Who is going to play our next turn?

[vondrack]

1170AD with us. I have just came home from a dinner with Soren Johnson and his family (they are in Prague) and do not feel like spending two more hours playing the turn. I have a squash match tomorrow morning, so I will most probablly play the turn in about 12 hours only.

I will have a quick look now and post if there is anything important.

The only important thing to report is that GS is now in the modern era. We are ~13 turns behind. Amphibious Warfare still not discovered by anyone. Flight with us (and everybody else).

How was that? Meeting the "l0rd 0f g33kz" (as I joke around with Jan about ) must have been pretty interesting.

Well, he had his family with him, so it was much less Civ than what it would be otherwise, I guess - and when we got to talking about Civ it was more on a general level, like explaining what civ and the world around it is like to his mum and dad. But he is a great guy and his family is an extremely nice company, too. It was a pleasant evening.

1180AD with us, going to play immediately.

1190AD with us, playing the turn.

Nothing worth reporting, it seems - everything still quiet.

Holy sh!t How in the name of God did you get to know and meet Soren? And why wasn't I invited ?

Btw, I was on vacation (yes, again!), hence my 2 weeks long absence.

They were here on vacations... he mentioned his plans in a forum and I offered to take him and his family to a fine restaurant here. It was a pleasant evening.

Way to go, V! Hope you got some good input in for the next Civ!

You must have a talent to read the right forums then

Btw, did he mention anything about visiting Erfurt in the near future?

[Jon Shafer]

He said he was going to Praha, Budapest and other such places in the east.

[Tiberius]

Those two are definitely very nice places to visit in Central/Eastern Europe I know, I've seen them both. I would imagine that he is going to see Wien and maybe Berlin as well.

As for visiting Erfurt: I've never heard about this town until coming to work here The nearby Weimar (20 km) is much better known, even though it is much smaller.

[Jon Shafer]

I don't think he's going to Wien, I asked him and he said he's already gone there before.

[Tiberius]

Well, it was just a guess. Anyway, I'm glad that there are people in the US who have heard about Eastern Europe and consider it worth visiting

[Jon Shafer]

He has a history degree.

I've found that 100% of history majors think that but only 1% of the rest of the American population.
