Kill the Shabba - Shabba the Killer?

[Grille]

Demoralised?

Dear Shabba & Killer,
this one wasn't just another *where's-the-game-save-file?-thread*. Really nice screenies & *press releases* here, turns follow up rather frequently. I've been watching with excitement and would really like to go on spying. Surely, so do many others. Of course, if you both are somewhat bored with this game, no one can force you to continue. But anarres hits the nail on the head:

Wow. Two Civ players both complaining they don't have the fighting edge.
So why not fight anyway? Someone has to win eventually.

Please don't throw up the sponge! Kill the Shabba or shabba the Killer.

PS:

btw, in the thread title 'shabba the killer' I meant shabba as a verb - whatever #to shabba someone' means it doesn#t sound as if the someone would feel good about it

maybe we will be able to grasp...

Grille, I do not want to get shabbaed, and I do want to do something nasty to Shabba, but at the moment the prospect of killing seems not too inviting. But this isn't Civ3, this is Civ3, and there are other ways to win.... And they all are 'on'

Killer,
breathing a sigh of relief, I wish you luck on cultural domination in the very near future
(let's see how long this lasts...)

(Brockhaus)
to get shabbaed -i) get really spoofed by someone launching a space vehicle one turn earlier;
also see:to sputnik s.o.
-ii) fall terminally ill due to parasites covering 2/3 of a body

Grille: culture looks like a .... I had hoped for it, but the lot of jungle down south made me rethink.......

I didn't say I'd throw the towel, I don't see how I can win this either. The problem is I'm fairly sure I'll miss out on some vital wonders, so I don't know how to toggle my Golden Age. I've played some games with this civ recently, and frankly, not being able to toggle your Golden Age at will sucks big time. Next time, I'll play Arabs. I guess I can make funny newspaper articles on them as well

Anyway, we're playing really fast, sometimes about 6 turns a day (each), so this game might be over in some weeks. As long as neither of us gets the Hoover Dam, it won't be a one sided game either.
I'll play now, and then I'll post a new map. Without France.

The year is 440 A.D. For those of you who missed it (like me), Killer has managed to build the Sixtine Chapel, Hanging Gardens and the Great Lighthouse. Shabbaman managed to build a bunch of cities and has persuaded his people to elect him as president of the North Korean Republic.

The huge blue blob in the middle is the North Korean People's Republic, the orange goo spreading from the north to the south (manage that on a real world is the Ottoman Monarchy. The green stuff on the right is the Japanese, but I want to point you at the Kyoto Protocol... The blue dot are the evil Americans.

As you can see, the President of the United States of America has a tiny diplomatic problem...
Also, the North Korean people have heard rumors of a so-called 'Ivory Island' which holds unimaginable treasures and a barbaric tribe that worships something called the 'Colossus'...

Shabba: thank you for updating! Now I know what became of my swordsman!

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

btw: I am at war with Japan now, too

Geez, can't you just stay out of war for some turns? Unbelievable! How on earth do you manage to achieve a victory on deity level?
And know you expect ME to come and rescue YOU? Geez... Now I know how Tony Blair feels
Well, I had some of them KNIGHTS stationed there, so I'll pick some of them annoying japanese swordsmen off for you

Abraham has a money problem and a strategic problem to go along with his political one

 

[Shabbaman]

That's a funny picture. Never seen that before.

 

[Shabbaman]

As you can see, some things have changed.

 

[Shabbaman]

The objectives for operation Free Japan can be divided in different phases.
Phase one, the destruction of the Japanese town of Edo, has been completed.
Phase two is the destruction of the Japanese iron mines south of Kyoto.

This strategy is a renewed vision on the strategy that has lead to the defeat of the Chinese, namely Operation Resource Denial.

Phase three, the capture of the Japanese emperor, and the enslavement of the Japanese race.

Phase four, world domination.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Phase four - I guess that is where I come in

 

[Shabbaman]

Phase two has been completed as well. As a benificial side-effect, the city of Nara has disappeared from the map.

 

[Shabbaman]

A North Korean forces spokesman confirms the execution of the Japanese emperor. Upon capture of the Japanese capitol, Kyoto, the Japanes emperor was forced to denounce his godlike status by the Great Shabbaman himself.
After his public declaration, the emperor was beheaded to prove his mortality.

It is rumored that, with the achievements of the goals listed in the Kyoto Protocol, tension might rise further on the Korean peninsula. A french government official states that 'France is opposed to violence.'

More news after these commercial messages.

 

[Grille]

What's the calendar showing (...well, I'm thinking of the info box...)?

Commercials go like "Buy our car! Otherwise, one or two giant mushroom clouds might grow in your front garden."

 

[Shabbaman]

It's just over 700 ad iirc. Japanese companies have suddenly ceased to advertise...

latest news:

Ottoman Cavalry troops (called the Siphai) have attacked across a broad front into North Korea near the norht pole and conducted limited attacks against eh American provinces of korea. Several Korean troop commanders reported heavy fighting befopre contact with the following cities was lost:
