This is the instruction thread for the turnchat Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Do I have permission to do it offline?

President civplayah, our Code of Laws says the following on the matter ~

Section L.1 Game Sessions
All irreversible game actions should progress during an online turnchat, while reversible game actions (i.e. build queues) that adhere to legal instructions can be prepared offline. During each session, the designated player must provide a log of their actions in sufficient detail to replicate their actions. The President or his delegate may choose to play an offline Game Session rather than an online TurnChat, but must first get the approval of the people with a public poll.

I would think you would have already started a Public Poll for this Game Session. Would you like me to start one for you? Time is short.

Your poll is posted here, my President. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=320294)

Everyone should vote.

Domestic
Follow current city location picture at the start of the CPT.
Start building the Great Wall in Tara or Rhiannon as a prebuild, but make sure it does not complete.

Build Que~

Harbor (Current)
Galley
Colosseum

Upon growth, please put new citizens on roaded Forests.

Please name the Galley "The Molly".

Ok, President civplayah. So far no one has objected to you playing the save offline. You'll need to keep to your schedule and you'll need to abide by the rules. Please be sure to post your mid-Session save as well as the end save. You'll need to take detailed notes each turn as far as what's produced and started in the cities. Any contacts with other nations (good or bad). Everything should go in your notes which you can post here with the saves. Also please take screenshots and post them here too.

If you have any trouble be sure to post here and PM me. I will keep on eye on this. If I don't see any posts by you, I'll assume you got busy doing something else. Then I'll play the save when I have time.

Is it alright if I postpone this until tomorrow at the same time? For some reason, I just don't feel comfortable playing without further instruction from some of the mayors or the TNT advisor.

Maybe you can play it Cyc, you have more experience.

Sure. I'll play it. You see, we can't just keep puting this off to a later date. People will wander away. Participation is already low. Waiting till tomorrow will not guarantee more instructions.

I've got time. I can play soon.

I'll play in an hour. Live Turn Chat in #turnchat.

I know it's late, so these instructions are NOT technically binding... but...

Rhiannon

1.) Settler (Current)
2.) Library
3.) Gaelic Swordsman
4.) Gaelic Swordsman
5.) Colosseum
6.) Gaelic Swordsman

Military
Use best judgment for soldier movement, try to get at least 1 2-defense unit in each of our cities and move offensive units towards our western border for potential assault on England in the future.

Not a problem, Falcon02.

Starting the T/C now.

Cyc's had some PC problems and is continuing off-line, but here's the log up to that point (end turn 3).
