JOE-07 - Surfer Dudes!

[FuRRie]

No problem about not playing .
We can get this game rolling again, with some good players.

I'm away from Thursday evening untill Saturday noon/evening (have to go hame for a couple of days). (CET)
I'll let you know when I get back.
My exams are done, so now I've got "vacation", so I should have more then enough time to play when I get back .

 

[The Sansman]

No takers yet.

 

[FuRRie]

grrr!
We need gamers!

 

[The Sansman]

That we do.

Quotey are you still going to play??

 

[Quotey]

Got it for tommorow!

 

[The Sansman]

Quotey if you post by this evening I can play tonight.

 

[pigswill]

Seems like not many (any) good players have taken the bait.

So if you're really stuck and willing to settle for a (well below) average player I'll give it a whirl.

pigswill! Fine with me.

Couldn't play today, gives me a chance to ask if everyone thinks we have enough to declare now. Or I could take a few turns and wait for Saladin t do something with the GP. It moving means he's not going to bulb it, right?

@pigswill What makes you think all of us are good players??. I consider myself a marginal player.

Thanks for joining us in our hour of need. Let's see if we can get this game rolling again.

 

[FuRRie]

You are very welcome pigswill !

I think we can declare now and keep building to push on Mecca while taking initial cities. Any objections?

 

[The Sansman]

As much I would prefer to maintain the friendship we have with Saladin he is the best target for us. (I am going with my poor memory of the game so I got it wrong oops) I will be checking the game tonight.

Well I'll be playing tonight if I get confirmation from ya.

 

[pigswill]

Had a quick look at the save last night. Sally looks to be the one to go for if we want to expand as we can't expand southwards. On the other hand China is leading in score and putting pressure on our existing cities.

Maybe look for a war against Sally to start, finish currency and then get construction and look at chopping out some cats to join our veteran survivors when we pick on Qin.

 

[FuRRie]

Sounds all good.
How about playing some turns ?

Jesus H Christ, this always happens to me. Albloodyways.

Turn 0 (190)

Move troops towards Najran waiting for the GP to be settled.

(IT)

Sury offers Monarchy + 20g for MC... done!

Turn 1 (191)

Revolt to HR.

Turn 3 (193)

Compass is in, start CoL. Declare on Saladin.

(IT)

Monty declares on us... bribed though.

Turn 4 (194)

Take Najran losing only 1 sword.

Turn 6 (196)

(IT)

Complete Collosus in London (no whip) and turns to get CoL goes from 3 to... 5?

Wait, Qin declares on us..... bribed..... still, that hurts.

Turn 8 (198)

Stop here.

Our stack approaches Baghdad and it is defended by 2 CG2D1 Archers behind walls and 2 chariots. The stack got hit by a cat and 3 swords. We are NOT taking this city. Any ideas?

 

[pigswill]

Had a look at the save.

I can't see us winning this one....

....but I've been proved wrong before.

Quotey: have you stopped for advice or are you handing over the game?

If you're looking for advice then I'd say retreat, survive a few invasions then have another go once we get some cats together.

If you're handing over then I'll take it (unless there are any volunteers..).

Quotey: have you stopped for advice or are you handing over the game?

I think I'll hand it over since it's so late in the set.

 

[FuRRie]

It's all yours pigswill, try to get us out of the troubles
