E_I_PI appreciation thread

by **ManBungalow** on Mon Nov 16, 2009 12:12 pm

I think that e_i_pi deserves a congratulatory thread of his very own with his recent victory in Game 5862963 securing my decision. Sure, you may have won games like that before, but this was exceptional. Pi-man formed an elaborate plan, spending long periods of time plotting our victory and guiding us through our turns in real time where neccesary. But what really made the game for me was the image he produced for us to play by:

From the long plan he wrote out in the game chat several rounds before it all came together are some of my favourite quotes:
e_i_pi [team]: I put it at 43% chance you could kill wase, and about 56% chance he doesn't have a set and we eliminate him
e_i_pi [team]: He didn't cash rofls!!!!
e_i_pi [team]: It's cocktail night... in the literal meaning, not the metaphoric
e_i_pi [team]: Let me quote gambit battle odds.... "99.98081% Chance Defender Is Defeated"
e_i_pi [team]: You should have about 49 armies after eliminating clapper

I particularly like that he gives such precise figures in the chat...as if he has worked out the odds and applied them to the situation.

So, a round of applause for this classy mathematical geezer character please =D>

If only real warfare was this easy to figure out...

I like it! I always knew mathematics can help...if only I could wrangle it a little better!

Also we should recognise the efforts he's made to make CC a better and more fun place to visit and play games on as well as his informative and sometimes entertaining posts.

Anyone who knows how to use the tools at their disposal will be better at what they do than those who do not.

Also, I support e_i_pi. He has done many wonderful things for the CC community, using little more than math.

All those who think the dice have a vendetta towards them can kiss pi's ass, and thank him for the education.

good game.

although we did lose a 10v4 which would have secured the game for us.

Why, is he peddling a loaded dice program? 6's on all sides for the attackers dice, an' all that, good enough to get this vendetta the dice have with me off my back.

Goofing off in math class seemed like a good idea at the time.

Appreciate what he adds to the alcoholics anonymous usergroup too. Reminding us all that there is more to life than CC...There's CC while drunk too. =D>

There was a bit of despair amongst our group during that game wase. I didn't cheer when I saw who we were up against lol, and there's several times we had to react pretty quickly to elimination attempts.

Thank you everyone else. I'm surprised there's no flames or trolls by post #10!

Take some time out of your day, and reflect on how you're still not funny.

Sorry Pi, I think I broke the streak. Target was being sarcastic so his troll/flame doesn't count, while mine was legit.

Don't really know eipi, seems a nice enough guy though.
