My schedule would permit completing the turns scheduled for this morning after there has been discussion on the Masonry trade options with Persia, possibly late Thursday night (10pm MST, midnight EST, 0500 GMT). If the people are so inclined I'd like to proceed with this plan to give us a little more to think about for the planned Saturday afternoon play session.

This could be either an online or offline session depending on how the people respond to this discussion.

Go ahead, do it offline if you want. It is really a forum based game.

I'm in favor of this. Your last "chat" was interesting in that you were really the only person there. Offline is ok with me if that makes it easier to get the second city founded and be on the road to city #3.
