FG: Society V: "8 is not Enough"

[Spaced Cowboy]

Hey, I've got all the orders. Processing, but today is a busy one for me, hopefully will get it by the end.

As far as the rules are concerned, that is up to the next GM (named Dark Cloud?) What?? :lol

[DarkCloud]

So am I the next GM?

[DarkCloud]

If I am going to rule, then just wondering, how do you work the map?

[:) Smiley]

In MS Paint.

[DarkCloud]

thanks... that's what I suspected...

[civman2000]

Well...?

[DarkCloud]

um... any other volunteers to be GM... just making certain...?

(I'm willing to do it... but just making certain...)

[Spaced Cowboy]

Sorry, did not get the turn done on Fri. Should be done on Monday...I hope.

[DarkCloud]

ok. good luck!

Turn 11: Fade to black part 2; Sparrow meets his maker. Jonny says, "What about me?" Me says, "Oh yeah, you too!"

NOTE: I am not rounding up fractional gold due to goverment bonuses. Please plan accordingly *Denotes governmental change.

Wonder Building
Dark Cloud constructs O-rings (wonder #15) in A1. Cost overages must have been extreme, as he blew through 6000 gold to complete it.
Muxec constructs a Field Degenerator (wonder #16) in C3 by outpacing the competition's spending and dropping 1500 on it.
*Note: Quite a few players tried to build wonders, I'm just letting you know how far off you were.

Espionage
Muxec uses 1 spy to protect his production.
Whoha keeps two spies at home defending military production.
Smiley keeps a spy at home defending military production.
Vlad Antlerkov keeps 1 spy at home defending his army production.
Vlad Antlerkov sends another spy a Jonny's spy
Jonny keeps a spy at home defending his military production.
Dark Cloud sends one spy to bugger Jonny's military production and the other spy stays at home to defend his army production.

**Espionage end game:
Jonny loses monies that were spent on military production (armies, sdi, and nukes).

City building
Ha-ha!

Gifts
Whoha tries to show Dark Cloud and Vald Antlerkov the ways of The Flux Capacitor (tech 16), but only Dark Cloud is able to learn this (rules state only one other alliance may recieve aid).
Smiley drops off 3000 gold on Dark Cloud's doorstep and says, "Happy birthday!" Dark Cloud says, "It's not my birthday?!" Smiley say, "Like, whatever!"
Vlad Antlerkov stops and gives 2000 gold to Dark Cloud muttering something about his birthday. Dark Cloud just takes the cash this time.
Dark Cloud gives Vlad 100 armies and shows him the ways of Fusion Power (tech 15). Vlad says, "Wow, and it's not even my birthday."

Nukes!
Place blast goggles over your eyes. I repeat: Place blast goggles over your eyes. This is not pretty!
Muxec builds 6 nukes and sends two at Sparrowhawk's cities in F12 and G12.
Whoha builds 30 freaking nukes and sends fooking 25 of them at Sparrowhawk; pretty much leaving a black hole where Sparrowhawk once lived.
Jonny builds 4 nukes, but they do not seem to work, so he has to scrap them (SPY).
Dark Cloud builds 13 nukes and sends 4 of them to A9, 4 to A11, and 4 to B9.

Battles
Smiley prepares for the final assault on Sparrowhawk. He sends his entire army over the border. They stop halfway as they notice a freaking bumload of nukes sailing high above their heads.
They wait, do a quick scan, and turn back since the target was completely obliverated.

Me thinks that Vlad has grown tired of Jonny attacking him constantly so he decides to go on the offensive. Vlad sends his entire army (826 tech 15) to face Jonny's defenders (310 tech 15).
Vlad's army scores a overwhelming victory and takes all of Jonny's cities. He loses 21 armies in the process.

Governments:
Pretty lame at this point since everyone is a republic. Sparrowhawk tried to change this turn, but alas, for naught.

Wonders:
Vlad Anterkov (Jonny) (Vlad Anterkov) (Gambecube64) - G11 - Tower of Babel.
Smiley - K2 - Colosseum. - Obsolete
Vlad Antlerkov - K11 - Trojan Horse.
Vlad Anterkov (Gamecube64) - G10 - Acropolis.

Sparrowhawk (Dark Cloud) - F6 - Trans-Siberian Railroad. - NUKED
Whoha (Sparrowhawk) - A7 - National Rifle Association.
Whoha (Sparrowhawk) - B7 - Mafia.
Vlad Anterkov (Jonny) - B11 - University of California.
Vlad Anterkov (Jonny) - A12 - NASCAR.
Vlad Anterkov (Jonny) - A10 - The KGB. - Obsolete
Vlad Anterkov (Jonny) - C12 - The Majestic-12 Program.
Vlad Anterkov (Jonny) - C10 - Galactic Overlord.
Dark Cloud - A1 - O-rings (wonder #15).
Muxec - C3 - Field Degenerator (wonder #16).

Tech prices:
The Flux Capacitor (tech 16) is now 1579 gold.

Nano Diodes (tech 18) is still 10336 gold.
Subline Warp fields (tech 19) is still 16724 gold.
Tunneling Gamma Quarks (tech 20) is still 27060 gold.

Wars
None

Misc.

Those who build wonders 15 and 16 can at anytime designate another player's SS part to be destroyed. I will then mark the wonder as obsolete. You must wait until after the wonder is built, you cannot use it one the same turn as you build it.

I've added a column to the chart that should the amount of SS parts that are built. Reminder 4 components are needed to win. Tech 15+'s wonders can be built and cost tech level squared. They can be used to ruin one of your opponents already built SS parts.

Holy Deleted Expletive!!

Well done all (Whoha especially....25 nukes!! OMG!!).

I look forward to next game with anticipation.

None

Peace on earth!

[Sparrowhawk]

But for how long?

It seems that the Unholy Alliance was working together to defeat Jonny and I, but now that we are gone...how long can the alliance hold together?

I suspect that another Spaceship being built will be destroyed before this game is over. And Vlad and his many Wonders cannot be expected to remain at peace for long.

Whoha's Most Evil Empire (TM) seems poised for more war (or more Nukes at least)

Peace will not reign supreme so sayeth the spectre of Sparrowhawk

I concur. In destroying us you only created 2 more superpowers to take our places: Smiley and Vlad. Too bad for the rest of you.

Hmmm, and there's so many nukes flying around this world... I wonder if the roaches will ever win a game of Society...

[:) Smiley]

Unlikely, Vlad would rquire over 130 nukes to destroy...
