SGOTM 16 - U'nu'sual S'us'pec'ts

Meeting any new AI is a stop condition, right?

I guess so. Do you guys want it to be? I'm sure we'll meet an AI on the next turn or the turn after. Would you rather me meet the rest of the AI and then stop?

I guess my point is I don't think meeting an AI on the next turn should merit a stop since the group will say, "well let's not do anything until we meet everyone else"

But if you want to stop, that's certainly fine by me!

 

[Revent]

Agreed. I think it is likely we have Toku in the game. Two of our AI are in the list below. Since Toku is a bastard, I think the odds are skewed in his favour The other AI I think is Saladin since we have a religion founder as well.

Saladin
Justinian
Tokugawa
Genghis
Mehmed
Suleiman

I think stopping by and just posting a screenshot will be great! Other than that, don't think a stop is needed unless a trade comes up perhaps? Even then, probably not.

That works. Check the trade and diplo screens, and then continue. Definitely stop at Astro to discuss open borders. Is there a benefit to opening borders the turn before Astro comes in, or should we do it the turn after?

 

[neilmeister]

Agreed, no point stopping unless there are tech trade opportuniites, until Astro that is.

edit: all trade routes are recalculated whenever you open borders, so we do not need to do it before Astro, we can do it the turn we research it

 

[Deckhand]

Why did we call it East Fish? It's almost our western most city. I just got really confused by this.

mea culpa
I know I'm not the only one that makes direction mistakes while posting. At least this mistake didn't have any game impact.

No, wait. It's what neil said, "I meant to do that".

I too was confused by East Fish, I thought it was a clever reverse name.

Feel free to rename it.

oops

See you in December.

Interesting list.

So I think the conclusion is that I'll keep playing until either Astro finishes or we meet everybody, whichever comes first.

I'll stop because of AIs if something interesting happens (aka, we meet our second Toku, , we get demanded something, an AI already has 34 cities, etc etc).

Other stop conditions include the normal ones: war declarations, demands, interesting trade opportunities. I may stop also if we lose both of our triremes. Really I'll stop for anything that won't have a unanimous response from the team and if I don't know, I'll stop.

Good Luck Benginal - Bring us the stars.

Only some sort of crazed, sadistic, mapmaker* would put more than one Toku in a game.

Sounds good to me. Carry on!

Unless they were Toku's of different nations, that would make it OK

 

[neilmeister]

Alright. I'll look to play in either 16 or 24 hours depending on how real life is going.

Can you please post in the thread when you are about to start.

The times you mention are 00:41 or 08:41 Australian time.

So, I should stiil be awake for the first time, and I will stay up if you are playing.
It would be good if I can give timely feedback to any situations that may arise.

Of course!

It's gonna be the afternoon time (for me). So hopefully I get ready to play around 4:00 here on the US east coast which I guess is 8:00 your time? We also just had daylight savings time so everything is a little confused.

I'll wait until I see a good number of people online.

But we're looking for about 5.5 or 6 hours from now.

 

[ChrisShaffer]

Don't wait for me. Green.

 

[neilmeister]

Indeed, you play when you can

 

[Benginal]

Homework's giving me problems. I'm itching to play though, so this turnset will definitely happen today. With the homework done or not, .

EDIT: The PPP has been updated. Feel free to look through it, although nothing to drastic has been changed.

 

[neilmeister]

Just re-read the PPP.

Don't bother with watermills, they suck! (until Electricity & RP that is)
Chop or pre-chop forests first.

Alright. Pre-chopping is a good idea. I'll have them do that instead!

 

[Benginal]

Starting the game up now, btw. I'll probably spend a good while making sure I know what I'm about to do before starting. So don't get tooo excited, but expect updates soonish. (matlab can go die, actually I quite like matlab. I think my assignment should go die instead.)

 

[Revent]

Matlab is a blessing!

But let's hope for the best AI
