Yeah I'm talking about a level of play like taking no provinces year 1, spending 90% of your money on pd during the expansion phase, alchemising all you gems into pearls, then into fire gems, then into cash. I know these things sound like they could only be the result of purposely playing badly, but I don't believe they are in some cases.

I still say no kicking, but some of the replies to the thread make me think you aren't really considering the level of play it's discussing. Really really poor. Unfathomably bad to a player of my level (which is mid level skill).
