Interesting point CT !
Of course we are getting close to the end of this thread but the whole conversation stayed pretty correct, no real flaming at all.
So who would you ban or warn and for what reason ?

yes, I'd like to know that, too!

[brMy comments about cracker are actually the only on topic comments in the last 30 posts or so.

I disagree.

There were at least 2 squids in that area...

In my game the two squids were near Rome, and my Galley did meet them there.

Whoops! Sorry Col. Maybe I meant that my post was the only one worth reading?

Then threaded the needle making the exact and unlikely sequence of moves that would give you a contact with the other continent before 1000bc.

Enough. We've been here before and nothing has changed or will change. Cracker has gone and Ainwood has taken over.

You ALWAYS found the RIGHT AI at the RIGHT TIME with the RIGHT defender to win.

This time I am clueless. What are these other instances you are talking about?

I have not accused Aeson of anything.
Please Col, get your facts straight. This is your fourth blatant lie in as many posts.

Come on Guido (are you female?),

dont use that word, noone uses it against you either. We can ask
Aeson here if he is right but I think that I read a post of Aeson in
that thread where he says he analysed the save and made his own
conclusions which he took to the GOTM staff:

Aeson start
This really isn't about cracker convincing anyone on the Staff. Most of the incriminating data was produced by my analysis of games, the various utilities we use, and things Ribannah freely posted in spoiler threads. Cracker spent a lot of time analyzing the games again before making a decision, but it was the same conclusion many of the staff had come to before he did so. (in some cases, several months before) If there was 'convincing' going on, it was the other way around.
Aeson end

So, I think that at least the larger part - if not all - what Col is
trying to tell us (Cracker not acting on his own, no conspiracy etc
etc..) is absolutely true...

It might be better to let it rest as discussions like this wont help
you if you ever want to start a PBEM with one of CDZ's members. CDZ
is, after all, set up for playing PBEM's.

Seriously, this is old news. No-one will change their mind, and nothing new will be learned.

CT - you are right in that the modding here is 'different', and I for one am glad of this. Maybe if we had 30,000 members this debate could cause other problems of some kind at the site, but until that is the case I can't think of a reason to close this or warn/ban anyone. I also disagree with Skyfish - people are borderline flaming, but fuck it - we're not here to parent people...

Me and a great many other players. These opportunities always occur shortly before 1000 BC, because that is when you have your first ships out. In two other games my Galley sank and I failed.
Given that the yield from succeeding is usually small I have stopped sending suicide Galleys altogether.

your otehr GOTM games where you always had incredible luck. I personally suspect you played on, then chose the best variant.
