organgutang = something on Makeo's mind

and finbar you moron = you didn't follow orders but you better from now on

It's not over yet though. Are we playing on if I down Makeo's SS? I think the game will go forever if so... but I don't mind. I've got most of the planet

[Alexander's Horse]

finbar could give his cities to the player of his choice, presumably makeo since deity attacked him, and you 2 could slug it out.

Being the spare pr*ck at a wedding isn't much fun.


And I'd like to see a screenshot of deity's rep please.

Don't worry, I'll sheet the blame back to you

The amazing thing I learned here was that after Horsies invasion my whole precious psychology changed. After I lost so many improvements, even after getting my cities back, I found that I more easily threw caution to the wind and played more risky sand courageously. I didn't worry about losing pop, losing units or selling more improvements. I just put everything into a war machine - rush buying on a mega basis - and just going for it.
I wasn't going to declare war on finbar, with whom I HAD a peace Treaty, but was gouing to build my own cities nearby. But when I saw him actively pillaging road and rail of his that I needed I changed my mind. I haven't looked at the Foreign Advisor to check out my spotlessness lately... But I'm still in anarchy after the oedo year came round in 1844. So what gives with the oedo years during spaceflight turns?

...

I think you are seriously under-estimating finbar's ability to do damage

Better to be at the Wedding than in the graveyard

PS That is an absurd idea btw Horsie. MP = MP

[Alexander's Horse]

Not absurd at all. You don't play with us very often. Its something we've done before.

finbar can't win - why should he have to sit through your interminable turns?

The fact is, I celebrated about 29 birthdays during the length of Deity's turn and senility had set in. I gather you turned 56 during that turn too, Makeo. Many happies!

Walter Mitty anyone?

Maybe deity's turns take so long because he diarises while he plays.

Instead of interferring with your 'Horse' rules paradigm why don't you let the players in the game speak for themselves?

After all, you are now irrelevant Horsie

finbar can't win? You've been saying that about me for some time now and that I should have conceded ages ago... I think your credibility in assessing civ strategically has been shown for what it is

Oh, I get it! It's deity's fault that he's winning

It's lovely to see the three conspirators accusing each other as their schemes become unstuck...

The road/rail you saw being pillaged was between two of my cities. One on the coast, one inland, about 5 squares apart. How were you going to use the road/rail? Build between the cities? An inland city? When you needed a coastal city to build your transport? I had partisans in place blocking your access to the only available coastal land anyway. It was evident what you were going to do - use my civ as a jumping-off point to get to Makeo - I just took the preventative measures in the wrong order, unfortunately.

At least I don't waste time DURING my turn in re-naming captured cities...

And my important game turns are no slower than yours.

Plus, I thought you might be interested in my planning and thougt processes. Just say if you're not.......

Today I fired another dart into that target swinging from the belltower... it mutterred something quite irrelevant... must get around to burying it soon. The stench is appalling. AH* Year 1"
