Civilopedian
Chieftain
You've probably done it before. You sent off your warrior scouting around and he somehow got mired in a huge jungle. He then finds a neighbouring civ for you. It has a worker but it also has 2 warriors guarding it. They don't give you the opportunity to steal and so you've wasted a bunch of turns waiting for that. So you quit that and navigate the jungle to go home and find a city state.
Your scouts have carried on scouting instead of stealing the worker from a CS, and meanwhile you didn't build any workers because you're supposed to be stealing them.
Altogether it's one huge fail of an operation because it's passed t60 and you have no workers and your scouting methods need some serious work. It got so bad you decide to build the pyramids to turn this around! A post-t100 national college is looking likely. There is also major problems with settling because now you can't grow or build cities because you have no luxes.
Would you consider this a lost cause? Abandon ship?
