LKendter
Cizzlewalk
Cuivienen (currently playing)
Zurichuk (on deck)
Remember 10 turns per round - STRICT 24 hours got it, total 48 to complete.

 

[Cuivienen]

Got it. I'll finish it up tomorrow.

 

[Cuivienen]

I had planned to finish this up today, but the downtime on the forums got me all messed up. I'll play tomorrow, but Zurichuk can finish it before then if he wants.

 

[zurichuk]

no i'll let you finish it off, probably only takes 5 minutes , already patched for my PBEM games anticipating this SG to be over (will reverse in an emergency though)

Apr 05, 2004 07:08 PM was when I played.
Apr 06, 2004 08:33 PM is when cizzlewalk skipped.
Apr 09, 2004 04:14 PM Cuivienen said play tomorrow (Apr 10)

It is now Apr 11 - this is a full five days since my turn. I can't ask zurichuk due to patch.

cizzlewalk / Cuivienen - When can either you guys finish this game? I have noone to go back to except for me to play another 10

 

[AntiTwelve]

I was relieved of my "duties" yesterday, this game will end with me

@cizzlewalk - you are at almost 72 hours, are you playing this?


My turn was on Apr 05, 2004 07:08 PM - this is an embarrasment to the LK series to be 9 days since turn.

 

[AntiTwelve]

I'm REALLY sorry LK, I know this is wasting your time and ours. I had actually got to turn 6 around 5 pm last night when my power went out. I had no idea there was a storm until after the computer shut down! I will have to redo all the turns, but should be able to turn in a report by tonight.

*Pre-Turn*
Open game and notice workers and military units are forified (outside cities mind you), wunderbar!
Rush a lot of stuff
Switch a lot of city production
Load Carracks full of workers and units for North America. Then I get the rest of the workers to mine some wheat by Paris. (W/o Shakespear, I really doubt we need to worry about it going beyond 12 pop.)

ib-Portugal flees from its many enemies by retreating across the Atlantic

turn 1, 1582 ad...
Unload some pikes into North America and spread them out (in preparation for treasure). I notice England has a strong monopoly on Scientific Method and Ship Building, we are only working on Mercantilism and will have it in about 10 turns at -9gpt(we've got 1400+ gp in treasury). Decide to make up for the "losses" by trading WM for some extra moolah.

ib- Mayan LONGBOWS cross into our land on their way to obliterate Portugal. Notice an English Knight is slain in a fruitless attack against Portugese St. Helena.
Magellan's builds a Frigate

Starve down Marseilles and Lyons to get Bordeaux at that magical 20 spt.
Rush worker in Fort Duq. Rush Sugar Plantation in St. Louis. Rush walls in Trois-Riviere. Rush Tobacco Plantation in Guyanne.
Decide to take some time to upgrade 9 pikes to swissies to make me feel even more in control.

ib- Portugal and Maya make peace, too bad.
*Brussels Marketplace-- Library
*Hispaniola (tobacco treasure) Brax-- Temple
*Trois-Riviere Walls-- Worker (rush it.)
Tobacco produced in Louisburg

Guyanne and Sault Ste. Marie both culturally expand, taking more land away from the natives............

... but there is nothing they can do about it now!

Current VPs: 35880

Great Job LK crew, you did it again (63 down...) I forgot to save, but you can't copy that victory pic

Kinda makes you wish we had done more in that time, perhaps an invasion or sorts , hope to see more games like this and see what other stops you can pull from your SGs LK.

 

[LKendter]

And another one is wrapped. Would you believe game is a first for the LK series?
This is the only game won by victory points.

At some point I play to come back to AoD with a couple of wacko variants....
