4. Jrabbit

Each player may only build one city and capture one city. The goal is conquest. In other words, all other AI cities must be razed - may can do this with Spy-poisoning or simply attacking the city until it is destroyed, or by capturing a size 1 city (destroying it, but still getting pillage).

Clarifications:

- Advanced Tribes must be reloaded, unless you haven't founded your one city and want the Tribe to be it.

- When you found your one city, you must give it a name that will readily identify it as yours. Anyone can build anything in anyone else's city (thus allowing a SSC if desired). Good natured mockery of each others' cities is highly encouraged.

- If the city you founded is somehow destroyed, you may not found another, but you may capture a second city from the AI. If the city you captured is destroyed... well... too bad

- Every player may play 10 turns to start, or longer if no good city sites are available (within reason ). If there isn't a Settler available when your turns start... do your best to found within a reasonable time. I'm trying to limit things to 10 turns so that we don't wait 100 turns to build 5 cities

After all players have played a round of turns, the second round will require a change of capital for each player (to that player's city, of course ) during that player's turns.

I'll finish my turns in Lazy Summer (going pretty well, BTW), then will complete the Scorching Of The Earth...

Nice work Monk.

I'm afraid that I'll be off the lists until 13th June. Any games that can wait for me to come back are welcome to do so, but I'll return to the lists full of energy after that date.

Just released/now eligible: Bloody Monk

[duke o' york]

Having accidentally missed a compulsory test for illegal airbase construction, the duke has now served his lengthy ban and is raring to take up the reins (cudgel?) in service of Civ!

Where am I on any turn lists, or have all the games that I was in finished now?

[Bloody Monk]

Great to see you are back and ready to jump in again!!

Looking back a few posts to May22...

You are up in 2nd Sail.

-JR is up in Dirty.

Stu is still holding Seriously Tricky (extending the record for days between plays)

In the ROMP free-for-all...

Trajanus is the most recently released from the holding tank.
-JR is next out, then Bloody Monk, debeest, Grigor.
You, or any other player, are encouraged to play a round at any time.

The other games on that list are now complete!!

Monk

[-Jrabbit]

Duke, rumor has it that 2nd Sailing is ready for a big-fun assault sequence.

[Bloody Monk]

-JR,

How's it going with your new computer?? Getting the kinks worked out, I hope.

BTW, I very much enjoyed and was moved by your comment on the passing of Ray Charles in OTF. He will be missed; he is cherished.

Monk

[-Jrabbit]

Right on, Monk (re Ray Chas).

The new comp is up and running, though it's been more painful and time-consuming than predicted. I just need to install the (Mac) MGE 1.1 patch to be shared-game-ready.

Still resolving a few other comp issues (trying to extract ancient text files from the to-be-discarded Mac 6116CD machine so my daughter can inherit the iMac). This involves getting these disparate (OS 7.5 vs OS 9.2.2) machines to network so I can file-share. I now have the hardware/adapters, just have to hope the software cooperates.

Hope to get the MGE patch installed tonght, after which (later this week), I plan to get down and Dirty.
