New Conquests PBEM

my response is that if u have not plundered it is because they are either broke, or you have been incapable of taking any of their cities, don't give me any of that 'not in our nature crap' since u claim the war is going so well, i am inclined 2 think u have taken some of their cities & they r simply broke. Most likely they have spent the last remainder of their gold reserves in an effort to defend their women & children from your merciless attack.

You can believe what you like, but there is no need to be rude.

Meanwhile, a peace agreement has been signed.

 

[Rubberjello]

A passing Dutch caravel has made contact with the poor, suffering nation of the Hittites. Many were the tales of woe and atrocities commited by the Celtic hordes upon this peace loving people. With their trading contacts, the Dutch people will quickly spread the word to the civilized world of the unspeakable acts commited by the Celtic nation!

 

[ironduck]

Oh please.

 

[Apricorn]

This is entertaining stuff, keep it up!

 

[Playboy]

A Dutch CARAVEL? How did you get such impressive technology so early in the game? At best I would think your men are in galleys or triremes.

 

[Rubberjello]

Ooopsie! bad me! It was a Curragh cleverly disguised as a Caravel*

* At least to the barely literate denizens of that other, "backwards" continent!

@Playboy - You mean I shouldn't have that Battleship already?

 

[ironduck]

We may be backwards, but we know how to party!

i just heard that Gallic Swordsmen celebrate their victories by sitting down to a feast of roasted small children. Is this the 'golden age' the Celtics speak about.

WHAT?! You call it a party?!!

Why as soon as i realize the world's not flat I'm gonna sail right over there & feed those swords to those Gallic Swordsmen, Persian Immortals cannot tolerate such injustices in this world!

 

[ironduck]

Lies, lies, they are all lies!

 

[Playboy]

NO, no. Not golden AGE. It's a golden GLAZE they put on those children before eating them.

Rj, you may have a battleship, whatever that is, but just remember: "Our words are backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!" So keep that battleskiff pointed in another direction.

seems odd i only got 1 turn tonight, not complaining, if someone's busy, that's fine. but if the turns stuck somewhere, it's not w/ me played / sent turn 52 2300 GMT (i think 1700 GMT -6 so i add 6 hours right?) rubberjello confirmed receipt

 

[Rubberjello]

Well, don't look at me! I sent it on a half hour after you sent it. Funny how we get spoiled. I'm in two PBEMs where I would be ecstatic if we got one turn done a day!

 

[Playboy]

I sent turn 52 out last night at 9:30 PST.

Indeed, RJ. I've been in some games where we couldn't maintain one turn per week.

 

[predesad]

oh yeah, well im in a game where i've only took one turn ... in a month. 4 some reason i dont expect it 2 ever get 2 turn 2

 

[ironduck]

Well, I have now survived over 50 turns, so whatever happens now I consider this game a success for me

 

[ironduck]

Doesn't this look odd? There's supposed to be a Hittite city in the black hole in there, but it sure must be a small one

 

[Playboy]

Hmmm, I think that to better diagnose the problem, you should post the entire screenshot

 

[ironduck]

Pfft!

Isn't it weird, though? There's a black hole instead of a city.

 

[Rubberjello]

Alright, we admit it.
It's a new weapon the Mayans and Dutch have developed, called a "Stealth Black Hole". We tested it out on the Hittites as a warning to you warmongering Celts and Persians.
