New official OCC record: 1803

[Paul]

I just finished an OCC game where I landed in 1803. I used the give-away-all-your-science tactic. Unfortunately I had some bad cases of changes in the beakers required for next tech. This cost me a couple of years and it even happened on the last turn so I had to delay launch because I didn't have Fusion Power. I hope to break the 1800 barrier soon.

Paul!!
Please stop setting these new OCC records will you?

No seriously, great result once again, not that I'm the least bit surprised. Congrats!

You wouldn't happen to have kept a log, would you? And did you save the game early enough for this to become another comparison game?

[Ming]

Well Paul, what can any of us say except, BEAT 1800... YOU CAN DO IT!

As usual, congratulations on another fine record. You are simply amazing.

Now go out and buy MP so we can kick your butt

Heck, I've beaten the 1903 mark quite a number of times. Nothing to it. Easy.

Oh wait, you said 1803, not 1903!

Excellent job as always, Paul!

Unfortunately, no early save and no logs. When I started the game I didn't think I'd do that well. The city had no rivers and a bit too many non-trade squares. I later irrigated two forests to plains, but I never thought about the record until I compared the game to my 1821 log. The main difference is probably that I settled around 3500 BC compared to 2350 BC in the 1821 game. The specials in this game were whale, fish, gold and spice.

Bob, you've come to the right place! [Hey, another KC boy!] Go browsing thru the old posts -- they're a gold mine.

[kcbob]

You've got that right, valmont. I can't believe how much I've learned in the week I've been perusing this site. Now I'm afraid I'll be spending more time reading posts than playing. Nah. Won't happen. U KC 2, huh?

[Sten Sture]

kcbob - and then you can calculate that you are spending twice as much time posting as playing!

KC guys - help me out - Arthur _______'s Barbeque - can't remember and it is driving me crazy.

kcbob: Not from KC (Central New York and San Diego were my old stomping grounds). My wife, though, was born and raised there and is from old line German/Irish families of KC.

Hey, SS, how could you forget Arthur "Bryant's" BBQ? And do you know where it got it's reputation? In Playboy magazine a few years back, there was an article on restaurants. It began... "Not all of the great restaurants in the world are in Kansas City... only the top five." And the toppest was AB's.
