Looks like I missed most of the fireworks. Don't mind me, just a bystander.

Yes, I really would like a straight answer to the question of when exactly was the last time he played.

**Ming** · February 14, 2003, 20:12

Well... either Eyes is lying, or SK is.

Eyes Vs SK!

Fight fight fight

**DrSpike** · February 14, 2003, 21:16

Haha classic thread. Even the people that characteristically defend Eyes seem a leetle p1ssed off right now.

Good stuff.

**War4ever** · February 14, 2003, 22:45

its the way it goes....when he personally attacks people i have known for over four years it pisses me off.....

if he wants to claim being the greatest blah blah blah, thats fine too, but when he just rants like an idiot..i feel the need to stick up for my buddies, whom aren't allowed to verbally abuse back due to their powers....

sometimes i just dn't care and decide to take a chapter out of eye's own book..seeing as he probably thinks hes the god of insults too

Fair enough, but I think Ming is ok either way.

As much as HS is right about 1 x 1, lets not get into records as in last 20 or so games we are about even.
I find that the more decisions made by a human in Civ, the human that makes the best decisions will win the game (luck being even of course).
The simple question is, where does a HUMAN MAKE THE MOST DECISIONS PER TURN, 1 X 1 DEITY OR 2 X 2 KING?
Since in 2 x 2 king, u have more production to work with , more citys, more gold, more units to move and thoose units move farther each turn furthur increasing your decision making options.
In 1 x 1 deity, everyone is forced to do the same thing. Must place a warior in a city to prevent revolts. Units move only 1 space per turn. Tech comes so slowly that you make less decisions of which route to take.
Another reason 1 x 1 sucks is time. I played Deitydude in my l;ast, and I mean LAST , 1 x 1 game. I killed him, destroyerd all units he had with in 25 squares of any of my citys. Closed the entire board off from him. Gathered all the huts, which of course gave me techs or barbs that killed more units then he did and I was like 26 turns till monarchy or republic, and thats probably underestimating.
We played for three hours and thier was only a pathic 10 citys on the board 5 of mine, and 5 of his.
I played a game with Robbie a while back and in 3 hours we had 60 citys on the board, we were delivering caravans and doing a tech a turn and fighting every where around the world. The number of decisions to be made a turn were staggering.
And to Dr. Spike who likes to explore boards, yet likes to play 1 x 1 deity, how much money do you make a year? Point is you can do 10 times the exploring in a 2 x 2 game in 30 turns as you can do in 100 of 1 x 1 deity, just play the RIGHT way and go work overtime and pay for that Hawaii vacation.

And by the way, I said I have lost one game after 1000 bc (maybe even like 1500 bc but I cant be sure). So Ming if you quote me, get it right and youll seem smarter.
Games with HS rarely last longer then 30 mins cause one side knows they are cooked early.
( When was the last pro-US ralley in Iraq? Doesnt that discredit any anti-US protests in Iraq making it non-news?) Strates got to stop watching CNN......

Yes, this forum's good for one of these threads every 2 or 3 months... interestingly, about the same length of time a pharmacist will fill a Ritalin prescription for.

**Ming** · February 15, 2003, 13:52

So SK... don't you still count those as losses

Is he better than you, or is he just blowing smoke

**StrategicKingMi** · February 15, 2003, 14:35

The point of this post is not about me and Sean, its simply trying to enlighten the Backwards players on Apoloyton that 1 x 1 deity is good for them because they are limited players and afraid to play the right way...
Sean and I play radically different settings, kind of hard to play with that much difference. This is exactly why Apoly,,,ers dont play me cause we have radically different setting desirers.

**Ming** · February 15, 2003, 14:52

First... there is no "right" way... there are personal preferences, but no "right" way.

Plus... people that only play 2x2x are the limited ones

Technically, the "right" way would be considered the way the game was designed... 1x1x... But I can't stand that any more.

**Ming** · February 15, 2003, 14:53

And you never answered the big question... Eyes says he's better than you... is that true... are you really not the best
