Rob says:
How are you whomp
Whomp says:
hey Rob
A discussion about masonry
Rob says:
so hows KISS going
Whomp says:
It's been mighty quiet all the way around
Whomp says:
and now we aren't able to get anything rolling on masonry
Rob says:
everyones playing civ4
TNT talk
Whomp says:
TNT won't talk
Whomp says:
You must be taking the piss out of them
Rob says:
they talk to us, rubbish mostly
Rob says:
there last peace offer was unique to say the least
Whomp says:
asking for all your techs?
Rob says:
yes, and gold, every 20 turns
Rob says:
in other words we become TNT no.2
Whomp says:
their bee(edited) so to speak
Rob says:
we are about to have our first battle soon
Rob says:
4 immo's are coming our way
Whomp says:
MW's ready?
Rob says:
no, we have been saving up for upgrades, but we will have HBR next turn. We have 6 cariots ready for upgrade then, hehe
Rob says:
plus warriors for swords
Whomp says:
that's good.
Whomp says:
give em hell
Whoa? Really....hmm
Rob says:
we will, we got lucky and popped masonry last turn
Whomp says:
Who's managing the battlefront? xyzy?
No MIA he says
Rob says:
so we dont have to deal with MIA anymore
Whomp says:
they won't deal to us.
Whomp says:
We're wondering if it's cuz of their pyramid thing
Rob says:
maybe, we were in the process of negotiations, but their deal was way to lopsided in their favour
Back to war talk 
Rob says:
zyxy is in charge of the battlefront
Whomp says:
i've watched him in the SG forum. Zyxy that's it. duh too confusing
Lit?
Rob says:
just wandering, how quickly can you guys get Lit
Rob says:
brb in 5
Whomp says:
ok
Rob says:
sorry had a phone call
Whomp says:
no probs
Rob says:
can you guys do Lit
Lit? We've got no steenkin' lit my friend...
Whomp says:
Well it's a slow run on republic
Whomp says:
we are pretty far off still
Rob says:
ok, its just we were thinking if you guy could we could really screw up TNT's plans
Whomp says:
you think they're headed to the Glib or something?
Whomp says:
they don't have writing yet
Interesting commentary....resignation or head fake?
Rob says:
its the only logical thing, because they haven't researched anything in a long time
Whomp says:
cash upgrades i presume
Whomp says:
and their capital has hardly grown for a long time
Whomp says:
i saw them mining a hill
Whomp says:
what's up with that?
Rob says:
true but we met them on turn 39 i think and they haven't done a thing
Rob says:
since
Whomp says:
Provo's been quiet in the public threads
Whomp says:
what's up with that
Rob says:
if there not going for GL with a pre-build then i don't know what there doing, because they wont win being that far behind in techs
Rob says:
unless they have some deal with MIA
Rob says:
but that doesn't make sense either
Whomp says:
still they are way behind
Whomp says:
i'm surprised tim bentley isn't playing their saves too...he's a good player
Rob says:
the only thing we can think of, is they are prebuilding GL in some small city behing the frontlines, and waiting until its nearly ready then research writing and Lit quickly
Whomp says:
could be coastal
Whomp says:
they were mining a hill
Rob says:
hmmm, but thats useless under despot and they dont have the techs to switch to mon or rep anytime soon
Whomp says:
Despotic GA
Whomp says:
it would bring it to 3 methinks
Rob says:
well thats the only way, but they dont have it yet
Rob says:
maybe thats what the immo's are for
Whomp says:
yep
Rob says:
we will try not to give it to them by using MW's
Rob says:
hit and run attacks
Whomp says:
don't let them get terrain
Whomp says:
duh
Rob says:
where they are coming from its only plains
Rob says:
and MW's should withdraw if losing
Whomp says:
Is Killercane helping Zyxy?
Rob says:
we are all giving input for startegy on that front
Whomp says:
'Cane got game too
Rob says:
he does
Rob says:
everyone has been more quite lately, civ4 i guess
Whomp says:
Whomp the Glorious according to Livy regarding the most advanced civs.
had to brag about my cIV game.
Doin' a little tap dancin'....
Rob says:
the other thing we cant work out is how MIA got philo and CoL
Whomp says:
they told us they got philo from a hut?
Whomp says:
They have CoL?
Whomp says:
Then we'll never get a deal done with them. I was not aware of that
Rob says:
we noticed they got it only a couple of turns after philo
Rob says:
maybe they researched it
Whomp says:
Wow. I thought we were up CoL on them. No wonder we can't get a masonry deal with them.
Whomp says:
That's why I hate barbs in this game. Too random IMO.
Rob says:
at first we thought you must have done a deal with them
Whomp says:
we couldn't trade pottery with them
Whomp says:
the conversation was comical
Rob says:
i can imagine
Rob says:
i've had plenty of those with them
Quick...change the subject
Whomp says:
it seems like teams have elections every 20 or so right? Maybe it will change...
Whomp says:
except us...I'm POTKISS forever
(hehe well....
)
Rob says:
well we have a turnplayer one soon, then after that for interal and foreign consuls
Whomp says:
Cane?
Rob says:
no ones nominated when i checked yesterday
Whomp says:
that's my nomination as POTKISS of course
Rob says:
hopefully someone will
Rob says:
if they can get away from civ4
Whomp says:
anyone can nominate someone?
Rob says:
they still have to except
Whomp says:
You have a mighty fine roster there.
Rob says:
hopefully it will help us destroy TNT
Wow...strong comment
Rob says:
but i don't think we will win overall
Whomp says:
Why do you think that?
Rob says:
war this early in the game is a disadvantage, MIA and you have a big advantage. Thats why we were shocked by TNT declaring war on us
Whomp says:
it made no sense to us
Whomp says:
they obviously wanted to conquer the continent which also makes no sense
Whomp says:
too hard to cover ground that way
Whomp says:
And I assume no one can talk sense into their heads
Rob says:
thats right, this early in the game it makes no sense, its just a waste of resources, but thats who we got stuck with
Rob says:
you or MIA will win because i doubt this war will end quickly
Whomp says:
I don't understand the upper management at TNT
Whomp says:
They're really impossible.
Rob says:
i know, and they must know they can't win this way either
Rob says:
unless they think we will be a cakewalk
Rob says:
not that i understand that logic either
Whomp says:
Some played in the ISDG right?
Whomp says:
Who'd attack MW's?
Whomp says:
The best AA unit on the planet
Rob says:
i don't know, overconfidence in the immo's
Rob says:
the 4 is a pretty number in attack and if we were next to each other it would make sense, but they have to come across the entire continent
Whomp says:
no speed.
Whomp says:
give me 3-1 with speed anyday
Rob says:
thats what our tactics are based on
Whomp says:
two tiles away from them
Rob says:
hit and run, wear them down then finish them off
Whomp says:
then let them step up
Rob says:
exactly
Whomp says:
they're screwed
Rob says:
and if the MW's dont finish them off the swords in the city will
Whomp says:
Oh well. They're playing a different game than I know.
Rob says:
if they look at the military advisor atm we are weak compared to them, in 2 turn once the upgrades take place they are in for a shock
Whomp says:
I'm sure
Whomp says:
Let us know if you need a loan or something.
Rob says:
we should be fine, once we saw the immos, 4 turns ago we started collecting gold
End of conversation
Rob says:
anyway i better get back to my studies, its been good talking to you, we will catch up soon
Rob says:
oh btw how many turns until you hit rep
Whomp says:
ok see ya rob. think about a republic deal for the future
Whomp says:
long time.
Whomp says:
i'd guess 35+
Oh no, no shoo shoo
Rob says:
we can still trade mason,math,curr with you
Whomp says:
i just looked yesterday and i forgot
Rob says:
we will talk soon
Whomp says:
study hard!
Whomp says:
talk to you later
Rob says:
cya
