Hello cyber95, or Robust Laser, and welcome to Tally Hall, wherever that is.
I hereby order and command you to read and then judge this post,
based on the power granted to me by it being my birthday today.
That was a lie, actually. It is not in fact my birthday today.
You could say you have been "taken for a ride," as they say.
Or you could not say it. Whatever. It does not matter to me.
My next command, even though my power was false, is check this out:
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Sa

Spoiler0w0 what's this? wuv wuv. And so on and so on.
nd.
These are pretty good rules, I assume. You are the best at rules!
I would include a haiku here, except for that it would not work.
Not with the broader construction of this post, which is just too unfortunate.
In conclusion, I hope "Sa" and "nd" are counted as two separate words.

RE: Post making contest - Sruixan - 09-24-2016
This is episode #1.
I'm tired. I have a headache. I had to interact with people today. But there's a new series of Yogscast civ. So here we go; an extra-grumpy commentary edition. You have been warned.
- oh bless it's patently obvious they've scraped the bottom of the civ battle and have pulled out the ones they've never played
- RYTHIAN IS DENMARK
- DO YOU REALISE HOW HAPPY THAT MAKES ME
- Sjin: "make Ben be Brazil!" uhh
- Ben: "what about Portugal, what do they do?" Sjin: "they win!" uhhhhhh
- Sjin: "Be Venice!" Ben: "you literally can't be Venice!" THIS IS TRUE THEY ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE NQMOD
- Lewis, playing Songhai: "I don't even know who the Songhai are!"
- Lewis, google. Google, Lewis.
- HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE LEARNING THAT TIMBUKTU IS A REAL PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME
- Lewis: "I always get (Timbuktu) confused with Tipperary" *eye-twitch*
- Sjin: "should you move to a hill when that takes you off a river?" Ben: "you should move to a hill that's on a river" um
- Sjin, playing Carthage, hearing Ben's "advice", hovers over the NONCOASTAL river hill SJIIIIIIN
- see the thing is they've all learnt the idea that settling on a hill is good but none of them know why
- how to defeat Ben, the second-most feared player: point out his lisp
- oh Rythian your flatland pearl start you poor thing
- RYTHIAN'S GAME IMMEDIATELY CRASHED
- IT SAW HOW SHIT THAT START WAS AND PROMPTY STALLED
- THEY FORGOT TO ENABLE TURN TIMERS
- right forget all of the above it was terrible
- Lewis: "I had a great start! I had citrus and silver and stone..." Sjin: "Yeah, I had unicorns!"
- um guys these are not jokes you are making
- BEN YOUR START THAT IS SO BAD FLAT DESERT INCENSE AND FLAT RESOURCELESS TUNDRA AND IF YOU MOVE OFF COAST YOU LOSE YOUR SINGLE WHALE QUICK CRASH YOUR GAME
- okay Lewis your settler is not supposed to be able to start on an oasis
- RYTHIAN'S GAME CRASHED AGAIN
- *insert the passage of time here again*
- Lewis: "I had that niche bug where civ crashes when you hit "Load Game"" the sarcasm is dripping like a Dickensian candle
- Turn 2: the game has been loaded in seven distinct sessions
- ...did Lewis run his settler away from all his bonus resources just to get a river hill?
- Sjin, the wonderwhore: "Wonders aren't worth going for"
- RYTHIAN'S CITY IS STARVING AT POP ONE WHAT THE ABSOLUTE SHITTING FUCK
- JESUS CIV
- COPENHAGEN HAS -2 BASE FOOD
- HE JUST GOT A POP RUIN
- all this reloading killed the game
- Sjin: "I think every game's different, you just have to adapt"
- make that eight distinct sessions
- GAME THREE BEGINS
- Duncan, the Iroquois with a forest bias, has no forest in sight this time
- I'm so confused
- SJIN DON'T SETTLE ON DEER
- NOBODY IS CAPABLE OF CONVEYING INFORMATION WITH EACH OTHER I CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU GUYS
- Sjin: "Reddit's having an orgasm over this conversation"
- BASICALLY PYRION SAID "UM 1+1=1?" AND LEWIS REPLIED, IN A MINUTE-LONG ESSAY, "NO YOU DUMB-DUMB 1+1=3"
- Duncan: "Rythian, you've got to build some soldiers this time!" Rythian: "I don't know how to do that!" Pyrion: "I couldn't have asked for a better neighbour!"
- RYTHIAN IS SALTY THAT BEN CHOSE SWEDEN SO HE WAS FORCED TO PLAY DENMARK INSTEAD MY SIDES
- and Ben and Lewis are really close together hmmmmmm
- SEVEN TURNS IN EVERYTHING'S STILL WORKING
- this time Pyrion "Vapemeister" Flax has the flat desert incense
- I haven't understood any of the past minute and that's not just because of the dreadful accents
- Lewis: "What've you been doing Sjin?" Sjin: "I've just been building scouts! I don't know where Rythian is yet, but I'm gonna find him soon!"
- RYTHIAN SPEAKING IN A DALEK VOICE SAYING "MISLEADING TOOLTIP"
tl;dr - I needed this

RE: Post making contest - Sruixan - 09-25-2016
This is scenario #4.
I had set aside today to work on scraph, and then that plan got scuppered by me being unwell. I could have told you this might happen yesterday, but I hate acknowledging being ill and so spent most of it pretending that everything was fine. That was a mistake; I do not like being ill, especially when it means I have to be in dashing distance of the loo at all times, and I have not necessarily made it easy on myself, but ho hum. I did at least get to spend my time today completing Diamond Heights:
Diamond Heights: this is the scenario that, if you have any familiarity with these games whatsoever, you will know of - it's the one that starts the title sequence, with its steel duellers Agoraphobia and Claustrophobia in black and white and their companions Arachnophobia and, um, Doppelganger. The nostalgia is tangible. It's also a horrible scenario to take seriously - the general park layout is atrocious, you have to close a minimum (I think) of three pathing loops to stop the guest pathfinding AI from short-circuiting, your expansion room is placed badly and densely forested, you have to research the existence of drinks, and one of the duellers was always guaranteed to crash unless you tore their back ends up and broke their timing. Except in my playthrough they didn't. I blame OpenRCT2.
The objective is to achieve a park value of £20,000 by the end of the third year, which basically means build £20,000 worth of stuff after depreciation. Actually the goal was £200,000 because RCT2 multiplies the park value by ten for reasons. You really do just need to keep building in order to beat the scenario - I hit the goal for the first time as year two kicked in and ended at ~£350k. As always, it was a case of devoting the last three months to shrubbery, hence the seemingly rather final paltry bank balance. A fair bit of the effect gets lost when you zoom out, sadly, but this is definitely a park where you need to; it's pretty huge! Especially with me having expanded to the left, with the woodie Hylophobia and the inverted coaster Aviophobia. And, um, the obligatory shuttle loop, Trypophobia. Hylophobia's definitely the best of my lot - its excitement was pushing 8 after scenery...

RE: Post making contest - Sruixan - 09-26-2016
This is episode #2.
- I'm assuming the only reason Ben's being so loose-lipped about King Solomon's Mines is that he knows full well that city state will end up with it...
- (actually it might be rushable depending on how fast Stockholm can pump a settler out... I doubt it though)
- they are going to spend the entire series pronouncing son-gah-ee wrong aren't they
- I love how people still aren't able to tell when a unit has used up all its moves for a turn and then they try to send it somewhere and get quietly confused as to why their action wasn't registered. It's the best.
- Sjin: "City spot number two get!" cue me squinting at Sjin's view trying to figure out what the heck he's talking about
- ...he doesn't realise that the hex his archer's on is not a legitimate spot to settle on since he hasn't met the city state that's too close. Ah.
- Duncan: "Is Carthage a good coastal civ then?" Sjin: "Yeah! We're all about elephants!" um
- Sjin has just learnt that Carthage get free harbours in their coastal cities.
- HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY CARVE UP A PIECE OF LAND: DO NOT USE ANY GEOGRAPHICAL SLASH DIRECTIONAL DESCRIPTORS WHATSOEVER SO THAT BOTH PARTIES THINK THEY'VE GOT THE SAME PATCH OF TURF
- Ben please Lewis can't see your cursor stop circling the bit you want
- Duncan: "I think my civilisation's music is just a guy shaking a rattlesnake" Lewis: "...you mean a rattle?" Duncan: "No, it's got a lot of hissing as well!"
- Since Duncan just got Pottery from a ruin and is researching The Wheel, I'm thinking he is greeding Petra big time. Eh. It'll help
- Sjin: "Fucking Genoa, every game." Duncan: "No, I don't"
- Ben: "What is Genoa anyway? Is it a real place?" Sjin: "Ah, see, it's the old name of Geneva..."
- And Sjin got Writing as his third tech... but is building a settler instead of... you know what...
- The first footballing rivalry that springs to Lewis's mind is Norwich versus Ipswich.
- THIS IS THE TWENTY-SOMETHINGTH SERIES WHY ARE THEY STILL CONFUSED WHEN THEY APPARENTLY DON'T GET ANYTHING FROM A RUIN
- BEN THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "DUD-HUT" YOU GOT CULTURE
- I have not heard of the thing Pyrion is describing as being new to America is it a thing for version 11?
- Lewis: "But you don't start the game with a settler?"
- Sjin: "You know, I wish you guys weren't in this game. I wish it were just me." Ben: "...if only there were an option for that..."
- yeah Pyrion's googled it it's a v11 thing jolly good
- I have not been paying attention to people's policy trees what are they and why are they all tradition
- Ben: "Why do you hate telling the truth so much Lewis?" well see you are playing a game where it is not always advantageous to tell the truth
- Rythian pretending he might want to attack Lewis is so precious
- Rythian, suddenly: "YONKS!" Lewis: "...what happened?" Rythian, quietly: "Nothing. Um. I don't know."
- Sjin is trying to steal Duncan's escorted settler whilst he hasn't got an escort for his own and thus can't move it out of his capital due to the oncoming barbarians. Hah.
- Duncan's plan for getting Petra means that he does not have the techs to improve his luxuries and thus he's just gone unhappy from settling his second city. He does realise he has no real competition for Petra, right? He can afford to research Mining!
- Rythian: "At the risk of sounding like a noob, I have to ask" (okay fair enough) "if I chop the forest on a luxury resource down, does the luxury go away?"
- Pyrion: "Yes" Sjin: "Yes" Lewis: "Depends what luxury"
- NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
- The resource itself will never disappear - chopping the forest will simply revert the tile back to whatever terrain is underneath. So if you chop a plains forest, your yields do not change, whereas chopping a grassland forest loses you a hammer but gains you a food. In the case of Rythian's truffle camp, it's a plains forest, so by chopping he loses nothing in terms of the yield but actually gains the one-off production boost from the chop!
- (and if you're thinking "well why would you not just always chop plains forests on luxuries?" consider (a) defensive bonuses slash sight obstructions for invaders (b) in the mod you can get things like the pantheon for plus one faith from forests)
- Lewis almost figured this out, eventually. Almost.
tl;dr - none of these people know how to play this game and that's okay
