Tommy I almost killed you in that 2v1 vs you an germania and it was by the luck of god that you happen to see those 4 chariots on a mountain or it would have been lights out and you would have felt ashamed for life. I Have also considered making this a conquest victory condition only game in order to make this as difficult as possible for myself........ shhhhhhhhhh tony, let tommy wallow in his ignorance Bantams - its 17 people as agreed - non of this 3 nuts.

Well mgt, if the number "17" (as agreed by you, lol) is the magic number and your focal point for this, you're in for a big disapointment.
17 players is more than 70% of our clan, one of the FEW clans that has members both in C3 and C4.
as with any clan here on C4, we don't have 17 active players in C4.
Consequently, I've encouraged our clan to NOT participate in "your game" in an effort to prevent you from making your public challenge itself the actual "game" you are playing instead of "CIV4"
So, as you posted, the game is now knutz
as CS posted to you in the begining of this forum thread regarding your "challenge" -
Personally, I think even Helen Keller (God rest her soul) could beat you as even she can see through your intentions
So, have fun in ALL the games you play, but next time, only try to involve KC when it's ONLY a ladder game you're interested in.
(btw, each KC member giving you THREE (3) reports (as was ijncluded in your challenge here if we lost) is against both ladder rules and Case's rules - got a problem with that, take it up with both the administration here and Caes's ladder)
Enjoy!

Silly MGT, why would KC agree to this? not only would it be a waste of their time, they'd have nothing to gain and everything to lose . If we treat this as an expected values excercise, treating your chances of victory as "p" which is certainly quite low but still positive, then the expected value for KC would be (1-p)0 <--- if they win, the 0 is there because they get absolutely zilch if they win, wow they won a 17v1, not exactly impressive at all , that 1 reported win from you is pretty much worthless imo and P(-Z) if you win, which tho p is incredibly small imo, it's still some negative thingy cuz they would be somewhat embarrassed the sum would of course add up to a negative value which does make it not a good move for KC

MGT is Curly from "Of Mice and Men" who is small, but handy with his fists and always challenging big guys to a fight. If he wins, ain't he good at fighting, if he losses, well the guy showed pluck. If KC win, no big deal if KC lose, humiliation. Massive respect for KC my arse.

I would think that if a 1 v 17 player game was his true interest, he could certainly put up one in the lobby, either ladder or open game
with the mods, there are several games that large during any given week and if this were indeed his interest, I think others may jump at the chance
in fact, if he REALLY wants a 1 v 17 match, he should offer up one of his cash tournies and watch them fly into that $$match$$
But, neither the 1 v 17KC will happen, now will his lobby ladder or open game 1 v 17, nor a 1 v 17 cash tourney
if it's a true "challenge" he wants, he certainly woudn't have to look very far

lol, you people are ridiculous. Ok, so I guess KC is scared of the challenge, which is perfectly understandable Pooky your equation is incorrect because your not factoring in (x) which is the personal satisfaction that MMV and some other players will receive for actually beating me in a game + you have to factor in the satisfaction and accomplishment that the 17 will receive for being allowed to play in a game with MrGameTheory, when you factor in these 2 variables you get ! which is in direct ratio = to #, which is equal to Pie * LYX and the amount of time it takes for train B to meet Train A at point Y while both Leave K at approximatly the same interval of 4p^13. the fact of the matter is, people believe I can actually win a 17v1 and some people are making up worthless lame excuses and that my friends, is golden.... I would consider offering some kind of cash prize for something like this, but obviously I would have to give them like 5x1 odds in order to make it fair. In the end its all about having fun and a good time, and I guarantee that every person who enters that game will have a great time, and it would be a grand bonding experience for the entire clan If you guys get up the courage, hit me up....... As for the rest of you ladderites, If you have a group of 17 willing to step up to the plate i am ready.

I'd be interested as what the definition of MAD RESPECT that MGT has of KC. That many of them still play despite never getting any better? 17 vs 1 would be an awesomely boring game, most likely lagged to hell and we all know what MGT is trying to rely upon.

An 18 player game is going to take at least 8 hours to even come close to completing, probably more. Let's say I'm worth $15/hr. For this waste of time I would have to get paid at least $120(times 17 to cover all the players) and if it goes more than 8 hours, I'm on overtime, and thats going to really cost you. And if we kill you in an hour my union contract states I recieve 4 hours pay just for showing up. Maybe you can find 17 illegal imigrants to play you for a couple bucks an hour.
Edit:
Just in case you missed my point, let me ask you this. Would you waste your time playing a game that had you on the 17 player team?

lol. This is the guy who starts a match saying "who wants to die first" before getting stomped by half a player. Maybe try learning how to beat one person before you try 17. I thought the afk thread was the most ridiculous crap I'd read but looks like a new contenter, and on the same forum. I am so lost. Why are you people encouraging this monkey and entertaining this? Don't any of you actually play Civ4?!? Here's a little secret I'll share. It's gonna be a real revelation so everyone make sure you brace yourself for it... YOU CAN'T BEAT 17 PEOPLE IN CIV4 16 never-played-civ-b4 geriatrics from the local old peoples home are guaranteed to win as long as one random person with all of 5 games under their belt is there to utizise that awesome wisdom and utter the command "every knob attack". My guess is the monkey's plan is to set it on long turns and go afk. When everyone cracks it he contact his buds to force the reports. Stop feeding the monkey and it will stop dancing. MiseryMachine.

Oh MGT wouldn't start on the same continent, nope it'd have to be where he gets an equal continent in size to the one the other 17 inhabit. The problem for the team horde will be getting the tech to reach MGT who maybe doing some lamoid culture win or something.

I'm thinking he will go 2 small team continents with 17 players on 1 and him on the other On such a map (with a pre-astronomy start anyways) the single player would arguably have the advantage.
