A short guide so that people can decipher the jibberish being spouted.

Labour refers to a cities pop points. A size two city has two labour to assign.

Se settler
Wo worker
Wa warrior

Numbers as directions: the numbers refer to the keypad on a keyboard. 8 is due north, 2 is south, 4 west, 6 east, and so on. 88 is two tiles north.

Labour refers to a cities pop points. A size two city has two labour to assign. Also refered to as wf or work force by some people and teams.

People are free to suggest alternatives. This is simply so that all of us have an easier time following discussions. If these are accepted, they can be posted in the forum guide.

some questions though:
- why not use "citizens" (instead of "labourers") when speaking of citizens?
- A "peon labourer" is a citizen who doesn't work (but does cost food)?
- What about adding:
pro production,
GP Great Person,
GA Great Artist,
GM Great Merchant,
GPr Great Priest and
GS for Great Scientist

Good thing the game has finally started! I had almost forgot my being a breeze in this Storm about to Gather

Yeah, we smell the crap out of the other team with our "secret weapon": H2S

Works too... this is a guide to understand nye (and some others ), not a directive you've got to follow

- A "peon labourer" is a citizen who doesn't work (but does cost food)?

yeah, a citizen who doesn't work but costs food. However, these are the 'general' specialists, which don't give any GPp, but 1 hpt. Peons are different from unhappy citizens, who cost food but don't work at all.

GP Great Person,

GPr Great Prophet (priest is the specialist, prophet the GP)

Further, I'd like to add that we generally
add 'p' for 'points', and
add 'pt' for 'per turn'

(so 2 GPrppt means 2 Great Prophet points per turn)

I suppose it is too much to ask people to simply type what they mean?

[Arrian]

Of course! This is Apolyton! Or, if you prefer, ACS.

AH! So this would be a directive for NYE (and others) to follow then!

GPr Great Prophet (priest is the specialist, prophet the GP)

Of course... just a few billion believers would be somewhat offended when I'd call Jesus an Mohammed nothing but priests (though GREAT priests at that. I guess.)

For some (me) that would be difficult enough to understand as it is...

[notyoueither]

We are needed.

In a previous thread to gather people for the CIV ISDG there was less than overwhelming interest. Many of the usual demogame suspects have joined teams on other sites. The Horde have gone en masse to CGN. Most of the Mercs and some of Sarantum are at MZO. Many others may be fatigued, and some may not be happy with the organisation of the C3C ISDG.

BigFree has been doing what he can do get a civ group started and a private forum, but MarkG may have doubts that there are many on Poly who are interested in playing against 13 other sites. Is he right? I think not. Let's show 'em!

The sim is updated as of end of 3800BC with info from hut map.

See the Forum Guide thread.

[DeepO]

nye, would it be possible to update the sim again? I finally have some time this weekend to play out a couple of scenarios, and it looks like we're at a decision point...

Otherwise, I'll just use what's available, I'm sure it can give a good idea

[notyoueither]

I will update it when I get home from work.

Edit: Updated

Some people are having a problem with patience. I have some opinions of my own and I have expressed them.

I am not paying too much attention, but this caught my eye.
