Yes, King Thor and all, Fixed Game 2 is now a rated game. The first rated turn is actually turn 30 with the Power Graph first being recorded on turn 39 (not 40). This means that the 24 hour rule is enforced as of now, and 3 forced next-turns in a row results in a triple defeat and elimination of that "3 next-turned" player.

(How you doing against the A/I Keygen? ... tick tock tick tock )

[Keygen]

Hahahaha, lol.

Seeing that billhq has disappeared with no instructions, (I believe on vacation) I have agreed with Keygen to get a sub for him. I asked Jon if he would sub for billhq and he has agreed. So whoever it is that sends the turn on to billhq (I cant remember.. Was it you Keygen?) send the turn to Jon now.

Also this is a temporary sub. However, if billhq doesn’t contact us in 3 days It will become a permanent substitution.

Happy new Year everyone.

Turn 31 to King Thor ---

Tell me how the Assyrians could create the Philosopher's Stone when they haven't even discovered Philosophy yet??

Greetings to the Greek leader!

[King Thor]

Turn -> Fearless Leader of the Zulu people.

======================

Russia continues its age of prosperity as trade blossoms, people seek enlightenment in the arts and the sciences. Our coffee houses go full, and tobacco smoke fills the cafes.The Czar has ordered the construction of marketplaces in the major cities to further strengthen and improve internal trade.

Also, an emissary from the Assyrian people visited the Czar and asked that his people be enlightened by the Great Russian people. The Czar mused for a while over this rare request, and then granted it. Several great philosophers dvelling in Kiev made copies of their work, and gave them to the Assyrian emissary to take home to his people. Thus, the Assyrian people now may reach new levels of thought and imagination with the wonders of philosophy.

In return the emissary noted that the Russian people were adept merchants and skilled businessmen. So he helped us improve on our skills by showing us the intricacies of trade that was known to the Assyrians.

Turn 32 to King Thor --

Note - The ratings for this game started on turn 30 so the next power graph will be recorded on turn 39. If everyone wishes, we could record turn 29... doesn't matter to me.

[King Thor]

Turn -> Stavros
Zooming along nicely. this entire turn cycle took 19 hours!!

===========

A barbarian tribe has been spotted some distance from our nation, but still within the lands of Prussia. They will be dealt with swiftly.

Also we would appreciate the Zulus keeping tighter control over their territory for last turn barbarians coming from the depths of the Zulu forests attacked a phalanx battalion protecting the Zulu-Russian border without provocation and without warning. Although our losses were minimal, our scouts inform us of another barbarian army heading towards our border from within Zululand. If the Zulus do not demonstrate the capability to control their own territory, we will be forced to take to administering the forrests of Zululand ourselves in order to protect our people and our interests.
