[Mini] Phallization - Game Over! Babylonian, Egyptian and Celtic Victory!
Posts
We didn't really have proboards, as both Suki and I got subbed in within a 24 hour period (roughly).
hi5 Egyptians for doing most of the work for us!

Even if you didn't accept my World Wonder suggestion.
EDIT: Oh, right. Celts. Someone fed you info on Rainfall, I assume?

It really wasn't last minute. I pm'd everyone in our alliance that day and told them that we should vote you out since you were either a roman, greek, or Persian.
I just wanted it to seem like we were bandwagoning you for voting for kime, since I actually do dislike kimewagons.
You screwed up by calling a kimewagon before he voted for Kime though.
And we kinda weren't sure where to stand on you, OS... Which is why we catapaulted you.
We had no fucking clue how to use Zerinan's improvement, though.

Psolms and I had a four way alliance going. Psolms told me he found a roman, wouldn't say who, because he had a none aggression pact with her.
Ahava wasn't online and I knew Arivia was a Persian. Logic is fun.
EDIT: That's ridiculous, ddj.
So, why'd you kill Kistra the next day? =p
I don't remember the exact reason for the hit on rainfall, but all the info psolms got on Day 1 pretty much went 100% to dune.
before day 1 was over psolms and dune had revealed their entire teams to each other.
That was why I was able to still be in contact with them after they died.
I revealed to Lonely and Delmain hoping they were german, and it turned out they were.
I had already known SS was a bab, so basically on Day 2 i was in contact with the babs and celts.
On day 3 I lost my power so I decided to network since i was hoping someone would waste a kill on me instead of our capital. We had so many kills to use that in the process of confirming all the targets with everyone and revealing to Delmain and ahava gave me a pretty much full list of all my allies.
Then it just became a good old game of X unknowns and X kills.
PMs and the like will be up tomorrow morning if anyone cares for that sort of thing. The full list of units that were assigned and the like. Take it upon yourselves to unlock and link proboards.
This was fun to host, but the one major issue for me was the fact that I'd designed it in such a way that there was hardly any point in posting in the thread when most of the discussion was in PMs, Proboards and IRC. I'll have to try and find a way to make more discussion arise if I try anything similar to this in the future.
This was a great 2nd phalla.
really? I thought he had already voted for kime before it took off on him?
I thought he was like the 2nd vote.
*ahem* I NEVER ACTUALLY VOTED FOR KIME! Not once did the name "kime" show up in any of my posts with red coloring.
Since we had been working with Dune from the beginning I wasn't going to throw them under the bus to the germans when at the time of revealing to them, they didn't even tell me they still had a kill.
My plan had been to toss the germans under the bus to the celts on the last day ( i believe one of my egyptians went ahead and did this after I died). I would have gladly sold them out to Arivia if she would have traded me some greeks or romans.
Also sorry delmain and ahava, if we had gotten in contact with you earlier it might have been different.
Oh man that is awesome. You got voted out for "kimewagoning" without voting for him. I like it.
So grudge'd.
Treaties were only available if there were certain units or improvements in your city, and there were conditions in place that meant that those who made treaties had to ally against their enemies.

Ridiculously awesome.
I was dead. I have no idea why. At that point the Celts knew Ahava was a German so I was surprised when she didn't die. But there was a definite Romans first policy that Psolms and I initially set up.
Full vig+vote null vs Full seer + limited vig (that if it didn't work would probably mean they weren't your enemy at least before guards come into play)?
I'd probably take the latter over the former.
He said he'd post it in the morning, Sugar Water.
I feel like the power balance was fine. This game was all about making the alliances with 2 other tribes.
Basically any tribe could ally with 2 others and agree to kill 4 other civs to win.
This is what we figured out about day 2. However, with Arivia compromised we had no real way to know who was ally and who was enemy. B:L tried to do some moves, and got nuked for his troubles.

I'm talking individual civ to civ. Yeah, you're supposed to ally, but if you've got the weaker powers, who really wants you?

Oh man that would have been awesome. Honestly I really thought Spork was going to screw us at some point just because.
I'm not saying i never considered trying to screw him over before he did it to us.
You persians really could have capitalized on that.
I feel like a mid game backstab in both alliances would have been awesome. Considering at that point most people should have already known who everyone was more or less anyway. The jump in ship wouldn't have been as huge a deal.
Egyptians and Persians team up to kill Babs
Babs and Greeks team up to kill Egyptians
I am REALLY surprised that isn't how it ended up when i saw that the greeks had peace making abilities.
Day 3 was a low point.. go look at my posts. I was depressed because I felt so absolutely helpless, and was essentially praying that I'd live if nothing else. Then I didn't.

And yet the Celts won, despite having the worst starting ability.
Backstabbing people you are working with and who know who you are is rather risky though, with a high chance of being bloody. It didn't work out too well for the Germans, who thought that Spork was a Roman.
Better to ally against people who don't know who you are.
I dont understand what this had to do with anything.
Everyone in my alliance knew she was greek. Since she was guarded and revealed she would have made the perfect diplomat to anyone else.
She could have pm'd everyone in the game and tried to make alliances without worrying about getting killed.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this was an imbalanced game, I'm just commenting how, if I had a choice, I'd have picked the Babylonian's power set over the Roman's almost in a heartbeat is all.
EDIT: Backstabbing doesn't work out well if you plan to win future games.
For example, the only words you should ever believe coming from Spork are "I am a neutral, with a survival win condition".

He's to busy altering them.

Thanks for Running Dai. <3
