PH02: Eight Angry Men

[GreyFox]

You are going OoP as well??? We might as well close up shop and call it a game.

Oh, you ar egoing to be away for only 4 days? ok ...happy independence day.

 

[pholkhero]

I have it, but won't play until 24hrs later ...

playing?

 

[GreyFox]

played, reports coming up. Be patient, pholky fellow.

 

[GreyFox]

Okay, this turn out to be an extremely short turnset. Played in under 15 mins. Processing the pictures and typing this is going to take longer

One thing is I forget to turn on autolog ... not that its going to contain much anyway.

The major highlight is one warrior (note, its one whopping warrior) died at the arrows and dagger of our archer south of Sparta.

Otherwise, its a simply a quick succession of pressing enters. Its Epic, we should have gone for another round of 15 turns each.

Anyway, it was untl my very last turn that I have something to do.

That's when Alphabet come in ... and when I was expecting Spock to tell me what he knows about Alphabet ... instead, it was Bismarck that come knocking at my door first. Impatient fellow ... even more impatient than that dude who call himself pholky and has a head band ... who is that anyway? Looks like Sammeul Hung to me

Geez ... you haven't learnt writing?

Despite his threatening us (albeit empty, but he threatened us nonetheless, that swayed me and earn him my vote to kill first over Genghis), I decided that it wasn't in every game that an Emperor AI has not learnt writing when we have alphabet, so I offered him a trade, and got us Masonry.

And, now, its Spock's turn to speak:

None of the AI has alphabet, so go do some trading if you want.

Note that there is even someone who need our Mysticism

But I would advice not trading alphabet so fast. Gives the AI some time to research something more bfore giving them the ability to trade among themselves.

There is a barb axe near Athens, hopefully he is going to bugger the Germans instead of us.

Here is the save: >>>> 400BC <<<<

 

[pholkhero]

not being impatient...just being....uhm...excited ~

nice B O R I N G turnset

Maybe we should research something other than Maths since a couple AIs have that already ~ any recollection of where else we can head??

The man with the headban' is Riley Martin. Check out his website: The Coming of Tan Have YOU been saved by Riley Martin??

Roster, roster, who's got the roster?
Pholk> UP NOW
Munter> on deck and hopefully will still be here for another set or two
Lobster>
Fox> just played
Frank> sick

 

[GreyFox]

IIRC, all other reserach options has even more AIs knowing it ... but I admit I did not check the trade screen before selecting Maths ... why bother anyway? The next player will do the checking and veto as necessary ... IF the next player is dilligent enough, that is

EDIT: one thing you could do is use Mysticsm and trade with whoever the poor fellow is that still does not have Mysticism and see if that opens up more research options.

I thought your new avatar was Webster: The Crack Years.

 

[pholkhero]

Webster wishes.

I've got it.

 

[Lobsterboy]

At this stage, you can't do much in 10 turns (which is why I played 15!! ).

It must be Mao or Toku who don't have Mysticism. Hopefully, Mao will give us Agriculture for it.

Is our copper hooked up yet? Methinks it's time to get another city founded.

 

[pholkhero]

AGain, no time, exec summary:

I swap our research to Horseback Riding since i figger we'll get Maths from someone soon.

i lose an archer to a barb axe at Athens, but avenge him next turn!

A german settler stole our city site to the south and with it our horses. THat should be target #1, i think.

Sparta: Granary>Barracks.

I also connected our our Copper, our Gold and our Pigs to Athens! 2 phalanx are in production, with 1 just having been whipped for 2 pop at Athens. It'll be ready next turn.

 

[pholkhero]

Oh, I didn't trade Alpha yet b/c i didn't want Fox to yell at me, but Munter should probably trade it around for now. Let's build up our cities for the coming years!!

 

[GreyFox]

Since Pholk is off to God knows where, and Munterpipe is still enjoying his France beat Brazil dream-turn-relailty in Paris, here is the roster ...

== Pholk << Just Played
== Munter << Skip til 12 July
== Lobster << UP
== Fox << On Deck Again???
== Frank << Still sick? Get well soon buddy!

we are down to two man!!!

[Munterpipe]

You are doing great guys!
Alè le bleu!

 

[GreyFox]

Lobsterboy???

Jesus, I AM THE ONLY PLAYER IN THE SG STILL IN POCKET ... ...

and we haven't even got to the part where the 8 men in the game start to get angry ...

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

lurker's comment: Wow, you guys are still alive? Who'd have thought it? Well, good luck with this SP, Fox. I'll jump in if you can use another OOP player.

Seriously, PM Chrth, and you two can finish it before Thursday.

 

[pholkhero]

Grey (et al) ~ lobster, i think, is away. if you want to and have time, you can play!

 

[SpriteSODA]

Lobsterboy???

Yeah, like me at The 'Teers. Its cus independace day=P

 

[frankcor]

I'm released from the hospital and feel well. You guys have done great. I'm ready to play in rotation.

 

[GreyFox]

Yeah, like me at The 'Teers. Its cus independace day=P

But AFAIK, pholky is the only pholking American here ... and he is around on Independence Day!!!

@frankcor: Great, hope your health continue to improve! I can play tonight (12~13hrs), so most likely you can slip in after me ... but if you can grab it and play and post the save+report within 12 hrs, don't let me stop you!!!

[pholkhero]

I had internet access, but only from a laptop. my intention was to cheer the team on, but i was merely cheering on GreyFox and 2 lurkers

Okay, let's let Fox play now and Frank can be up after that or, if lobster is back, he can play first since technically he was up, but i have no problem with you going after that (since you may even be up in the other SG, too at this time if you want and have time today/tonight)

back on thread, then, if munter's back, HE can go, and i'll be last, so...

greyfox>
lobster/frank
Munter (if returned at that time)
Pholkhero
