Vanheim Pretenders: Allfather and Asynya

[Tuidjy]

Ok, so you think I am paranoid. Let see what
makes me think that Cohen is, indeed, calling
for a nerf.

1. From his signature: 'The enemy of the SC and
all the overpowered and unbalanced things.'

Self-proclaimed paladin with a mission.

2. From his first post: 'Well, I believe that for
125 points, he is very cheap.'

He is not discussing improving Anysya, is he?

3. From his follow-up post: 'If I propose
something, isn't for advantage myself, but for
game balance in general'

If he were trying to make Anysya viable, it
would be enhancing the game, not balancing it.

4. Instead of denying that he was calling for a
nerf, he goes: 'VQ should have his new path
cost to 70 points about ... and should have even
some more nerf.'

For those living under a rock, here is a proof
that he believes in nerfing. And by the way,
anyone would believes that the VQ needs 70 point
paths and 'some more nerf', would not know
restraint if it bit him on the nose.

5. And of course, there is Cohen's age long
habit of calling for changes that will make
Dominion II fit his ideas of 'how it should be'

It seems to me that Cohen's behavior follows
this pattern:
1. Badly lose to a tactic
2. Call for a nerf while using the tactic
3. Badly lose to something else

For example, Cohen was one of the biggest
proponents of a VQ-nerf (and proud of it) His
pretender of choice, during the outcry, was
Anya, the Vampire Queen. Poor Anya was getting
killed on average, hmm, about once per turn
on Pascentia, by, you guessed it, the Allfather.

By the by, he was mad castling as well. So I
think that he will call for a nerf to Vans and
archers, now that he's lost 4-5 castles to them.

So when I see him kindly concerned about poor
Anysya's popularity, I think I see where this
is going.

Hey, Norfleet may have a patent on paranoia, but
I've obtained a license.
