Strat, I should be around tonight, but if I'm not, look for me tommorrow night for sure.

Work is once again insanity, and I am not sure if I can get away long enough to catch/distribute an a$$ whuppin'.

I don't require payment if I win either.

I never said strat was slow - alot of players "slowness" is exxagerated or perpetuated myth.

I just want him to accept my challenge, or quit with the "I can beat anybody at 1x1x but the settings bore me" routine.

The challenge is out there Strat, from one Detroiter to another. I know you've seen it. So just give me the or the .

Which will it be???

Counter offer to Deity Dude......(its my job to make offers and never to accept the first one on the table...sorry)
Play my settings, 2 x 2 king, villiages, no lighthouse or mageleons or great wall , no city bribe, wet, warm, archi, small land, otherwise known as island settings...
Ill put up $200 to your $50 in a best of 5 series over next few weeks.....
And bye the bye, I never said I would beat everyone, every time on 1 x 1 deity... rather that I would win a majority of times simply because it is much easier to play assuming a good supply of artifically stimulants to keep you from falling asleep.

A match on each setting is clearly fairest if the dispute is who is the better civver overall. But if I understand correctly DD isn't claiming that he would have a good chance in 2x2x king, but just disagreeing with strate's statement regarding 1x1x deity. Since that is the statement about which there is disagreement it is superfluous to test the rest.

You summed up my position perfectly.

Strat, as I expected, has made an excuse not too back up his original statement:

Strat, unlike you I don't claim to be the best at anything. If I did make such a claim however, I would take all comers. I don't even claim to be the best 1x1x player. If you won't play me then there is a sizable list of players out there you wouldn't play in 1x1x deity. Thus your above statement is pure BS.

Original challenge stands

Best of 3
1x1x deity
$50 bet (to cover the cost of your no-doze)
Loser delivers payoff in person.

No more excuses or counter-offers

If Strat accepts this challenge I'm sure DD will then follow up by accepting Strats challenge.

I''m glad to see u agree that he would need a 2x2x king match to get his money back.

But lets remember what this whole thing was about. I do not claim to be unbeatable at all settings. I am pretty sure that I am below average at 2x2 king. I admit that freely.

My point of contention with Strrat is his 1x1x claims.

Strat I am not the best 1x1x deity player. If you won't play me then there are others you KNOW you will lose to. So why make such a ridiculous boast?

Original challenge stands

or

do you accept?

If not, keep your mythical 1x1x projections to youself.

PS When are u coming by for some more signs? I want commission next time.

It's definitely not about money. If you knew either me or Strat you would realize that the deliverence of the payoff "costs" alot more then the money wagered.

I'm still waiting for that answer Strat:
