This could very well be a Dunning-Kruger Effect, in so far as I think I suck at this game. I think I'll take you up on that offer Schub. :)

I voted for you anyway. :P

Your kindness breaks my heart! :P This post fits into your psychological profile, right? :wink:

Hehe, I don't know, but I can't (won't) vote for myself so that leaves you. :P

Senator is probably better than both of us though.

OK..so if Senator, Schubduse, and I ganged up on you (and possibly Mogwai), maybe we can defeat you?

No, you couldn't.

Why? Because then it would be a 3 (or 4) vs 1, and mathematically all I'd need to do is kill some of each of you while your 'team' would be limited to my population. Or, to make it simple, I'd have 400m to choose from while you'd only have (as a team) 100m to choose from. I kill 101m (25.2%) and you can't win even if you kill 100% of my population. :P

After experiencing some harsh defeats I decided to learn the ins and outs of Defcon. Turns out one of those harsh defeats was indeed because of Yoshi (Asia) nuking me (Africa) in the last 10 victory seconds during a game of Diplomacy. Well played sir.
I'm looking forward to our next game, hopefully you can pass me a tip or two while at it!

That I can do. And I'm very sorry I got greedy there. And truthfully the backstabbing was really uncalled for. To be in truth, IniX, I would have denied any of your requests to kick out members of the Alliance unless that person provoked it first.

But remember...I'm not the best here. There are better players than me.

Every man may meet his match. I for one know I have much to learn. I'm eager to.

As a matter of fact Ace Rimmer and Senator are far better players than me.
True, I was able to beat Ace twice. But this makes it just about 100:2 in favour for Ace.
Against Senator I could only get a draw. But I was Africa and he EU. To mention this is rather embarrassing. :wink:

The following players are or were stastically better players than me. (I might have forgotten someone. No Prince Adam, not you!:wink: ):

(MOR) (retired atm),
Nightwatch,
Senator,
Ace Rimmer,
rus|Mike (retired atm),
Why? (retired atm),
countersmurf,
Mojo,
Mogwai,
mvpe,
Edward,
Forever Young (retired atm),
Mrmot,
LSWP,
GHOST/47,
julian,
Blackbeard (retired atm),
cumiro (retired atm),
Eral (retired atm),
Razorjack (retired atm),
sfericz,
BATTLETRON
Stiffy (retired)
Hyperion (retired),
White Rabbit (retired),
Radiant Caligula (retired),
Jesus (retired)
Hi there (retired)
John the Greek (retired)
Void (retired)
Tobias (retired)

Some players like Groeteschele and R3D have great potential.

No offend but all these players are also better than you atm.
I consider myself belonging to the best 25 ACTIVE players. And I think, every average player could beat be me in an unfair setup.

And btw: There is no lord!


Hey schub, do a challenge with me if u really think to be better than me..

Hey, Schubduse, I think Zorotama is calling you out (in American, it means he's challenging you), you can either fight or flight!

Sure, we can play. But give me a week to train. I'm rusty in playing 1vs1.
