Great.
Cya then.

[carnide_]

Great game. Great map.
Damn barb chariots!
I must tell you all at the forums that I learned a lot with this tourney. Last tourney game, when Smartfart crushed me with the Pyramids (Yes, the Pyramids at deity!!) I learned a lot. I think that has been helping me a lot on this game.

Our 4th round Tourny game got off to a slow start last night( we only played 2 hours). The PG shows Carnide leading by a slight margin over me and Crusty close behind in 3rd. At 625 BC, I have 9 cities,Carnide 8, and Crusty 7 so it is very close.Ive been fighting barb chariots and archers since 3000 BC( havent seen a barb horse yet)but kamikaze attacks with warriors saved me early on. Carnide built HG last turn so he seems to have the advantage. We will resume play on Tues 6:30 pm PDT. Im off to South Beach....everyone have a good weekend!

[Crustacian]

Interesting game, but I always hate the sound of someone ELSE getting HG!
Nice to have an island all to myself for a change, see you guys tuesday

See you all tuesday.

Well we made it to 460 AD in our last session. Carnide beat me by 1 turn to HG so with no other options available I built Colossus on the next turn(1st time Ive ever built Colossus in a tourny game). Carnide then built Lighthouse and immediately started sending triremes to my shores to steal techs. In the meantime, I built Pyramids, Great Wall, Sun Tzu, and Mikes. Havent run into Crusty yet but Im sure he is quietly building away. Carnide still leads on the PG with myself in 2nd and Crusty close behind. We will resume tomorrow( Tues) at 6:30 pm PDT.

Crusthaven has no wonders in it

Having now acheived a working understanding of mud theory, leading scientists, as well as vagrant head scratchers in and around the capital and other centers of learning, are carefully exploring new ideas opened up as a result of the phenominal breakthrough this understanding has created.
And to think only years ago Crusty Himself was of the opinion, as the opinion goes, that mud pies were the only usefull application of mud.
We the folk of Crusthaven hope to improve our lot in life, in spite of the alledged acheivements of the other nations reported to exist on this world.

It looks as if we all had problems getting together to resume our game this week. Lets reschedule for next Tues. Sept. 26th 6:30 pm PDT. Let me know ASAP if this doesnt work for you or if we need to select an alternate time.

Everyone seems to be going democratic these days... but it seems that bribed dips can not steal techs from their former comrades!! Unless someone knows why a dip would fail to steal a tech from a newly located city(not stolen from before) with no dip inside. But in the meantime, the Crusty Folk are looking foreward to the time when the ancestors of Henry Kissinger will be replaced by the far more effective line of Mata Hari class spies.
We have collected all of our known writings together in one place and advertised all in the world to contribute. We call it The Great Crusty Library. The original travois used to transport these gathered works was replaced by a wheel barrow soon after the GCL's completion with techniques newly learned by our librarians from the imported texts.
Improvised versions of this wheel called "rolling pins" are growing in popularity among the women folk in the capital. It was claimed by the representative for the women folk at the last Althing Council that these can not only be used to roll out dough, but to deeply impress important points from family discussions on the men folk by tapping it on their heads. This causes most men to "sit down" and take another hard look at what was presented to them... The armed forces has recently swelled to overflowing with men volunteering for overseaas assignments, it is thought to be purely coincidence.
Residants of Crustyhavn have enjoyed meeting both the Roman and the Souix Folk, and hope that they are all HAPPY!! and doing well in the world. On a saturday night many come to peer throught the new telescope at Crustyhavn Observatory.
Looking foreward to resuming tonight 6:30 PM Pacific Crusty Time, which is also Pacific Napster Time, and 2:30 AM Continental Carnide Time.

Carnide had a very good session last night. He and I are just short of "hot" war with numerous diplomatic attacks including tech theft, sabotage, and bribing of each others units. No one is technically at war yet and Carnide just reached democracy. I will be out of town next week so lets schedule our next session for Tues. Oct. 10th at 6:30 pm PDT.

[Crustacian]

Are we on for tuesday at 6:00 pm pacific time or there abouts?
