    haha that is academic.
    But I hope however that duke wins the 3 way tie if i win vs prey because that means i will have beaten all my opponents in the finals 2-0 kindof like the 2010 world championship

    Haha its going to be a total crapshoot for 20 turns and then maybe 2 players will be able to hang around and make it a good game. FFA with all good players is so much different than with just 1 or 2 good players.

    my germans beat forums russians
    I walk and bump into the romans. romans die to a walkin and i get 8g. i spot forums boarders across a thin lake so i build warriors in my cities adn firtify them. then i spot Soc so i build a galley and sail over and get it for um a gs and a gh i think.
    I then land a warrior to the east of forum with the idea to stop him getting any gold in that direction. I then find his galley so i attack it and win in a 50/50. I find one of his warriors and go for the 50/50 to try to get elite (elite is worth more to me)
    well i win that too and i shut him off from the barbs to the west which i then send a warrior or two off to capture as well as trying to get some south of him....
    then with this pretty awesome start... i freeze....

    forum seemed to think he had a small chance left in the game so I reluctantly OK'd the restart.. well I guess at least it shows Im clearly not doing these things on purpose since i was royally screwed there..

    we then played another and I got a march gg wa in the first few turns as well as a USA cap. this time resulting in me having somthing like an ultra fast HA unit running all over the map collecting gold and stuff. then.. it froze again..

    forum generously offered the first game up as the win so thats the one that counts.

    play your games boys!

    sorry forum.. there is somthing really wrong with our connection - 3 games in a row....

    It is not specified, so I would assume any but China and America unless Dan steps in. Personally I think we should go 3 way Russia

    Also, how should we resolve the hosting issue Dan?

    Well it should either be you or multi since you both swept Itz in regular play...actually I hate to say this but it should just be a h2h. In all other tournaments we play if you are tied with somebody the first tiebreaker comes down to who won the original games so according to all other tourney rules they wouldnt have to play itz(since they both swept him).....I guess its totally dans call.....

    No offense Itz Im not pickng on you I just noticed it when I was looking at the records to see who should host...

    by the way i have never liked that silly rule of previous records making you the more allstar player... this game is designed 2 determine a winner! eventually

    yes thats why i figured i could voice my opinion. .. but i do abide by the rules ... lets pretend i wasnt happy when scottie got an instant first place in the 2011 h2h because of his previous record against me thrash n morte but i i am way over that!, tha way i see it evry win is earned but the rules state otherwise... so be it

    i specifically noted that ties that would result in the losing party missing the playoff must be determined by a h2h or ffa, no record in previous matchups. too much work went into this by everybody to have someone lose out because they didn't use their best civs, or got horrible map luck, against someone 2 weeks ago. nothing was said on civ choice, although i do believe i stated the civ used would not be available in the next round. i'll double check on that.

    note: i did not clarify that civs used in the tiebreaker become ineligible for the round(s) to follow, just that civs used in round 1 are not eligible in round 2. without that being said i'm going to say use whatever civ you like in the tiebreaker, without losing further use of that civ.

    No China or USA? Soo... everyone will be using Zulu or maybe Spanish it looks like. I still say we all agree on 3 way Russia!

    Yea I read your whole rules post before I said that....the sentence you are refering to was unclear and it mentioned ties being broke by record so I figured Id point it out.....3 is more fn than 2 anyways........GL fellas

    ties broke by record only where the loser wouldn't be excluded from the playoff. i'll work on my clarity next time.

    Now that dan explains it I'm like "why did i read it the other way?"
    also good that that is what we were all assuming during the tourney anyway (well i think it was). I am however happy to play pawk for 2nd seed if anyone wants .

    I say we play bottom ten civs but thats just my opinion... Ohh and thanks dan for not screwing me over I swept Scottie so if he would've tied guess he would've been out as well?

    For host I think we should pick a number between 1-100. Dan will choose the number and whoever is closest is host? If multi gets host it is all over...

    maw won.
    he got in my head and I played badly

    In the zulu game i didnt take advantage of a good start properly.

    the other was my arab vs his aztec.
    nothing special in that one but he had acess to the ai. so he pulled ahead.

    maw has sucessfully moved from bringing out my good games to bringing out my worst ones

    Ill play someone for 4th

    Send scottie a pm with the # between 1-100. That way we can verify it? Have to wait for duke and multi's approval but I don't think they will mind?

    Ahh come on ! Bottom 10 dude! Or do you just want to take all the skill out of this FFA? Thats fine then if you want to. Craps it is then! If one person is going zulu I will go Aztec. If two people are then I have to be Zulu to I say top 6 should be banned to make this game more fun but thats just me...

    I don't mind bottom 10. Was just saying if we go whomever then I'm choosing Zulu as I really don't got time for waiting... This FFA should have been done long ago and the person that is keeping us just so happen is the one with a hefty schedule.

    It is to predictable and certain civs can do better than others on that map. On another note, island starts will be same as regular games? First 2-3 turns seem fair?

    Oh please. It hasn't even been a week. I'm sorry I don't care about Civ enough to play every single day like you?

    Anyways, I asked if we could play Monday (today) at 6 PM CST and neither of you responded. Is this OK?

    Fine by me. I know your busy so I'm not worried. I think we will both be on by then. Hopefully dan checks this out before then. Does the number thing seem okay for choosing who is host?
