What is your win percentage in six-player games?

Now lets try to be honest. In six player (all or mostly human) games, not 1v1 or 2v2 or anything non six player, what percentage of games do you win? Specifically, that means your name is first on the board at the end.

I tend to save screen shots at the end of every game, base on those, I would say approximately 60% of the time for me.

Also, post your in-game name.

Doesn't matter the mode, default, diplomacy, survivor, genocide, speed....

I'd say it's likely to be about 16.7%. Cause in a six player game, one player will win...

I honestly have no flippin clue. Not even a little one.

It's less than 100%, of that I'm sure. I know I've won more than one, but haven't kept count...

Well, I'm not completely sure, even because I don't play for a while. But I'm saying about 30-40.

I'm chaotic good. If I have to backstab to save my people, I will ;)

I reckon I'd be chaotic neutral - go with the highest bidder.

Honestly, I have no idea what percentage I win, but it's probably - by pure coincidence - one in six.

I'm chaotic evil. If I could sell my people for nukes, I would ;)

I chose 0-10%, but the last two games I hosted were diplomacy games and I won both.
(well the first there was a CPU player at the top, but that doesn't count for me ;) Plus 1 min more would have let my nukes make contact.. :) )

That hardly counts as a win. :P
"50 minutes and I woulda fired my nukes and destroyed him so I would have won, just the dumbass set the timer too short" :)

No it does, since I had leveled all his defenses up north and nukes could hit freely :)
Anyways, first human is how I considered it :D

I tried being Lawful Neutral for a while...

It got boring not being able to do anything at all...

Although irl I am a chaotic neutral kind of person, atm playing lawful good so I can just focus on bettering micromanagement/strategy over the diplomatic side of the game, and takes out a whole section of thinking..but I'd say overall low win percentage because I'm trying to learn naval battles and tend to engage in stupid situations just to practice them, thus losing many nukes and a huge advantage.
