It's a Mad Mad Scxn Game!

[Straybow]

It is a silly place.

Well, of course the city names have only just gotten to "C" for the really obvious one. (It's only a model.)

Staggering home, barely conscious, Staybow just manages to post the file. But it isn't like anything happened. Built some Settlers, a Caravan which hopes that someday we'll have ships that can take it to another continent, a Market, a Library or two, a Temple or two… you get the picture.

Of course we had to discover Currency, Trade, and Writing before we could build 'em.

One Viking ship was spotted off the coast near Avalon, therefore I suspect they abide to the South.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Straybow, if you wanted a Monty Pythons reference, you should have named Sir Robin the Brave our king. Remember his bard

[Scouse Gits]

'boobs' he calls ussss, preshussss ... Yes I had noticed Arthur and Avalon, but I haven't played yet

[Straybow]

Have fun Msr Nic. I'm sure they've got some kind of drug for coming down off your Civ/Apolyton addiction while on vacation.

I'll go, then SG[1], then return to play order with Julius.

STYOM, beer? And SG will starting naming cities for cheap Dago reds?

[ Note to self: Name the king "Arthur." Call the tribe "Britons." Not one of these boobs gets it, not even a Monty Python reference on the horizon. Try leading by example…]

Waiting to make sure that we got the Gardens, were you?

The more the merrier

To Stray: The last game I played on my own, I named all the cities after indigenous beer brands... I suppose I could do that alphabetically...

really ROTFLMAO
Damn - I've been sussed

Stray - with luck this evening, but realistically probably not before tomorrow so please anyone - grab the game and post you're on it and I shall wait

SG[1] - encumbered := job && parenthood && significant other && (other mundane duties || marking before examination boards)

Stray, no statue yet?


I'd like to join but... I'll be soon on holiday so I think not to be "Apoliytoning" for the next 10 days.

<--- Here is Mr. Niccolò for the next days...

Oh yeah, love the city names. They really go with the Celto-Anglo civ thing.

(Note to self: Next time the roolz will state that names have to be taken from towns listed in the 1992 Rand-McNally Road Atlas of Great Britain )

GS[1], I'll wait. By "at the moment" you mean you'll get to it by this evening (GMT), not "maybe Thursday?" Not letting job, parenthood, significant other, or mundane duties get in the way of civving, are you?

Straybow, I am afraid that many players don't like special rules. Internet is the land of the free
I agree that we're up to a bad start. Maybe even without rules it would be tough. But as you have not forbidden the Howie, I remain confident.

[Straybow]

Maybe this one is just the three of us. I'll go again, but another can join and catch up.

Yello, Merc? Nic? Anyone else want a go at this?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Don't say I didn't warn you!

As Warlord STYOM prepares to step down in favour of Vice-Warlord Al ('I invented the Phalanx') Gore, an unhappy mob gathers outside the Citadel, begging for another term. 'Who will save us from the oncoming barbarians?', they cry. A moving plea, and besides, the mob is armed. Thus, another 500 years of STYOM.

1400: Aztecs start Pyramids. Monarchy discovered, 1 turn too late for Oedo Seeking Pottery, now.
1350: nothing much.
1300: Oedo
1250: Settler in Brenzaidograd; starts Warriors. Monarchy formed!
1200-1150: very quiet.
1100: Warriors in Brenzaidograd; Settlers started.
1050: Beachyfish founded; starts Warrior.
1000: Vikings start Hanging Gardens Settler in Abington; Settler started.
975: BoobooOnYou builds Settlers; Settlers started. Pottery discovered! Colossus work changed to HG. Now we're learning Currency.
950: Nothing much.
925: Gardens rushed. Catchyname founded, starts Warriors.
900: Gardens built, Vikings switch to Colossus. Colossus started in Avalon.

STYOM rides off into the night, having played too many turns and leaving his successor to ponder whether to try for Colossus ahead of the Vikings, or (hint, hint) aim for MPE.

NB. Those of you who want a challenge will be pleased to hear that we are 5th on the Powergraph

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

OK... but now that I'm at work... expect the save this evening.

Or go ahead and play if you so choose!

[Straybow]

STYOM, I did a little over 20 turns, Julius did almost 20, so do another 10 or so and then we'll see if anybody else is gonna join.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Quite brief log... but then, not much happened.


1950: Mad Warlord STYOM takes control after Warlord Brenzaida is found asleep in his soup.
1900 - 1850: nada
1800: Code of Laws discovered. Researching Monarchy.
1750: Settler in Abington; starts Settler.
1700: Booboo on You founded; starts Warrior.
1650: zilch.
1600: Barbarians land near Booboo on You (2 archers). Phalanx rushed.
1550: Phalanx assembled in Booboo on You; starts Settler.
1500: Brenzaidogradian Chariot defeats barb Archer.
1450: Betwixt 2 Bays founded; starts Settler. Barb archers pounded to smithereens under our mighty Chariot wheels.

Well pleased with his sleaze, STYOM can now rest in his ease.

Here's the save.

STYOM
