One more rule. No communications on strategy or deals with other players until you contact each other in the game. Then anything goes.

Re: What the crickery is the Queen thing? Is that natural?

I know what you are asking. That is your queen. In regicide if the queen or king gets killed. you are out.

The future of the youg Celtic civilization stood in the balance. King Brennus has been warned about exploring without proper military protection. But the headstrong King had refused to wait for the new warriors to be trained before he began exploring the lands surrounding Cardiff, taking only his personal bodyguards. And so it was that he stumbled upon a horde of hostile Barbarians whilst exploring a nearby forest.

(Turn sent to Germany)

Good stuff

Goober
Jan 11, 2004, 11:30 PM
This is not good . . . that would be a TERRIBLE way to end the game (for Apricorn) Then I would have to send it to someone else (What? Change? NEVAH!!!)

Good Luck with that

Apricorn
Jan 12, 2004, 03:00 AM
Thanks.
If my King unit is destroyed will I even know about it? id assume it would happen at the end of the turn when the AI plays? Havent got the next turn yet so Im getting worried!

Apricorn
Jan 13, 2004, 03:42 AM
Just to let everyone know, Salts Pikey seems to have gone AWOL (im in another PBEM with him)
Not sure what we can do about this other than hope he returns soon, as noone knows his password.

wwhill
Jan 13, 2004, 05:00 AM
I will check into

Apricorn
Jan 14, 2004, 03:32 AM
Salts Pikey has now been replaced in the other game Im in with him.
I think we should try and find a temporary replacement for him in this too. If he returns then he can take over his game again.
If everyone in agreement, i'll post a thread about it?

wwhill
Jan 14, 2004, 03:48 AM
Salts sent his turn yesterday with this message. I have relayed the game.



sorry about the delay, pass on my apologies to the next player!!
it wont happen again.
Salts.

Apricorn
Jan 14, 2004, 04:02 AM
Thats good news, welcome back Salts.

Apricorn
Jan 14, 2004, 01:12 PM
The Celtic King laughed like a maniac raising his fist in triumph as the barbarians fled. Outnumbered three to one, the King and his bodyguards had not only stood their ground but in the face of barbarian attack, as an act of defiance, exposed their brightly painted genitals to the barbarians. This gesture along with the taunting and shouting had caused the hordes to run in terror in the face of such an obviously mighty opponent. Nevertheless, there was not a moment to be lost, a messenger was dispatched and a band of Celtic warriors from Cardiff was ordered to join what would now be a barbarian hunt.
The reputation of the Celts and their King had been established without a drop of blood being shed.

(turn sent to the Germans)

Goober
Jan 15, 2004, 01:46 PM
Well, that is good, you survived. You were lucky only 1 attacked and not all of them. This may have been a VERY short game, for you. Good Luck Everyone

Apricorn
Jan 15, 2004, 01:58 PM
Hey, how did you know only one attacked? I never mentioned that:confused:

Goober

'Tis true . . .

Apricorn
Jan 16, 2004, 02:51 PM
The king smeared his chest in the blood of the now defeated barbarians. The horde had found their courage again and once again ambushed the King on his way back to Cardiff. This time the taunting from the Celts did not scare them away. The barbarians attacked in two waves, and were slaughtered down to a man, without a single injury to the King or his bodyguards. The experience would no doubt prove valuable. But for now, there would be much merriment in Cardiff.

(turn sent)

Goober
Jan 16, 2004, 03:42 PM
Ohhh, the last two Barbarians did attack after all . . .

Jan 18, 2004, 11:10 AM
I do not have it. I sent it to Apricorn last time.

Apricorn
Jan 19, 2004, 01:06 PM
So its either with Salts pikey or WWhill...

wwhill
Jan 19, 2004, 02:02 PM
I had sent it on Saturday morning. I sent it again to RealGoober.

Goober
Jan 19, 2004, 04:44 PM
I'm sorry, I either missed a game save, forgot to send it to Apricorn, or my bloody Internet Server (Telus) didn't send my the E-mail (most likely)

Sorry about that . . .

Apricorn
Jan 19, 2004, 05:18 PM
No problem

Goober
Jan 19, 2004, 05:43 PM
Played, sent. It WAS Telus, my Internet Server, they sent the Email that wwhill sent on Sat. Morning TODAY!!! Time for another long, condescending e-mail . . .

Apricorn
Jan 22, 2004, 01:16 PM
We're stuck again.
Last turn I sent was to Salts pikey on the 20th.
Not had one since.

By the way, Salts pikey has dropped out of the other game due to "other commitments".
Not sure if he intends to stay in this one or not.

Received the turn from RealGoober but it was one Id already played. Have asked him to resend

Goober
Jan 24, 2004, 12:16 PM
I sent the turn that I had received from Whitney, and played. If that one is not the correct Game Save, then I do not have the proper Game Save.

I resent it.

Jan 24, 2004, 12:38 PM
Thanks Realgoober, the one you resent was the right one.

Have sent on to Vancouver2010

I find it very interesting that I'm the only one posting after every turn to say that I've sent it.

OK, I don't find it that interesting, but that's distinctly not the point. (I think ...)

Goober
Jan 29, 2004, 07:37 PM
Of course. Vancouver2010 always gets blamed (after me, of course).

STEALING MY LINES IS DARN RIGHT!!! IF I WEREN'T SO DARN LAZY, I WOULDA PATENTED THAT. AND FURTHERMORE, WHY DIDN'T I THINK ABOUT THAT?!? I USUALLY SAY THAT!!! I MEAN REALLY, THE ONE PHRASE I ACTUALLY THINK UP OF MYSELF, AND IT GETS STOLEN!!!

I likely had it coming, since I constantly steal everyone else's lines.

Apricorn
Feb 08, 2004, 12:59 PM
I sent it on the 6th Feb to Vancouver.
The turn RealGoober resent me was the turn before that one.

Vancouver 2010
Feb 08, 2004, 01:14 PM
I distinctly and definitely played and sent my turn to wwhill, so I think it's safe to say that it's all RealGoober's fault!

Who wants me to whack him over the head tomorrow during school? ;)

Edit: It may or may not be potentially my fault. I definitely played my turn. The sending part has been put into question by Apricorn. I'd still like to know how many people want me to whack RealGoober over the head tomorrow at school though (just because it's so much fun! :D).

Goober
Feb 08, 2004, 07:26 PM
I have just now received a turn from wwhill, I had not received that one before, I checked. Will play and send. Wasn't my fault, I never received that turn. I blame this completely on Micro$oft and Telus, my Internet provider . . .

And bring it, Vancouver2010, bring it . . .

Are you, by any chance, the reason that RealGoober is not liking Grade 12? ;)

Goober
Feb 08, 2004, 08:01 PM
Heck no, Vancouver2010 is the least of my worries, him and his groundless threats (on TOAST!!!).

I don't like Grade 12 because of the stress, and insane amounts of hw that eat up my non-school time . . . I am sure you guys all fondly remember those days . . .

Apricorn
Feb 08, 2004, 08:04 PM
Ahhh, dont worry it gets better.

By the way, did you play the turn? If you send it withint the next 15 minutes or so, I'll be able to play if before I go to bed (its 2:16 AM here)

Goober
Feb 08, 2004, 08:07 PM

Feb 09, 2004, 07:41 PM

Goober
Feb 09, 2004, 07:54 PM
Yes, but if we actually did our homework on the Friday, when it was assigned, instead of being lazy, and finishing a certain essay Sunday night *cough, cough*, then life might go a bit better . . .

Oh, and doing our Calculus HW when it is assigned, instead of waiting for the Weekend, also might help matteras a little bit. Mmmm . . . Massive Stack of Calculus Homework . . .

Goober
Feb 11, 2004, 12:24 AM
I am just wondering if we are stuck? I haven't seen a save in a couple days, and I am POSITIVE I last sent it to Apricorn, and have not received it yet from wwhill. Note the POSITIVE part of POSITIVE!!!

Vancouver 2010
Feb 11, 2004, 01:09 AM
Knowing you, RealGoober, the "POSITIVE part of POSITIVE" means you are 13.7% certain that you sent it, and not just 10.3% certain.

I can definitely assure everyone that I distinctly sent my turn (which means a minimum of 63.4% certainty).

(In pre-editing hindsight, the fact that I sent my turn means that RealGoober definitely sent his last turn. But I say nothing ... wait a second ... I just did ... *shifty-eyes*)

Goober
Feb 11, 2004, 09:48 AM
63.4%? C'mon, lets get serious here, you are a pathetic 40% sure at bare minimum!!!

Not, I could show everyone the E-mail I received from wwhill, AND the one I send to Apricorn, but you guys would just say, "Nah, your making it up", so there is no point . . .

And apparently I sent to Apricorn, who sends it to V2010, which would mean I sent the thing - apparently. Ohh, I'm confused *shify eye thing*

Apricorn
Feb 11, 2004, 01:22 PM
I sent it to Vancouver on the 9th

Vancouver 2010
Feb 11, 2004, 02:11 PM
I recieved the savegame this morning. Unfortuantely, I was too tired to play it, and I had to finish up some last-minute homework, and this and that and the other... anyways, I'll play it when I get home (in about 3 hours).

Ive resent 2950 to Vancouver

Vancouver 2010
Feb 16, 2004, 05:17 PM
I haven't recieved any PBEMs since the 12th, which is the one matching my last "turn sent" post. That one appears to have been 2950 bc, so somewhere there should be 2900 bc.

Goober
Feb 16, 2004, 06:10 PM
I think wwhill has it. I sent it to Apricorn last at 8:06 PST (GMT-8) on the 12th, and apparently he and V2010 passed it on, so then it must be with wwhill (unless I am not receiving E-mails cause my Internet provider hates he - wouldn't be a first).

Not to lay blame, or anything . . .

Goober
Feb 19, 2004, 09:42 AM

AH [Warning! Extremely High Concentration of Four Letter Words Here!] !!!

I recieved it 19 Feb, I played it 19 Feb, I was pretty sure I sent it 19 Feb, but from the sounds of it, I forgot to. Unless there's something screwy happening between my email and wwhill's email.

Either way, Turn resent. (I think ...)

wwhill

Goober
Feb 21, 2004, 02:16 PM
Sent it to Apricorn @ 20:25 GMT. I have a VERY crappy starting location, MAYBE I can squeeze 4 Cities in, but there will be overlap. I am gonna haveta take out the ottomans early. The "Restart Civ" option is not on, is it? Please tell me it isn't . . .

Vancouver 2010
Feb 21, 2004, 08:45 PM
Turn sent to wwhill @ Feb 22 02:52 GMT (sending the PBEMs of today ... tomorrow!) .

I have a semicrappy starting location. Some decent land, and then it goes downhill. On the upside, that can be changed...

Ah, yes. The preferred excuse of me -- and students around the world. Never leave home without one.

What he said, except I sent my save in a 2 for 1 PBEM combo (with Cheese!!!) to Apricorn. Well, knowing V2010's adbundant of llihs, he probably has no city sites, and is on a 1 tile island.

I somehow doubt it. I have 3 cities, and room for one more. I am going to have to either peacefully expand - preferred option, or take out the Ottomans fast - not my preferred option. This is the Civ Elite thread I am in, I think . . .

Shaking fist at those that have a better start location then I . . .

Things are peaceful between the Egyptians and the Ottomans, at least until the Egyptians get a military together, that is better then a couple of warriors. The Egyptians do not want war with the Ottomans, but the Egyptians distinct lack of room is demanding a need for an early war. Fully aware of the effects of war, the Egyptiand have ordered that many legions of Arhcers, for alltack, and Spearmen, for defense, shall be build, and marched down towards the Ottoman-Egyptians border.

Ok, sent it, blah blah blah.

The Egyptians have started moving their army, or what passes for one, towards the border with the potential enemy, the Ottomans, who stand in the way between Egypt, and a Glorious Empire (or so says the Official State Newspaper). These units do not have far to go, since the border is not far away since the Egyptians have a lack of land. An Ottoman warrior that has been nosing around the Egyptians land is being closely followed by an Egyptian warrior. The Egyptians also notice that there is an island within Galley distance, but Galleys are still a foreign consept to the struggling Egyptian empire. Taking out the Ottomans seems to be the easiest route, assuming that the promises of beautiful grassland beyond the Ottoman cities are true. Only time shall tell . . .
