PBEM Four Players with Self Alliance

[DogBoy]

The Dutch lost their coal I was surprised this turn when I saw that the coal source just outside the city of Smyrna is no longer there. After scouting the map I found a new source within Carthage territory. So either Zurichuk will now start to rail England (assuming he hasn't done so already because I haven't scouted there in a while) or he will trade it to the Dutch.

To Rubberjello:

 

[zurichuk]

that new source of coal allows an iron works (unless you're talking about another reappearance) , shame it's so corrupt though

 

[Rubberjello]

Let's see here. There has got to be a smiley around here that gives "the finger"! No!? Well %*($#@&%@(&^#(*$@*&!!!*%&#(*@&%! to you then!

This is the second Industrial era PBEM game in a row where I got shafted by a moving coal resource. It just sucks....

 

[zurichuk]

here borrow this one

 

[DogBoy]

Yep, that new coal resource allows the iron works on that small peninsula. It does look pretty corrupt down there. But how fair is it that Carthage has two irons down there?

 

[zurichuk]

about as fair as the english not having iron, saltpetre (saltpeter for the USA guys ), coal etc etc, imo they WERE an easy take-out 50 turns ago

edit (along time later) - mind you i only settled this area in the last 30 or so turns, had huge amounts of barbs to get through before i could get there, in fact i got them again in the change to the industrial era and they pillaged my iron while i wasn't looking 2 turns ago

edit (an even longer time later), iron back on

WTH? i had two ships close to english land and this turn they are gone. i check diplo and im not at war with the english. i have plenty of money. the ships can be in the ocean. anybody know what happened to my ships? this is with portugal.

 

[zurichuk]

that's a bit weird , i'm not at war with you

 

[DogBoy]

I didn't get the save when I got up this morning, and it wasn't in my inbox when I got home. Is everybody ok?

 

[zurichuk]

i was watching the footie

(also i have to get out of this habit of going to bed at 4am so it might not always be there soon for you first thing in the morning [wife back t minus 3 weeks])

Guys, I am going on vacation. I will be gone from June 20-23 and from June 26-July 1. Sorry for the delay.

I just played and sent my turn before going out of town. I would like to personally thank Predesad for this game. I can't see what resources are underneath other people's cities, and I don't have the map fully scouted yet, but it appears to me as if there are only three rubber sources in this world.

*drum roll please*

I HAVE ALL THREE OF THEM

 

[DogBoy]

Ok, it looks like I was wrong when I said I had all three sources of rubber. My Greeks have FOUR sources and my Germans have ONE source. So that makes FIVE sources of rubber for me. I guess I was just in a hurry to play and send my turn before going out of town. And I still don't see anybody else having any rubber!

 

[Rubberjello]

You *do* realize that gloating isn't exactly winning you any friends.

 

[DogBoy]

Well, I didn't think I had too many friends in this game. I know that you and the English/Carthage are working together. And I just got done playing with you in the Predesad game. I know how you play (I think). So it really doesn't matter if I gloat or not.

Hmmm....I don't know if I should take offense to this or not. Exactly how do I play? ...And may I point out you and Civfanatic were cooperating on research also.

 

[DogBoy]

RJ: You should take it as a compliment. I think you are a good player. That is why I asked you if you wanted to take over this game. That's also why I asked you if you wanted to take over the Predesad-DogBoy 2 player alliance game. When I said I know how you play, I meant I know what you are probably thinking based upon a few things you have said in this game, and some of the things you said in the "New Conquests" game that I took over when Predesad left. Sun Tzu said if you know yourself and you know your enemies, then you will be successful. Well, I know myself. And I pay attention to everything that a player does/says in this game, as well as the other games I have played with him. So I try to know that player.

As for gloating, take a look at post #134 on page 7 of this thread.

And I enjoy playing with everybody in this game because they are such good players and can joke around without getting their feelings hurt.

 

[Rubberjello]

LoL! Good point about post #134.

My feelings weren't hurt at all. I implied that they were so that you would explain how you think I play so that I could change from that so I won't be too predictable!

 

[DogBoy]

Doh! Looks like you got me there. It won't happen again.
