Mmm... we're slowly edging our way towards game 100. I have some ideas for what we could do for that (but no, saying what they are would be telling at this point!)

Hack the server. 10 player game.

I was actually thinking of having a team game, 2 v 2, combined culture wins.

We'd have to wait weeks between turns. I'm out. 9 player game.

Eh, 2v2 is pretty degenrate unless you apply some major houserules.  All the same problems with 1v1, but compounded by the fact that you can afford to do things like one high/one low military, potentially ignoring otherwise high-priority cards because your second player can grab them for fewer actions, and above all, Pacts.

These are all house-rulable issues, but not necessarily easily so, and not enforceable online, (in particular, the seating should alternate between teams with one team even, one team odd, rather than one team 1&2, the other 3&4, and pacts shouldn't be possible between two members of the same team).

(I speak from experience of having tried it a couple of times)

[Tables]

That all makes sense. Oh well.

In other news, all 6 age I territories in a single game, and I don't think I paid more than 1 unit for each one.

[Drab Emordnilap]

Is there a list anywhere of high scoring games? I got more this game than I ever have before.

Also I don't know if this link works.

[Watno]

Highest I've gotten is 243. My game was 2 turns shorter than yours though.

Often the score from a game fluctuates a lot depending on various factors. It's more the relative edge than the absolute one which matters, I feel.

Highest I've gotten is around 300 I think.

[Joseph2302]

I got 312 once, but it was a peace game (no wars = more culture). My highest proper score is 225 (although I didn't win that game, I lost by over 50 culture); my highest proper winning score is only 215

My friend got 353 in this game. But the game was seriously unbalanced by the fact that it was one of the players' first time and she didn't always make the optimal card choices, leaving the player after her to get almost every card he could have wanted/needed.

[Thisisnotasmile]

Apparently I played a peace game once.

382 points and 12 CAs!

[AHoppy]

#81 is up.  3P, normal

[Joseph2302]

#82 has 1 more space, #83 is full.

[Kirian]

And apparently 45 minutes took care of that!

[Thisisnotasmile]

Not quite. They'd been up since yesterday, I just didn't advertise them. But yeah, they're both full now.

[Kirian]

Well then, 84 is up, 4P global.

Scores vary wildly, particularly depending on whether the beneficial or the painful age events are seeded.  If everyone's super-nice to each other, even without aggressions, then scores can get ridiculous.  I don't have a link, but I recall a 4p game where the winner had over 300 and the loser had over 200.  Whereas some of my tournament games the winner has had <100 points.

[AHoppy]

85 is up, 3 player standard

[Jack Rudd]

78 finished in a tie for first, which is very unusual. It might not have done had Tables not kindly seeded Impact of Technology for me when I'd researched eight level III techs.

[Drab Emordnilap]

I think I seeded that one, actually. And I'm pretty sure I seeded it before you had computers. ._.

I seeded impact of Competition - which I did reasonably on - but it caused Impact of Strength to come up, which I would have gotten 5 culture more had it come up later. I didn't seed Technology - I had 4 science production at best in age III .

Just looked back on that game, and, wow, Drab really gave you the game there. You got 34 culture over me just from the events he seeded. In fact, you got 34(!) more culture out of his events than he got himself.

Well, I still won, so I can't complain too much. But I'll be sure to line a few aggressions up for you next time Drab .

I promise, I never seeded an event that gave other people more points than it would have given me, at that time anyways. What am I, a Soothsayer?

I will seed an event that gives no more than 3 to someone else.  Because I still come out ahead
