Sorry for going MIA guys, I had a family emergency & had to run to take a week off school & work last minute to head to Pennsylvania.
Excellent turns in my absence guy. Very good job, you two!
Got it!

Flight Check: Switch a tile for faster growth.
Apparently word is getting out about the pacifist lifestyle no ones at war.
Persia has started Shakespeares in Arbella, but with no one starting Newtons I still think well get it. Trade WMs with Persia to check out the current statis of Arbella., which at my count is pulling in at the most 8 shields pt(and thats adding 2 on top of the max of 6 that I see), so Im very confident well be able to pull Shakes off.
IT- This is bizarre, Ive never seen so many smiling faces. And Shaka gracious??
Abe wants a MPP, we thank him for visiting but decline.
Chinese & Aztecs start Shakes.
1- The Aztecs starting it in Teotihuacan could potentially be a problem, but I still think well beat them.
Sell WM around for a couple WMs & 23g.
2- Persians start Newtons.
3- Finish Newtons & start on Shakes. I can either get it in: 19 +1 food, 18 1food, or 17 2 food. Decisions, decisions, well not really. I go with it due in 18. Our research time also dropped to Med due in 12.
Mao & Monty enter the IA.
4- Egypt starts Smiths.
Unfortunatly, round one of Zwinglis trades are about to expire.
Mao has 4gpt to give, with our payment of 12gpt expiring next turn(not to mention a bunch of lux deals). I deal him Nationalism for 4gpt, 7g, wines, & WM.
Sell our map around for about 21g.
5- Abe enters IA.
6- Deals start expiring: We lose furs, renegotiate ROP & furs with Shaka for Currency. We throw in Physics to keep ROP & Iron deal going with Cleo.
Buy RoP & Ivory from Abe for 63g. (Hes down Nat & has 4gpt, but thats not worth it.)
All deals with our neighbor to the south expire, that just wont due. I trade him his spices & ROP for 6gpt & 68g. He goes to gracious.
I guess Xerxes just had some HUGE deals expire, cause he suddenly is making 363gpt.
Buy RoP off Monty for 2gpt & 8g.
7- Abe is building Shakes. I seriously doubt well be able to get Shakes & Magellans, but even if not we have US coming up as a prebuild for ToE. We just gotta hope the cascade dies soon so everyone doesnt cascade to ToA.
Turn back research to 90%, saving us 7gpt.
8- Trade WM around for pocket change. Still no new techs.
9- Our Cathedral double a few turns ago taking our cpt up to 70. Nothing else will be doubling for the next 300 years, then the Uni, Collosseum, & Sisteen all will go up.
Sell map around for 18g.
10- Trade Abe Nationalism for 22gpt & 50g. Its a fraction of its true cost, but I dont want to hold out any longer and have someone else sell it to him.
Finally! Persia has Steam Power. They dont want to sell it unless we give them all our gold, all our gpt, and all our slaves. Needless to say Im not paying monopoly price for it.
Sell WM around for 21g.
We have Med due in 5, Shakes will be built in 11(hopefully). Since were in the IA now, with diplomacy going around every turn & selling our WM 3 times a turn the turns are taking a lot longer. I played today for about 2hours with only 1 city.
I think we should move back to 10 turns. Lemme know if you guys agree, or think this would slow down the game too much & if so Ill finish the last 5.
The save.

back so soon? If Affirmative doesn't grab in the next couple days I'll finish up my other 5 turns, I'm up in 2 other SGs as well right now.

If GK has decided to let his 10 turns stand and Affirmative is unable to run Civ3, that would put you (Wizard) up. Since you are away until the 21st, we could just keep the game on hold until then.
I would be able to play the next turns, skipping both Affirmative and Wizard, but I've been up a lot recently. Don't want to look like a "ball hog"

I'll take the other 5 tomorrow, then it's up to you if you wanna play or let wiz return first.
I vote play, then it we'll let wiz take turns when he gets back leaving it on Aff again. But since wiz apears to have brief internect connection he can chime in with his thoughts.

IT- Egypt starts Shakes & Magellans.
11- Renegotiate our RoP with Mao for 1 less gpt. Sell WM around for 21g.
12- Sell WM around for 19g. I also accidentally set the queue for research, ignore it.
IT- Gandhi discovers Communism(I believe this is what happened).
Xerxes suddenly has Steam & Comm(and hes revolting).
Mao has Steam.
Gandhi has Steam & Comm(but is happy with his democracy).
13- Trade Gandhi 37gpt, 1022g, & WM for Steam. (Hes the little guy, and I want to stick some gold in his pocket to rush things because I have a feeling once Xerxes hits Communism hes out for blood.)
Give Abe Steam for 16gpt, 57g, & WM. Recouping a bit of our cost.
Sell our WM around for about 12g, everyones broke this turn after the trading.
The only person with spare Coal is Xerxes, at least it will keep him off our backs for 20 turns. I love having only 1 city, he offers to sell it for 110g. We give him 6gpt instead.
Our fat & lazy workers finally have something to do.
IT- Aztecs start Magellans.
Gandhi starts Shakes.
14- Upgrade our Wars while we have iron for 80g.
In 1 turn Gandhi managed to piss away over 1000g.
Sell WM around for 20g.
Bump back research to 80%.
IT- Learn Med, start on Sanitation at 100%(due in 12 at 83gpt). This can be vetoed if you think Ind or Elec would be more beneficial, I think we can get Sani out the way then still beat the AI to ToE, and snag Hoover with the free techs. Tough call though cause it could bite us in the ass with the cascade.
15- Sell WM around for 20g.
MM city to get Shakes in 5 instead of 6 at a loss of another food(it will complete 1 turn before city starves).
Sell Med to Xerxes for 163gpt & 96g. (After balancing his budget hes still making 150+ gpt.)
Sell Med to Gandhi for 56gpt & 182g(all of each).
*End of turn Report-
Shakes is finished in 5, Id then rush a bank & hospital(waiting 1 turn first so as to not pay the double penalty). Then start on Magellans, we probably wont get it but it will be a good prebuild for ToE.
Id watch for opportunities to pay Xerxes gpt, were currently taking a bunch of lux/resources, and about 200gpt from him and only giving him like 8gpt & a RoP back. Thats not good. However dont buy communism
Enjoy!
