B04: What if they were wrong?

[sanabas]

I just had a revelation, the roster isn't ordered. Take off the see the light, it's amazing. So that must mean I've got it.

 

[soul_warrior]

all those Barbiots must be friends of Ken.
bad luck or a truly brilliant Idiot in the making?

Que?

Feche' la mouche'!!! means Fetch the Cow!!!. famous quote from one of the more Idiotic movies i have even seen.
which is Monty Python's Holy Grail.
if you havent watched it yet, do it! soon! its a prerequisite (here, i just learnt a new word) for the Academy

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Go figure. But I saw more of them with the curraghs than spanish army... Concurrent academy but less ordered (yes, there's less ordered than us... they don't even have a roster).

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

@Monty Python: Saw that too long ago, didn't remember :shy:

I just had an idea: I'll put people with the most turns played at the bottom.

Roster:
(0)-Viper275
(0)-MeteorPunch
(0)-sanabas
(15)-Soul_Warrior
(15)-Khan_Asparuh
(20)-Beorn

Sana, MP, Viper due for 15.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

I have the DVD, I must watch it again and look for Feche la mouche. I hope to see Bella screaming "It's only a flesh wound" sometime soon.

Bella's a witch, therefore turnlog numbered in Hex

(1) 1725 BC: Soulfood storage built, starts on a pleb
(2) We learn to write, but choose not to share the knowledge. After all, we don't want Bella reading our love-letters until we've perfected them. In the interests of better love letters, we will attempt to learn to philosophise next.
(4) Abe orders Hans out of his country. Bedlam (home of the psychos) is founded, Idiot academy disgorges another graduate (settler), and the entire population is told to entertain themselves, as lux rate goes to 0.
(6) 1600 BC: Curragh sinks barbie's pleasure galley, and is christined "Emden"
(7) Hans has no friends, as Bella also declares him persona non grata
(8) Myxamatosis (Bunny Dyes - bad pun. ) founded
(B) 1475 BC: The Emden goes to a watery grave, and Bella seems to have figured out the sort of idiots she's dealing with, and tries to explain things in a way we can understand:

(C) Hans booted by Bella again
(D) Sanaberg founded
(E) 1400 BC: We learn to philosophise, and since Bella taught us about 'borders', we'll teach her stuff too. Enter the big picture, we trade Writing to Abe for Iron working, the wheel & 50 gold, Writing to Bella for C Burial & 110 gold, Philo to Bella for Mysticism & 20 gold, and Mysticism & Philo to Abe for Maths. For learning so well, we get a lego set for a present, and learn to construct things.
(F) Bella beats us to a nest of barbies to our south.

Learning the wheel and iron accomplished one of our major goals:

2 iron & 2 horses, there's a settler wandering around dazed, I was planning to have him beach with the whales by the red dot.

I have a couple of requests: Can we please build a trojan bunny? And/or demand that Bella produce a shrubbery? This thread deserves random python quotes too. "Judean People's Front?! We're the People's Front of Judea"

I definitely love the way it is written "(Idiot)" beside each town.

Roster:

Nice trade shot with Philo. Aquas and barricades will prove useful soon enough. We'll need libs soon though, since we can't get temples for culture expansion.

Looks like we should connect those horsies, pump a few more settlers and dig the canal. Enough spears will hold the front while we prepare horsies to ETCAETERATE (tm) Isabella's top ... eerrrr troops.

@la Mouche': My memory is probably wrong, but I'd look at the part in the beginning where he argues with a left-wing socialist peasant.

@ Trojan bunny: care to give us any precisions on that one?

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

I don't know what a Trojan Bunny is but I like a lot the way it sounds. Lets show it to the dear Isabella, with the knowledge of canals

 

[MeteorPunch]

Playin'

We got a trade available, Construction to Spain for Poly and 24 gold...I guess I should do this one?

If I knew how to build Trojan Bunnies I definitely would.

Got it. Playing now.

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

I feel lesser idiot for not having found a single city... Nice going.

 

[MeteorPunch]

I feel lesser idiot for not having found a single city... Nice going.

You guys built all the granaries though.

 

[soul_warrior]

You guys built all the granaries though.

Yeah!!!
and mine is the first Idiot Diner, too
can you imagine all those troopers going to face Bella on an empty belly?

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Actually I haven't even built a granary... The barbs pillaged mine ... I really qualify for an almost complete idiot... Luckily there are the parts to be assembled as AK says...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I'd say you'd qualify for homeless hungry idiot, rather. And btw I only founded the academy and the academy's cafeteria. Nourishing cadets to provide their best idiocies on a full stomach since 3100.

Btw, IASouth and AK's oasis are making reg warriors atm

 

[viper275]

The Evil Spanish colonized the island south of us. I think we plan to invade Spain? There are a lot of swords and cats... Built Curraghs for suicide missions to other islands.

 

[soul_warrior]

i thought the corporal wanted Soul food to be a diner, not a woodshed
lets thump bella a bit.
maybe she'll let us do it for free for a change?

i DONT have it.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

First, what to do with Copernicus ? Age of discovery ? Pyramids ? Save him for sometime in 4000 years ?

I'd say relax on workers, pump more cats and swords and horses, and declare whenever we are ready. Workers can be made later when the war front is breached.

I'll take it for a 5.
Roster:
(15)-Viper275
(15)-MeteorPunch
(15)-sanabas
(15)-Soul_Warrior
(15)-Khan_Asparuh
(20)-Beorn <- Taking 5

Edit: here's but a thought: should we declare on spain, raze Zaragoza and found just E of it for the new and improved idiotic Panama canal ?

 

[MeteorPunch]

I don't know if we need to raze this early, but probably. Zargoza for sure, that's a good idea.

I can't believe we got a SGL!

1. Pyramids
2. Pyramids
3. Pyramids

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Pyramids are built in Babylon

So now we still can build TGL, GLH, Gardens, Sun Tzu ...

Therefore I won't go there just yet. I'll leave Copernicus put for further orders.
