Careful... [1] may have mellowed since becoming a married man, but he was very emphatic that it was HIS turn, last week

Look 5 posts up

[Bloody Monk]

Oh, I saw that. I was more impacted by the date on the post. Good taste compels against speculating about the cause of the delay; but, whatever, it has been nearly a week.

So, The honeymoon can wait...

Actually, if they " " the honeymoon should be completed...

[Bloody Monk]

Clearly, the Rabbit point of view is "one" dimensional; whereas, I believe, the RAR will have planned a layered approach to the campaign with multiple vectors of exploitation.

Actually, I am not so concerned about the delay as I have been quite ill the past week and could not play either. It would be nice to have a "I'm on the case" post, or, so I do suppose.

Don't panic ... the Gits will complete their turns tomorrow night

I was down to finish it myself - but along came two other games that had to be played.

More Sweetness

OK you guys - I'm back - married, but unbowed (he lies) - the delay was caused more by frantic exam setting than by nuptuals, but such is life....

==========

0680 = Aqueduct in Mean City; Gold, Pool of Grace-Mean City, 28g; Gold, Sticky Meanie - Heaven's Gate, 28g; tickle
0700 = much tickling

0740 = Wine, Maxwell's Hammer - Mean City, 50g; and much tickling; Science back to 50%; Wine(d), Bad leroy Brown-Beggarsville, 54g;
0760 = Library in Mean City now size 12; lux to 20 science to 70; much tickling;
0780 = tickling
0800 = Medicine->Astronomy; tickling
0820 = Library in Pool of Grace; tickle
0840 = minor tickle
0860 = Salt (rehomed), Mean City - Antium, 146g; Spice, Mean City - Antium, 150g; tickle

Sanitation is a quarter of the way in; Shake's builds on the turn; Mean City scheduled for explosive development after Sewer System & Bank (hint, hint); triremes coming home to disband into Caravels for ship chain to Rome (hint, hint, hint); Food caravans on the way for Ike's - looks pretty good - we fancy getting to Commie & building a zillion vet spies prior to Jihad.

We actually played most of these turns on my [1] 'Stag Night' - sad sad people that we are!

We played 20 turns so please play 10 turns each now.

Ididntdoit!

But, yeah... I would have though that 'no rehoming vans' was up there in the same rules strata as 'no reloading bad huts'...

[La Fayette]

Caravan rehoming is allowed in CFC's GOTMs.
Someone probably got mixed up

[Bloody Monk]

The Monk has the ball. Will play tomorrow, I hope.

What's caravan rehoming??

Monk

[SCG]

just out of curiousity - i bribed a caravan in the no science game - it was in one of our city limits, so it was supported from one of our cities. Is there a ruling for if we bribe a caravan and it turns out to be NON? (thats the only time i ever rehome a caravan)

I understand what you have done and your hints are well taken...except the bit about disbanding triremes. Is this because the Lighthouse will go out pretty soon, making them landhuggers again??

I suppose you tried to get Invention from the Greens and they declined while working on Leo's?? Or did you defer swapping techs because the Germs have Great Lib??

How valuable is the alliance with Purple?? You didn't mention any "gifts" from them. Getting them to disband will put our trireme on jets, allowing for quicker disposal.

Finally, what happened with the Americans?? A few turns back we exchanged maps, now we are at war??

Just a few questions. Hope you don't mind and can get back soon.
