Response to The Goal

 

I am not new to civ, I am not new to Realms. For over a year I've admired you all for your game skills, your reports and your advise. But most of all for your fair attitude to the game. For you that have counters on your websites which show many visitors have been reading your reports; I have increased the count a lot, on many websites.

I am contemplating playing Epic 40 and posting for the first time.

Why ?

Because I like to play by the rules. Because I like a fair contest. Because I want to know how my game measures up to the ones I hold in high regard. Because I want to win (or loose) without self-critisism on dastardly moves and exploitive moves.

My point: I don't care if minimum/maximum city-distances, worker-pumps or even settler-pumps are on the dastardly acts or exploits lists or not,as long as we all play with the same rules. OTOH if this is considered important by the sponsor, why not add it to the variants-rule ?

I know this is not a solution, only a work-around. But it will do for the short term. For the long term consent on whether those acts are Dastardly, Exploits or Perfectly acceptable needs to be chieved. RBCiv is so highly regarded that it's list of Dastardly and Exploitive acts are copied to many fora.

  Tourney Mission Statement:
Existing Civ III tournaments, contests and group events are universally plagued by elements or shortcomings that lead often to compartmentalized results. Spoilers and privileged info is readily made available while games are still in progress. The game itself remains in flux through a patching process. The scoring system measures only a few elements of the gameplay. We at Realms Beyond are not satisfied to settle for these conditions and compromises.

The Realms Beyond is home to gamers who go beyond the norm, who creatively add depth to good games to make them better, who choose to set our own added limits to gameplay for the purpose of increasing challenge, varying gameplay flavor, and getting more out of the games we love. We discard the usual standards and venture into realms beyond, where we share our passion for gaming with one another, and with those who are like-minded.

We develop and refine our tournament as we go, with the help of the players. Each game is subject to rules, but we keep the framework light, the emphasis on excellence, the focus on the spirit of the game. Come and play. Share, compare, teach, and learn.
