Anyway, it's well known that ESOC is nespostistic. You picked Zoi because he's a close friend to you, not because he's any competent. I picked him for the reasons I mentioned earlier, that is vast knowledge of the game, attention to detail, a good grasp on game design, ability to constructively dis...

u54 Of course you're free to disagree with the approach, the changes, and whatever else. In turn I disagree with your approach. To make a difference, you should try to find compromises and work with people rather than against them. If you really think someone will still listen to you after you flam...

When we started it made sense to stay as close to RE as possible. This was, in fact, a requirement in order to get a lot of key people on board with the idea of a new patch in the first place. The reasons were: - We wanted to make it easier for people to switch from RE to EP and back - It was easier...

Absolutely it would. Positive sentiment about the economy is pretty much Trump's saving grace. His supporters often bring up how well it's doing under his admin. Of course, he inherited it.

It was the largest midterm popular vote margin in US history. But definitely keep telling yourself that it's nothing special, and thanks for proving my point

We're up to +40 seats for dems now. Potentially more with this mess in North Carolina. Interestingly, right-wing media have not really been admitting how huge of a loss this election was for them. There is still a widespread illusion that these were "mixed" results, and neither party reall...

You also can't get to where Caruana was just by preparing well. Seems unfair to characterize him as an extension of the engine he uses to prepare. He's a great player with probably a long career ahead of him.

He supposedly mentioned in the press conference that he found no way to turn his position into a win, that Caruana had an easy defense. Didn't look that way to me but I guess that makes sense. Yeah it's always possible he would blunder. But then again I would say in rapid time controls the odds of h...

Now that I've looked at the tiebreak format I do find it strange that Magnus offered a draw there. Sure he has a big edge in blitz but first they play a best of 4 with time controls where Caruana would be relatively okay I think (25min + 15sec per move). All it takes is Caruana winning 1 game there ...

That was an interesting draw offer from Carlsen. He figures he wins the tiebreak because he's better at faster time controls so he offers a draw in a position where he is better because that would be hard to refuse for Caruana, and of course there's a cance of Carlsen blundering and giving the game ...

11/11 draws What a shit game I have been watching whenever I can. Chess24 has a great stream, they have 3 2750+ players commentating at the same time. Their play has been quite accurate most of the time but interestingly, so far both of them seem to be performing better with black. Something about p...

Pioneer cdb > rods it's known

For quick reference: ⋅ 200 food added to starting crates. ⋅ 200 wood removed from starting crates. ⋅ "Crates of 100 Food, 100 Wood, and 100 Coin" infinite shipment increased to 200f, 100w, 100c. ⋅ "Crates of 200 Food, 200 Wood, and 200 Coin&quo...

French age with already a 1.5v advantage and they either get to send the vill shipment earlier or have earlier market ups. By the time you get to send 4v, which costs a shipment btw, they are probably at least equal in eco. Spain does have rods which are good if French make xbow/pike/huss rather tha...

i can do the iro WHO DIS?!?? 21 21 21 Anyways, dno why you guys give Iro this bad name, it's winnable xd Ive got some hidden strats up my sleeve! Yeah there's a reason we haven't buffed them much despite them consistently being rated among the worst 5 civs. Glad you are playing again. You should li...

WHO DIS?!??

The "difference from previous poll" trend is a good indicator as well. It's very likely that if there is a significant trend there, it would continue in the next poll. From that you can somewhat reliably conclude which civs are under- or overrated.

I didn't say you did lol. You're missing out is all

You deserve it if you bought that shitcoin

Seriously though you should try other games. In no universe is Risk the best of its genre.

Yes, and ive repeatedly said i have interest in theorycrafting. Yet you keep responding, but not really responding, to my posts. Id rather play. It's easy for you to say though isn't it. You actually like the game... I can think of about 50 other things I would rather spend my time on. One of them ...

According to you you can force the correct decisions on us No that's not how it works. You forget that my argument is theoretical and relies on people playing perfectly. In a 4p game if there is a player who has an advantage and needs dealt with, the only way to force the 4th player into action is ...

They're an indication.

Whatever gs, keep dreaming. Youve just been repeating the same blabber for days. I couldve defeated you in 4 games in that duration. Snuden wants to play. Im sure jerom would join for the experiment. Otherwise, just stop talking nonsense. And you've been not responding for days, including this time...
