[Gazablanca]

The reign of Gazablanca the 1st(1200 AD-1290 AD)

A young bloke called Gazablanca comes from nowhere to seize the throne.Here are his transcripts from his reign......

1200 AD
Settler sent on walkies to darkabode,to be picked up by longship and transported to the island SW of the mainland.The longship is set on its way.

1210 AD
Nothing much happens,except settler added to Snorf's build queue.Units continue to explore the islands around the world.To relieve the boredom,a beard growing contest is announced by Gazablanca which will be run in conjunction with drinking copious amounts of beer...........

1220 AD
A few of our explorer units are being chased around on the desert island south of the mainland by a stinky barbarian .The longship west of the island is deployed to pick them up.Gazablanca vows to destroy the barb at another time..........Nothing else much happens......

1230 AD
Nothing much else happens yet again....Gaza orders a stop to the beard growing competitions after many people die in stupid ways after tripping over their hirsute facial rugs and toppling to their deaths.However,the beer drinking continues...........

1240 AD
Great news!!!!The feudalism advance is complete,meaning that Knights and Pikemen can be built.This is done so immediately in several cities.Also,a capitol building is automatically built in Snorf.The next advance to be researched is Bureaucracy,hopefully enabling a better type of government to be enacted-Republic.
The settler and a hoplite is finally picked up from Darkabode and is being transported to the SW island,and a granary is rush bought In New Zealand.

1250 AD
Gazablanca lazes around in his castle in Snorf.....he is growing ever more bored as nothing of any event is happening.He drowns his sorrows with yet more beer

1260 AD
Nothing of any importance happens.

1270 AD
Settler and Hoplite landed on SW Island-Longship sent back to Darkabode to await settler being produced in Snorf.This settler will then be transported to the other end of the SW island to colonise it.

1280 AD
Gazablanca City founded on SW island.Gaza toyed with calling it the Gaza Strip,but wisely acknowledged that there was probably somewhere else in the world with that name already......A granary is started in this city.Also on this turn,2 new civilisations are encountered-the KwaZulus(while circumnavigating the desert island-they seem hostile)and the Nicaraguans(encountered one of their longships in centre of the map-seem a lot more friendly)Gazablanca gives gold to both civilisations as a greeting and also as a bribe for swopping maps in later turns.......
Also,Gaza uses the large public works pot to make improvements around the whole of the nation,including fisheries,ports and mines.

1290 AD
English city of Brighton found on forested island near the centre of the map....longship withdraws immediately.Nowt else of importance happens.Settler will be built next turn in Snorf though.....

And so after,a century of efficient(but sometimes boring) ruling,Gazablanca cops it.However,on his deathbed before this,Gazablanca predicts that his heirs will once again take up the throne.Omnigod is named as Gazablanca's immediate successor........and a beer is named to honour Gazablanca's reign,simply
named "Gaz's Evil Brew":.......

[Darkknight]

a capitol building is automatically built in Snorf

Why Snorf already has a capitol from the start it does no good to build another one

[OmniGod]

Okay... finally my turn... just waiting for the file.... I'd love to play tonight.. but I don't have the file yet... hint...

May my reign be long and glorious.

Well short and acceptable.

Omni

[Sean]

Yeah,

Come on guys, get a wriggle on Lets see a few more transcripts being posted. The other posts are still of crucial importance of course ....Such as this post...
But we do seem to be playing this game at record slow speed...

Sean.

[Immortal Wombat]

Still managed 6 pages of conversation though

[Skeeve]

I'll be ready and waiting as soon as Omnigod is finished.
It looks like I'll get my turn in before my vacation!

Then I'll be away from July 13 to July 20th.

[OmniGod]

I'll play my turn... but I need the file first... Gaz? what's up?

[Immortal Wombat]

I'm away from the 27th July, and through most of August, but I should have played by then, and it might not get around again before September

[Gazablanca]

Omni,
I sent the file around 5.00 pm (GMT) on Saturday,so I have no clue why you didn't receive it by now...
I will send it again though.......

Oh,and Darknight,its me being a doink about the capitol building......I realised that the capitol is present in the first city built only after I posted.............I didn't realise that the capitol can only be rebuilt after gaining the Feudalism advance........DOH!!!!!!

[Darkknight]

Again hurry up! pleez We had the game two finished by now

I'm off on the 14th to the 12th of August . Three weeks in France and a week in England

[OmniGod]

The year 1300 AD, and after the death of Gazablanca... the little known OmniGod took control of the Australians... his first order of business was to rid the Australians of all beer and liquor, he wanted a pure nation of science lovers. Beer was outlawed and the tomb of Gazablanca was thrown into the sea as an offering to end the tyranny of all the previous rulers with their beer and prostitution... the shackles were coming off, Omni guaranteed before he died... the Australians would be free.

The good ship "Lollipop" after many years of searching the high seas for land and food has come across an island below the equator 180 degrees from Snorf. The crew is sent from the boat to explore this new island... the men brag of real action on the mainland and all magazines are stowed away and the crew's excursion to the mainland is a pleasant one.

5 years later in 1305, the Nicarguans meet with the supreme Omni and demand that all Australians leave the shores of Nicargua... thinking this to be fair, Omni demands an exchange to please his people... he asks for maps.. the deal is rejected and archers land south of Nueva Guinea in defiance of the Nicarguans. The longship "Invasion" moves westward to scout ahead for any Nicarguan troops in the area. Meanwhile, the longship "Snorf" has a course change and plots a course to the English city of Brighton.

The year is 1310AD and the city of Gazablanca City riots in the streets learning of the death of Gazablanca 10 years ago, and the prohibition of beer and the desicration of Gaza's tomb. A shrine in honour of Gaza built to cool the mob, and military archers are dispatched to Gazablanca City. Back in Snorf, the great scientific community discovers the plans for a Republic... Omni is pleased... and commissions the work scientific community to start work on a short project: Concrete. Up the road in Young, caravans are completed and Omni begins the recruition of diplomats to learn the ways of other leaders. Thousands of miles away, shore leave is cancelled for the "Lollipop" crew as raging Zulus are found to inhabit the island...

1315 was the year to be remembered as the discovery of the fabled city of Isandlwana of the KwaZulu tribe.... this great city is home to the legendary Forbidden City. Australians in the "Lollipop" sail past, hurling insults and rotten fruit at the city. Forbidden my ass they scream... we found you... stick out their tongues and flash thier fanny at the cannibal Zulus stuck in the city walls.

1320... out of Isandlwana comes a longship chasing the "Lollipop" crew away, but still discovering Swazi... another slum of the Zulus... the crew isnt' impressed but enjoys ridding itself of the rotten fruit from the long journey to this Cannibal island... actually it was reported that the Zulus were seen to be eating their own children... this was uncomfirmed but seemed reasonably correct given the new enligthenment of the Australians.

1325, the first of many diplomats were trained in Young and sent south to wait for the next passing ship to Indonesia. In the southern English island, the Australian archers marched into English territory around Brighton. Not liking the idea of a city smarter than Snorf, the archers vowed to sack Brighton.

1330, Omni enacts the governmental change to the Republic hoping to jump start a failing scientific following. In Snorf, the glass trade was changed to Semarary increasing profit from the trade route... the economy boomed and the sale of small lab kits grew.... beer was still prohibited and thus wasn't purchased. Parties were now known as science experiments and vagrant were feed beer (by special order of Omni) until they died, data collected proved that drinking 5 gallons of whiskey and beer chasers was detrimental to your health. The prohibition continued.

1335 AD, the Brighton invasion loomed closer.

1340, the English demand that troops be removed from the surrounding countryside of Brighton... again Omni, being a fair and noble leader agrees but demands maps in exchange... the English refuse and the archers lay siege to Brighton... 5 days past and the archers were killed by the lone mounted archer in the city walls... tired and afraid the near dead english archer hid in the lower city walls.... Omni learning of this tragedy declares war on England for killing his archers without cause. Later he would learn the archers "started it" but by that time, he didn't care... dam English he would mutter as he walked down the castle halls.

1345, the new government emerges from anarchy and the Republic is born. The Australians free to learn and love, explode in science and concrete is almost completed. The ship "Snorf" lies off the coast of Brighton ready to pounce when it learned of the death of the great Omni. They are torn between his death and his successor... they vow to sack Brighton for the deaths of Australian archers but wait to hear word from the new leader. It is said that on Omni's death bed he smiled knowing his people were free to be what they wanted to be now... freedom was Omni's legacy. Prohibition was lifted for one day to pay homage to Omni and then it was implace again... many camel accident deaths were reported and beer was found to be the cause.. the curse of Gazablanca returned with the death of thousands.

1350.... the Great Skeeve is named successor... will he rule in honour of Omni or become a tyrant... will he win the war against England or make peace... the citizens wonder... and wait for his lordship to answer..........
