Kids! Bored of go-nowhere high school classes that you'll probably fail anyway? Have you ever considered if a life in perversion might just be your thing?
Or housewives! How many times have you had to fall back on vodka and sedatives just to cut through the day's monotony?
How 'bout gift-givers? What do you get the pervert in your life who already owns a tire iron, three billy goats, and a girl scout?
Try Rex Tyranus' Kinky Dice Roller. You'll be glad you did.
Edit: I've played my first 5 turns, but my 'puter crashed at the beginning of turn 6. My last save was somewhere in the middle of turn 3
Edit 2: I've now played them all. I'll try to have the write-up tonight.

My turns Part I:
Turn 190 (1300 AD)
Okay, where the hell are we? Oh yeah, Russia. Hot broad. Got it.
It's turn 190 and--I think--Danski rolled our objective at the end of 189. He had one complete turn, so I think we have 29 more to go.
Let's get to it. We need to capture a city with a wonder or shrine. Can do.
Looking at the domestic advisor, all of our cities are well in the happy range. Except Antium, which has 5 more turns of resistence.
Looks like Danski has set us up on infrastructure builds. Fine with me.
We're also at war with everyone we know. Think maybe we aught to build a ship or two?
Colossus due in 3.
St. Pete (Petrigrad?) has some gems it's not working, but it can't afford the food to do so.
It'll grow in 9, then be able to work the gems. It'll then be stagnant.
Novgorod is stagnant while working a 1f1p tile. Civil service in 5 should help that.
Rostov is also stagnant at 6.
Bangalore could use a farm now.
Madras has one tile with 6 gold and another with 7. It's working neither for lack of food.
Delhi's got a lot of hammers it's not working. It could use a farm or two, too.
All in all, we've got a big damn empire.
Civil Service is done in 5
Civics are Representation, Barbarism, Caste System, Decentralization, and Organized Religion. I agree with all of them.
Bad news, guys. Checking the wonders screen, it looks like we own every wonder on our continent. Ships!
How is it we only have 2 coastal cities? We're financial!
The first choice is easy. Yaroslavl is building an aqueduct but isn't unhealthy.
Yaroslavl' begins: Galley
Switched to galley, due in 10.
I can't take Moscow off of the colussus with only 3 turns left, but I'll build a ship when it's done.
I'll end my inherited turn now.
Ptolemy (Great Scientist) born in Moscow
Worker loses to: Indian Horse Archer (6.00/6)
Turn 191 (1310 AD)
What's this? Imhotep born in Rome? Wonder in Rome soon? Sometimes, RNGod really lets us know that he's still got our back.
We lost a worker outside of Antium to a horse archer I couldn't see last turn. He must die for his offense to RNGod!
Whoops, that was an indian horse archer. Damn purples run together too easily.
Spearman promoted: Combat II
Spearman defeats (1.76/4): Indian Horse Archer
I note that we don't get our worker back. Bastard!
Our new great scientist can discover Philosophy.
Taoism has already been founded, so that's not worth beans.
Moscow has an academy. Yaroslavl is our next best science city, so Ptolomy will go there.
Axeman defeats (4.00/5): Barbarian Warrior
A look at Rome shows 3 longbows, a cat, a spearman, and Imhotep.
JC got screwed in the start location roll. RNGod be praised.
Damn, IPA's one BMF.
End of turn 1
Rostov finishes: Granary
Swordsman loses to: Indian Horse Archer (4.86/6)
Swordsman defeats (1.26/6): Indian Horse Archer
Turn 192 (1320 AD)
Rostov begins: Forge
IBT, an Indian horse archer ambushed a swordsman I had scouting around India. Another Indian HA died attacking Antium.
Hee hee hee. JC makes hanging gardens. Thank you , Imhotep.
Yaroslavl' finishes: Academy
Academy built in Yaroslavl
One thing about Rome, it can only be attacked from one side. And JC has a cat.
We're going to need a lot of chain farming here in a few turns. Try to remember that before building cottages, guys.
Delhi finishes: Courthouse
Moscow finishes: The Colossus
Turn 193 (1330 AD)
Moscow begins: Galley
Delhi begins: Forbidden Palace
Novgorod begins: Heroic Epic
Okay. Colossus is in. Yay us! Novgorod can't build the gardens any more so I begin on heroic epic. It's our biggest production city. Also, Delhi begins Forbidden Palace. The location is great and it is, after all, our second capital.
Because the gardens were turned into 217 gold. I deficit spend up to 80% science.
The odds in Lahore are ugly, but I think a sword, two cats, and two axes should take it.
First cat only reduces defense by 3%? WTH?
JC's added an elephant to Rome.
That garrison 2 longbow has got to go.
I used a turn to take the defenses down from 60 to 42 with two cats. 9% each. Why only 3 in Lahore?
Endo of turn 3
Tech learned: Civil Service
Moscow finishes: Galley
Bangalore grows: 5
Calcutta finishes: Barracks
Delhi's borders expand
Swordsman loses to: Indian Horse Archer (4.80/6)
Swordsman defeats (3.84/6): Roman War Elephant
Turn 194 (1340 AD)
Research begun: Compass
Moscow begins: Galley
Calcutta begins: Horse Archer
Calcutta's a dump of a city. I could build a library, but that'd only gain about 1 beaker. I could build a market, but that'd gain 1 gold. A forge will gain 1 hammer. Phffbtt! Horse archer.
When civil service came in, I chose compass. We're going to need to travel over oceans if RNGod gives us another stinkin' "Capture three cities from three civs".
Asoka is slowly taking out our Antium defenses.
Again, my cats are only 3% on Lahore. 2 cats brought defenses down to 11%.
Rome's defenses are now down to 24%
St. Petersburg finishes: Market
Horse Archer defeats (2.40/6): Indian Horse Archer
Turn 195 (1350 AD)
St. Petersburg begins: Maceman
Antium begins: Library
Arabian civ has been destroyed????
Antium comes out of resistence and look what we get. One f-ing tile? Rome's gotta die. F-it! They both gotta die!
Asoka is menacing the north with a pillage-hungry horse. I'm not sure I have troops to spare.

No, worker doesn't count. The keyword is "kill". And disbanding captured workers doesn't count either ... the keyword is "enemy".
Okay, as long as we remain in war, let's just hope that asoka keeps pumping "sacrificial lambs" for the RNGod. Also, may want to retract our fog-busters a bit to encourage "sacrificial barbies" growth.

Now, noticed I have not said who is UP. I am going to ask n0xie if he has patched. If he has, then paul is up. If he has not, I think n0xie can go first followed by paul. So, in other words:
Rooster
-- GreyFox
-- Dantski
-- rex_tyranus == Back to the Temple
-- omni_paul == (n0xie patched) ? UP : On-Deck
-- n0xie == (n0xie patched) ? On-Deck : UP
-- mucco == autoskip until computer is healthy again
Get it?

Mr. Shambles
Yes, I have patched, but can rollback if everyone wants me to. Otherwise I'm ready to go when given the word.

Make it so ...
Let's give n0xie a chance to sound in ... anyway, we are waiting for rex to un-hide the save

Here's the save. Sorry. ALso, I didn't point it out, but I've got a decent navy in the works. Three galleys are complete and a caravel is on the way. If our closest "friend" is reachable through the coast, we might be okay. If not, we can get to them through our caravel, but we can't send troops.
Question, if we sink a galley with an archer and a settler, how many kills does that count for?
While I love the C-style tertiary operator, I'm not sure if many people reading this have any idea what it means. (RNGod bless C-style shorthand).
Fox, are you a professional programmer? if ( pro == true ) { answer_what_sort(); } else { go_f_yourself(); }

That should count as three units. Three died because of the sinking, right?
Ok, I work in a lab as arat researcher. Sometimes I programs when necessary, but nowadays I rarely program. I miss it soley though.

@omni_paul: Well now that the save is revealed, if you get it before n0xie answers, then go ahead.

Okay, smarta$$. I edited my prior post. Does that make you happier?
Funny, I'm a programmer and sorely miss being a lab rat.

Great game guys!Well, the RNGod has proven himself quite... aggressive.
If the dice continue to roll this way, there won't be any other enemies in the continent soon... This is a Jihad!
A really well played game, I wish I could play it. My computer is getting worse, few hopes to get back in this game. I'm happy I can run IE together with outlook at the moment

So Paul, you going after me...
Why do I get the feeling I'm about to get some payback for all that crap I wrote about overthrowing "Omni Paul the Bland" in PH01? Turning the tables really sucks when you've been an A-hole half your life.
@Mucco. What the hell happened to your box, man? Is this hardware? If not, can't you just wipe the OS and start anew?
Edit: I successfully dual-patched tonight, so if anyone else has SGs in two different versions, I'd be glad to walk you through.

All hail the deceased King Rex Tyranus the Tyrant, Lord of Perversion, True Servant of the Random God in his Warmongering form!
All hail Omni Paul III, taker of the throne and avowed to continue our vengeful and bloodthirsty Lord's quest... to expunge the earth of 30 divisions of heathen soldiers so that their blood may mingle with the earth and make it clean again.
So Rex took down 3 enemies, leaving me with 27 in 27. Should be interesting, considering that India are down to 2 or 3 cities (probably 2), and the others are most likely across the ocean. I see we're building a caravel. That will be good for the LOOKING AND FINDING, but not so much the PUSHING AND SHOVING.
Anyway, basically I aim to smash 1 unit per turn on average. So long as we all keep that up, we'll be fine.
On the major upside, we're kinda dominant
. Or, as the multiplayer set would say, 'WE PWN, N00B!'.
Ahem, so yes, priorities for this set of 10:
1. Smash 1 unit per turn on average.
2. Build the economy/infrastructure.
3. Find our esteemed opponents in the antipodes.
There is a barb city in the south. That could give us some fodder. Hopefully there are barbs spawning in the SE as well.
Commerce is a problem. We're losing 58gpt at 80% research. No good. I scale back to 50% @ -10gpt. Feudalism is now due in 4, not 3. Not too shabby.
A little MMing gets that back to -6gpt with the same rate, and some small production costs here and there.

The Mighty IPA becomes The Mighty IPM (Maceman). I think we should keep him at the cutting edge of smashy smashy technology.
Here's the situation in the last Indian city:
And a grim view of a future in which our opponents have a small tech LEAD over us (they're a Confuscian bloc).
10 Turns > 10 Kills. Right on par, but it will get harder. There's some good smashing in Kolhapur, and the barbs keep spawining (there's a sword near Novgorod). Should be a close challenge.
NOTE: There are some boats on auto explore that the next player will want to bring back, and maybe upgrade to galleons when Astronomy comes in. Mo Tzu is heading north, and there are stacks of units moving on the last of the Indians. Other than that, it's all in good order. Oh, and you might want to chop some forest for the Hagia, or optimise for production. Either way, we want him.
