Silly Rules succession game

[La Fayette]

I notice that JRabbit is supposed to be able to play on thursday, which is 3 days ahead
I shall therefore play after JRabbit, as previously planned.

[-Jrabbit]

So NOTHING happened in my absence????

Guess the save I was going to work from is still good, then... Will play ASAP, so be ready, La Fayette!

[La Fayette]

...something happened:


...I'll be ready (and perfectly fit)!

[-Jrabbit]

Hoping to play tonight...

[Straybow]

Färbemittel is Dye, and Häute is Hides. (I thought Häute meant "Today")

'heute' '(same pronunciation) means today.

Gee, a language where two different words are spelled differently but pronounced the same. This never ever happens in English.

[Bob_Smurf42]

Why no, of course not. What also doesn't happen(as much) in English is stuff like this:
In German-
sick=Kranker
hospital=Krankenhaus
ambulance=Krankenwagen
So a literal translation would be: 'sick'; 'sick house'; 'sick car'
Makes more sense than making up new words.(or is that knew words?)

EDIT: Hope I spelled those right

[Old n Slow]

Sooooooooo we’re waiting for JRabbit (still)?

[-Jrabbit]

Sorry. Getting there...
:mercy: :mercy:

[-Jrabbit]

Aaargh!!!!

SOMEONE (menitioning no family members) deleted my download file with the current save. And my Mac utility is screwing up and won't download, so I have to wait until I'm back at work Tuesday, download, zip, and email to the home comp.

Can't possibly play until Wednesday night soonest, which would mean upload Thurs. a.m. Chicago time. If someone wants to take the reins in the meantime, fine with me.

Really sorry for all the delay.

[Old n Slow]

That’s up to La Fayette…

[-Jrabbit]

I emailed the 1180ad home. Will check this board before playing tomorrow (Wednesday) night.

[-Jrabbit]

At long last!

Done. Here's the zipped savefile... Have to go to meetings, so I'll post the turnlog later today.

Highlights
-- Got Republic from the French!
-- We are so screwed without a happiness WoW.
-- Trying to get a start on trade, shifted emphasis to camel building.

More later...

La Fayette, it's now up to you!

Siwwy Turnwog

"Wow, 1180 Ad already, guess I forgot to set an alarm," said King Soupy Wabbit. He approached the throne, wincing slightly as it emitted its usual farting effect when he sat.

1180 AD -- Surveying the kingdom, we hire young Elvi in Monty Python, Wabbit, and Fwight Wig (failing to notice the phalanx thoughtfully left behind by the estimable, clown-nosed King rjmatsleepers. We've got 590,000 siwwy people, 82 GP, and take 9 turns/tech under our current 30/70/0 tax stwuctuwe (in Monarchy). :hmm: We have more white goods at this stage than any game I've pwayed since my first couple Civ2 experiences evew.
Beeblebwox builds Pikeman, jump-starts camel by disbanding a Warriow. Pwess Enter.

1200 AD -- Ludicwously empty wandering twiwemes spot Tours (8) and Wounded Knee (8). Monty Python changes build orders to temple.

1220 AD -- Temple compweted in M. Python, settler disbanded in Wabbit (Stwaybow's rule). Income now equals cost @ 17 GP/turn. We hire 4 young einsteins in Beeblebwox, dropping the tech rate to 7 turns.

1240 AD -- Iwonically, Tacitus ranks us as the silliest, yet least happy, civilization on the pwanet. :sad: Pathetic!
Fwench demand Twade to continue alliance. We agree, then request a gift in return. They provide us with... The Wepublic!!! King Soupy Wabbit declares that this calls for immediate wevolution!! (atawa's rule) We change pwoduction from Wibwawy to Pikemen in New Chuckles, and fwom Wibwawy to Settler in Fwight Wig.

1260 AD -- Fwench capital now in Marseiwes. Fwench expew dipwomat befowe embassy can be created. Spanish buiwd Sun Tzu, Fwench switch to Marco Powo. Our civ is now a Wepublic!! They now call me The Speaker of the Siwwy, or some such.) D With no happiness speciaws, we are fowced to sewect a 20-10-70 tax stwuctuwe in order to cewebwate. Wesearch dwops to 14 turns, income now 1 GP/turn.

1280 AD -- Cewebwations begin in Wabbit, Siwwy Walks, and a 3rd city I forgot to note. The Speakew Wabbit is well pweased to note that it's easy to keep a Pawace under constwuction ((rjmatsleepers' Rule) in Wepublic -- no shield contwibution!! Two warriors board westbound boat in New Chuckws, hoping to find huts and such.

1300 AD -- Fwight Wig builds settlers. Twiweme finds Rheims (8). With no happiness WoW, cewebwations stop @ 5 pop. Sadly, we are still 7th in popuwation. But that means the Xinning can begin!! Convert tax wate to 40/30/30, yielding rate of 9 turns and iincome of 14 GP/turn.

1320 AD -- Siwwy disorder in New Chuckles. Oh, also time for wevowution. Consider breaking this rule, but take a deep breath and plan to rotate gov't (Smurf's Rule) to Despotism instead.

1340 AD -- Disorder in Goodie. Siwwy Soupy Emperor Wabbit sees we must sewect a tax rate of 50/50/0 just to bweak even.

1360 AD -- Bozo disorder. Must be someone quite siwwy at the Attitude contwols We discover Chivawwy at wast! Time to use -Jrabbit's Rule and sewect The Wheel over Banking (breaking STYOM's Rule) for our next tech. (Without Wheel, we are bwocked from the key Engineering/Invention/Gunpowder/Democracy path.) We stop the madness of disorder with a 50/30/20 stwuctuwe.

1380 AD -- Disorder stwikes Silly Walls, which is set to Xin. Zuwus build Mike's chapel in Zimbabwe. Wabbit builds camel, woads it with Hides. Settler disbanded. Camel might be good to send to Leiden (especially if you're a scaredy-cat wike the Soupy Wabbit and don't want to wisk an ocean crossing by twiweme).

And with that, the Wabbit Despot rises from the throne, steps forward, and falls down the steps.

--------------------------
Note for La Fayette -- Next oedo is 1420, so you can revolt out of Depotism next turn. Constant gov't changes have very different requirements, and that could be the killing factor in this game. Dropping back to Despo really sets one back!!

[Old n Slow]

When this is all over, we may want to vote on the most desired wonder -- I think that the Statue may rank high -- 6 gov’t options!

Hmmm looks like Nav & a boat chain may also be VERY valuable…

Note to self -- remind players of foreign translations of techs to take advantage of La Fayette & Straybow’s flexibilities…

[La Fayette]

Help !

It seems that my French version of the game dislikes the saves provided by the Wabbit.
I have downloaded and unzipped: I can see the map, but nothing on the right hand side of the screen.
Could someone make a new save ?
Please !
