I think we won't get spooned, although we would deserve it.
Now time to look at those spoilers ...

You seem to have achieved the latest finish so far, but your entertainment value has been very high

I think we were the only ones where an AI managed to get going. Knew we should've tried a few phoney wars vs. her.
However we got to back our words with Nuclear Weapons. Then just used them anyway

Not official in any other way. You bet.
We settled the plain instead of the desert, unlike most, counting better odds of 2 BG's under the trees. So we got the rep slinger and that's about it. One other thing that was good about this position is the walkie-talkies that we found buried in the forests, which allowed for efficient control over the hippie sect leaders everywhere.
This, however, is the part where we screw up. The first one anyways. Under tons of pressure and spam, our units went to die in line at Beijing. 45 times over and over again, and a few times more. No MGL either for a nice FP. It all went at a decripit slowness. Except the post count.
We didn't really think about research, figuring we had better things to talk about, including the design of the idiot academy tower in Idiot Academy. Some time after a lot of time, we eventually got flight, but didn't quite make the most of it.
Of a general courteous nature, we needed help from experts in unexpertness of pick-up lines to declare war on the english - their leader is a she, and we couldn't just moon her, could we ? So after a "Nice shoes, wanna fu*k?", it was a common agreement that nukes were in order.
All of this is slightly besides the point though, because what really matters is the people of this story.
Mao Tse Tung of China finished his days at a bakery in WoodenForkCity. He could never stand the fact America was a republican country, much preferring the strenght of dynasties like the Chain. It is an uncommonly known fact that the Chain rule extended in China from 6000-3750 BC and saw the earliest forms of calculus be spoken. You should taste his raisin bread though, hmmmmmmmm
Alexander of Greece is today a flight attendant. Before he was a sailing attendant on cruises off that western island with iron and horses, but ferries only ran so long out there. Prices were way off scale and the cruise compagny bankrupted in 1654 AD.
Julius of Rome was the next to take his retirement. He first tried being a stripper in an airport near Antium but very few of the military people affected to Japan were homosexual. However, the last worker crews that still worked that island (or rather, were blatantly forgotten there by that careless french canadian idiot) provided him with a garden hose and a shovel with which he holds a nice garden for Tokugawa.
Tokugawa of Japan is elderly and weak now. Poor Toku lives in a retirement house for japanese war veterans near Airbase iota. The place is dull and there are actually more scientists than other people there; however the garden is bloody nice.
Ragnar of the vikings brews a red beer that only he and his last berserk squad know to appreciate. It is the same 56%, thick liquor that he and his aforementionned legion drank before successfully attacking and destroying an entire regiment of fortified modern armors near Copenhagen. That stuff almost makes you blind the first time around, so when illusions of grandeur and strenght hit you and you're looking for a magic potion, be careful kids.
Lizzie of England is now working at a french bordel in WoodenSpoonTon, right beside that little bistro where they sell the best garlic shrimps of the landmass. She hears a lot of those pick-up lines, and smiles at all of them now.
Lincoln of America died in 1812 AD of suicide. After he and Brigadier General Killmaim (cf spoiler 1 and that evil spammy thread) spent the last days of the english empire playing croquet, both concluded that life was not worth it without the love and care of the only woman they knew: Elizabeth. Truth be told, they are the 2 clients she's ever refused at the bordel. Too bad they never heard about the F-screen chicks, life could have been much better for them.

The notes I was gleaning from the thread were more of a chronological listing of wars and tech advancements. Far too factual to be of much use in our spoiler.
A very high compliment indeed. As I say in my sig "Just here to have fun", and it's been quite a lot of fun.

I'm going to have to replay those final turns just to have the fun of using the nukes. BTW, I thought our population was going to have a major fit when we did start nuking so I guess I was wrong on that.
Reading through some of the threads of those that have finished I see that they were running their tanks up against muskets and rifles, however, I see that some of the teams yet to finish are in for a big fight.
Bede, having finished Flight, is working on Motor Transport in the mid 1700's and Rome is sitting on more than a 130 infantry. In their game Rome has slaughtered Japan. So that's about the only upside there.

Yep, reading through the other threads they used gifting cities and reclaiming them a turn later to great effect. The AI was "scared" and gave up cities in the peace deal. In most cases these cities were held and made a good foothold to start taking the other Civs after ony researching Flight.
Additionally, the wars did not seem to hinder the pace of research in a bad way. I think it gave the top teams a way to stay at the front of the tech pace and make advantageous trades.
Fascinating.

Well, we have a shot at the spoons. We still have the latest finish but there are two teams (bede and obormot) that will finish later than us, if they finish. And Team Tim could finish later if they take their own sweet time.
I'm laying a side bet of a six pack of Bass Ale that they don't finish before the 15th.
Team Obormot, Communists, in 1820 have broken out the nukes and are pumping MA like there was no tomorrow.
Team Bede, Monarchy, is five turns from AdvFlight in 1770 and Caesar has Rockets and Computers. It will be a tough fight but these guys don't lose.
After looking over Team Tim's save in 1500 they're 5 turns from Motor and can move on to AdvFlight right away. They're ahead in techs and will likely dominate their opponents once the landings begin. They did not seem to discover the ability to blackmail the AI's out of towns like the top finishers. Where they have a foothold they pretty much own the landmass. They should easily finish before we did.

Obormot finished in 1953 so we are officially spared the spoons.

Actually, 1954. We had to go on to the next turn. Thank Gawd it's over. :relief:
