Senate Session 19

[Paddy]

Thanks to all for your contributions to TurnChat / Senate Session 18. 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 19!

Paddy: at your leisure
Jonny: I should have enough time to participate as SMC in the coming months...
Paddy: good to see
Paddy: lets give the Pres a few mins...
Jonny: but we can start looking for things that we need to do before ending the turn...
Paddy: good point... see anything
Paddy: I will PM him
Jonny: in SaG, I may have accidentaly employed an entertainer in the save
Paddy: yeah... that is fine, we can fix that
Paddy: suggestions
Jonny: probably 7-7, I would think
Paddy: good
Jonny: or maybe 7-4, because the shield from 7-7 is lost anyway to corruption
Paddy: ok
Jonny: Entertainer in SaG -:[/b] WF 7-4
Paddy: before we do too many orders we should wait to see if the President is coming

Big Free enters the Senate

BigFree: I'm here, but Im about to leave
BigFree:
Paddy: oh
Paddy: :{
Jonny: well, darn
Jonny: I guess we can go ahead and start then
Paddy: Mr Pres?
BigFree: yes
BigFree: please continue
BigFree: I have full faith in your abilities
Paddy: Thanks MR Pres
BigFree: Carry on.
Jonny: okay then...
Jonny: I don't think there's anything else we need to do before ending turn

Big Free departs the Senate

Paddy: see ya Mr Pres
Paddy: lets play
Jonny: okay, end turn?
Paddy: yep

The order is given for 470BC
Jonny: End Turn
Jonny: take egyptian deal?
Jonny: WM for WM?
Paddy: sorry, have to butter little fellas toast
Jonny: that's okay
Jonny: they offered their World Map for ours
Paddy: can you still take it if so do it
Jonny: was it offered to you?
Paddy: yes, but had a few buttons being clicked here... three hands on keyboard at once
Paddy: well I think iot was made here
Paddy: hahaha
Jonny: then I'll take it, just for continuity...
Jonny: Egyptian deal accepted
Paddy: thanks
Jonny: and another turn is begun...

Troops to be initiated
Jonny: new warrior in NA needs a name
Paddy: new warrior in New Asgard = The Freedom Seekers???
Jonny: New Warrior in New Asgard named Freedom Seekers ; moves 1-4-1
Paddy: hahahaha well done

and then moved all over the shop
Paddy: slayer = 1
Jonny: Slayer of Immortals moves 1
Jonny: and Charlie Daniels Band, Thor's Guard, and Longshoremen all move 7
Paddy: done
Jonny: Nuclear Master the Swordsman moves 2
Paddy: done
Jonny: is The Bears going to RoV also?
Paddy: eventually... they all need to be upgraded
Paddy: we also need to send someone with the settler
Jonny: well, if we go ahead and move the settler this turn, Nuclear Master can go fortify in the new city next turn...
Paddy: yes, but that would leave the settler unprotected, R u happy with that
Jonny: well, we could move Sons of Kloreep on the mountain to guard him this turn...
Paddy: ok, thanks
Jonny: Sons of Kloreep moves 4
Paddy: done

That Settler is getting closer
Jonny: Settler in Bifrost moves 1-4
Paddy: done

Troops Troops Troops, Lucky we have The SMC here
Jonny: both The Gunna's and The Bears move 8
Paddy: ok
Jonny: Both The Gunna's and The Bears move 8
Jonny: put in red this time for your convienence
Paddy: thank you Sir, I do appreciate it

Ah what was his name
Jonny: there's an unnamed warrior SE of Bifrost, I think that was the one we were going to name The Forgotten Warrior
Paddy: what we keep forgetting him...?
Paddy: do it.
Jonny: Warrior SE of Bifrost renamed (again!) The Forgotten Warrior ; he moves 8-7
Paddy: done.. worse case... we get two warriors that we forget with that name...
Jonny: and then we forget that we forgot them, and we name another warrior that we forget the forgotten warrior again, and then we remember the 1st forgotten warrior, and the 1st forgotten warrior sues the 2nd for copyright infringement...
Paddy: hahahahahahahaha
Paddy: we will need a new minister soon for the Law
Paddy: hahaha
Jonny: absolutely

[Paddy]

TurnChat / Senate Session 19 Part II


SMC gets serious
Jonny: but back to the matter on hand...
Jonny: Genghis Hood the Archer fortifies in FoG
Paddy: done
Jonny: Persian Hatred Committee, George W. Viking, and Wrecking Crew road tile SW of Raiding Base
Paddy: ok - done

The fabled Viking Galley’s
Jonny: Madrid Express probably needs to go back to FoG to prepare for the Persian War... that ship will probably be carrying swordsmen to Tyre
Paddy: yes
Jonny: Madrid Express moves 4-4-4
Paddy: done
Jonny: Land Lubbers fortifies in SaG
Paddy: done
Jonny: and Gems Ahoy moves 2-2-2
Paddy: done
Paddy: Thors Sickle??
Jonny: I think Thor's Sickle should go 8-6-3 to look for more Persian ships in the area
Paddy: there was one there last turn
Paddy: ok
Jonny: Thor's Sickle moves 8-6-3
Paddy: done
Jonny: no new ships sighted, Sidon has a spear garrison
Paddy: the buggers


BigBadJonny
Jonny: BigBadJonny: Should he go 2 or 4?
Paddy: 4 to see where the land goes to that hut nobody wanted to go near
Jonny: okay then, BigBadJonny moves 4
Paddy: thanks - done
Jonny: hmmm... that's lotsa horsies
Paddy: opps... just taking a pic
Jonny: and there's probably more there too
Paddy: yeah interesting
Jonny: refresh my memory, please: can a galley carry 2 or 3 units?
Paddy: 2
Jonny: darn, because I fear 1 spearman won't be enough to defend our planned city below Avaris from the barbs, and we stand to lose hundreds in gold if they sack the city
Paddy: well we could use the Madrid express
Paddy: it is a double back, but these things happen
Jonny: I guess we'll have too... we'll also need 1 or 2 more cities building spearmen
Paddy: Sir, you military types are all the same.... more more more...
Paddy: Lets get to it then
Jonny: I'll take that as a compliment
Jonny: but let's finish moving units first
Paddy: My budgets are all over the shop, swords spears axes... boats pelts shields..
Paddy: at least they all like getting drunk
Paddy: saves a bit on food
Jonny: true, that is

[Paddy]

TurnChat / Senate Session 19 Part III


The Workers get a look over
Jonny: the workers who are 2-3 of Thor's Hammer, should they move 9 to mine that grassland?
Paddy: that looks good
Paddy: ok
Jonny: Bob's Worker 1, Bob's Worker 2, Galley Slave, Sven move 9
Paddy: done

and the troops
Jonny: and OctavianX fortifies in FoG
Paddy: yes
Paddy: done

New Asgard
Jonny: we should probably switch NA to a spearman
Paddy: yeah, that sounds good
Jonny: Production in NA warrior -:[/b] spearman
Paddy: done
Paddy: got some good pics
Jonny: sorry about that delay... PTW decided to freeze up and I have to replay the turn from autosave
Paddy: opuch
Paddy: thanks for sticking in their
Jonny: ok, caught back up
Paddy: that was fast
Jonny: it sure goes a lot quicker when you don't have to discuss everything
Paddy: hahaha
Paddy: thanks mate

Spanish are Greedy
Jonny: SaG is going into disorder next turn... I recommend we remove WF 7-7 and turn it into a taxman
Paddy: then it would not be a democracy
Paddy: good call
Jonny: WF 7-7 in SaG -:[/b] tax collector
Paddy: done
Jonny: now we probably need to be building another spear somewhere, unless we want to take NuclearMaster the Swordsman south to the new city also...
Paddy: we are building 3 now
Paddy: but they will be a while
Jonny: the one in RoV won't be done in time...
Paddy: dilemma
Jonny: the ones in NA and Valhalla should be, though
Paddy: it is all timing

SMC has a Plan
Jonny: i think i've got a plan, but it requires the sword to come along
Paddy: uh huh???
Paddy: do tell
Jonny: Nuclear Master moves 3 next turn, and then down to SaG the turn after that, where he'll be able to load onto Madrid Express at the same time as the settler
Paddy: yes...
Jonny: Gems Ahoy waits in Valhalla; because the spear is NA is finished 1 turn faster, that spear and the one from Valhalla will also be able to load at the same time
Paddy: these are all for next turn???
Paddy: looks good to me...
Paddy: well done
Jonny: its a 3 turn plan, so everything will be able to go with the settler
Paddy: good to see
Jonny: actually, Gems Ahoy will be able to wait 2-3 of Valhalla and still will be able to pick the 2 spears up at the same time
Paddy: {Judy girl, a large frothy Root Beer for the SMC... and a jug for , thanks lass...}
Jonny: you see, that's the problem with all the adults in Vikingland... they're all too drunk to think straight
Paddy: haahaahaa
Paddy: {Judy, another Jug thanks lass }
Jonny: but if we're going to implement that plan, I believe we're ready to end this turn now
Paddy: don't really know what you mean there Jonny


The Session may end here…?
Paddy: ahh yes the turn...
Paddy: will you save it there please
Jonny: saved, shall I send you a copy now?
Paddy: yes please...
Paddy: to pirate
Paddy: I got the one to paddy 5 hours after you sent it...
Paddy: love the net, but it can be so frustrating
Paddy: are you happy to continue... if so can we take a 10 min break
Jonny: save sent...
Jonny: yes, let us continue after a brief recess
Jonny: about a 10-15 min. break
Paddy: thanks
Jonny: The Senate is now in recess
