For the official games, add me...my username is in the OP.

Speaking of which...4PM Eastern on Sunday again?

I'm up for it!

Oh, should I add anyone on steam?

My ID is TrevelyanL85A2.

Who will be available for play tomorrow afternoon?

Ok, I added you but I doubt I'd be free tomorrow unfortunately. I'm Lee McClellan. Dated bad american civil war joke, check!

So Wintermoot, you won the game(s) last week, so what will this week's settings be?

Probably the same as last week. I may try to find something special for the festival next week (if I win again), but it seems like we've come across a good compromise of settings the last few weeks.

Yeeep, I might be available for the game tomorrow but I won't be sure 'til I get home tonight...

Albionix of International Northwestern Union won today's game through both points and concession victory, proving the region's general inexperience with Civ V warfare by steamrolling over virtually everyone.

Additionally, Govindia is banned from the next four weekends of Civ for unsportsmanlike behaviour, which has already been discussed on IRC and I will not get into detail about here.

Criticising someone's behaviour is not unsportsmanlike.  The person with the highest score going against the person with the lowest score is kind of a dick move to do.  I regard that as unsportsmanlike.

I have repeatedly requested on IRC for help in terms of practise, as an AI player is not the same against a human player with experience and skill.  It is not unreasonable for someone to help me with practise before complaining in an irrational manner that I am unsportsmanlike when I am getting frustrated because no one has offered to help me when I have directly requested it.

If anything, Wintermoot here is unsportsmanlike for not helping out new players and being unreasonable in expectations.  It is unreasonable to ban me from four weekends when no attempt was made to help me.  @Wintermoot needs to stop being defensive all the time and emotional and should be more rational rather than passive aggressive, IMHO.

As I said on IRC:
(2015-08-16 16:48:38) Govindia: I disagree with the notion that I drain the fun out of the game.   I have asked for help in this game.  I am new to this game.  The AI is not the same as an experienced human player, and that is why I have asked for help from anyone to help me in a game.  It is not unreasonable to request for a (CONT)
(2015-08-16 16:49:22) Govindia: for a human player to help me with my skills.  It is different than going up against an AI.  I have tried going up against the AI on the Prince difficulty and have failed, even in the Civil War Scenario.  I really need help and practise from a human player to help improve.
(2015-08-16 16:49:40) Govindia: If I get more experienced, I would get less frustration.

Dude, it's a game.

If the air apparently isn't cleared, I think I speak for most when I say it'd be best to handle it in PMs as opposed to airing it out here. That ain't cute.

So may I ask when the next game is?

Probably next Sunday at 4PM Eastern, unless there's a preference for another time.

Would you mind if I added you on steam? I'm Lee McClellan. I know, I know, bad joke.

I've accepted your request.
