Well, if the upload schedule is daily like the previous games, then I imagine I can provide... otherwise I am pretty confident that I can string several hundred words together into something vaguely resembling a shadow of a simulacrum of a Real Good Post with actual merit and content that is worth your while to read...

- Sjin is more experienced in terms of number of games than the rest of them combined, and still manages to be by far the least competent
- Sjin and Tom both spent 30 seconds trying to move a unit without any moves left, when they could have just ended their turn.
- AUTO-END TURN
- Neither Zoey or Sips were present
- Or Caff. I was kind of looking forward to having somebody worse than Sjin.
What is a good starting research, by the way?
I don't think you can blame them for the teleporting cities glitch, it's not like they've researched every known NQ bug. But it is pretty pitiful that they manage to improperly install a Steam Workshop mod.

SpoilerThe ear issue was prolonged by a not entirely lovely day yesterday that also meant I spent most of today with a really shitty headache, so you can probably gather that I've not been in a very good mood. However, having come back to my computer this evening after spending most of the day away, I've discovered that the Yogscast have started putting out their latest game of Civ, in which they've got all their worst players together to duke it out. It is legitimately called "War of the Worst".
The next twenty minutes are going to be amazing.
- THERE'S A WARNING SLATE AT THE BEGINNING they are basically warning me that what I am about to see may include scenes that some people may find distrurbing oh dear
- "VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED" I'M SO READY
- okay Rythian is actually halfway competent just not necessarily in multiplayer and then there's Sjin who is capable of moments of blinding genius and then I guess the rest of them are um yeah...
- "We took the best players of civ... how do I hide the chat?" AAAAAAAAAAA
- Smiffy playing Babylon with a nice start (bit low on food, that's all): "I've played Civilisation twice before" uh
- THIS WILL GO COMPLETELY TO WASTE
- Mark Hulmes, Egypt: "I've currently having the terrifying decision of where do I start my first city, because I know everyone's gonna be like 'that was such a stupid play what the fuck?'" and the worst bit is it's an actual dilemma start there's a coastal-hill-mountain-river start one tile right that means moving away from the salt and initial growth hmmmmmm the observatory probably sways it though
- ...they are playing vanilla, right? There's no way they're inflicting the mod on people who can count the number of times they've played this game on the fingers of one hand, right? Right? So you can still get +50% science from an observatory...
- Trott, Poland: "I didn't realise we were adding this NoQuitters Mod, cool."
- WHAT
- THESE POOR BASTARDS
- I FEAR FOR THEM
- anyway that is a distressing amount of flat tundra for an NQMap start and I am too shell-shocked to say anything else
- Tom, Angor, Huns: "hey" LOOK AT ALL THOSE RESOURCES
- Rythian, Persia, this is the second time Rythian has played Persia and this is the second time I will insist they are not well suited to each other did someone just not let him pick Ethiopia? It's like me and Greece; there's that one player/civ combination that you know will tear the game apart so you just forbid it fair enough
- TURN YOUR RESOURCE ICONS ON FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS UNHOLY
- "I am looking forward to playing the entire game in strategic mode" DAMN RIGHT YOU ARE I LIVE FOR RYTHIAN'S STRATEGIC VIEW FOOTAGE
- Trott: "What is strategic mode?" AAAAAAAAAAA
- THE DISTRESSED SOUNDS MADE BY EVERYONE ELSE AS THEY TRY OUT STRATEGIC MODE "this game is already dry enough" aww
- Smiffy: "How do I get the research thing up?" AAAAAAAAAAAHH
- FOUND A CITY BEFORE YOU WORRY ABOUT RESEARC- oh you literally need to read the icons telling you where everything is now
- Sjin: "Pottery is good" *eye-twitch*
- wait what was Sjin again I saw it at the start and have already forgotten
- SJIN IS GENGHIS KHAN AGAIN HE WILL SUICIDE INTO A CITY STATE WITH ARCHERS ON TURN 60 AND DECLARE HIMSELF IRRELEVANT FOR THE REST OF THE GAME
- (the above prediction is DEFINITELY NOT BASED ON ANY PREVIOUS EVIDENCE)
- Smiffy: "There will be swearing in this series" guys I wouldn't want anything less
- SOMEONE HASN'T INSTALLED CORRECTLY
- SOMEONE FUCKED UP THE MAP INSTALL AND THEY'VE ENCOUNTERED THE TELEPORTING CITY GLITCH
- Smiffy has taken over a minute to figure out how to describe the fact his city is now called Persepolis
- they reloaded the turn 1 autosave, apparently unaware of the existence of the turn 0 autosave
- NEW STARTS OH BOY SIX MORE BULLET POINTS FOR YOU ALL
- now they are trying to figure out why Angor has more points starting out than anyone else (because the Huns begin with Animal Husbandry and so have four more points due to technologies "researched" (THE MORE YOU KNOW))
- Trott: "Is marble a luxury, just out of interest?" *eye-twitch*
- the worst part is that Trott and Smiffy are the sort of people who will ask questions when they don't know what's going on I'm so frightened for Mark who may not
- actually I can't be arsed to write out new start judgements but I think Sjin will win LOOK AT THAT THAT IS LUSH
- ...I didn't even know you could get marsh dyes. Poor Smiffy.
- Mark: "Do I settle on hills?" YES YES YESYYESYESYSEYESYES
- Trott that is not a Polish accent stop it also I am sorry about your start but at least flatland whales is one step up from flatland pearls, which is literally the worst
- RYTHIAN IS NOW MOROCCO BECAUSE REASONS (this is now the worst civ in the game under the command of the best player in the game that is slightly fairer)
- There's the flatland pearls! Poor Mark...
- "Do I want to be on the coast?" YOUR REGIONAL LUX IS PEARLS YOU HAVE FOUR SEA RESOURCES ON THE FOUR OCEAN TILES YOU CAN SEE OF COURSE YOU WANT TO BE ON THE FUCKING COAST HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO IMPROVE THEM ARE YOU GOING TO STAND ON THE SHORELINE AND THROW HAMMERS AT THE OYSTERS BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE INEFFECTIVE
- he hovered over the hill two tiles away from the coast with the move command enabled and now I am dead
- yep Sjin is the only person to have played with the mod before that'll be interesting
- they avoided the glitch this time because Rythian didn't found his cap turn zero thank goodness
- actually Rythian's penchant for Piety will for once serve him well because it'll legitimately benefit him for once
- casual reminder that as of last game Sjin did not know what the number that appears in the circle when you tell a unit to move to a tile means
- wait no this needs a less casual reminder - when you select a unit, ask it to move, hover over a destination, a circle appears there with a number in it telling you how many turns it will take for the unit to get there and we know full well that Sjin does not know what that number means AND HE'S JUST PROVEN IT AGAIN this is amazing
- Nebuchadnezzar pronounced in a half-affected West Country accent is the best thing
- fun fact: the NQMod prevents you from getting a battering ram upgrade in a ruin so you can't commit murder in under ten turns as the Huns, hence why Angor is now gaping vacantly at his brand-new yet wholly unexpected spearman
- Mark: "I still don't understand things like the Culture Overview menu Rythian, don't try and confuse me" (screen cuts to Sjin finding the Culture Overview menu, opening it, moving his cursor slowly over the front page and then quietly noping the fuck out of there AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
- SJIN THAT IS NOT HOW YOU SPELL PALLET TOWN WHAT YOU HAVE THERE IS AN ARTISTIC COMMUNE NOT A POKEMON LOCATION
- Sjin's fully ecstatic, utterly unbridled joy at discovering... wait for it... Old Faithful. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
- Mark confused production and science and I confused laughter with choking
- I cannot accurately compare Sjin's response to discovering Old Faithful (which is not amazing) to Sjin's reponse to discovering Mt. Sinai (which is the bee's fucking knees) because they were of the wrong orders of magnitude
- Sjin: "you guys want to be looking for places to put down more cities" Angor: "oh yeah - that is a mechanic that you need to do" RYTHIAN AND TROTT THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE CITY CHALLENGE BASED OFF OF SJIN'S PREGAME TROLLING
- SJIN COULD YOU PLEASE STOP TROLLING THESE THOUGHTLESSLY GULLIBLE NINCOMPOOPS
- TROTT AND MARK BETWEEN THEM CANNOT COUNT TO SIX
- THREE PLUS THREE IS NOT SEVEN
- Smiffy: "I've already drunk two bottles of fizzy water and I need to urinate."
- THESE PEOPLE ARE TRUE PROFESSIONALS
- Trott: "I think it's important for new players to know bladder control before playing Civ 5 multiplayer" from experience this is a true statement just saying
- AND THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS
tl;dr - AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH I'm pretty sure this passes 0 and -1? I read the whole thing once and then skimmed it again.

@a52: Pottery is pretty much always a good bet - you'll be wanting a shrine and/or a granary sufficiently early on that it makes sense to tech to them, especially in the NQ situation where it's entirely possible to get through a scout-scout-monument build queue in under ten turns if your start is good enough. In vanilla Civ, though, you can kinda make an argument for Animal Husbandry; specifically, if you've got Strategic Balance on (which you probably should have) and your start has piss-poor production (flat grassland, say), then it's not risky to discover horses since you're guaranteed at least one tile of them. If your initial production is sufficiently lacking that you feel this move beneficial, then you wouldn't be ready to construct Pottery buildings if you opted for that first, so you don't really lose anything.
Other than that, Archery's not worth it (why would you want an archer that early?) and Mining without a worker is a bit useless (and the Masonry wonders, as valuable as they are in NQMod, should not be beelined) - the one thing I would note with Mining in the mod is that that's where you discover iron, rather than at Bronze Working, so you could make the same argument about initial production as you did with horses above... except you will not be lacking in initial production that heavily in the mod to warrant working a tile that most likely won't have any food and will at best yield one...

This is update #210.
- Trott as Poland has 20% off social policy cost (this is how the mod balances the civ I won my first Deity victory with) and so he's the first hapless sod to discover what the new policy trees look like...
- So he opts for Tradition. "It's traditional" that is definitely a good argument I would recommend it for everyone bar Sjin and Rythian (they are the only two people I trust to do anything different)
- (IN BEFORE HALF THE GAME OPENS HONOUR)
- actually that's a point Tom could probably get away with Honour just go knock on the doors of a few city states with a battering ram that would work I RETRACT MY PREVIOUS SNIDE REMARK
- multiple people are having barb troubles maybe the winner of this game will in fact be the barbarian hordes
- fun fact two: in the mod Babylon doesn't get their free scientist until Philosophy sorry Smiffy
- YES A TWENTY FIVE TURN GREAT LIBRARY IS A GREAT IDEA
- Smiffy: "I am surrounded by barbarians" this is technically a true statement because there is one brute in the very far north and another in the very far south HOWEVER
- WHY ARE THEY ALL SO OBSESSED WITH WRITING DO THEY ALL WANT THE GREAT LIBRARY
- high quality content: six people all fall for the same... oh gosh I can't believe I'm saying this but sadly this is what it is commonly known as... they all fall for the "noob trap"
- SMIFFY THAT BRUTE WAS STANDING ON YOUR BORDERS LAST TURN YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR SCREAMING ABOUT HOW IT CAPTURED YOUR WORKER
- this only strengthens my belief that the barbarians will win this game
- Trott: "look at those workers there, hammering away at those cattle" Mark: "well yeah, they've got to tenderise those steaks"
- Mark we need to talk about the Zone of Control mechanic or rather we don't because that is a concept best explained pictorially and I can't draw as fast as I can type
- ATTILA THE HONEYBUNS
- Mark: "When do you start building the next settler for settling a city?" Sjin: "probably about turn 103?"
- (actual answer: *vague handwaving* a good rule of thumb is pop four normally and pop three if you really want a spot badly but honestly with these guys ANY TIME SOON WOULD BE NICE)
- Sjin: "I can see two Polish scouts, what is this, a fucking army?" ummmmmm a double scout start is incredibly standard practice on a pangea
- Smiffy: "I don't know where the barbarians took my workers" YOU SHOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION
- whilst I remember Smiffy is a good example of why building an early worker before you have a unit to keep it safe is A Bad Idea
- TOM THOSE CITY STATES ARE NOT TO THE "RIGHT" OF YOU
- HOLD OUT YOUR HANDS PLEASE AND TELL ME WHICH ONE YOU THINK IS WHICH
- Tom: "there is a sweet spot just south of that river that I have my eyes on" *circles shitty marsh and flat tundra with his cursor* you are seriously overvaluing Old Faithful
- LOOK AT ALL THOSE SHEEP TO YOUR EAST TOM YOU GET PLUS ONE HAMMER FROM PASTURES
- I repeat the barbarians are going to win this game
- you would have thought that one of the few things these blighters might have managed to get to grips with would be retreating
- BUT YOU'D BE WRONG
- Turn 18 - Mark: "Right, I think I know where I'm putting my next city." Rythian: "Look at this pro, already planning where he's putting his next city" UUUUUUHH
- Trott's land is actually good Tradition land (it's a river system, basically) but man this looks like a smallish pangea if he doesn't get a move on he won't have any
- it is still only turn 19 but as there are always roughly the same six spawn locations on an NQMap pangea I can say with reasonable confidence that Rythian's bottom left, Smiffy top left, Sjin bottom middle, Trott top middle, Tom bottom right, Mark top right, but with bays cutting Smiffy from Trott, Sjin from Rythian and Tom from Mark
- I AM GOOD WITH MAPS OKAY
- MARK HAS QUEUED A SETTLER THAT'S AMAZING
- TOM EVEN ACTUALLY HAS ONE OUT OH MY FUCKING GOD
- IT'S NOT EVEN A LIBERTY SETTLER I CAN TELL FROM THE CULTURE PER TURN so he hard built that on pop two OKAY THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY A GOOD THING
- Smiffy continues to try building the Great Library without any tile improvements and thus only FIVE HAMMERS
- (at the very, very, very, very best he might have SEVEN but I believe that would be causing him to starve)
- and he's even researching Philosophy rip
- the sad thing is he's probably even going to get itttttt SJIN YOU HAVE EVEN LESS OF AN EXCUSE TO BE RESEARCHING PHILOSOPHY
- I am at least glad that Tom understands the concept of escort units
- RYTHIAN NO
- also these are hexagons not squares
- SJIN
- SJIN YOU ARE A DUMB
- okay so Sjin attempted to steal a city-state worker with an archer and you can probably guess what he in fact did
- (he could have not made peace and attempted to steal it later because that archer was an upgraded scout and thus would have been able to sit two tiles away, laying it wait until the workers wandered out again when they thought the coast was clear and then BAM)
- Rythian looks to have a decently sized peninsula to himself so if he settles a nice blocker city in the mountain range north of him he can have his tight turtling four-city tradition empire that he always dreams of
- SMIFFY NEARLY KILLED BOTH HIS SCOUT AND HIS SPEARMAN TO GET HIS WORKER BACK
- ooooooh here's a question that'll bug me was Earth Mother Sjin's best choice or should he have gambled on One With Nature the part of me that remembers him last game with Sinai sitting just outside his borders for the best part of forty turns says maybe Earth Mother was the right call
- Trott: "how do I found a pantheon?" okay on vanilla you'd have an excuse because Sjin picking his would have caused the amount of faith required to found one to go up mid-turn and thus prevent you from choosing just then HOWEVER THIS IS THE MODDED GAME WHERE THAT DOES NOT APPLY WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG
- SJIN
- OH MY GOD SJIN
- SJIN
- HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND UNIT MOVEMENT THIS BADLY
- okay Sjin had another chance at stealing Mogadishu's worker it had come out again and Sjin was two tiles away so he declared war and ran at it with his spearman... straight onto the hill. The hill between him and the worker. The hill that used up all the movement points on his half-health spearman and put him in city bombardment range
- PREVIEW: Mark does not understand the concept of escort units huh
tl;dr - ESCORT YOUR FUCKING WORKERS AND SETTLERS AT ALL TIMES

This is update #211.
An eagle-eyed redditor has pointed out that the map glitch still hasn't entirely been circumvented because Rythian's luxuries changed between resyncs. As in, he started with ivory and pearls turn 0 and ended up with wine and crabs by turn 7 (so presumably turn 1, though I didn't bother to check). I thought the yields looked funny in this video. I do not know what happens if you continue playing a game broken in this manner for long enough to cause a second resync. This could be fun.

also we really should figure out these rules at some point
like I think I have a reasonable idea of how to pass one of them consistently but other than that I honestly haven't put any more effort into this set than the song title cavalcade a few days ago
obviously I am not going to think about this right now buuuuuut

This post passes a lot of rules! Maybe even all five of them.

End of message. Passes 0 and -1.

like I think I have a reasonable idea of how to pass one of them consistently but other than that I honestly haven't put any more effort into this set than the song title cavalcade a few days ago
obviously I am not going to think about this right now buuuuuut Passes 1 and -1.

THE RULES!!
1. I Heard A Sound - Simply enough, I had to hear audio coming from your post. Soundcloud, Youtube, whatever. Links were insufficient, it had to come directly from the post.
2. Fingertips - Multiple fingertips, specifically. The word 'Fingertips' must be used at least twice. This should have been 'at least once' but WE'LL GET THERE.
3. I Found A New Friend - Must include the username of somebody within the PMC contest other than yourself. Okay, it's not actually simple inclusive, specifically, but i figured it'd be easy enough to root out the exception. Required the full username.
4. Mysterious Whisper - The post title must not consist of "RE: Post making contest". Super duper subtle changes were liable to failing this rule but I think I caught them all. Much like a whisper, I don't usually notice it.
5. Please Pass the Milk, Please.- Post must contain the name of a dairy product. Although I decided to pass on milk. Yogurt and custard were used other than cheese.
okay anyways what about THE NEGARULES
There were three negarules.
1. I Can't Understand You - Passes if any of the words in your post trigger a red underline from a non-word. BBCode and URLs and the like are exempt. I counted smilies as 'and the like'. And sometimes I hit 'add to dictionary' for things that are blatantly god damn words. I didn't hit it for things that are like 'yeah that's a thing but also i get why it's not in the dictionary.'
2. All Alone Passes if a [quote] tag is used. Finding a new friend in the name part of a quote totally counted for that rule btw.
3. Fingertips (Reprise) - Passes if fingertips is used at least 6 times. Within the entire lyrics of Fingertips it's used 5 times, you see. The reasoning here was that if people were to quote like, everything, it'd probably end up triggering this, but I misjudged how it were to go. If I were to go back in time, I'd have Fingertips classic be 1+ instance of the word, and this be 2+ instances. Still not, like, hard to deduce, but at least it'd have fuckin' come up.
whatever i'm happy with it overall it was fun i hope
