Oh, erm, excuse me.

Yeah, he needs something to do, since he lost the Science Leader election in the demogame.

PADMA!!! TALKING TO ME BEHIND MY BACK!!!

Also... CT... you act like I'm 13 or something

 

[Chieftess]

The games have been set up!

PAD1 - Arabian Knights - Regent Team

PAD1 - Arabian Knights - Warlord Team

 

[BoBtheBUILDER]

So are we allowed to read the other teams posts or not? I assume we aren't since I assume we're playing the same map.

BoB

 

[Strider]

Yeah... Are you useing the one I made or the one GF made?

 

[BoBtheBUILDER]

I don't know who GF is. You can look at the map screenshots posted in our thread if you want to confirm.

[Padma]

Strider, you'd have to ask Chieftess. I didn't know GreyFox even helped.

 

[Chieftess]

The one Grey Fox made. I couldn't look at the map, since I did want the same AI... (sort of like a tournament style game)

 

[BoBtheBUILDER]

Well GF is going on my list! I have to thank him for the map, but I'm not going to thank him very much... grrrrr

Ok, now this is an 'admin thread' for the two teams. Padma, how far has your team gotten? (turn/year wise). Ours is going slowly, but ShadowDragon should be able to play his turns today.

Also (if it's not too late), what do you think of the 20 turns for 5 players the first round? That's 20% of the game right there... (maybe more like 25% on a regent game).

 

[Padma]

Our 2nd player finished last night, and we are now at 2150BC.

As for the 20 turns per player, you have a good point. I initially proposed it when I was expecting maybe a total of 4 players. If I had been thinking, I would have recommended a "stepdown" approach for the first round: 20, 15, 10, 10, 10, .... Maybe we can still do that? 3rd player plays 15, and everyone after plays 10?

 

[Chieftess]

sounds good.

 

[Chieftess]

Our 4th player is now playing. We also had our (aside from unorthodox, iffy moves) our first move - of which I won't spoil...

 

[BoBtheBUILDER]

We're on #3, we had some file upload strangeness causing a delay in turns played.

BTW - is there anyone else out there that'd like to see ct's avatar and my avatar duke it out? It'd be a good fight... that axe would slow my guy down quite a bit, but he looks pretty strong.

[Chieftess]

Beware the staff, it's not what it seems...

Anyway, we're in our 2nd round of play (Nad couldn't play this weekend, so I took over for his game, and he'll play twice next round), and we're about half way through the ancient era (1000BC). We had some upload file strangeness ourselves... but it seems that most of us are one at once. Our next player goes at 2:00pm EST, and that's two more until Nad. So, we'll go slowly.

 

[Chieftess]

Aggie elected to retire because of stress of a sick parent. Aggie also wished for the 10 turns she(?) just played to be replayed, as she wasn't thinking right. (I don't mean that sarcastically...)

 

[Aggie]

Chieftess. Thank you for your understanding. By the way, I'm a HE

I will follow this SG and hope to catch you all making some moves yourselves...

 

[Chieftess]

Ok, it's just that I was thinking... Aggie.. Agatha... (Agatha Christie..)

Anyway, it seems everyone's a but TOO enthusiastic about this one. so there's a bit of chaos around 80-some posts...
