After reciving several messages from people, I want to address some important things. This game will be straight up, no bullnuts or cheating or anything. I will NOT be designing my own custom map or manipulating the settings in an unfair way. I am still up in the air for which common map I will be chosing for this event, its looking along the lines of HUB. He said HUB....so no continents.....

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. I am not certain of that Church, the map generator tends to give each civ a reasonable starting location so the team of 17 civs will have at least 17 decent starting locations. But I do have to admit I have no idea what the team of 17 science rate compared to the 1 CIV team science rate is going to be like. Again here the team with 17 cities vs the 1 city team has a HUGE advantage I don't care what the map is. 17 build queues vs 1 - do the math :-D.

truthfully some of us in kc think this idea is stupid. so for me personally sounds like a giant waste of time. its like fighting a drunk when your not drunk. no matter how many times you knock him down he wants to get back up and cause a ruckus.

ROFL
Anyway, I would love to participate just to see his plan. Even though MGT already got what he wanted here whether the game happens or not.

That is so apt, you deserve a nobel prize for perception (or something).

GOD have the numbers, just never able to field them at one time...now if it wasn't an 18 people (long, very little enemy contact and lagged out and most likely to not run at all) I'd go and take MGTs' free reports...I ain't too proud

For anyone interested...
I heard off the grape wine this is how the game went down, first game after 5 turns MGT started crying because the other team could get to him with gallies, then he kept asking for a restart, which the other team agreed to.
Then in the second game (10v1) was a massive waste of time, apprently, 2 turns after (yes 2 turns) after the other team got astronamny they took 3 cites and were just about to take them all and game theory conceedes. He was near the bottom and all gemographs, and before the game started he "garunteed" victory.
pffft, i know so many versus 1 is almost impossible odds, but after all the talk atleast put up a fight.

Well everything was fine except for a few things, first off.... If Military tradition cost me 1000. Instead of it costing the other team of 11 11000 it cost them 5,500. This huge difference in tec really changed things for me. The stratedy used was tweaked towards balanced tec scheme. I had to retool my strat to incorperate this tec difference in, and it makes it far more complex and difficult to pull off now.. The retooled strat should work and I will attempt 1 last one of these in the future which will be ana ctual 17v1 and if it doesnt work than I will give up my quest for glory...

incorrect and really not vague at all - it's VERY specific
you can PLAY UP TO 3 matches per day against one person
from the rules
- 3 Matches Per Day : You can only play the same person 3 times each day. You can play as many different people as you'd like on any given day
(this didn't happen, only "one match" was played)
and..
- BE CAREFUL REPORTING: Ladder Admins will not automatically correct multiple loss reports which have been entered in error. Note that tournament reporting is different from standard reporting - don’t inadvertently report twice. Always be careful reporting
(the reports were NOT entered "in error" but rather intentionally)
Not for me to call though, but I do have the "right" to point it out.

Just to share an observation: MGT is not too shy to try new things, to stretch limits, and to encourage debate. Is this such a bad thing? 11 vs 1 was a cool idea. If it wasn't a cool idea, then how come so many people are posting about it and tried to play it? As 1 of the 11, if have to admit that we thought there was some exploit that MGT might be using, but it was simply that we tech'd at roughly the same rate. The water separation had us racing to get astro... BUT... when we got our free tech from Liberalism, the tech choice went to a random member of the 11 - WHO WAS AFK!!!!!!! When he returned he panicked and picked gunpowder instead of Astro, should have heard the screaming! MGT conceded the game after losing 2 of 5 cities, with a third one under attack by some rascally Viking Berserkers. He made the offer of 3 reports per player to encourage people to play, after all, 1 report to each player didn't seem to be bringing in the curious, so he upped it to 3. Gotta say: MGT may be a s**tdisturber, but it was good fun!
