Ruff07 - Poor Marvin, but really ... who cares?

[Ralph_Jackson]

Hello Marvin here having discovered just how daft humans can be....

"Well I have discovered a new rule number 1 for SG's, don't come home and find your wife using your BTS DVD as a coffee mat. (No I am not joking!!)

Must now purchase a new one as it is knackered."

Swap Please!!

Ralph

 

[ruff_hi]

sneaky wife - well done her. Are you sure it wasn't deliberate? I'm sure Feraxisys (I wish they had an easier name to spell) will ship you a new one.

Hi there! This is Eddie your the Shipboard Computer coming to you from a small island somewhere off the coast of I have no clue-land. When are we going to get machines that can run off fresh air? Someone pulled the plug on the Heart of Gold and I've been off-line since. What has been happening? Oh, I see a roster has been posted and no 'got it' from RJ. Can someone say skip! No? Ok, can someone say DROP? YES!

'Ey, I'm Mahvin. An' I'll tell you my story.

Once upon a time I waled past the worst slum I ave ever seen. Sabratha. Nothing good about this late game filler city.

Then I went to the Foreign Office in Carthage to conduct some trades.

And then Augustus does not want Theology. It just doesn' turn up in the trade list. What? I reload to the original save. Theology he does not have. I am quite annoyed. If it doesn't show up next turn....

It does. WE ALSO get Machinery from Augustus for Theo and Paper, and Contruction +80 gold from Willem for Paper.

What's this, Moose?

What's this, Hannibal? I'm having bad feelings about this. It's depressing me.

I converted to Hinduism and became a Theocratic robot for this?

I'd disgusted.

Finally, Hannibal settled 2 cities recently. BUILD A LIGHTHOUSE IN OEA YOU IDIOT>

I picked Education because we can broker back to parity when we do get it.

I have a brain the size of a planet, by the way.

This game is kinda frustrating. I would have declared on Willem by now. Oh, and can we end the revolt in Golga? We're losing 1GPT. I gave all the gold to Hannibal. If I hadn't got some from Willem we'd have been disbanded

Got it. Any suggestions for me? I can play tonight with the report tommorow.

 

[ruff_hi]

have fun, and make the report fun. Suggestions for game play - no, not a one .

 

[GreyFox]

Eddie ... stop repeating the same mistake re Ralph v Tycoonist. I expect GPP-imbued AI to not blindly cut-n-paste. Suggest you edit your post with the roster, so that next time you cut-n-paste (blindly) again, the same mistake would not perpetuate.

Hi There! What is that old saying about really screwing up?

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer. ~Farmer's Almanac, 1978

Ho hum. Walk, road, chop, road, watermill ... the endless stream of stupid jobs that these humans give me. Only the other day, they asked me to go see the Romans and to discuss something with them ... it seems that Augustus doesn't have a sense of humor ...

If that is the case, then I guess I better build myself some protection ...

Gee, these humans can be trouble ...

Well, some of them are useful ...

I guess I should help Hannibal out ...

[OOC]Why are we in over 400 yrs of revolt?

 

[ZPV]

Why are we in over 400 yrs of revolt?

On the inherited turn, it appears someone has told our idiot nation that the unstoppably deadly but strangely unspecified impending doom that caused their flight from Golgafrincham was in fact a scam. They have gone into a 1500 year revolt, until they hear that the remaining 2/3 of the population died from an infection spread on unsanitized 'phones. At that point they will celebrate for the rest of the game and still do nothing.

How do you do the 502 turn revolt? Somehow in WB?

I made a size 1000 barbarian city in WB and captured it by putting a mech inf. there.




Got it. I'll play later today.

 

[Rex rgis of Ter]

Sorry I couldn't get it. I have been in hospital so I'll be off the roster for a week.

no problem - hope everything is ok.

 

[ZPV]

Sorry for the delay everyone. I had a little trouble with opening the game.

I played an indeterminate number of turns to 1355 AD.
I made peace with Augustus for 60 gold and begged 1gpt from Hannibal to pay our civic costs.

Not much else happened.

We are researching Printing Press, which Saladin doesn't have.

Here's the save
