The transcript of Jonny the Un-Conqueror.

1695- Jonny Comes to power. He has a fit because he notices that Bobs New and Improved Island Cottage is on a one tile island so barbs can't sack it. He sends the winchester army next to manchester.

1700 - Our army next to Manchester is pounded with bombardment. We retreat to Winchester. Our boats are exploring the high seas.

1705 - We discover Optics. We begin work on Chaos Theory... No, I mean Cannon Making.

1710 - A sacrifical pikeman is sent into Manchester to see the garrison. It is made up of 1 Cavalry and a bunch of Cannons, Catapults, and fire ships.

1715 - We defend Irateland from Raiding Mexicans.

1720 - The Zulu begin work on the Emancipation Act. We begin work on Civ3.

1725 - Riots in Bob's New and Improved Island Cottage. We scale back workday and increase pay.

1730 - The Greeks begin work on the Emancipation Act.

1735 - We have finished making Civ3. It entertains people by the millions.

1740 - The English complete the Emancipation Act. They also capture Winchester from us. The people no longer trust their leader. Jonny is forced to step down from leadership.

Hello Everyone!!

I'm back, and well tanned from Long Beach Island, New Jersey!!

I see things have progressed rather well here.
I'd also like to welcome newcomer Chris Horscroft to the game. Thanks Me_Irate for posting the update

Welcome Back Dave Murray! How was it being :banned:?
I hope that you're enthusiasm over font sizes doesn't lead you into trouble again...

Interesting that we conquered Wincester and then lost it again. Oh well. I hope we've softened those English up a bit.

I haven't finished reading all the summaries yet.. just mostly skimmed them. I particularly liked Wombat's summary.. that was quite entertaining, and perhaps one of the longer ones.

Well, it's good to be back, and I see my turn is only about 5 people away already.

[me_irate]

Good to have you back skeeve.

Rooboy is elected as the umpteenth President of Australia, as Australia is a republic.

1750 AD: Disgusted by the lack of Diplomacy with other nations, Rooboy orders the first ever Australian diplomat, named Bill, to set up a foreign embassy in the Indonesian city of Sumatra. He boards a longship with his friend Ted, and they set forth on their excellent adventure.

1755 AD: Theatres are rush built in Castaway, Mt Isa (why did someone use a real name?), and Bob's Inpenetrable Fortress (or whatever it's called) to quell restleness. Once again Rooboy decides the Australians should work 14 hour days, and also reduces rations.

1760 AD: Meet some chick named Eleonore D'Aquitane. Apparently, she is the leader of the rather weak French. However, as she is a good lookin' bird, Rooboy decides to sign a peace treaty with her.

1765 AD: Being such a charasmatic diplomat, Rooboy invites the Native American leader to Bob's Island Cottage to discuss a possible peace treaty. Even though Rooboy forgets his name, a treaty is signed.

1770 AD: Some pommy named Cook lands near New South Jonnyopolis, thinking this a great site to someday build a colony.

1775 AD: Rooville is renamed Roo Town for no obvious reason.

1780 AD: A new brewery, the world's largest, is built in Snorf. Snorf Bitter becomes Australia's favourite drop, and is soon on tap in every pub throughout the empire.

1785 AD: Iratland & Apolyton build Mills to boost production.

1790 AD: A second Carrack, the HMAS "Many Trophies" is commissioned in Young.

1795 AD: Finally Bill arrives in Sumatra, setting up an embassy with bronze Kangaroo and Wombat statues at the gates.

Economic analysts now believe the strongest economy in the world belongs to Australia, Treasurer Big Kev is excited by this news. However, science and military advisors are much more pessimistic as to Australia's standing.

1800 AD: A cease-fire is signed with the Mexicans, after 2 of their cavalry are humiliated by two aussie pikemen outside of Apolyton. Oh ****e, I shouldn't have done this, but they would have taken the city if I hadn't intervened. We had ballista towers but no city walls, what's the story there?

Rooboy decides to quit politics and enter the Tour De France. He places third in the one and only stage from Toulouse to Paris.

I've been out of things for a while, but have now read the posts on this thread and am wondering whether I can join in and have a turn or two before the AIs wipe out this brave race?

I think you'll find that the AI's are in more danger of being wiped out than this "brave race" of ours...

But anyway Chris, I just wanted to remind you to install the patch for the game if you haven't already done so, otherwise when you get the file your game won't recognize it.

Good luck in your turn.

Can't figure out whether thats a statue of me, or a national symbol

That was very funny rooboy

[Skeeve]

Yeah, that was good. But where was Ted??

I thought they were having an Excellent Adventure.

[Pilfur]

Strike me please

Please strike me from the player list. I've passed the file on. I can't play SG3 anymore due to my computer being too slow. It used to take too long between turns, now it simply locks up.

Thanks Skeeve,

Have the activision patch installed, and await the file a few turns from now.

Cheers

I imagine the gamespeed will slow down considerably as we move on. However, maybe things will get faster if we conquer a few civs.

Good luck.
