Day 1: Now's THAT'S what I call a pre-emptive strike!
Once upon a time, ICS was a popular strategy for the first few turns. But, it seems as if those days are long gone, with only three rulers opting to build cities: Kassiopeia built Lubenter, Sparrowhawk built Manitoba, and Exodus Pheoni built Emma.
As it turns out, the citizens of those new cities would get to enjoy the bright lights and the amazing sounds of a full fledged nuclear war, as 3 players launched nuclear salvos. Smiley launched two nukes at Doc, leaving him with one City, and nothing else. But as those nukes were flying towards Doc, he himself launched two nukes, which destroyed two cities belonging to Skanky. As Skanky fled towards his last remaining city, 2 more nukes from Atragon destroyed it as well. The project that Skanky had been working on was of no help in defending against the onslaught from Atragon and Doc.
Skanky now lives in exile in a luxurious home on the beaches of Aruba.
Kuciwalker, Spaced Cowboy, Hercules, the Shogun, and Lord Nuclear were all working on evil secret projects.
11 players now remain, vying for total domination.

Sorry Skanky, in light of your failure to negotiate I assumed you were continuing your aggression against me. Opening the lines of communication would help.
Especially given that there is a new public enemy number 1.

I feel really bad, but you did lead me to believe I had to crush you first turn to stay alive myself.

Day 2: The Rumors Of ICS's Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Indeed, the tried-and-true ICS strategy is back in style, as no less than 8 rulers built cities:
Kassiopeia built Approbatur.
Shogun Gunner built Fukiya.
Spaced Cowboy built Fort Worth.
Sparrowhawk built Ontario.
Hercules built Fawn.
Exodus built Fox5.
Kuciwalker built .... .
Atragon also built Delta, and just at the perfect time too, as it was promptly destroyed along with two of Atragon's other cities, thanks to a 3-pack of nukes, just arrived from Lord Nuclear. Atragon's new city had not died in vain, however, for it allowed him to survive to see another day.
Meanwhile, Smiley apparently had not-so-smilley thoughts in his mind when he decided to finish off the job that he had started by launching two more nukes at DrSpike. Unfortunately for Smiley, the wise Doctor decided to bunker this turn. Will his bunkering only delay his eventual demise, or will it be the basis for a great comeback? Only time will tell...

Jonny, Atragon should be dead. You have to process the nukes before the building of the cities, or else building a city would make sure you never died.

No, I'm almost certain that the precedent is to process city builds first, and then nukes.
