	Leadership absence Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

We are coming up to a period when I will be away a lot. Unless the game speed picks up suddenly not a lot of turns will occur while I am away, but someone needs to be prepared to play. I do not expect to have internet access during these periods.

May 28th to 31st - I will be leaving Friday evening for a weekend of dog activites and returning late Monday.

June 2nd to June 9th - I will be leaving about noon on Wednesday for a trip to Iowa for a national dog event. The plan is to return sometime on the 9th.

June 16th to 19th - I will be leaving Wednesday afternoon and returning Saturday afternoon. The plan is to get married in Las Vegas.

Congrats!

I'd volunteer, but I'd first like to give Trip a chance to step up. I know that he was interested at one point in running things and is fairly good at advanced city planning ... better than me at least.

Yeah, Trip might want a shot at this.

I'd be willing to take over, but I too may have to depart quickly (or may not be around, so having a backup turnplayer would be a good idea). I may or may not be moving to Baltimore for a new job and my internet availability will be in question. That having been said, if the time and internet access is available I'm certainly willing to give it a shot with some help.

My guess is only two or three turns will occur while I am away. I can post some plans for those turns before I leave.

What kind of job in Baltimore Trip? Are you almost finished with college?

Regarding some planning -

I can get more involved in things now that I have more time. I believe we need to start looking into building our Forbidden Palace as soon as possible, along with jumping our Palace later on.

I'm thinking of starting a new thread on what our priorities should be in the near (and longer-term) future.

Technically I have 3 semesters left, but I can forgo those in the face of greater opportunity.

The job I'm looking for is a QA position with one of Firaxis' sister companies. If things pan out, I'm hoping for a position with Firaxis, but that's up in the air still. Right now what I'm looking at is just a summer position, but there are ways of changing plans.

It looks like the next turn will come around when I am out this weekend. I will post orders for the turn just in case. I will be leaving sometime this afternoon and returning Monday night.

I don't see a FR Monkey thread.

In the PTWDG2 form Monkey has asked for offers to trade techs to them. We should put together one or more offers. Unless Tab has something against this we should try to get at least a little money out of this instead of it all going to the other teams.

I played the 150 BC turn. I am getting ready to leave for my trip. The plan is to return sometime on the 9th. One turn should come around while I am away, maybe two, unless things start hopping around here.

Here are some turn orders while I am away:

Worker NW of Suntanland should move NW, N, N to the jungle E of Paradise. Start clearing the jungle.
Worker on hill just roaded next to HH should start mining it.
Worker N of Disneyland should move SE to road and irrigate that plains tile.

When HH finishes the hoplite set to FP.
Suntanland finishes marketplace, set to settler.
Same with Funky Town.
Las Vegas finishes granary, set to settler.
Same with Friendship City.

Gary should move NE, N up the mountains towards the barb camp.
Chong should move into Peace Pipes and fortify.
Cheech should attack the barb warrior or head towards teh barb camp. The hoplite should escort to protect Cheech from horsemen.
The horsemen in the south should pair up and head for barb hunting positions in the mountains to wait for camps to appear.

Remember to check the cities after each turn to make sure they will not go into disorder and look for work location adjustments.
Suntanland can grow to size 5 because of its temple, other can only go to size 4 with needing attention.
Sunshinia and Las Vegas are the ones that will grow next.

Make sure to have one scientist )with science slider at 0%) or have science slider at 10% to get the minimum research rate.

Edit: The worker chopping the forest next to LV will be finished in a couple of turns. When LV starts a settler the city should be setup to produce 5 net shields per turn so it will fit very nicely with the 10 shields from the forest. After chopping the worker should irrigate then road the tile.

I am back and busy. Will take a bit to go over things. Looks like it has been quiet.

On Wednesday we leave for Las Vegas for the wedding. Will be gone a few days. After I get back I will be around except for some weekends doing dog events.

Sorry not to be around much, but who's in charge? Seems there are planning conflicts.

The save arrived and it was addressed to Trip. I hope that Trip will continue to play the saves. Our tradition is to handover control of the save every 20 turns, but we were so happy with HarryH that we just let him keep the job indefinately.

However, let's give Trip his time in the sun before handing it over to another happy hippie.
