Double the Fun

[sabrewolf]

yep, another SGL... got it with the last dutch ancient tech (construction iirc?). why sun-tzu and not pyramids? well, in accellerated production games, granaries aren't that much worth anyway... if i would have an SGL in fumble however... that would solve the growth problem

other wonders worthwile from that time:
- sistine chapel --> havn't even got a single cathedral yet
- SoZ, GW --> built
- GL, ToA --> obsolete in a few techs

i agree that corruption does seem low. it may also be the small distances between cities

Aqualung71 U can play the Noob one.. Just message burly and he will make a new password for u...

Yeh, I kinda figured that would be the answer....plus the lack of land for Sumeria (until recently) would have made it even more pointless.

Nah, I think you're already too late on that one

Well you could have used it to boost science....

Is this game stuck with Swissy - does he have a turn to play still? Seems like he's disappeared already.

Kermit, ok I'll PM Burly. PM me with any instructions. Have you found a replacement for this game yet, since you're leaving tomorrow for 3 weeks?

[Swissy]

I sent 1675 BC to Kermit two days ago. I have no more civs now so the game will go from Sabrewolf to Kermit from now on.

[Aqualung71]

Cheers Swissy. Sorry to see you go, but that's luck.

Sabre, the frog may have disappeared already without a replacement. That would be a real worry!

[sabrewolf]

swissy: sorry that i was the messenger of death for you. better luck with starting location in smellymummy's new PBEM

aqua: oh well... yet another stalled PBEM

Hey,

I'd be frog's replacement, though I just woke up, and saw a couple PMs from him regarding the password. I responded, but I don't know if he'll get my PM...

I don't know why he couldn't just give me any old password, and send me the save though. But he said he needed me to choose one...

[sabrewolf]

thanks for stepping in, vovan

[Aqualung71]

Well, let's hope he replies to sort this out, or this game will probably die

[sabrewolf]

not die... "just" 3 weeks break

[vovan]

Well, if Swissy could send the save intended for kermit my way, I am sure I could... retrieve... kermit's password... somehow.

[sabrewolf]

not sure swissy is still subscribed. maybe email him: markbalt AT ameritech DOT net.

[vovan]

Done.

Alrightie, 1675BC on to our Arab friends.
