as the local 7-11 can supply me) yet you 1 x 1 deity players are helpless on a 2 x 2 king game and just wont win a game where huts and land are even or hell slightly in your favor????

A match on each setting is clearly fairest if the dispute is who is the better civver overall. But if I understand correctly DD isn't claiming that he would have a good chance in 2x2x king, but just disagreeing with strate's statement regarding 1x1x deity. Since that is the statement about which there is disagreement it is superfluous to test the rest.
