Fox-05: The RNGod Strikes Back

[GreyFox]

You have until 860AD. Isn't it easier than counting turns? But yes, it is 7 turns.

 

[ChrTh]

Ugh forums down all day!

So wait, I much prefer to think in turns. I have 7 turns left to make a wonder? I might be able to do that if I'm due a GE in 8. If I pile on the specialists in that town it might bring him on more quickly.

lurker's comment:
You'll need to get the GE in 6, then, because if you get it in Turn 7, you won't complete it in time (since it'll technically complete in Turn 8)


EDIT: I usually think in Turns as well, since in my writeup I'm more concerned about the Turn 0/Turn 1/etc. than I am what Year it actually is.

 

[GreyFox]

Oh My RNGod, do I have to do this to every player on the roster?

Ruff is free to take the vra's save -- and by the way, good call on hammering on Khan, vra! We need the war sooner or later, and we need to snatch back our iron.

Reporting Ground Rules

The most important rule is reports should be funny. Also, you should provide adequate details (preferably screenshots) on how an objective is achieved. Normal SG etiquette applies. Standard 24hrs to post a got it, 48hrs to play and report. If you can't play, just ask for a swap or skip.

 

[ruff_hi]

yawn - good morning. I've got it.

 

[Ozbenno]

mornin' ruff, hope the vegemite is spread thick

We're a punctual lot aren't we?

 

[Ozbenno]

Also, do you realise this is already the 15th most viewed SG ever

More than the original and just about to take over Rise of the Queen Mother. How weird.

 

[ruff_hi]

mornin' ruff, hope the vegemite is spread thick

I've run out of my promite (similar to vegemite only nicer). I thought I had another jar but ... went looking when my latest was gone and ... on ho!

Not to worry, as my wife is currently visiting Syd and is planing a 'care package'!!

 

[ChrTh]

Oh My RNGod, do I have to do this to every player on the roster?

At least this increases my chances of getting a turn in before the game ends

 

[omni_paul]

Has it been 48 already? Sorry fellows, I was intending on playing tonight, but seeing as ruff already has it, I'll take the skip as I've got 2 performances tomorrow.

Apologies all.

 

[ruff_hi]

omni_paul ... I will not be getting to this for at least 12 hours so feel free to take it back.

 

[omni_paul]

Nah man, the skip sounds like a plan right now. Actually make it a swap, I'll grab after you.

 

[vra379971]

Guys...while Fox isn't here, it's a good time to work on our stories.

Instead of telling him "Yes, I - insert truth here - Sorry.

You say, "I was prayin' and fastin' according to his will."

 

[GreyFox]

hmm ...

I AM ALWAYS HERE.

 

[vra379971]

Oh dear.

Hello....*waves nevously and looks for someone to blame*

 

[pholkhero]

just about to take over Rise of the Queen Mother. How weird.

guess i'm done reading this thread

 

[GreyFox]

guess i'm done reading this thread

... and miss all the fun while busy clicking repeatedly on RotQM thread???

Good grief! What do you think Fox is, some sort of biblical smiter? He's probably 5-foot-2 and skinnier than my forearm. Plus, he's a computer nerd, so you know he doesn't work out. Here's what you say:

"Yes, I--exaggerate laziness here--go blow it out your favorite orifice."

Then, two days after he's given your turn to the next guy, and just before that guys posts: "Played, report in the morning," you put up your report and confound EVERYTHING!!!

The way I figure, if Fox gets an ulcer anytime in the next five years, he's got no one but me to blame.

 

[vra379971]

You're brave man...best of luck..

Erm...May the Lord bless you and keep you, make he make his face to shine upon you...

 

[GreyFox]

That's it. Rex just lost his turns in this SG.

 

[ruff_hi]

That's it. Rex just lost his turns in this SG.

wow now, surely you jest. You cannot just deterministically decide these sorts of things, not in this SG anyway. You need to develop a stochastic model with a range of suitable 'REX is BAD' results and then let the RNGod decide what happens.
