atawa -- Must change government every four years (oedo year) 
Straybow -- Sacrifice a builder (settler or engineer) with each happiness improvement, and a builder per camel for each happiness wonder 
rjmatsleepers -- Move the capitol with every government change 
Jrabbit -- MUST ignore (and document) one of the other rules during the player set of turns.
La Fayette -- units with move=1 move vert/horizontally, units with move = 2 or 3 on the diagonal 
BobSmurf42 -- Cycle through the governments when changing
atomant -- Build units with a defensive attitude until Leadership (no Horse, Cat, Char, Ele, Knight, and Cruc, (Cannons delayed))
15 Turns for first round & then 10 each for second round, & then 8 each for third round (if we can keep this going for that long). |
Looks like we're at 10 turns apiece, with STYOM next, followed by ATAWA.
(btw, this was found back on Page 6 of 11)

I presume that now we have discovered Monarchy we have to cycle backwards and forward between Monarchy and Despotism every 4 years. Is there a penalty for forgetting to do it? (Or breaking any of the other rules for that matter.)
BTW, my rule was changed to having a palace under construction at all times (to fit better with Atawa's continuous revolution rule).

That didn't take long at all, what with us being PATHETIC 
STYOM, chief fool to King Soupy, arises through the bureaucracy to guide our silly nation.
420: Decides to ignore atawa's rule, thereby complying with rjm, Jrabbit, and BobSmurf's rules as well 
No point in changing tax rates, so they are left at 3.0.7.
St. Augustine rates us Hopeless in Wealth. Ooh, yeah. 
440: Not much. We assume the marketplace is being built in Bozo to switch to a library later. We seem to be building a LOT of marketplaces, despite not having the arrows to justify them, for the most part. This is, i expect, an attempt to avoid the human sacrifice rule
French start Copernicus!
460: Little happens.
480-500: Ditto.
520: Marketplace in Wabbit. Writing discovered. Researching... Bridge Building! Road discovered by Trireme at 32,50. Libraries rushed in Bozo and Leiden, to reduce our cash holdings.
540: Avignon (French) located.
Zulus discover Philosophy.  Our tech rate is down to 7 turns.
560: Meet French, gift 50 g and Monarchy for alliance. Get Literacy in return  Science=8 turns.
580: Nada. French are shown as uncooperative on Foreign ministry screen, and I don't want to lose the alliance yet.
600: New Chuckles founded, off a Trireme.
620: Much black clicking done with no safe journeys located. *scratches head, wondering how our Trireme made the 4-turn trip to France*
STYOM retires again... passing the torch to the fool-in-waiting

Silly Rabbit Rule --
Each player, exactly once per turnset, must ignore exactly one Silly Rule for exactly one turn. Violation must be noted in turnlog. |
This is the original Jrabbit rule - slightly different from the way it was quoted in the summary. So I think Jrabbit's rule has been broken (which is slightly ironic since he also broke one of the rules).
The gods demand a joke from each of them.

OK, OK 
(Slightly off-colour joke follows)
A rather confident man walks into a bar, and sits down at the bar next to a very attractive woman.
After a minute or two, she notices that he's continually glancing at his watch. "Is your date running late, or something?" she asks him.
"No," he answers, "this is actually a new watch, the latest thing - it communicates with me via alpha waves."
"Oh really," the woman asks, "what is it telling you now?"
He looks at her and says, "Well, it's telling me that you aren't wearing any panties..."
She laughs and says, "Well, your watch is wrong, because I AM wearing panties!"
The man looks annoyed and starts to tap at the watch face with his finger, saying, "Damn thing must be an hour fast."

(Rate R for promoting alcohol and tobacco products)
A man is stranded on a remote Pacific island, surviving on coconuts, bananas, and fish. During his near-constant vigil in search of help, he spots something moving in the water, coming his way. Suddenly, out of the surf rises a beautiful woman in a wetsuit with full scuba gear.
She approaches him with a sly smile on her face, removes her tanks and mask, and says, "Tell me, sailor, how long has it been since you've had a drink?"
"As long as I've been here, over a year!" he replies.
The woman unzips a compartment of her wetsuit, producing a flask. "Well, I happen to have some fine aged cognac with me. Here you go," she says, and hands it to him. He takes a long pull and hands it back.
"Wow! That was fantastic!" he says.
"Do you smoke?" she asks.
"I used to but it's been over a year now," says the man. "I'd do anything for a cigarette."
Smiling slyly, the woman unzips another pocket of her wetsuit, producing a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. She hands them over and says, "Enjoy," watching with obvious delight as the bearded, unkempt castaway savors each puff.
By the time he finishes, the man is dreamy-eyed. "That was fantastic!" he says. "You can't possibly know what this means to me."
"Oh, but I think I do," replies the woman. "But we're not done yet. Tell me, when was the last time you played around?" she asks with a knowing grin, and begins to pull down the large, main zipper on the front of her wetsuit.
"Oh, sweet Jesus!" the castaway fairly shouts. "Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there, too!!"
