According to the list (page 6 of this thread), there is El Civ playing after Hydey and before you, but it might be a good idea to contact him and know whether he is willing to play this turn (since so many of us seem to be on holyday or facing computer problems ).

(La Fayette, wondering whether computers need holydays)

That's right, El Civ is before me, although as I recall he was having problems with the PC crashing.

Also, the Gits said they'd be back around the 18th IIRC...

So, I remain confused. Just somebody tell me when it's my turn

I have sent several messages to the Gits and got no reply . Certainly something happened, but what?
I suggest that Hydey plays today and you play after him, to keep the game going and the High Priestess happy.

OK, I have the save. Since El Civ hasn't posted to say his PC is working again, I will play within the next 48 hours (hopefully this isn't a monster ).

(if you and I play too many turns, we shall launch before any of the others wakes up, and that would be a pity ).

1850, and the money train has arrived. Next stop: The stars.

1850: With our huge treasury, we can afford some rush buying. But alas, we may not need any. Factories seem like a good idea, but we can probably rushbuild a fast spaceship without them.

We're doing all sorts of nonsensical things like improving farmland around cities which don't even have aqueducts yet. STYOM recognizes this but continues with only one thought in mind... keep those caravans on schedule!

Hey, everyone is attacking us? Why do they hate us so badly tha... oh, right, MGE

1851: Robotics>Space Flight. Indiscriminate rushbuying. Were he not forbidden to drink by church law and prone to seasickness, STYOM would be spending like a drunken sailor. 9 Freights delivered to Alexandrie. Taxes set to 0, luxuries to 80.

1852: Space Flight>Plastics. 6 Freights delivered to Alexandrie.

1853: Apollo Program in Salamis. Plastics>Atomic Theory (we are a long way from Superconductor ) 6 Freights delivered to Pi-Ramesses.

Babylonians steal Plastics

1854: Peace with Chinese. 8 Freights delivered to Alexandrie.

1855: Atomic Theory>Nuclear Fission. Stonehenge celebrates. 8 Freights delivered to Alexandrie; science rate adjusted to 0.6.4 to ensure an advance next turn.

1856: Nuclear Fission>Nuclear Power.
Chinese incursion near Lutefisk is crushed easily.

STYOM retires early... eager to begin non denominational worship at the local taverns

**********
Well, some minor screwups, but work on our space program proceeds apace. I should have avoided Space Flight/Plastics until we had more of the SuperConductor prerequisites - early Apollo just gives the AI more time to steal the space techs. On the other hand, it might be fun to actually have to crush some AIs who manage to launch

Also, most of our decent trade cities have few commodities left to supply - probably I should have met some of their demanded commodity needs, but it was too tempting to keep the Freights going to Egypt. Absolute worst payoff for Freight in my turns (delivered to Egypt) was about 120g.

Anyhoo, those are things for my successor to worry about Of course, there's a nice 2-wide shipchain set up (easy to spot) and lots of Transports in Stonehenge to keep the chain turning.

I am next on the list. But, reading you, STYOM, I understand that, if I play, I shall be the early launcher once more.
Therefore, I skip my turn and leave the honour to Vlad, if he feels like it .

Already played 3 (actually 2 1/2) turns, will get up to 1863 by the time I'm done.

We've already got Nuclear Power and a half-built ship, and we're almost to The Alan Parsons Project... er, I mean the Laser.

I have to finish up some Calculus work (so I can get into AP Calculus), then I'll play some more. Report on the reign of Downpriest Jurradu should be up in a few hours.

1856-- Downpriest Jurradu becomes leader of the Zealots. He starts by rushing spaceship parts (and some aqueducts and factories) in many of our cities.

1857-- Z.S.S. Jezebel now has 22 structural components, 1 engine, 2 fuel tanks, and no modules. Freighter deliveries to Alexandrie net around 2000 gold.

1858-- Peace treaties signed with Russkies and Babylonians. More rushing. More caravan deliveries. Nuclear Power next turn.

1859-- Nuclear Power discovered. Now working on "The Alan Parsons Project" so we can build "la-sers". Added 3 structural parts, three engines, and two fuel tanks to the ship. Treaty signed with Greeks. Another round of freights delivered. Sighted a Russian cruiser in the lake next to Kiev and a Chinese FRIGATE near Cthulhugorsk.

1860-- Alan Parsons Project completed. Well, let's research Superconductor...

what? Can't research Superconductor? AAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!

*kills advisor* OK, let's do Combined Arms, then.

Greeks declare war on us by catapult-attacking Nirik.

Most of our cities have already sent off all of their commodities, leaving nothing but food to trade (which is useless here).

1861: Russia and China declare war on each other. Got Fundamentalism from the Chinese. Russians start building their ship with 1 structural .

1862: Babylonians declare war on us by sending a destroyer at Soldier Temple. Chinese sneak-attack Cthulhugorsk! Russians build 2 more structurals.

I know I said I was going to play until 1863, but I got bored. There's a bunch of freights in Salamis (next to Egypt), and CA should be discovered next turn. The ship is at 27/5/5/0/0/0 (our big production cities are itching to build the modules).

I hope everything is ok. No posts for SGs since the 2nd.

Oh, and nice work VA

I propose we build a big honkin' ship for the greater glory of whoever it is we worship. Dionysus, for example. And if any AIs get close to launching a faster ship, we rush MP and nuke the infidels before overrunning them... I mean, we are still a fundamentalist govt for cryin' out loud...

It could at least make the last stages of the game somewhat interesting...

Welcome back, SG(2)... and [1] when he joins you...

Thanks for the kudo, except that I'd only consider it 4 techs in 6 turns. The first tech arrived due to Hydey's trading in his last turn, and VA didn't get a tech his first turn because I didn't manage to deliver enough 'vans in my last.

Having got that out of the way... take a look at our humungous ship chain! After having played this game, I will be setting my science to 0 in my next game when it gets to the freight/transports point, regardless of government. If one can get 2 techs/3 turns in fundy, imagine the trade bonuses in democracy - with the extra trade, and ability to quickly supersize a city...
