Good game everybody. If only you people had bid Liopoil up, forcing a 15 city game winner!

good game everyone.

[Galzria]

Well GG, Bozz has won. Bottom right is going to be so expensive now that none of [liopoil, Galzria, Tables] have a chance.

Here's the discussion thread...which is to say, mostly my analysis of the first few turns as prompted by eHalcyon
http://www.quicktopic.com/49/H/NxJUsrTr4wH

tl;dr
QVist/bozzball didn't expand enough.  It was anyone's game between the other three up to the point where bozzball dropped out.  I tried to analyze the positions among liopoil-Galzria-Tables, but it was based on a lot of speculation.

[Galzria]

I made one big mid game mistake that cost me a full turn really. Bought a plant that I absolutely shouldn't have. And the ~$25 saved could've potentially ended the game a turn sooner.

Beyond that, I was happy with my choices. The only one I can really question is my last plant replacement, but I had to honestly hope that there would be some bidding on #38 against liopoil. I could've bid there instead of #50. Hmm. I'll think about this last turn some. Thing is, I knew Tables was playing to 15,  so I was playing to Theorel's decisions, which I couldn't really know ahead of time. Still, I thought #38 would be a bigger draw.

[Qvist]

I'm pretty pleased with the result of the first time playing this.
I was struggling the first few turns what I should do/prioritize and how all the mechanics work together, but got then a more and more better understanding.
Yeah, I didn't expand enough, I didn't understand how important that was (like you said in the QT).

I enjoyed this although I dislike how much actually is calculating through was. But I would definitely play another game.
Thanks for moderating this.

Yeah, I couldn't really figure what to do.  I mean I couldn't possibly power 15 cities, (I could barely power 14).  I couldn't realistically keep all 3 of you from doing so (certainly since you had the resources for it).  So, I just figured I'd go for 14 powered cities, and forget about anything else.

[theorel]

Also, looking back over the QT thread...liopoil why did you buy the 24 over the 21?

[liopoil]

I was very surprised at your replacement choice Galz. I thought you could power 17 this round.


I thought I was done for when I realized the yellow region was excluded...


Turn 8 not being the last round really helped me. It let me do nothing to stall, to become the last person in the turn order, which really helped.

[liopoil]

I took the 24# because I planned to save two garbage to move to my plant #38 in the last round. okay, but really, I thought that the price of garbage would get cheaper than it did.


Actually, looking back, I said:

but I wanted the windmill!   ahh well; garbage monopoly time

I take 24 for 24

I wanted the windmill, which got pushed out by a cheaper plant. I'm not sure why I wanted the windmill, and bidding on 21 was probably the better move.

[Tables]

Oh, third. I thought I had the money for second, oh well.

Somehow, despite the information being more readily available for analysis by forum, I found I had less grasp on what was going on than in a F2F game. I'm not really sure why... maybe it's just not quite the right game for a PBF.
