Firstly, Reminders now work across turns (see right!). I take a quick tour of our civ and like what I see ... good job EP. A brief summary is that we are at our happy cap. We have 1 city that is Jewish and we haven't selected a religion yet. If we go Jewish, Qin, Isabella and Roosevelt will like us. Saladin will hate us even more. That said, we might have our own home grown religion in 7 turns (Confusedism).
We also have a Great Scientist ... oops, not any more, academy at Kyoto.
On the battle front, we have a good mix of units in Chinese territory with a spy mapping out the lands. However, we have no cats. By turns end, we have at least 7. I also notice (and then forget) that our new city (Kagoshima) has no garrison. I say 'forget' because I got a warning re barbarian activity and just happened to notice that it was near our undefended city. Luckily we had a spare archer in our capital that I sent over.
We haven't mapped our the land very well so I send a Chariot West hoping to find some AIs that are a long way away (and thus our friends!). To this end, I meet Stalin in 425AD. Hmmn - could be better as he isn't that keen on mutual trade (a bit like Japan, I suppose).
We discover Confucianism (founded in Kagoshima) ... we are still to adopted a religion ... lets discuss what we want to do here ... my thinking is Confucianism because we will be waring with our AI neighbours anyway (mostly Jewish).
So at the end of my turn, I actually pull some trades (Construction to Bismark - possible friend - for Priesthood, Monotheism and Sailing). I also raze that offending Chinese city and get the following peace deal (as well as a Great General - any comments on where to put him - at the moment, I like the 2XPs in our Eastern hammer rich city) ...
I then notice that Spain has touched our borders (these wars are going to occur often ... we better be very well placed militarily), declare war and nab 2 free workers via a catapult trap.
Note of caution - our relationships could be better - and there are some interesting 'friend' blocks developing.
Saladin - Immediate North, enemy
Salin - Far East, possible friend
Kublai Khan - ?, assuming friend, doesn't like us because we traded with his worse enemy (Bismark)
Isabella - Immediate East, enemy
Bismark - ?, assuming friend
Roosevelt - Immediate South East, enemy
Sitting Bull - North East, possible friend
Qin - Immediate South, enemy
Have I hate that they swapped Qin and Kublai, I look at Qin and think mongolia ... why did they swap pics! I know they got it wrong at the beginning but they should have just lived with it. How about we have an option to swap these buggers back.
I'm a bit disappointed with myself that I didn't build any more settlers. I think we really need to grab our marked city sites and soon.

We also lost our spy in China early (turn 3 or 4) ... logger didn't pick it up.

... the GS was born in EPs round and the whole team had heaps of time for input ... (slack a$$ed team!).
@ all of you. I would have used the GS to build an Academy, as that's what I usually do with the first if I'm not gonna be able to trade techs. However, given that he was born 3 turns before the end of my set, I figured we could discuss if necessary. Clearly, it wasn't necessary. 
... just exceeded the 48 hrs ... Alerum, can you please give us an update on where you are at?
