Silly Rules succession game

[rjmatsleepers]

I haven't looked at the save yet, but the log shows a net gain of 14 cities (roughly - I ran out of fingers and it was too cold to take my socks off ) That's a great result and one that the next few players are going to find it difficult to live up to. We should play the Marseillaise, but it's not silly enough .

Well done LF

/Edit The log shows 14 cities gained; the notes say 24 cities gained - even more impressive. What's "wow!" in French? /Edit

The truth is 24. My log was destroyed when the game collapsed and part of it was written again from memory.

Gaining 24 cities is certainly worth another wow!

Even weller done LF

Outstanding turnset, La Fayette! The balance of silly power has clearly shifted...

La Fayette is next. Bob Smurf & atomant are both MIA.

I'll be gone for the holidays, so STYOM can step in after La Fayette if the jokes are there.

where are the jokes ?

I'm Back -- Sooner than expected

And I think I'm going to enjoy the setup that La Fayette left.

Great work and my kudos as well.

Jokes? Silliness? Hey, we're looking at trying for a record of most turns to achieve a win...

Anybody want to see if we can launch a spaceship & see if it can make it?

My turn and the beginning of round 7 as we begin 2004.

We can always leave a couple of AI Zoo Cities and play with space ships at our leisure.

Can't do Word files on my home computer
I'll have to put it on a floppy and take it to work.

Where I come from, good enough is good enough. Let's just win the game as quickly as we can and pretend we never had any doubts about the outcome.

I'm with RJM on this. Let's be done with this silly game!

[Old n Slow]

Write up is in process... + your silly thoughts will be addressed (or undressed??? ) accordingly.

I'm with Jrabbit
... especially since his new avatar looks so frightening that I shiver when looking at it

The End

(1970) RB some stuff & hit enter -- note a warning about Global Warming. The Zulus want to talk (ok -- but they don’t say anything that we want to hear) -- After they go away unsatisfied, they nuke Intombe (making a huge mess) and take it (-78). The Spanish raze size 1 Issus, nuke Valencia, and take it (-78).

1971 -- (-240 due to pollution; Pop = 42M.) We exercise the coupon & go Commy. Switch palace building to Chartres -- at one shield per turn, this may take awhile… note that Intombe is now defended by a nuke (nor for long…) we empty it out & take it (+360).

Re-take Valencia (+336) and take Cordoba (+702, gov’t to Seville) and Toledo (+368) for good measure.

1972 -- (Zulu uses a St Bomber to empty Intombe & re-re-takes (-55 -- we’re making a profit on this, I think) Poll = -180Pop = 48M) Take Salamanca (+272), Seville (+551, gov’t to Madrid), and Take Madrid (+142 -- SPACE SHIP DESTROYED!)

1973 -- (We lose an empty transport, and near Zunguin, a Jeep/Howie combo gets smacked. Poll = -90, Pop = 55M) Note that we supply Uranium in three places, make trucks accordingly -- two are delivered (driving west, of course for some silly reason) for +171 & +365 (so much for non-celebrating small commie cities. Pop a hut for 100g.

Take Hlobane (+783) and Isand (+525). found Moe, Larry & Curly.

1974 -- (SPANISH take Isand (-57) and we get some NON- Partisans! Poll = -80.) Sell 14 Police Stations, Uranium to Rouen = 320. Take Sawzi (+744), Zunguin (+182), Mpondo (+672), and Ngome (+437). Found Shemp & Joe. .

1975 -- (SPANISH take Swazi (-115 -- we get a couple of NON Partisans for the deal) -- what good friends of the Zulus to “free up” their cities. Poll = -80; Pop = 65M)

Now in Fundy -- Re-take Swazi (+406), Buy Granada for $324 (+63), Take Ritter (+47), buy Pamplona for $304 (+51). Sell 10 Granaries and 3 police Stations. Smack some units hanging around.

1976 -- (Poll = -110; Pop = 66M) Uranium to Ngome = 128 (many small trucks deliver freight for no good reason at all. Raze Avilla, Take Bilbao (+125), Umtata (+180) and SPAIN IS GONE.

Take Tugela (+1188 but the gov’t doesn’t move??) ZULU SPACESHIP DESTROYED, Take Ibabango (+179), re-re-re-re take Intombe (+191)

1977 -- (Poll = -180 (we later clean this down to -80; Pop = 71M)



Buy Cremona $324 (+708), ZULUS ARE GONE

Score = 2157, 280%; Soupy Sales the Magnificent.

I have a jpg of Soupy Sales the Magificent, but I think we'd all rather share a good joke.

More importantly, I want to share my thanks and kudos to the team -- to all.

And We are Done

[La Fayette]

Hurrah

I don't think many people were convinced that we would win this one when we started.

As far as I am concerned, the only one I find scary is 'lazy days', because our degrees of freedom are so few.

[Old n Slow]

I agree -- Lazy will be a challenge: two points in our favor though-- 1) a little more time to work the war & 2) the major enemy is right next door. We have Howies & spies, what more could we ask for?
