I Have a zero tolerance stance on being called a cheat
So im certainly gonna havea few issues with playing faded Glory or Doom. Dont think anyothers called me an outright cheat.

Just sat down and calculated the cost of rush buying banks from the start using that ramp swap that you metioned. The cost of a bank is previously 2250 and went down too 1632 using every conceivable building that would help. In theo that is So i htink you could get a destroyer at a cost of 1500 (using coluseum)
but any of you been able to build destroyers while still in theo well not me.
Well did the sme in commi you would get a destroyer at 3064 gold and a mill at 3237 gold. Without ramping the cost of a colluseum is 4140 gold. Well thats kinda lot of gold and if you wanna build a destroyer at a cost of 3000 gold you can do it in anygame we play i dont mind a bit as apposed for doing it at 8000 gold. But i aint gonna do it, 3000 gold is a LOT for ONE unit. So with 17 k i can build 5 destroyers from scratch yay for me, especially on that tourney map where the production count is gonna get over 100000 per turn fairly early on. Thanks doom your suggestion is genius.

So you can build mills at 3000 gold per city in commi hmmmm
still dont think its a great idea but what do i know. If i did i would have thought, since im such a great player, I would have spent every cent in doing so on mills in my weaker cities. Oh well instead i just saved up 17000 gold in probably 15 turns oh well.

Im still proclaim that i generally end up saving quite a bit of gold.
but being accused of cheating for doing so


So lets bring on this evidence against me.

Now that settler bug that yoda mentioned, where if you crash and come back in, on the next turn. Cities that have built a settler on that turn have moved up in size to 2 rather than staying on 1. HAHA wonder who told him that one when first I confermed it, lol yip me and who wanted to go back to the save so i didnt get an unfair advantage yes meeeeeee. Wow man im dishonest. Now if i was smart i would have kept silient and crashed lots at the start . Who got accused of purposely crashing to do this by doom. You guessed it mmmmmeeeee . I had kinda noticied it before but i just shrugged it off. Now im not the only one whos ever crashed, so no one else has ever mentioned this . Wow am i the smartest one here lolol I sure hope not. Cause i aint that smart ill post my University academic transcript if you dont beleive me lolol. Ive just played this game more than most, hence why im better than ALLMOST all else.

To my CTP friends:

Well I had a talk with Paul tonight, and the good news is I think we went a ways towards patching up our differences. I'm going to send him some files, and we are going to discuss them.

I'm doing my best to convince him to re-enter the tournament. This may sound strange, but I still consider this guy a friend.

Paul told me that he's still pissed off at me (guess I can't blame him), and he's worried that he might be doubted or over overscrutinized in the tournament. Not to worry Paul. You are a formidable--if somewhat cocky--CTP player. But the tournament will not be the same without you. Just relax and play your game...let the results speak for themselves. Everyone wants you back in...it won't be the same without you.

haha as a great man once said " i wanna eat your children"
I just like bit of the old trash talk, my ego really isnt that big. By the way i was only being sarcastic Mike Tyson isnt a great man What you gonna do all day erica since you are now unemployed ? Play with the kitten ?

[blackice]

Not to worry all players treated equally regardless of name

Unemployed hummm lots of time to play Erica

Good to hear the two of you have decided to work it out, Doom, Paulino1.

Boney nice to see someone caught on do you want to mod a game or two?

So what other things are there to keep this tourney clean, fair and fun for all. Thanks to Yoda, Doom, paulino1 we have an extensive list now.

Would it be possible to enshrine this list somewhere so we all (and newcomers) have easy reference to it - in a thread referenced by the Info Central thread perhaps.

Yeah, thats a Great That way we can all compete with the bestest! ..ermm.umm..I mean so we can all know what is absolutely wrong in the community! of gaming, that way No One gets an upperhand!!

"Now Troll, dont startr nothing and there wont be nothing"..as the Apolyton god's boom to Troll orders to cease and desist all/any remarks that may lead to anyone thinking anyone cheats! Because we all know that deep down in the hearts of all players, fairness rules ...

I do have a confession to make for which I am ashamed.. about a year ago my wife was out of town..(NO NOT THAT kinda confesion!! ) but anyway, I have two PC's networked and I played as two different people online with another person, this happened several times, I felt..well.. Good that I had one civ supplying me with gold and tech, maps of my competitor, and well..I was wrong and Hey..I am sorry, it was a terrible thing to do, and well.................. I was partly inspired by F G and his gameplay, which was suspect to me, I was wrong to accuse him and then what did I do?? I did the unthinkable, I stooped to "less than honorable gameplay!"...... Ok..Im glad I got that off my chest..now I can move on with my life..all this thread was doing was make me see the err of my wys, I havent done it since and hope no one would do it, because it is wrong, I now throw myself at the feet of the jury..PUUUUUUllllll-ease 4-give me...

I promise to help expose more wrong doings..so we can all be ebetter for it!....




(Bumping F G) (psstt..dont you wanna confess now..BUDDY????? for really not cheating, but aggravating folks to the point they couldnt think of anyone or anything else?? )

Ok..Im done

Have a great day

Hold on faded glory. I hope that was more beer than brain speaking.

Under NO circumstances do I want to see Paul banned from the tournament. Paul is still an excellent CTP player, as I've said, and he and Yoda are the primary contenders for the title of World's Best CTP Player. I only wish Paul would understand the importance of a stronger committment to honesty and integrity and fair play.

For a long time now I considered this guy a friend, and Paul is right about one thing: we have had some epic CTP battles. I am going to sorely miss them.....

Dr. Doom

The Save was not a counted Apolyton Game no internet ranking game and not a GavTourney Game. So even if he cheated it counts nothing. In my opinion paul is the world best CTP player even if some players dont want to believe that. Paul tought me a lot of things and i perfectly know that he doesnt cheat. So if you really want to bann him, you should better surch at a Tourney save for Cheats or something like that. I dont know what happend with the file of the Yodav.Paul game, but Paul must be very stupid to cheat in a game that counts nothing
If he leave the tourney the World Best CTP player cant be found!
Have good games

Will this catch on? Will Gav's name be forever connected to the Tourney? It makes sense - they name most sports events after the sponsor.

Two problems....

I am not called Gav

And this is not a Tournament!

Bah! Minor problems .

Firstly, your name is Gav, because that's what we all call you. What more is a name than a form of address ?

Secondly, he said Tourney, not Tournament - they're different (though I couldn't say exactly how). Besides, everyone's calling it 'the tourney' now - you'll never change that .

[Gavrushka]

Conceded!

Hey my name is Gav, and this competition is a tourney.

The moon is also made of cheese, and I know it cos I made the damned thing.
