Cool idea Pilfur, writing from a different PoV.

[Rhuarc]

Sorry guys, but I'm afraid I am going o have to drop out of this game. I thought I would have the time, but my schedue just keeps getting busier and busier. If the file could be forwardded on to IW that would be great. If it hasn't been forwarded by tonight though I can do it. Let me know if you can forward it or if I need to tonight later. I'm still going to watch the game and see what happens, i just don't have time to play anymore. Have fun!! Maybe another time!!

[Pilfur]

So who is next in line? Is this game dead?

[Immortal Wombat]

Oops, sorry
I guess its me again Pilfur, if you would be so kind as to mail me the file. I have been (comparatively) busy recently, so I think I lost touch a bit, but I'm ready to play this week.

Pilfur,

That was a cool idea summarizing your turn with a 3rd party ancient journal.

I might borrow that someday.

Since Rhuarc had to drop out of this game, I'd be more than happy to take has place, so this game doesn't die out. The reason I'm asking is because Game 3 is going a little too slow for my liking.

Of course, you don't have to let me in. I was just wondering if I could squeeze in.

I got the file OK. I'll play ASAP.

Edit: I actually posted this message after Immortal Wombat's, 3 hrs later than the time says. Why the board placed my message before the others, I have no idea.

[Pilfur]

I vote to let you in. This game will ping pong back and forth a little too quickly with so few players

I'm sending the file to Wombat. Wombat, you make the call as to whether we let this fellow join in, and then pass the file accordingly.

[Pilfur]

Hope the file gets there ok, had some troule sending to you before WOmbat.

[Immortal Wombat]

Jonny, if you want to take the file now, in place of Rhuarc, that would be fine, and then you can take each of his turns from now on. I just got game 3, and I find it difficult to play both in a day... I will mail it to you ASAP.

The reason I'm asking is because Game 3 is going a little too slow for my liking

That's why I began it - welcome aboard

Pilfur, the file came through fine, and along with it came a second email from you with no attatchment, so that was no problem.

EDIT:

This is the transcript of Jonny I.

200 - Jonny I came to power after murdering Rhuarc in the palace on March 15. He gives an order for the two armies near Berlin to merge into 1. He asks the french to leave our territory at once, and they accept. He then accidentaly enslaves a French settler, and they declare war on us.

220 - The french are gathering around C.U.T.G.W.M.

240 - We Discover Feudalism. We then begin research on beauacracy. All cities building samurai are told to build knights instead. We begin gathering troops around C.U.T.G.W.M.

260 - Our twelve stack of soldiers near Berlin attack, but fail to capture the city. More fights near C.U.T.G.W.M.

280 - Our slaver in scottish territory meets and english settler. Diplomatic contact is established. All french near C.U.T.G.W.M. are eliminated.

300 - Greece's first knights are built.

320 - To keep the people happy, Jonny I introduces a new game to the people of Greece: Civ3!! (nothing important happens)

340 - We capture slaves in Stuttgart. We begin a build up of soldiers so we can attack the French city of Cannes.

360 - Discover Beauacracy. We begin work on Shipbuilding. Jonny I overthrows the Monarchy to form a Republic.

380 - We make contact with the Irish. Civ3 still played during anarchy.

399 - One year before the turn of the century, the Republic is set up. On March 15, Jonny I is murdered in the Senate. The people of Greece are so sad that they don't play Civ3 for a year.

Herein lies a transcript of the reign of Wombat the GodKnowsHowMany^th

• 400AD - Mountainside development project (M'sD'vm'ntPr'j) begun, with great improvements to local infrastructure. The Army moves east towards the french border.
• 420AD - Wombat does some modern art ~~:~~:~~
• 440AD - Hannover has city walls, so the slaver verntures elsewhere. In scotland, slaves re captured from the Muid of Ord
• 460AD - Elke builds a knight. Outside Marathon, a large (5) German army is sighted, and troops retreat into the safety of the city to garrison.
• 480AD - Slaves captured from Stuttgart.
• 500AD - BLACKOUT. Wombat dies of a stroke after 100 years of heavy drinking.
  Then a branch of the Temporal Police Force rescues Greece from certain death by throwing the whole of reality into a parallel universe where Wombat did not die.
• 520AD - Years lost in weird temporal accident. Temporal Police Force launches full internal investigation as there is a suspicion that someone accidentally pressed "Enter" when they shouldn't have. The Temporal Police Force is branded "Institutionalaly Stupid".
• 540AD - Ramsgate begins building knights. Our huge army attacks Cannes, but facing fierce resistance, they are forced into a retreat, suffering casualties to a French defence of knights, mounted archers and hoplites.
• 560AD - Our catapults, all of which survived the unfortuanate attack, begin a heavy campaign of bombardment against Cannes. In the first 20 years, two mounted archer squads are killed. Filmgoers in Cannes are dissappointed, and next-years film festival is cancelled due to Greek bombardment.
  Elke rush-buys more knights as the German army approaches.
  Extensive mining is carried out on the outskirts of Athens.
  BLACKOUT Again Wombat suffers a stroke, and again the TPF have to knock reality sideways...
• 580AD - The catapults outside Cannes kill a hoplite unit. A reconnaisance mission reveals that Cannes still has 6 mounted archers, an archer, a hoplite and a knight garrissoned as a guard. More french units are nearby.

Wombat the retires from government, and retreats to his retirement home in the Grey Wombat Mountians, where he reads the Ramayana cover2cover, and starts to translate it into Latin, the upcoming language of the upper-classes.

Herein lies the short history of Rooboy the "umpteenth"

600 AD: Rooboy is elected to replace the Wombat as the next leader of the mighty Greeks. However, before his swearing in as leader, he is stabbed in the back by his military advisor, Guido. It seems Guido had a hidden agenda...
