When are you available Paddy? Ormuzd? Jonny?
Thanks to all for your contributions to TurnChat / Senate Session 17. The minutes are now listed and will be presented as the previous Session's minutes when the Senate reconvenes.
For those that could not make it, feel free to leave any feedback that you feel could assist in the upcoming session of the Senate.
As a member of the Democracy Civ Group, you are already a Senator. You just need to show up for the Session.
The times for this will be advertised on this thread in the coming days.
Once at the session you can load the Sacred Save and participate as the session works its way through the agenda.
So maybe it is time to get out of the Pub for a hour or two; leave those maids for some deserved rest; let your managers look after your wood shops; gather your Axe and Shield and come along and be apart of the Senate Session.
Now, standby for news for the time frame on Turn Chat / Senate Session Number 18!
When are you available Paddy? Ormuzd? Jonny?
Today...
in three hours from now, for 2 hours
or in six hours from now, for 6 hours
hoping that makes sense...
Friday, at 2300 GMT (6:00 P.M. EST) at the earliest, and then I'll probably have plenty of time over the weekend.
Weekday turnchats aren't really a possibility for me...
I can be available for over the American weekends, but I need like 12 hours notice...
I am happy to juggle my work, but it is harder to juggle the family
Can we shoot for this?Originally posted by Jonny

Well, unless my family does something unexpected on me (which I'll admit has happened more than a few times before), I should be there.

The Adventures of Gem’s Ahoy, Thor’s Sickle and the many settlers
Jonny: Gems Ahoy to move 3 3 2 in order to pick up settler from Ring of Vikings and take him south?
Paddy: BF had a plan to put that settler in next to the persian city of sidon as a jump point to war...?
Jonny: hmm, well if that's the plan, then OK... I didn't know how soon we were looking to go to war with Persia
Paddy: wheere would you like him to go on the south island?
Jonny: sorry, had a phone call
Paddy: hahahaha yeah I know the feeling
Jonny: I don't know where exactly, either south of Avaris or south of Jaen; I just think it's important to grab all the land that we can
Paddy: yes, I agree... we are quite some way behind..
Paddy: what about the island way to our left?
Paddy: the one Thors Sickle is next to at this time?
Jonny: it's a possibility, but I think the Persians are already on their way there...
Jonny: we could move Thor's 3 6 3 to see if there's a galley on the way
Paddy: shall we go and look there 1st?
Jonny: yea, let's move Thor's first, then we can decide
Paddy: just small steps... to see what is there...
Jonny: ok, 3 or 6 first
Paddy: move Thors Sickle 3 - 6
Jonny: one galley spotted
Jonny: back to the question of the original galley...
Paddy: we will finish moving thors sickle then
Jonny: oh, right

Paddy: just curious
Jonny: yes
Paddy: it is black on mine...

Paddy: control K and click on one
Jonny: does this work?
Paddy: woo hoo

Jonny: where was Charlie Daniels Band headed?
Paddy: sure helps when I do the posts up on the thread

Paddy: done
Jonny: Sidonese gold, to boot!
Paddy: hahahaha
Ring of Viking Settler

Then the decisions were made / discussed / argued on the Cities
Jonny: hmm... New Asgard could have happiness problems soon
Paddy: suggestions...
Jonny: we could switch it to settler
Paddy: still take a while to build
Jonny: 3 turns...
Paddy: we could take the work force from 1-4 and make him a scientist
Jonny: we could, but that would drop the city below the magic 10 shield number for this turn
Paddy: ok, well the pop goes next turn, and then they will be over populated and will riot?
Jonny: sorry again, the phone is ringing off its hook
Paddy: it is all good Jonny
Jonny: i guess we better make the WF 1-4 a scientist, otherwise we'll lose a whole turn instead of just one shield
Paddy: New Asgard make the WF 1-4 a scientist,
Jonny: another phone call... I must be really popular tonight
Paddy: hahahaha
Jonny: but now that we have a scientist in NA, can we put the scientist in FoG back to work?
Paddy: yes, definitly...
Paddy: your choice
Jonny: i was thinking scientist -:[/b] WF 8
Paddy: ok
Paddy: FoG scientist -:[/b] WF 8
Jonny: now, back to moving units...
Jonny: the 3 workers SW of Thor's Hammer should move 2 to clear that jungle?
Paddy: do you have a SMC whip in your hand Sir
Paddy: excellent
Jonny: why, i do happen to have just that
Then the decisions were made / discussed / argued on where to move workers
Jonny: Thor's Worker, Frosty, Worker Bee move 2
Paddy: done
Jonny: ok, now for the other worker stack...
Jonny: are we about ready to reconnect RoV?
Paddy: no not yet
Paddy: need to be able to upgrade the warriors
Jonny: and about how many warriors were we aiming to have before reconnecting?
Paddy: that Sir I have no idea about?????
Paddy: but we have saved a lot of gold for this event
Jonny: well I think we need to upgrade pretty soon and attack someone, the more we wait the more likely they are to have pikeman garrisons and knights
Paddy: well we are only 15th in one thing, 14th in most, so we really can not go to far backwards in the race to be THE RACE!
Jonny: let's have the worker stack 2-3 of Thor's Hammer mine, then
Paddy: ok
Jonny: Bob's Worker 1, Bob's Worker 2, Galley Slave, Sven all mine
Paddy: done
BigFree enters the Senate

* BigFree notices the beatiful fields of Golds in the South
BigFree: thats bettert
BigFree: No, I have some things to do
BigFree: I did not plan on playing more than one or two turns anyways

Jonny: should Madrid Express move 3-6-6 to pick up Land Lubbers
Paddy: ME - yeah lets do it
Jonny: ok, Madrid Express moves 3-6-6
Jonny: and now back to Gems Ahoy
Paddy: done
Paddy: I have no idea...
Jonny: i still say we move Gems Ahoy 3-3-2, have it pick up settler from SaG, and settle to the south
Jonny: perhaps at the site 2-2-1 of Avaris, it could have some potential
Paddy: done...
Jonny: Gems Ahoy 3-3-2
New warrior named
Jonny: warrior in NA needs a name...
Paddy: Yes, I have one here for him, BRB
Paddy: ok, so they are coming from our biggest harbour...
Paddy: how about the Longshoremen
Jonny: okay
Paddy: done
Jonny: Warrior in New Asgard named Longshoremen

Paddy: that may upset the pop
Jonny: the pop of Sidon, maybe
Paddy: well said..
Paddy: get em moven then
Jonny: Longshoremen move 1-2-2
Paddy: anything else

Paddy: oh!
Jonny: I guess that's a no
Paddy: hahahahahha
Jonny: production in RoV and in Palace Ice/Snow may need to be changed...
Paddy: a No it is from the President
Paddy: ok, suggestions
Ring of Vikings Production Changed
Jonny: maybe a spearman in RoV so we can move the warrior and archer there towards the border
Paddy: yes Sir
Jonny: Production in RoV settler -:[/b] spearman
Paddy: done
Jonny: speaking of that, we could go ahead and upgrade Nuclear Master the warrior in RoV, just so we could say that we were here for our first swordsman
Paddy: hahahahaha very cheeky...
Paddy: I like it
Jonny: in fact, I don't see why we couldn't start moving all of the new warriors from NA through RoV on their way to FoG
Jonny: so we can start upgrading to swords now
Jonny: and fortify them on the borders
Paddy: interesting point of view...
Paddy: go for it..
Jonny: okay, NuclearMaster the Warrior in RoV upgraded to sword
Paddy: done... hahahaha
Culture – Cultured Vikings
Jonny: perhaps Palace of Ice/Snow could remain building a temple...
Jonny: It would be nice for PoIaS to have a little 'cultural cushioning', although it will take a while...
Paddy: better than having it flip on us...
Paddy: well thought out.
Jonny: okay, so that stays the same, anything else to do?
Paddy: looking
and the time was coming to an end…
Jonny: I don't see anything
Paddy: we did not open the map up this turn anywhere did we... into the field of fog
Jonny: nope...
Paddy: ok, when we do we need to appease the Great Cat Gods with selling maps for more gold
Jonny: but not now...
Jonny: and so, 2 and a half hours after the turnchat began, the first turn was completed...
Paddy: yes, madness... if all is done, can you save it there.
Jonny: you still up for another turn?
Paddy: yes, maybe two more...
Paddy: hahahahahah
Paddy: we can keep this going and get a better turn rate
Jonny: End Turn!
