No ICS succession game

[johnmcd]

One vote for Diety.

Actually, I was thinking, it was MWHC rather than Dave V that came up with this nonsense wasn't it?

Gits, do you want two shots to reflect your plurality?

Send it to SG2 please John - I should be there tonight and have just had BT totally revamping my 'phones at home so just might be out of touch for the weekend.

Not particularly (reflecting our duality - we tend to play together as a team) - but if you insist!

SG2 - so right!! My current game which I might bring tonight is a Republican Sleaze - it's fun!

And where has MWHC disappeared to? We all owe him a vote of thanks.

BTW. I might start another thread for an MGE non-ICS succession game. Would that be an MGENICSSG?

You didn't get left off the list, I was interupted by my boss when I was writing it. If people had only listend when I was petioning for www.advancedaccountancy.com this sort of heart break could have been avoided.

I made a list on paper and then typed it in, my apologies.

Johnmcd 10 turns
ScouseGits 10 turns
Skrobism
HsFB 10 turns
Huey 10 turns
Muad’Dib 10 turns

you love me you really love me!

First save away!

Diety, Large map, Hordes and seven other civs. Its a promising looking start, two specials and a 25g hut. All grassland and forrest so ideal for a perfectionist approach.

Hey. How did I get left off the list?

I'll play 2.42 at whichever level.

The Scouse Gits in Concert - 3550 BC - 3000 BC

Our exploring Settler found an Archer and 50g in its brave wanderings. However, in our attempts to outguess the Special Pattern we founded The Hammerer of the Scots in the wrong spot - on a river, with a fish, but with only one more suspected hidden Special. Our other Settler is wandering in hope of further specials, but beyond a few very tempting sites of hiddens no joy so far...

Save game sent to Skrobism and Johnmcd

John McD a Scot previously well disposed to Scousers resolves to underline Gits henceforth

Anyway, the North of England is closer culturally to Scotland than to the South of England. That said, a succession game civil war might be interesting.

Hmm, seems one can't underline like that

[Scouse Gits]

Sorry, John McD, we simply couldn't resist No real offence intended and, we hope, none taken



Scouse Gits

[johnmcd]

None taken, I couldn't resist my reply either. I only logged on just now to amend it lest you thought it real.

[Daddy-O]

I got the noICS save from the Scouse Gits. I will give it a try tonight.

[Daddy-O]

I just got a new save from the Scouse Gits. At this point I will have to play it tomorrow. Sorry about the delay but I am tired and playing would not be fair to our posterity.

[Daddy-O]

I am passing the save to HsFB. I will send the History ASAP.

Dateline: November 2000 - Edinburgh

The following has been translated from hieroglyph tablets dating back to circa 2500BC. The tablets were found by a widow while she was harvesting her radishes in a suburb of the Edinburgh metropolis. When asked about the sudden commotion in her victory garden she said, "I hope they finish soon. I need to finish my pulling. The frost is coming and I sure love those raddish and butter sandwiches. Would you like one sonny? I've got kohlrabi in there too."

The tablets follow:

In the time of the Scouse Gits there came to be a family rich in the trade of silk. The Skrobi [note: this is the plural of Skrobis] rose to rule our tribe of 20,000 for 500 years, as was the will of the gods.

Our Archers and Settlers move throughout the country side. So it came to pass that warriors were trained at Edward I. Archers and Warriors moved to the East and discover two huts. Praise to the Silk Worm [note: the silk worm played a central role in the myths and religion of this tribe.] that weaves the ways of the world. It is right that there are other peoples and they shall be left undisturbed.

Where the sun rises it is found that the gods weave us a small lake with fish. One day we will fish these waters.

Edinburgh builds roads and increase the trade of silk. We are mighty. Soon the villages will number three. The Great Silk Worm is praised.

Thin silk is spun these days. [note: this seems to be a bad omen] Our tribe grows boastful and looks to expand before the gods will it. Edinburgh will be erased from the fabric of time if our tribe looks to settle more. Our gold is lost. We have squandered the fruits of the Silk Worm. Our children will curse our names. Oh gods, see our repentance. Spare us your wrath. You are mighty indeed.

The Silk Worm be Praised! The gods are pleased indeed. The secret of working bronze is woven into the dreams and thoughts of the wise. Wise men begin to study the ways of Ceremonial Burial. When this is done our people will be forever woven into minds of the gods.

500 years have passed. Our archers move to the river banks - they are fleet as fish. Our warriors continue to witness the darkness pulled back as the Silk Worm weaves our world. Edinburgh sets to build more roads.

[note: this seems to be to end of the rule of the Skrobi. Archeologists continue to dig for more tablets but all that we find are tubers.]
