Not to sound petty, but I really like seeing my name mentioned every turn in the update! A stray flick of the left index finger takes away an unreasonable amount of wind from my sails :lol:

The best part about being early in the team is seeing my name so frequently... it makes me feel like I'm contributing much more substantively than I really am :)

:beer: Everyone is welcome at Peter Grimes' cottage for an inaugural Pig Roast! :beer:

Hey Guys

I played turn 50 because it was in our inbox for over 16 hours and wasn't sure...(Hope Dave isn't too mad ;) (Even though Innovia never posted :confused: )

In Any Event:

See Screen Shots below
Shadow Tiger Moves SE and Find another Hut :goodjob: ...but do we pop it a 1.9 Health?
Dark Puma Moves SW, W
(Lost_civ small change in plans, reason being on the finite chance the Oracle is built the next turn we are 1 step close to Piffle, if not we still get to the same place at the same time ;) )
Peter Grimes Moves S and starts fe3333au Cottage!

Thanks! I really need to get our team account to message me when we have a save. :)

I'm subscribed to the tracker thread but obviously that's not enough...

Well I don't know Mr. Shack (Dave) seems to be pretty forgetful with posting :lol: ..I got the email first thing at work today...and was anxious all day :mischief:

You can set Gmail to forward messages to your account and leave them in the Epsilon account if you want.

Ok - I'm just having a rough day. Ignore me.

P.S. Memphus did you get a forwarded email this turn? I added a filter to forward to myself but I'm not sure what it did to yours.

Who has there fingers crossed to pop CoL this turn :p ?? I do ;)

I did the notification!!

(Mine isn't a specific filter, I have a couple GMAIL accoutns so any of them which I am registered forwards the email to my work...good thing i Work all day :P)

Well that sucks...that was the second time we popped barbs :mad:

Oh well When you consider we popped 2 techs :crazyeye: I guess the game finds a way of evening out :(

It's weird, as I almost never pop barbs from huts in my personal games, but hey, as Memphus said, 2 techs is well worth the price of a warrior, though Shadow Tiger will be morned. :salute:

It's too bad too, as it could have put us in contact with another civ if he had lived.

Well that is most unfortunate, we must remember to send out condolences to Mrs. Shadow Tiger and the kids.

Dark Puma moves NE,E

Is anyone else having trouble viewing posts 31 and up?

Maybe it's just me?

I'll remove this post if it actually posts.

EDIT: now I can see #31 :confused:
But I can't see the screenies. maybe that's the problem?

Sorry, I'm not having any problems with viewing them. Are they add blocked or something of that sort?

Have you checked your firewall Peter, because that is often the problem?

Hi,

now that the intelligence thread is on hiatus, could you post a screenshot of the demographics screen each turn? Maybe instead of the city screen, if it's too much work otherwise? Thank you! :)

Somebody mentioned that the production of some civ had shot up some turns ago - is this still the case?

What an exciting way to end a three term presidency? :goodjob:

Well Overall Great work DaveMcW you have definetly set us up for some exciting future turns with your conduct.

Hopefully you will want to retake the thrown when RL slows down a bit :)

Hi,

do we have to get nervous about the fact that we are only ranked #4 in production, and that somebody has 17 Mfg. Goods while we only have 10, despite working (nearly) max hammers? :eek:

Do we know on what turn that "best" rival started with this high production?

Uh oh, that will be an exciting finish. A true nail-biter for sure... :shifty:

-Kylearan

Well the other thing to remember is I am pretty sure whoever has 17 :hammers: has a second city up and running, so that is very possbile :(

But either way every turn we get closer ... only time will tell if our gamble payed off :crazyeye:

What an exciting way to end a three term presidency?

Turn 59 - 1640BC

Unless I'm mistaken, Dave still has one turn to play as President.

A little eager to take the reigns, Memphus?

Correct indeed in saying that! :mischief: but I have a feeling his next turn will be just as exciting as this last one ;)

They passed us in points... I was enjoying the first position
but now we are close to the oracle, excitment in each turn now!

excitment in each turn now!

You better believe that each turn when I open the save I will be cringing to see if the notification is done in the upper left hand corner.

The funniest part is although we are 6 turns away, that could translate into the end of the month :lol: ... that is a long time wait :cry:
