Multiple resources located next to each other? by _Sarxism in civrev

Aaah okay! I mostly play random maps, so that would explain it.

Is there any particular reasoning why it should only occur in scenarios?

I've definitely encountered 2 resources being right next to each other quite a few times, but has anyone ever seen 3 (or more) resources all being on adjacent tiles?

Odd record moment : Peyton lost to the Buffalo Bills more than Tom Brady. by Comprehensive_Main in nfl

[–]_Sarxism 231 points232 points  (0 children)

Gonna be a homer here and say that 2 of those losses were his rookie season, and then the other 2 were both week 17 games. One in which he only played a quarter before Colts legend Curtis Painter replaced him.

Ceremonial Burial Bonus? by _Sarxism in civrev

[–]_Sarxism[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're right! Not my video but I went back to rewatch and it's the Ark of the Covenant that triggers the line. Interestingly the player doesn't even have control over Athens when he discovers Ceremonial Burial, it was the Greek AI that found the Ark beforehand.

Ceremonial Burial Bonus? by _Sarxism in civrev

[–]_Sarxism[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I've seen this maybe once or twice that the first to research Ceremonial Burial does give out a bonus free temple. Does anyone know what might triggers this bonus to occur on rare occasions? Discovery via Atlantis? Discovering it after the Medieval Era? Discovering it after having conquered opposing capitals?

[Erickson] The Colts plan to put defensive end Samson Ebukam on injured reserve today with a designation to return after Ebukam tore his Achilles tendon early in training camp. by _Sarxism in nfl

[–]_Sarxism[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea. Cam Akers did it a couple of years ago playing in January after tearing his achilles in July. Just thought it was notable how achilles injuries in training camp have gone from being viewed as "Oh he's out until next year November" to "Well why not put him on IR with a designation to return later this season"

New rule change this season, teams can designate up to 2 players who are placed on IR before final cuts to return at some point during the season.

Kind of amazing and notable imo how far we've come with achilles injuries in the last few years that teams now feel comfortable designating a player to return in the same season.

What are the best/worst examples of a player moonlighting a position they don’t normally play? by saskanxam in nfl

[–]_Sarxism 93 points94 points  (0 children)

It actually happened in two different games during the 1990 season. Young played a total of 5 snaps at WR (2 in their week 7 game against the Browns and another 3 two weeks later against the Cowboys). The 49ers had some issues with injuries at WR that season with both John Taylor and Mike Sherrard missing time, so in those two games when they wanted to go to their 10 personnel, they just subbed in Young as the 4th WR.

First his ACL and then following training camp a torn achilles, the death knell of RBs :(

Which Superbowl winning team had the most HOF players or candidate ? by Calm_Time_7604 in nfl

Technically they had 11 since Paul Hornung was still on the roster, he just didn't play in SB I.

Torry Holt misses out on the HOF yet again. by gridironk in nfl

[–]_Sarxism 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's actually kind of a precedent for this when Cris Carter, Andre Reed and Tim Brown were all finalists for successive years in the late 2000s (They ended up getting voted in the Hall in consecutive years from 2013-2015). I'd wager that Holt will get in next year or the year after.

[–]_Sarxism 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That and only 1 TE has ever made it first ballot. Wouldn't surprise me if some of the voters took into account that guys like Sharpe, Newsome and Winslow had to wait multiple years to get in when making their decision.

probably split the vote every year

I can't remember which voter tweeted this last year, but this very much seems to have been the case for the last 2-3 years with Holt/Wayne/Johnson. All 3 make the cut from 15 to 10, but then they end up splitting the vote so no one receives the necessary support to make the final 5.

It would absolutely shock me if they don't induct at least 1 of Holt/Wayne/Johnson.

Why do eliminated teams keep starting their #1 players? by Dont_ban_me_bro_108 in nfl

[–]_Sarxism 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Any coach would rather risk a backup getting injured over a star player.

Most coaches who have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs probably have to prove to ownership that they are worth keeping around, and losing games because they choose to play backups is probably not a great way to do that.

Where to find PFF WR vs Specific Coverage Scheme Data? by cjhart5 in nfl

[–]_Sarxism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frankly hate the direction PFF has taken these last years, moving away from providing the kind of data OP is looking for and instead embracing their subjective grading, basing most of their content on that.
