Looks like he's getting great use out of the Scientific Theft Pact too.

Mmm, one of my favorites!

I'm sure it's not such a terrible Pact in face to face play, but online the only chance you get to cancel it is right at the beginning of your turn when you've not been paying attention to the game for the past 12 hours and have forgotten it exists. You play an event/aggression from your hand because that's what you do on your political action and then only when it's too late do you remember that you needed to cancel that pact because it no longer benefits you.

I agree, it can be quite rough if you're not sitting there watching your science get drained. It's not terrible in PBF, but on BGO where you just "check-and-go", it can be quite easy to miss.

[Kuildeous]

I sometimes feel like Leonard from Memento when I play on BGO. I just kind of wander in, look at the current game state, and move pieces around with no concern for what happened earlier.

Although, at least Leonard is smart enough to tattoo his life on his body. I don't even use the notes section on BGO.

Started Round 4 game for Qvist, Jorbles and me.

[Kirian]

Typing something resets everything in other tabs.  Including the units you were going to sacrifice to turn a four-token loss into a two-token gain.

I won't even be playing that one out, so you two be prepared for discards to increase to three per round.

[Kirian]

I put up my 4th-round tourney game, as well as f.DS 25 Global, 4P, we'll see if we have takers.

Meanwhile, I've decided I'll stick out the third tourney round, though my prospects are dim.

[Tables]

Should be F.Dstrategy 26, I'm already playing in #25 .

[Tables]

Also, currently playing my housemate on TtA... I'm at 33 yellow tokens currently. It's a no wars/aggressions game, but I was seeding those territories...

Well damn.

[Jorbles]

End of game

Check the journal to get the final impacts effects :
Impact of Wonders
Impact of Progress
Impact of Architecture

WINNER IS JORBLES AS GREEN (130 PTS)
2nd is Kuildeous as Purple (109 pts)
3rd is Kirian as Orange (84 pts)

Hooray! I got pretty lucky I admit. Kuildeous and Kirian made some mistakes, Kirian misclicked during a war with Kuildeous and Kuildeous fumbled finishing Fast Food Chains, which if he'd finished he would have gained more than enough to beat me. I'll take it though!

That tab-reset thing is really unfortunate. Kirian is my new hero for sticking it out.

Yay!  I win at something!

Round 4 game 3, looks very close. And TINAS' tactic seems to be at odds with his actual troops.

[Tables]

Sometimes you just don't draw a good tactics card

(Note: I didn't draw a tactics card in age I)

This is pretty much what's happened. I only played a tactics card at all because I had one in my hand, my hand was at it's limit and I had 4+ MAs left after I'd done everything I wanted to in the turn. It was either play one, or discard it. Figured I may as well play it just incase it helps in future.

And in the end, hey, I'm running with an Age I tactics right now.

I'm still trying to figure this game out in general... feeling *soooo* bad at it.

But you're still going to win. Even with your epic miscount.

Nah, I have a feeling that, like my last game when it ended, I'll be crushed by events.  Given that all the events have been played by Jack.  It also comes down to this last territory.

[Kirian]

Wow, I really expected the Impacts to have more of an... impact, I guess.

I was quite worried that you had a Plunder or Raid in your hand as I was bidding that territory up... I had one of each, so I figured you had a good chance of not having one.  And I had no bonus cards... that last bid of 14 was the highest I could go.

[Thisisnotasmile]

I had an Armed Intervention. If you bid any higher I was going to let you have it and take 7 instead. I really should have rebuilt that Cavalryman to block the retaliatory aggression, though. My Journalism -> Multimedia upgrade cost me 4 of 5 resources I had at the time and gained me 1 culture. I should have disbanded  my, at that point unnecessary, Philosophy and built a Cavalryman instead. For me that's a net gain of -1 Culture, -2 Science (and I was almost certain Jack had seeded Science based events... although I should have known he hadn't because I had IoScience in my hand and had played IoTechnoloy myself...). For that loss you would never have been able to finish your wonder and score 19 culture.

I would have had it by 4 points. Well played though, I don't deserve the win. I didn't play well at all that game (and it wasn't helped by my planning an aggressive start and then not drawing a single helpful tactics card all game).

Am I right in thinking the final game hasn't started yet? I can't find it anywhere. (Qvist > Jorbles > Watno final scores please) Found it. Could someone in the game change the name so it follows our convention?

[Thisisnotasmile]

And just to triple post, I would like to propose a challenge. Watno, I challenge you. The rules of the challenge are thus: Myself, Watno and one other player will play a game. Watno can choose the rules of the game (i.e. set the game up how he pleases). Watno will succeed in the challenge if he wins the game. Watno will fail in the challenge if he does not win the game (for the first time ever). Myself and "one other person" will jointly succeed or fail in a similar fashion. We will play the game with the goal of "Do not let Watno win" in mind, not caring who wins between us.

Do you accept?

If so, we need a "one other player".

[ipofanes]

I'd gladly volunteer as the "one other player".

[Watno]

Renaming done, will think about that challenge.
