SGOTM 11 - The Python Gang

[Own]

We're making progress. I'm going to have to be skipped from now to sunday, I have too many people here, and will have no time to do this.

 

[Marsden]

I understand Own, have a happy Thanksgiving. To classical hero and JammerUno, just for your information, Thursday this week is Thanksgiving Day, a national holiday in the United States. I hope I'm not too obvious, but I wasn't sure if you were aware of that.

 

[JammerUno]

I was aware of the existence of so-called holiday, but not of it's specific date. I'm in the middle of some exams right now anyway so it's fine by me,

 

[Marsden]

I have the save, I expect to have it back in about 8 hours or less.

BTW, just to help us coordinate better, I am at the same time as the forum time, GMT -5.
Own is in the same time zone as well. I think, JammerUno is 10 ahead and classical hero 7 behind. Please correct me if that's wrong.

So, if I finish at 7pm or 1900 my time, it will be 0500 in the morning for JammerUno and noon or 1200 for classical hero.

 

[JammerUno]

I am in the GMT+1 timezone, So there's only the 6h difference there, my posting times are a bit off because my daily rithm is off by about 4h. I get up at 12:00 and fall asleep at 04:00, living the life of the typical student.

 

[Marsden]

Here is the save http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/sgotm11/The_Python_Gang_SG011_AD0550_01.SAV

I destroyed Edo, I didn't think I could hold it. Chinese spearmen pillaged our furs, and we are at war with everyone but Russia and Ottomans. Egypt is attacking us with swords and maces, plus I just saw Korea has Knights. Most of the time I was just trying to hold what we have while trying to mount an offensive. I wanted to hit India, but I couldn;t get in position. The French have crusaders. Dehli deposed and we lost some units, I retook it but I don't know how long we can hold it. I hope Madras doesn't flip.

 

[classical_hero]

We can wait for own to take it. Or Jammeruno, who ever is up.

 

[JammerUno]

I don't think it's me.

 

[Marsden]

It seems that Allan and FMR have deserted.

So the order is
Marsden - Up
Jammeruno - On deck
Own
classical_hero - Played
AllanC - On skip
FMR - On Skip.

The other can come off the skip if they show up.

classical_hero played and then I, if we keep that order JammerUno would be next. Unfortunately or not, last time Own played before JammerUno, so it really is up to either of you. Just that classical and I have played.
I know Own was busy with holidays and JammerUno with exams, but please someone take it soon as I sent it back a week ago now. I demand nothing, this is a game after all, but please let us not lapse into week after week of inactivity. Thanks.

 

[Own]

I can play tomorrow, but not on weekend, so I'll take it now.

 

[Marsden]

Thanks, Own! Good luck. I was getting overwhelmed with Korean knights showing up plus fighting Egyptians and Arabs, plus some Indian and Chinese and of course Japan. I can't believe I let the $%@% Chinese spearman pillage our furs, reconecting is a priority. Also, the French are dropping of crusaders. It's a tough spot. But at least I killed the source of Japanese Ancient Cavalry.

 

[Marsden]

How we doin' Own. Did you play the save?

 

[Own]

I have been playing, just am not done yet. I've put off 3 long term projects in 3 different classes convientely due the same day (monday), so have been working on those over civ. I've played 4, will finish today.

 

[Marsden]

Just checking, I know projects are important. I don't want you to infer that I am demanding progress, only checking in. Thanks!

 

[Own]

I understand, it's hard to convey your tone in text, it depends on how the read wants to take it. When I type something that may sound arrogant or rude, but isn't intended to be, I just put a at the end.

I have played some today, the turns are stressful, long after I'm done moving guys, I have to build up a lot of guts to hit enter.

 

[Marsden]

How we doin' Own?

 

[Own]

I'll just post my progress now.
