SGOTM 9 - Hagar

[Khan_Asparuh]

Checked up and ready to go, probably tomorrow... Got it.

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

I'm sorry guys, having troubles with the PC beast, can I have a skip?

 

[markh]

So, juballs is up I think.

 

[Andronicus]

Hi guys

nothing much seems to be happening ...

perhaps I'm not the only one losing interest in this game ?

to be honest, in my last turn, I just felt like pressing enter for however many turns it took for Gandhi to get off his friggin backside

I enjoyed the challenge of science race and blatting the other civs (hardly challenging on this level), but I now feel what we do (provided we dont interfere with Gandhi) will have little bearing on the outcome

if others are of a similar mind I suggest we get this SG over and done with - whoever wants to grab it and press enter a number of times just post a "got it" doing however many turns they feel like, unless something drastic happens where we actually have to make a tactical decision

of course if consensus is we continue 10 turns on rotation - fine, but lets get it moving ... I await other's opinion

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

If I make it with my PC, I can do this... The multi Enter click stuff... But have to reinstall windows (at least) and I have no time...
Otherways I agree, the rythm of 2 days between turns, for mere 10 turns makes it go as slow as a turtle. I would say a 20 turns each is nice solution too.

 

[markh]

I can take 20 today, so consider this a got it.

 

[juballs2001]

ok, after markh is done, i can take the next 10-20 turns... i have been unavailable for the past 5 days

[Abegweit]

got it. will play tomorrow morn.

 

[Andronicus]

I cant believe we've been so dumb!

Just looking at civilopedia for requirements for Appollo and sure enough req aluminium. Where's aluminium? - not on our starting continent. Have to go to island south of XCeltia or to XSpain to find it.

And there was me knocking Gandhi out of Madrid to force him on concentrating on his home continent when all he wanted to do was get his hands on some aluminium so he could take us for a ride in his SS.

Grrr.

Suggest we remove the MI from Miami and vacate XSpain.

oh my, and i distinctly remember thinking about this too....
"well at least ghandi has resources... now we play a waiting game... well not so much"

well this should extend our game a few more turns

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Quite a few, yes. OK, must empty spain... Come on, nice G. Come to Ally.

 

[markh]

Anybody out there ? I can take another 20 this evening if nobody objects.

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Abegweit has it, he has been here this morning but hasn't posted. Watch out not to play the same turns simultaneously.

 

[Andronicus]

Um, its been 5 days since Abegweit's got it - I'm also avail to play some turns
