The 'No Trade, No Problem' Succession Game

[La Fayette]

... succession game

[Hydey]

Come on , lets play as a team and do it my way.

[La Fayette]

Be happy, SG[1]!
I chose zero research (but it was mainly in order to build a number of crusaders and disband them ,so as to build Mike ASAP).

420 We meet the Aztecs and they kindly give us 150g to keep us smiling.
We .
480 MIKE is completed; ASTRO is discovered; REPUBLIC not offered; we start 'researching' UNIV (research slider set at 0 ) and start building COPE.
500 Celt elephant attacks a crusader and dies (the crusader was fortified on mountain).
560 Celts give 75g for a cease fire, but our reputation is already atrocious, so we take KELLS.
580 We meet the Mongols who give us 25g to keep us smiling. We ...and give them a number of techs, because of the nice colour of their uniforms (beakers/tech reduced from 1012 to 908 IIRC).
600 COPE is completed; research slider goes up.
620 Advanced tribe, sorry to be named BOONOSPYATALL
640 We take CARDIFF (but the defenders were so numerous that the city and the Oracle are destroyed )
660 STARVINGCAMEL established; CARMARTHEN destroyed.
740 We take CAERNARFON
780 The Greeks will have 350g; we disagree = war.
800 UNIV discovered; REP not offered; we choose to research SEAFARING (so many huts left to tip all around the world ).

to the next leader: the crusaders SE of Detroit are waiting for a city to be built where they stand (the settler ready to embark, close to STARVINGCAMEL, should be able to do that, and that city might be our starting point for the conquest of America)

Hmmmm, did the Aztec break the cease fire after paying us off, or did we enhance our rakish reputation?
We want Rep to trade to our enemies, that they may foolishly cripple themselves?
I'd still go for Nav first, so our armies may be ferried more efficiently. ( Be patient, Admiral Git. The Navy will take the offensive in due time.)

I see the save and shall play in the fullness of time

And research what I damn well please

Well, I'm afraid we enhanced... Our rabid crusaders were busy chasing Celt elephants and a young Aztec horseman found it wise to fortify on a chokepoint and stop us. Such vile provocations cannot be tolerated

Re: The 1st Hydey years

Gentlemen,

Could it be that Republic was not offered because Hydey had already discovered it?

We discovered Rep 650 years ago

@ La Fayette

I must have been very sleepy when I checked

[-Jrabbit]

OK, so La Fayette has played. That means 2 things.

1. It's STYOM's turn (our fearless leader).
2. Need to determine how many turns this round. 10? 12? 15?

Oh, and looking at the order, I can't help but notice that I'm trapped between two Gits...

1. Yes it is. I promise to tear myself away from Grand Theft Auto, tonight

2. I'm aiming for fewer turns, just because at 20 turns apiece, we may not all get a second turn. I'm thinking 12, or 10.

Admiral Git

Ahem, I believe the full quote shoulda been:

They're just old college buddies with whom I share a lot of common interests -- drinking, gaming, bridge, golf, scifi, pinball, pro sports, etc.

I find their elevated status on Poly a source of infinite amusement.
