6. 2700BC: the great australian walk continues
IBT: German archer appears from black killer death fog of ultimate doom SE of St. Petersburg
7. 2670BC: Continue walking
IBT: Archer sees our very strong picket fence and decides that anyone with a fence like that means business so decides wisely to walk around.
Due to a national shortage of contraceptives, the teenage pregnancy rate soars and Moscow gets bigger.
8. 2630BC: Worker moves to square next to St. P ready to finish the Great Gravel Path of Southern Australia.
Other people make do without
IBT: Teenage pregnancy causes strife in Moscow, so the citizens set fire to the bloody place
German archer continues to be wowed by our picket fence and leaves well alone.
9. 2590BC: Some bloke in Moscow decides that instead of working the land he shall spend all day drawing squiggles on the ground. This baffles people enough to stop setting everything on fire.
Final stage of our beautiful gravel path commences
IBT: Hearing of a new housing estate opening up, offering prime shorefront plots, some of Moscow's yuppies decide to up sticks and head to the new town of Novgorod
10. 2550BC: Operation 'pointy stick' commences in Moscow, to be followed by operation 'give that man a spade'
Settler heads NW towards the rather nice looking wheat. That way he can make fish suppers and use random bits of the cow that most people would leave well alone to make McMeals.
Other People continue to wander accross the outback, possibly looking for a BBQ...
IBT: That foreign fellow who was ever so respectful of our picket fence continues to head east into the fog, though apparently it is harmless and not the result of a society that is overlly dependant on oil.
11. 2510BC: Units take a stroll
Those people who left continue to head towards the land of promise
We keep an eye on that foreign bloke, you can never be too careful
IBT: The German, possibly wary of our constant staring decides not to hide in the fog but heads north.
12. 2470BC: The Great Gravel Path of Southern Australia is completed! Marvel at its beauty, for it surely is the envy of the world!?! Now the bloke loses his marbles and starts to dig a hole RIGHT NEXT to the path! Apparently it helps make stuff...
In other news, most people wandering around get on fine without paths and the like.
Those people who left Moscow for a better place arrive at their new home, determined that no teenager shall fall pregnant, nor shall it randomly be set on fire.
IBT: The German (we shall call him Hans) heads north
13. 2430BC: The new seaside resort of Novgorod is built. Being mostly wealthy right wing voters, they place a strong value on the military and decide to set up a special area for soldiers to live and train. They call it 'The Barracks', possibly after some president of a far away land, but he is far too liberal for their way of thinking.
Other people continue to walk around.
IBT: Hans makes a dash West and disappears into the fog, 'we shall meet again'
14. 2390BC: Bear Grills the explorer sees another piece of land accross the big blue wet thing to the north of our little island.
IBT: nothing happens
15 2350BC: bit of walking, nothing else
IBT: Those squiggles on a page can apparently be made into different symbols! Now all we need is some form of standardisation to ensure that everyone thinks the same thing when we see them and copies of Viz can be produced and crude toilet and sexual humour can be passed down for generations to come.
Obiously all this leads to a lot of excitement in Moscow, and teenage pregnancy once again causes the population to soar.
16. 2310BC: From all the excitement of the IBT, nothing actually happens
IBT: The anticlimax continues, with NOTHING happening at all
17. 2270BC: yawn
IBT: Operation 'pointy stick' is a success and a man with a pointy stick emerges victorious in the centre of Moscow. Moscow now decides to do something useful and starts training some bloke called Jim in the use of a shovel.
The hole in the ground beside the Great Gravel Path is completed.
18. 2230BC: The bloke with the pointy stick decides that it is for the best if he stays put and holds his stick at an angle as opposed to the more normal upright position.
By stopping everyone from getting a fish supper in St. P, and making them go down this hole, the big room for keeping extra food can be built in half the time!
The worker decides that a gravel path and another hole in the ground on the other side of St. P is the order of the day and is set to work.
IBT: Loads happens...
...Oh wait, no nothing happens at all
19. 2190BC: Slightly more happens, some people move but thats about it.
IBT: Something better happen for my first last IBT in a succession game, aaaaand...
You guessed it, nothing
20. Worker starts making another gravel path, other than that, nothing.
