Land Ahoy

Turn sent to Agagnon.

Another question for anybody who knows - when you change your government, the number of turns your civ is in anarchy seems to vary. Is this a random number? Anybody know the parameters?

[Gavrushka]

I know it is between 1 and 4 - I hypothesised that it was based on happiness... But if that is a factor, it is a minor contributor... A also know of Anrachies longer than the stipulated max of 4

turn 12 to Ricketyclik.

Turn 12 up with the mains'l to J Bytheway.

By the way, I see John B made this week's news at apolyton:

"CtPEd v0.2beta: This is a program written by John Bytheway to ease the
editing of certain CTP2 data files. It is a program that allow[s] you to
edit the data files, like advance.txt, units.txt, etc. through a
(hopefully) natural, useful and efficient GUI [and] allow[s] you to
easily make mass modifications of the entries in the above files. e.g.
You could easily double the cost of all advances, or subtract one from
the upkeep of all buildings [and it] allow[s] you to automatically
generate complex Great Library (GL) entries based on templates (which you
create) so as to save yourself the boredom of editing endless GL entries.
This program is still in early beta so it. very important that you read
the readme and forum thread carefully."

More than just a pretty aerofoil!

Turn wrapped in soft seaweed and thrown carefully to FlameFlash.

Yeah, I feel kind of wierd, reading about myself in the news. It was interesting to see them paraphrase my posts and readme .

"WtF?"

*Unwrapps*

"Oh."

Turn 13, Land Ahoy to Ricketyclik.

[ricketyclik]

As I cast my eye around my fecund and faithful people and see the good works they have done, I see that they deserve more. They themselves seem content enough, but I cannot but wonder "Is there more to be had in this existence?"

Turn 13 scraped off with the barnacles and jettisoned to J Bytheway.

[J Bytheway]

I thought you could only jettison from a spacecraft...

Turn 13 to FlameFlash

[ricketyclik]

jettison v.t. throw (goods) overboard, esp. to lighten aircraft or ship in distress.

From the Australian Pocket Oxford Dictionary.

[FlameFlash]

flameflash@mac.com working again, please restart sending turns there.

[david42one]

Turn 14 thrown overboard to lighten ship in distress to Agagnon
