[SPOILERS] Scooticator and Pindooter give a sporting try

[scooter]

What are Orioles and Tigers up to?

Yes we seriously spent time this afternoon discussing this, thinking this was a comment implying Nakor is coming at us . Anyway, I don't think it is for a variety of reasons, and it's probably not really affecting anything, but it DID give us both a serious case of paranoia. I think we're both a bit twitchy though after PB8, where our paranoia was often proven right as literally everyone even vaguely nearby us decided to take shots at us at various points during the game. That game got so bad in terms of people attacking us all the time that I remember DREAMING about it once.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

I've spent so long thinking about a turn before that it was on my mind as I went to sleep and I remember playing a turn in my dreams. That's when you know it's time to give it up and go do something else for a while.

[Zed-F]

Sorry guys, no paranoia ramping intended. I just wanted to see when Tigers would be done the market and what Orioles was doing after the library build.

I have no knowledge of whether anyone might be attacking and if I did, I wouldn't be hinting anything to that effect. That wouldn't be cricket.

I didn't ask for an overview because you guys did one 3 turns ago and I could figure out what most of your other cities were doing. Nevertheless, would that be the best way to get updated general info without causing paranoia in this sort of situation? Seems like a tad overkill to ask for one 3 turns after one has been done...

Or, I guess I could practice my patience in silence and hope it'll be rewarded.

A sequel for this was announced recently. Finally.

Finally! Hopefully it's better than Club Dread...

Don't feel too bad, Zed. Scooter can confirm that i freak out about being attacked every ten turns or so, i just usually bother him about it out of thread

[Krill]

You know that level of paranoia isn't healthy.

[Ceiliazul]

You know that level of paranoia isn't healthy.

There's no such thing as an ex-Zulu.

[Krill]

Now you tell me.

On topic, but not quite. Since PB5, have you guys noticed any increase in your anxiety, or how much you think about what others are going to do to you in game?

[pindicator]

Yes. I think it's fair to say I have exponentially increased my anxiety level after pb5 and pb8

[NobleHelium]

Sue Krill, it's all his fault.

Turn 114

Not sure what's going to happen with that trade offer. That is not a valid offer when the parties are at war. I assume he'll receive an empty trade offer and be befuddled for a while.

We found out the answer to this quandry!



Since our galley is stuck for 10 turns I decided to head north and see if there's another passageway. We have plenty of tiles we can cover before we get to declare war again. But we want to head south to make contact with Fintourist.

At least we got some nice maps of dtay's land



Take a look at that western-most city. But all those cities look like good placements, and dtay definitely looks like a contender the more we see of him. 14 cities now.

Time for us to catch up in the city count:





If you don't like the names, you gotta give me options before we settle cities
Here's your chance to get ahead of this settler:



Although there is some debate about where we settle later on...



While I was in game, WilliamLP did this:



Demos!



And power had me freaking out for a second until I realized that was mackoti-green and not commodore-green
