Turn 0 1700 AD
I want to be verbose but this games in the bag.
Were at war w/ the Maya.
Our population is happy w/ our 5 total luxuries, 1 imported.
We have nice forces but not overwhelming numbers.
Our army and MI in Mayan territory are both very beat up.
Superconductor is the last tech we need to finish parts and its set to come in three turns enabling us to build two SS parts.
A massive employment of scientists brings the research down to 2 turns.
IBT:
Plenty of WLTK days
Turn 1 1705 AD
All new builds are for cash or pre-builds for parts.
Turn 2 1710 AD
Superconductors in and Nuclear powers next in 4 turns.
IBT: Internet has been built.
Turn 6 1730 AD
Researching Laser in 4 turns and setting up prebuilds.
Turn 10 1750 AD
Laser in and researching Robotics in 4 turns.
Pre-build switched to SS Party Lounge at the loss of a few shields.
Theres a pre-build in Pusan that will be more than enough sheilds for the Stasis Chamber.
Along the way we managed to raze two Mayan cities for kicks and kill off a number of ships. On the flip side of that I left some seriously injured ships out in the open along w/ our transports that got pinched.
Well, Misfit... it's your honor to push the button. Send us to the stars buddy.
A few cities are a bit miffed about the war so you might want to push entertainment to 10% just because you can.
Great game everyone.

Very nice job to all on the team! In retrospect, perhaps we should have done emporer. I must admit, that I'm now temporarily tired of Space wins. Anyone have opinions as to an R&L02? Perhaps a Dutch conquest, or a Zulu 100K (nah, too long). Maybe one of the capturing civs. What about variants?

I was on Team Bugsy for SGoTM 1-4, but am sitting this one out (as is Sir Bugsy) after we decided to split up. I am up for a go again in SGoTM6.
I've been on different teams for 3, 4, and 5. If you want to play in 6, I'll be glad to join your team as I obviously don't have a strong preference for any particular group so far. The Peanuts are nice, but I am one of their extra players for sgotm5 and don't think I'll be able to permanently join them.
What about a militaristic civ on a pangea in PTW (for leader farming) for an early 20K? For spice, could make it a AW or oscillating AW variant.

I'll start this out w/ a stupid question...
Is the SGOTM simply the GOTM played in SG format? I have not read anything, not that it isn't there, that clearly explains this.
Well, unless one of you already has a team with a spiffy name that we can join I would propose Team JB* (*please come up w/ a better name than this
) with a starting roster of
RowAndLive
rrau
jb1964
DMJGator and Misfit, if your sticking with Xteam great, if not then you have first dibs on additions to the roster.
I'll post our entry into the fray on the GOTM thread shortly, or whatever it is you do to show you have your hat in the ring.
BTW, how do we communicate w/o tipping our hat (spoilers) to the other players?
My main goal with this experiment is to get into the nitty-gritty of the opening moves and strategy of the early games. Although I have been a part of many SG's I was not active in the early game and decision making process.
Anyway, I'm pumped about this.

You have missed the cut off for the current SGOTM. We have already started playing. It A new one will not start for another month and 1/2. Go over to the SGOTM forum and read the "stickies" at the top to find out about the SGOTM.

Trek... ewww... 
As far as 'Team jb', may the force be with us! (Original SW fan
) I look forward to it, but in the mean time, we can do R&L02. Hey, I have another idea. For SGoTM6, we could be 'Team Spoons', with Misfit as our leader! 
Concerning R&L02, I'll run a few starts tonight using rrau's suggestions (and some equally corny story too!).
Looking for a grand finish, Misfit!

PreTurn:
Not much. I realize that I've never researched Stealth - Genetics - Integrated Defence or Smart Weapons...well I'm not going to start now.
IBT:
Seoul finishes an offshore platform. I decide to build a Modern Paratrooper because I've not seen one of those either.
Start a whole bunch of other builds - The Military Agency finishes (I hope that wasn't a prebuild for a space part
)
Turn 1 (1752 AD)
Bomb some stuff kill a few Myans
Just for the fun of It I turn Seoul to Wealth and MM for max cash. We can actually get 268gpt from this city alone.
IBT:
Turn2 (1754AD)
More Bombing
IBT:
Turn3 (1756AD)
More of the same
IBT:
Finish Robotics and start Genetics
Turn4 (1758 AD)
Switch Manhatten Project to Stasis Chamber wasting 268 shields
IBT:
Head for the stars!
Save after finish
