Hi Mel
Am I to understand, that you would like us to write here - rather than directly in Trello ?

I will take Master-Null ;) at his word, and do nothing about the Congress.

I haven't met Benny yet, in our Tourmatch, but I'm sure, I'll be to soon, when I do :)

first session - why is that a relevant destinction CB ?

When you are the leader of the congress you have to, always
- exclude the two bonus delegates, that you came by
dishonestly - or at least its unclear how you got them.

And you're telling me, that omitting to use those two delegates will be visible to all players ?

No idea, How to do this practically. How would I do it. On the other hand how would I asses whether my opponent has done it - if he were th first found

No, way should that happen - the world congres only make sense in a multiplicity of nations. We need to ban the use of it imidiately as the tourney kicks the loser to the curb the could be devastating - it could be the thing that tips the balance to the side of the WC leader without any merit.

Thanks guys that helped my uncertainties a lot.
This really is a completely different game, when played like this.
In my normal games the two first Era's are dedicated to peace and building up
- this phase will be over in a matter of very few turns. It's fasinating.

For the amateurs amongst us:
How many turns in a match - a Marathon game is 1500 - how many turns are these ones.

How big is Tiny - I'm used to Huge Maps - How many cities will I have room for on what will then be my land ?

I'm not formulating the question well - but could some of you Tiny, Quick men (did you see what I did there wink-smile - I'm so funny really am)
please, find it in your heart, answer me, so I can try to prepare for this game...
It's gonna be fun .... for benny

No, I agree, if some Civs will have an advantage - it would be the ones with special units who come into effect in the late game - like Americans - B52s

I will get beaten not because of my - civs abilities - but because I cannot play on Quick speed & small maps - my default style is ant style - pop many cities - outproduce my opponent - doesnt work here - but as I said - I will enjoy getting beaten to pulp :)

Dang - Rilli - you are a full-on pro at this. I'm impressed.
I know I gonna flunk out, 1st round, but dang, it's been a pleasure being part of it, even before it start. Cudos, Rilli

Can I somehow avoid being taped for Youtube - while PrimEvalCIV beats the bejesus out of me. My mother has always hoped I'd be famous, but I'd rather not be famous, that particular way. As THAT guy. As the guy who was beaten in four turns. Can the recording somehow be avoided ? Is there a release form of sorts.
