Will do. I'll play tomorrow night unless a lurker comes forth to show us how it should be done.

Maybe I was introduced to SG's in a bad fashion, but in my very first game, the host ended up disappearing. As a matter of fact, there was only two or three of us giving the game CPR when we finally finished.
Which goes back to one of the questions I asked Loco before I ever signed on...

So what happens if we get a GL while Microbe is on vacation?
SesnOfWthr
True Believer
Either
A) Let it sit if he should be back shortly.
B) Find someone to take his turn (I don't foresee a shortage of volunteers)
C) Put our heads together and decide the best way to screw ourselves

All I have to do is go back and look at my GOTM's. Got some pretty good ideas in there.

Well, without going into an exhaustive analysis:
We had 0 bits of luck with leaders. (kind of a cop out, I know)
We did mess up the declarations, though I'm still not sure how it was supposed to work
We waited to trip our GA until we were out of Despotism, costing us 20-30 turns of leg mayhem.
We made our contacts, and first DoW, earlier than any other team that I have seen thus far.
We fought mostly defensively early, when we should have been pressing the attack and at least killing Greece.
To sum it up - We made some human errors, got put deeper in the hole by the game, and were never able to dig out.

delurk i'll take a shot at 10 if all will forgive my general inability to cipher. Blame this all on (name changed to protect the guilty). One question - where are the tanks?
SesnOfWthr
True Believer
No tanks.
As a matter of fact, I think you will be mostly building. Our immediate goal is the Greek lands, but I think we have about 8 turns left on the peace.
You may or may not be at war with England and/or someone else too.
Have fun!

Pre-flight: sytems nominal
For brevity, I'll omit the IT builds. Suffice to say, cities that are at 10spt are making MDI when they complete whatever they were building when I got it. IF anyone want the specifics of the build, shoot a PM and I'll edit this. I did a reload when I accepted a deal for Chiv when I clicked too fast.
260 zzz
IT 3 english archers land at Isca. Abu wants 1030 for Chiv. - yo genius, we ain't got no horses.
270 peace with English for 9g of hers. Potato famine hits, rioting expected in major cities, raise lux to 20% to forestall.
IT Alex building Sistine Chapel
280 Alex has horse and Chiv.
IT English Navy sailing into the sunset. Leader preoccupied, the heirs are restless. Tolosa riots
290 mobvin stuff in anticipation of Greek attack
IT Americans building Magellan
300 zzz
IT Otto intrudes with an archer in the south.
310 Everyone has Theo + Chiv but us. See no need to buy as we can't afford to set aside a wonder city
IT Alex offers to extend peace treaty, have military delusion, say no. Hastings builds AoW
320 MA wif England. She gives spices. We give iron, furs, 5gpt. Found Lezux. MA with Otto. He gives 4g, we generous to a fault, give Fuedalism + furs.
IT Sumer finishes S. Chapel. Washington build Bach.
330 Flawlessly lose G. swords on western front in multitudes. No promotes or GL. Capture FP_whatever as cats go 6-7.
IT lincoln won't trade Eng.
350 Axima runs up the white flag
Sorry for setting your game back a decade. I got greedy and went for alex too soon. Things are dire in the west. I will now slink away never to delurk again.
Not quite that many sesn.

OK, six turns. Pretty close considering I played about a week ago.
I do think you were a bit hasty with the war, although I don't know that I wanted to wait another twenty either.
Either way, I guess it's Barb's mess to clean up.

was having nightmare about greek knights showing up

Hmm, just from the territory it does not look that bad; you gained some ground. We just have to defend some cities with wounded/redlined defenders on the interturn and our brave front-settler will wack Alex with his walking stick

And now the serious post: we should buy chivalry and switch to knights; much better than the slow MDI, which I consider not better than our gaelic swords.

don't forget to buy the horses too. I didn't buy Chiv. cause we don't have horses and wanted to conserve cash.

Shouldn't need horses. There should be some in the radius of FP_whatever.

Nod to homer simpson - doh! slap self on head. Didnt pick that up after I took it. Glad I didn't raze like my original intent.
