Default Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

this is not a team game... you cannot ask for a team concession.


that's ludicrous.....

in any game i start i could start a cabal on turn20 and say that the first second and third place players are all now on the same team and demand a concession.... (when the reality is the only hope of all the other players for victory is that those top players squabble amongst themselves and take each other out... it sounds insane but it's what always happens)


any turn players could throw their weight behind either you or behind vanheim and i think it would make it quite easy for there to be a sole victor


honestly what you are asking for is just insane... you are asking for people to give you an insanely rare and impossible victory condition when there is another victory condition much much much much easier to satisfy....

right now looking at the game i'd say there's like a 54%chance vanheim wins 43% r'lyeh wins and 2% chance both win at the same time and 1% chance neither win


that doesn't mean that players have to call it a tie between vanheim and r'lyeh.... it means we can try to stop either player from winning so that the other player wins.... i am pretty sure if everyone turns on you that a vanheim victory could be setup and setup quickly... but hey maybe i'm wrong... i just haven't seen any in game evidence of me being wrong about that matter



and we all know you just made this up after you got bored because for the longest time vanheim was bragging about winning a solo victory and doing so alone... so it's not like you guys have been a secret unknown team all along or anything like you make it out to be....

it's obvious you've just bullied vanheim into this position via reputation because you either don't think you can stop him from winning alone or because you are too lazy to win a war against vanheim over the long haul... he was obviously about to win for ages but just never had any confidence in himself on the matter so doesn't care much?


i'd be willing to concede to baalz alone if he had a fairly successful war against vanheim, and i think it's possible vanheim could just flat out win with in the next 5-15turns... i mean i'm willing to admit that i can't win i just don't think the game is enough in hand for a concession...


a concession usually requires one player to control as much as all the others combined.... two players controlling as much as the other 4-5combined is rather a meaningless statistic....
