Game Session Instruction Thread (GSIT) Friday, July 3rd @ 2100 hrs (CDT)

[Cyc]

Welcome to Term 5. There will be a Turn Chat this Friday night at 2100 (9PM) (CDT).

Unfortunately, we are a bit shy on Ministers of late. With only TO at T&T and CB as our Domestic Minister, there may be quite a few on the spot decisions made. We will proceed with caution.

If our current Ministers and Mayors would be kind enough to post Instructions below, they will be adhered to. If you find this Holiday weekend keeps you too busy, that's quite alright. No penalties counted this 4 day weekend.

I do plan on having another T/C on Monday.

 

[TheOverseer714]

As Mayor of Maeve, I suggest starting a Palace prebuild for a Factory, to be followed by a Coal Plant, then it can bang out Hoover Dam fast. As TnT, finish Industrialization then start on Electricity. Renew the Saltpeter trade as necessary, but look for an opportunity to get the Ottomans second source, they might want less than Greece.

 

[Cyc]

T/C in 1 half hour.

[Cyc]

Tonight's Turn Chat will again be at 2100 hrs (CDT). Or after the local fireworks, depending on where I'm at. Tonight's should be longer.

 

[Cyc]

Well, I'm in Indianapolis, and it's raining. So much for the fireworks. As poor as I-70 is through Indiana, I doubt these people could put on a good show anyway. They definitely couldn't beat the fireworks show I saw a couple of weeks ago.

So it looks like I'll be starting early. I'll play through 9PM Central, in case anyone shows up for the previously posted time. Hope the skies are clear where you are.

Not much in the way of pics and saves, but here it is.

Thanks for stopping in TheOverseer714. See you Monday?

 

[TheOverseer714]

I'm kind of getting back to normal mode, so maybe I'll make it for more than a drop-by hello. Looks like our obsolete units are, well, obsolete. I think we should research Scientific Method now and we can build the ToE in Rhiannon. Universal Suffrage is a nearly worthless wonder, whereas the ToE gives 2 free techs. We can then research RP after the ToE completes, as our freebies should be Atomic Theory and Electronics. Remember to start a Factory in Maeve to build Hoover Dam too.

 

[Cyc]

Ok, will do.
