THX made the standard noob error of posting the save to the next player before he pressed the red button (I did that too!).

Hopefully it's winging it's way to Hercules90 next.

No it isn't. What I got was THX's turn.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

He sent the proper save afterwards he told me... I'll get in touch with him again but check your emails again.

EDIT:

right I've rectified that, and I saw the pop up when I clicked end turn, and I've e-mailed the correct save with a note of explanation to the next player

I think it is all straight forward enough from here on.

Except I know what the AI is likely to do, I have no idea what human players will get up to.

 

[Hercules90]

Turn received and played.

First turn 4000BC now to Hawklord.

 

[Hawklord]

Saladin looked around at the view from the top of the hill. This is a bountiful land he said to his tribe. We could live well here without constantly moving around.

So began the Arab nation in the first city of Mecca.

Tall oaks from little acorns grow.

Are you sure he didn't say to his tech advisors: "Man these starting techs suck! We must research archery ASAP or we'll get a spanking."?

EDIT: Remember I got onemoreturnmike's email address wrong intially.

 

[Hawklord]

Now how would we know about other techs till we discovered them, Get in character. I try to post from the point of view of my civ and what they know. It makes for a better story for those elusive lurkers.

That's OK I sent to the second one, but if you want to keep flasgging up you cock ups, feel free.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Yeah but Mysticism and the Wheel is weak man

You are protective so I'd recommend going for archers before you become a juicy target

 

[Hawklord]

you have to find me first

 

[onemoreturnmike]

Alexander I took his people out of the wilderness and looked upon the coastline he had found, telling his scouts to continue looking, he said 'This is a good place to settle'. His people quickly built huts and set to building what he had commanded.

and all was good in the reign of Alex The First, of the Mikalus Line.


4000 BC sent to The Byzantines.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I forgot to turn tech trading off.

Oh well. Lets not have any monkey business where someone who is about to be eliminated gets gifted all techs though eh?

 

[Hercules90]

And Hannibal siad. 'I like this place by the river. Lets settle here and then explore the countryside.

Turn 3960 to Hawklord.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Hawky, where art though? It's taking a long time to get going this game...

 

[onemoreturnmike]

you did say you were trying to find him and annihilate him...maybe hes in hiding?

but joking aside, this game is much slower going than my other game....we are getting turns done in about 12 hours currently

 

[Scienidez]

Still room? then im IN

 

[ParadigmShifter]

This game has already started, sorry.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

OK, I'll try and summon Hawklord. Sadly I couldn't find the "Magnu" summoning so this will have to do...

Come on Albino Prince of Ruins! Get it together!

EDIT: That doesn't embed You have to click the link. I'd recommend that though it features Michael Moorcock and Huw Lloyd Langton (who used to play guitar for Leo Sayer!).

Since I mentioned Magnu, here we go

3960 sent to The Byzantines

and Im a huge Michael Moorcock (the writer not the musician) Fan. Dont know which one I like better though, Elric or Corum. Hawkmoon is good, but I think The others stand out more for me though. Ive read pretty much all of his books.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I've not heard any of Mike Moorcock's Deep Fix, only the stuff he did with Hawkwind. I prefer Elric to Corum. Hawkmoon was pretty funny, a German fighting against the evil English Empire who worshipped Jonh, Paul, George and Ringo

EDIT: You do know Michael Moorcock the writer and the musician are the same guy I hope And the guy in the first video. Lemmy was in Hawkwind too! So was Ginger Baker for a while!

 

[onemoreturnmike]

I did not know that. wow. I just thought that was a coincidence.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

All he did was narrate on that tour.

He can't sing anyway

It's from "Live Chronicles" which was the tour Hawkwind did when "The Chronicle of the Black Sword" album came out. Obviously the album is based on Moorcock's works He's known the band for years.

Wiki:

Moorcock in music
Moorcock collaborated with the British rock band Hawkwind on many occasions: The Hawkwind track "The Black Corridor", for example, included verbatim quotes from Moorcock's novel of the same name, and he worked with the band on their album Warrior on the Edge of Time. Moorcock also penned the lyrics to "Sonic Attack", a Sci-Fi send-up of the public information broadcast, that was part of Hawkwind's Space Ritual set. Hawkwind's album The Chronicle of the Black Sword was largely based on the Elric novels. Moorcock appeared on stage with the band occasionally during the Black Sword tour. His contributions were removed from the original release of the Live Chronicles album, recorded on this tour, due to legal reasons, but has subsequently appeared on some double CD versions. He can also be seen performing on the DVD version of Chronicle of the Black Sword.
Moorcock also collaborated with former Hawkwind frontman and resident poet, Robert Calvert (who gave the chilling declamation of "Sonic Attack"), on Calvert's albums Lucky Leif and the Longships and Hype.
Moorcock has his own music project, which records under the name Michael Moorcock & The Deep Fix. The first album New Worlds Fair was released in 1975. The album included a number of Hawkwind regulars in the credits. A second version of the album Roller Coaster Holiday was issued in 2004. In 2008, The Entropy Tango & Gloriana Demo Sessions was released. These were sessions for planned albums based on two of his novels: Glorianna and The Entropy Tango. The albums were never completed. (The Deep Fix was the title story of an obscure collection of short stories by James Colvin published in the 1960s. The Deep Fix was also the fictional band fronted by Moorcock's character Jerry Cornelius.)
Moorcock wrote the lyrics to three album tracks by the American band Blue Öyster Cult: "Black Blade", referring to the sword Stormbringer in the Elric books, "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" showing us Elric's emotions at a critical point of his story (this song may also refer to the "Warriors at the Edge of Time," which figure heavily in Moorcock's novels about John Daker; at one point his novel The Dragon in the Sword they call themselves the "veterans of a thousand psychic wars"), and "The Great Sun Jester", about his friend, the poet Bill Butler, who died of a drug overdose. Moorcock has performed live with BÖC (in 1987 at the Atlanta, GA Dragon Con Convention) and Hawkwind.
Moorcock appeared on five tracks on the Spirits Burning CD Alien Injection, released in 2008. He is credited with singing lead vocals and playing guitar and mandolin. The performances used on the CD were from the The Entropy Tango & Gloriana Demo Sessions.
The first of an audio book series of unabridged Elric novels, with new work read by Moorcock, have recently begun appearing from AudioRealms. The second audiobook in the series - The Sailor on the Seas of Fate—was published in 2007.

EDIT: Sent to THX (on WoS forum).

Sadly Bob Calvert (mentioned in the Moorcock wiki) is no longer with us.

Just for VRWCAgent, here's his favourite lesbian midget singing with Hawkwind:
