RSG4 NOW Emperor Spain

[Raliuven]

Toxic, not sure if you are back or not? I apologize, I'm going to be very sporadic in posting until the end of September. I've got a big project at work and it is sucking up all my family and free time. I'm trying to check in and keep things moving along.

I can't really play until Sunday due to work, but if nobody picks it up I can sure spend the afternoon with both SGs.

Well, this game seems to be pretty well stuck.

We'd said we were going for conquest, but we could reach domination very quickly (we need somewhere in the vicinity of 150 tiles, with lots more than that sitting empty), and I'd rather finish the game than let it sit forever. Can someone pick it up and finish out the last few turns? I would, but I played the last set, and I don't want to keep someone else from playing if they can. If someone has an objection to domination, speak up quickly.

If no one else can play, I'd be happy to finish it off.

 

[TheOverseer714]

I can take a set Saturday, I think we're on a straight path to victory. This one is won, just needs the icing on the cake. NOWs should be a Conquest, any other VC would not be proper.

 

[CKS]

I'm fine with that. I just don't want to leave this game unfinished, and its been almost 3 weeks since anyone played a set.

Lurker's Comment: What happened to the idea of revolting into Democracy?

 

[Raliuven]

I just finished my turn in RSG5. Overseer if you can play that would be great. Otherwise I might have time on Sunday.

 

[TheOverseer714]

I managed a 5 turn set, everything is primed for Raliuven to take it home! See the turnlog for details.
