So we are heading on to the future and plan for the next SGOTM. But before we do so we must finish SGOTM 9 dignified. We were the team of newbies and had a great captain who introduced us to SGOTM. At the end we have to acknowledge that,
our captain Bede has left the Civ 3 world forever.
But no great captain of SGOTM shall go to the eternal civ3 map (Type: Pangaea, Size: Endless, Barbarians: none ) without being mourned!
So the Viking warlords - beaten by superior culture (Christianity, or something like that) - but undefeated on the field of glory, are gathering to their final “Ting” around the funeral pyre of their captain to sing the heroic epic of Bede, Great Lord of the civers:
Hail to Bede, Great Lord of the civers!
Since SGOTM 3 long ago BEDE did rule;
always keeping and guarding the schedule;
BEDE accepted for him the noble task;
to introduce all the newbies, who had so much to ask;
BEDE taught Mason to water the cattle;
and Crazybeard to guard the one who shall settle;
BEDE demonstrated for Crakie uploading and placing the save in the post;
and showed Madviking, the benefits of killing opponents only almost;
BEDE advised Bahzell to keep peaceful while he does the dwellings establish;
and introduced us all to the fact that fascism is rubbish;
BEDE didn’t feel any fear facing a superior foe;
no matter how many techs more this one ever would know;
Hail to Bede, Great Lord of the civers!
May you further our efforts look upon;
and forever in our hearts civ on!

Whoooohoooooohooooohoooohoooooo….!
Crakie, Crazybeard, Bahzell, Madviking, Marc Aurel
