ALC Game #25: Celts/Boudica

[Daedal]

New map, new game... it'll be just as hard for all of us to get back into the game as for Sisiutil.

And...

While I understand how difficult it is to restatr a game after a long break, it's not like he doesn't have 19 pages of notes here to reference before he takes a turn, so he can get right back into the feel of the game. I think we're in a good spot right now, and would vote to continue the game from this point.

 

[Fetch]

Easy to catch up. Sis writes the play-by-play so well it wouldn't take long. I vote continue.

 

[Sisiutil]

Sorry gang, it may be some time before I'm able to continue. I'm doing a professional course for work, followed by an exam. So that's going to take most of what I used to call my "free" time for a while...

 

[ParadigmShifter]

No probs. Maybe you should post screenies of where your course is, so we can have a 30 page debate about how much better the location would have been if they had built it one square to the West

 

[jamescat]

Yes and im sure your course instructor would love for you to have a 100-person committee to debate and argue over each question on your exam

 

[vicawoo]

Sounds like Old School. We just need to wire up a hidden camera that connects to an iphone type device and sends the pictures to us. Then we can debate the answers and send them back to said device.

No! Answer A is the better choice for question 1! It's less risky and potentially nets you 5 points. Also, you should scout over pages 2 and 3 as soon as possible so we can see what we're up against and identify any potential problems.

As for teching, you should beeline writing so you can answer the essay questions. Also, it would be good to establish open borders with the student on either side of you so you can scout out what their answers are.

 

[Bandobras Took]

Do you suppose an axe rush would work on that exam?

 

[Hereditary Rule]

I'm doing a professional course for work, followed by an exam.

Key Techs: Paper - Education - Computers

Can't you just bulb this course in one turn? Or use the Oracle to Slingshot past the Exam?

Spoiler :

SIS - Enjoy your break and good luck with the course.

To the seasoned ALC followers/vets/fans.... SOMEBODY!!! Let's come up with a series that can run a few games in the meantime. An "Intermission" while SIS is away. Obviously we can't do justice to his great series but we should come up with something to keep the fans entertained/learning/contributing until SIS is back. Thoughts?

 

[CivCorpse]

An exam? In case you haven't noticed Mr. I-Have-A-Real-Life, you haven't researched writing yet. So I am assuming it will be an oral exam. You're currently Boudica...wear a freaking low cut shirt to class, wink at the teacher and you'll pass.

 

[Crowqueen]

Good luck with the exam, Sis.

@bulbing discussion - nah, he settled his Great Scientist in Vancouver, I vote he should whip the Great Library to get it done sooner.

 

[Sisiutil]

...wear a freaking low cut shirt to class, wink at the teacher and you'll pass.

I suspect there is no better way I could guarantee a failing grade.

I dont know whether anyones at all interested but i could probably run a game along the same lines as sis at emporer while hes away. While i realise its nowhere near as good it would keep regular posters busy (as well as avid lurkers like me). Of course id need sis' blessing as well.

 

[Sisiutil]

Of course id need sis' blessing as well.

It's your forum too. Do whatever you want!

 

[jamescat]

as an "avid lurker" i think it would be great for someone else to step in. we could get to see a new style of gameplay and not be stuck with the no-ALC blues.

 

[Stewie0416]

The forums seem so empty, o well. Always RPCs to look forward too! ( srry Sis, Mad is kinda filling the gap for me!)

 

[tycoonist]

what are you guys talking about? there are tons of threads on the strategy boards playing demo games etc.

 

[OJimiJam]

Right then ill try and get something up either today or tomorrow, i was thinking emporer level with a similar structure to the ALCs, where i paly but with the advice (and much needed guidance) of you guys.

As for the leader ill try and pick one that hasnt been in a shared game for a while, just for a little variety. If anyone has any preferences PM me nad ill definitely think about it.

Look out for the thread soon

 

[Mack_Jagger]

You don't need Sis permition to make another game, people are doing it all the time. I thought you meant you should continue the thread and play out Sis game. Could that be an option? Is there a way to tune down the difficulty from Imortal to Emperor when it's allready started?
