Well we played a 4 way with trev, a very harmonious and cooperative session.
Yes, possibly our most harmonious and cooperative session ever. In fact, I would propose sending Horse to Iraq and Deity to North Korea on diplomatic missions. With their patience, tact and tolerance, Iraq and North Korea would both succumb to their diplomatic skills and the world would be a safer place.
I'd suggest Hydey go too, except he'd probably forget to go to the airport.

Since I don't think a harmonious session would generate such interest and a request to post King's chat I am tempted to believe there were fireworks.......

It was longer than 20 minutes. A 20+ minutes turn in the B.C. era would have to go down in Civ folklore.
