Is that a veiled threat toward Sweetacshon if he doesn't post soon?

Hey gang, almost forgot about you. I checked one of your saves...t137 I think. I can't find your Oxford U. and no Biology yet. Yikes. Looks like Biology came in ~35 turns later than test games indicated (Bio target: turn 105).
However, you did go for Paratroopers first, so the earlier war/expansion might help a little. I'd still put you at least 30 turns off the pace at turn137.
I'm not familiar with how fast the game goes with a giant empire after Biology. It looks like you guys are planning to win about 50 turns after Biology. Assuming the top teams finish Post-Bio at the same pace you do, that means they're looking at turn 155 (with a turn 105 Biology).
I think your 50 turn, post-Biology pace is very strong. I did not expect it to go that fast. Good finish! Way to maintain focus on such a long game. I think the late Oxford/NationalPark is going to be your downfall.

I saw most of it. Not sure UFC needs a WWE type villan really. Lesnar needs to go with the flow his brand of personality won't fly long term.
I've been two two UFC events and both of them were well produced from a spectator side (much more so than the many boxing events I've gone to), and I was stunned that afterwards the stars were out in the lobby just shaking hands and signing autographs. Maybe that's in their contract or something, but it makes a decent impression on you.
It's also amazing to see some of these guys that an hour before were just ruined only to be out drinking a beer and chatting it up with the crowd.

Hi WT, nice to hear from you.
You're right, we delayed too much OU and maybe Bio and probably the mistake was not build NP in Capital. But 30 turns? I guess it was better we lightbulbed instead of settle GSs. Also, the Pyramids slowed a lot our expansion, delaying too much our cities and their growth.
Despite all the calculations for beakers i guess it was better lightbulb, but probably our main mistake was building Pyramids in Capital.
Sweeta, the weekend is gone, and you?
C'mon, it's the 13th.
Mesix, if Sweeta does not post in 12 hours, bring us to Alpha.

07/14 (Bastille Day, allons enfant...) 13 days to go.
If anybody gives a sign in 10 hours from now i'll grab the save and finish this one.
What the hell is that UFC, WWE and so on?

UFC 100 was this past weekend in Las Vegas. It is the Ultimate Fighter Championchip, one of the most popular human cockfighting (er cage fighting) leagues in the world right now. There were two championchip title matches (at different weight classes) in Satuday's event making it one of the biggest UFC fights ever. The current Heaveyweight Champion defended his title and celebrated with some unsportsmanlike (in the opinion of sports reporters) conduct following the match. His name is Brock Lesnar and he used to be a member of the WWE, an entertainment wrestling league where the fights are rigged and bad attitudes are part of the show which is scripted like a soap opera for men. Many critics feel that this type of behavior doesn't belong in the UFC where martial arts masters generally display a more humble and professional demeanor.
I think that Lesnar's antics are not only accepted by Dana White and the UFC officials, but encouraged. People who do not like Lesnar will tune in to the pay-per-view matches hoping that someone will knock him off his pedistal. His villan persona will also draw new fans to the UFC from the WWE crowd. All said it is a win-win situation for the UFC which will continue to increase in popularity either way.

Dang man, I know you ain't workin' that hard. I can see you from here. Wake up and post a PPP. Then play and lets get this thing over so we can move on to the next one.
Here's the PPP:
Tech:
Genetics (1) > Biology (1) finished on turn 187
Builds:
SS Lifesupport in Nippur finished on turn 189
SS Stasis Chamber in Lisbon finished on turn 189
We will launch on turn 189
Click end turn six more times for a turn 195 Victory!

If you would stop bringing in movies I might have time to play this SGOTM game or submit some HOF entires while I'm at work.

I would suggest watching the cool movie at the end too. Otherwise, looks good. Too bad we are 50 turns too late according to WT.
The cool movie at the end of the game was not made by Kevin Smith.

No, bring it to the end.
Just wait to complete the parts to research MM, or we'll lose the hammers from the temples. Then you can build some wonder and some ship.
50 turns? 30 maybe. But curiuos to see how.

Finally this one is ended.
Strange Sweeta did not gave a sign.
Let's wait Alan's OK, then let's investigate the other threads.
Just one thing. If we team for next SG, better be clear from now: we ALL must MM every micron every turn. And the PPPs must keep count of more events, at least in the early game.
