5 in 1 (mystery SG with twists) - Emperor

[Locomotive]

I shall put you on the list GRS. Welcome. I am going to wait two more days and if no one wants to join, we will stay with 5.

 

[Ankka]

This sounds great and I'd join, but I'm starting school now and have no idea on how tough it will be... and I'm already full- schedule with SG's.

 

[Kiech]

I think its time to talk about map size. I would perfer Standard to Small. If Standard is fine with everyone, put up a screenie for us to speculate on, maybe it will draw another player in.

Is the order you have above our official lineup? Everyone OK with it? I am trying to think of variants that won't make Microbe go off of the deep end...

 

[Locomotive]

I will put up a screeny of a map soon. That list isn't the correct order. It could be if no one has a problem with it.

 

[grs]

No problem with the order here and I'd prefer standard too.

 

[Locomotive]

Here is the start. I actually had to remake it three times because the first one I got was 3 cows and a lake with a fish. Now, I didn't realize you could get that amazing of a start and I don't want this game to be really easy. So, eventually I got this mediocre start.

5 more hours and I am sending the first PM with the variants. If anyone is planning on signing up, sign up now please.

 

[Cuivienen]

Sign me up!

 

[microbe]

What's the roaster order? Should we send PM in order (not simultaneusly?) so we could decide the variants based on what the previous player sent.

 

[Locomotive]

When I send the first pm, I will give the variants, then send your set to "so-and-so." The next person should do the same. As it is right now, the list is the order.

Welcome Cuivienen.

(actual roster/pm order)
Cuivienen
TimBentley
Kiech
Microbe
GRS
Locomotive
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is how my PM will look when I send it to Cuivienen.

Hey, I am hot want to cyber? (jk)

Main Variant = blah blah
Moderate Variant = blah blah
Minor Variant = blah blah

Now, send your list to TimBentley who is next in the list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When every PM is sent (meaning that GRS has sent me mine), then the game begins. Please do not send a pm until you have received yours.

 

[Locomotive]

I have just sent mine to Cuivienen. This shouldn't take more than a day to get the lists sent.

 

[Kiech]

I actually had to remake it three times because the first one I got was 3 cows and a lake with a fish...So, eventually I got this mediocre start.

First ugh, woulda been nice to rule the world before the end of AA. But this start looks OK. 3 bonus grass, plenty of river tiles for gold, and is that tobacco? I am not really much into fog gazing. We have a freebie on the mountain, and a forest to chop. The scout/worker should be able to tell us if we should stay or move.

I suggest letting our culture pop the hut. Its possible an AI might build a city VERY quickly and we end up with a settler.

 

[Cuivienen]

Okay, I've sent mine along to TimBentley. I can start this whenever.

 

[Locomotive]

Enjoy. If you haven't had your variants sent to you yet and it is your turn, please wait for them.

[TimBentley]

I have sent Kiech the list of variants I have prepared. Moving the settler seems unnecessary unless the scouting report indicates otherwise.

Not much to report. Save attached.

 

[TimBentley]

Got it. I will probably play it this evening.

 

[Kiech]

Let me guess, Cuivienen: You aren't allowed to tell us what you are building in your turnlog or get us a SS of the situation? Thats, OK, I am here for you! Opening the save now.

 

[Kiech]

Oh, wait...I got it wrong. You apparently can tell us what happened, sorry about that.

So, anyone want to speculate on where we should put the CAPITAL!!!

BTW, figured it out, you aren't allowed to settle! At least you can move them. Too bad you couldn't move it to a nicer spot.

Loco: LMAO! Shame on you for not letting us keep that first save you generated, it would have helped out a lot to catch up. I will say though, this game is exactly what I thought it would be: mess with your neighbor's head.

Heh, I sent out microbe's variant before I looked at this save.

I notice that the other civs we know haven't made any extra cities yet, so we have a chance at least.

Oh boy, I don't know what Cuvi was thinking. No settling, what would possess her to do such a silly thing?

EDIT: Forgot to write, 20 turns for the first first person starting the game and 10 turns for everyone beyond that.

(I corrected the he to she)
