PH19: The RNGod Must Be Crazy

[ruff_hi]

Did the turn limit for the civ objective expire? If so, I'll have to consult the list of penalties.

 

[·Imhotep·]

Yes, the save is from turn 116...

 

[ruff_hi]

Punishments:
Roll Punishment
---- ----------
1 Destroy (2d6) own improvements
2 Whip all cities [1]
3 Move (1d6) units to the northmost reachable point, another (1d6) to the southmost reachable point.
OR Get (1d6) units to circumnavigate the globe
4 Change all civics to most basic form [2]
5 Empty all cities for (1d6) turns
6 Gift away a (1d6: 1,2=city, 3,4=tech, 5,6=great persons) [3]

Footnote:
---------
[1] Must revolt to slavery if possible. Escape punishment if it is not.
If city is not whippable, it must be whipped as it becomes whippable.
[2] Eg: Free Market -> Decentralization.
[3] Escape punishment if no AI is willing to accept any city/tech/GP,
or if we do not have anything to gift away in 10 turns.

I must admit that I laughed out loud while reading Imhotep's report ... I was also left wondering how you did with Churchill and his new sheep.

I don't have access to the RNDGod's dice at work so I will have to let you know your punishment when I get home.

 

[Ozbenno]

I'll await word of punishments but have a GOT it anyway.

The RNGod is a harsh master sometimes.

Someone recently posted in S&T "does anyone ever lose a war" .

 

[ruff_hi]

Pick up your axe, come fourth and receive the benefits from your RNDGod ... instead ... you unwisely decided to come fifth and ...

This will not be suffered ... you will be punished ... your puny citizens will suffer for your lack of fulfillment.

Spoiler :

2 Whip all cities [1]

 

[Ozbenno]

OK, all cities to be whipped.

Will roll a new team and personal objective, can I do this first before whipping or does whipping have to be done first??

 

[ruff_hi]

Will roll a new team

I wouldn't do that if I were you ... you never know how the RNDGod will react to you using a different prophet.

On a different matter ... is there a penalty for missing a personal objective?

 

[ruff_hi]

Oh my minions, your lack of results have left me disheartened. However, I am a random God and I will ask for a random task ... a task that will help you in your current situation ... I ask for a a a a shrubbery with 38 different shrubs in it! Oh, ok ... then I will accept a Golden Age.

Spoiler :

1 1/36 Start a Golden Age
oops - rolled 2 lots of turn durations - take the top one.

 

[Ozbenno]

36 turns to start a Golden Age?

Seems doable if we have Writing.

 

[ruff_hi]

... 38 different shrubs in it!

Yes, 36 turns and you would still have 2 turns to spare. This is how rumours start.

Edit: Clarke out for 210 ... average for 2012 crashes.

 

[pholkhero]

Any luck on your computer Oz or are you stuck at the Aussie Open?

Lmk and i will pick this up.

 

[pholkhero]

got it

 

[Ozbenno]

Any luck on your computer Oz or are you stuck at the Aussie Open?

Just had a 4 day long weekend and didn't even get a second to try and re-install civ. Think I'm not going to have the time for this RL is insanely busy for the forseable future, so might just fade into the background and lurk.

Really sorry

 

[pholkhero]

that's np ~ it happens to even the best of us, oz ~

back to the abomination we call a game here

Very little to report that's good except that i secured my personal objective. I rolled a five: "culture pop or improve AI attitude." Since there was no way to do the former, i gifted meditation to churchill for a bump up to pleased. Course, he only stayed there for a few turns, but at this point, i'll take any victory we can get.

Monarchy came in. I set out sights on Aesthetics in the hopes that we can trade to backfill a bit. Now, churchill wants Monarchy for ABCs which i didn't take. Also, Washington won't take peace for less than Poverty Point, so i said no to that.

In response, 2 swords and 3 chariots are outside the city, which is defended by a sword and a warrior. We can't really whip as I lashed all our cities at the outset for punishment PLUS PP is only a pop1 now.

And so it goes.

Not sure what the RNGod has in store for us, but it probably isn't good. We should have a settler ready in Cahokia next set, but will need a galley to ship up north. We also will need more WBs as a barb plundered all our nets (not that we can grow much right now anyway).

 

[pholkhero]

Forgot to mention on the bright side: we'll have a Great Person soon enough so can fulfill our global objective.

Global Objective:
01) Found Religion
02) t001-t081: Spread our religion to three cities - Completed
03) t081-t116: Capture a City with new resources-Failed; Whipped all Cities
04) t116-t154: Start a Golden Age - in Progress

Maybe the RNGod should cheat us an army in WB since we have been good boys now

I'm sorry ... what? Unfortunately, I cannot ask him as my work internet connection doesn't like Mr Magic 8-ball.
