We'll see what happens. Hopefully he's not AWOL and will log in soon. I'm off to bed for the night though.

Turn rolled and Brick did play. I can't log in again till I'm off work so if you can log in and take the 20% battle before me--do it. We don't want him to move the second warrior and worker into the capital!

Ok so Brick double-moved so he got his worker to be elsewhere (safely south of the city) and he had both warriors in the city. Sigh. Not much we can do about that. Pictures coming shortly.

Alright I logged in and we had a cease fire option:

Thanks to the absurdities of MP diplo, we cannot take a look around before deciding on that offer. So I closed the window and I was greeted with another offer - this time of the 10-turn peace treaty. Did the same thing. I saw Brick moved about an hour before I got back to my computer (banghead) so I saw what I expected:

[Image: t24_situation.JPG]

Worst possible thing to see. This likely means his warrior and worker sat on the forest 1N of farmed corn and then he double-moved by scurrying the worker south and the warrior into the city. Oh well. With his weird schedule I don't really suspect at all it was in bad faith, but it's still annoying and we still reserve the right to be annoyed wink. Seriously, if we would've gotten in first we could've gone with either a 20% roll on the cap or a slightly better roll on a warrior + worker. Anyways, so we mulled over peace or moving on. Decided to move:

[Image: t24_move.JPG]

Well I want to slow him down so we're going to remain at war for the moment. Really, I'd like to chase his worker and prevent him from chopping for awhile. It should be noted he's working the plains forest hill 0/3/0 rather than the farmed corn 5/0/0. So he's max hammer-ing out a warrior? Seems like a weird decision honestly. So we'll have to be alert about that. I sure hope he doesn't go for archery or something lame like that. We could deal with it easily (we have copper), but it'd just be annoying.

Our main thing is we'd like to know if he has copper. We'll see. Settler started last turn:

Working the improved pigs now for a cool 6/0/0. Moved settler onto the forest 3 of the capital - chopping will start next turn. I chose that forest as it allows us to mine the copper if we want next - gives us more options. Can't hook it though as we don't have Wheel quite yet.

Yeah this is a problem because it creates conflicting goals. I'm often guilty of not following this advice, but i think it's best to do one thing really well instead of 2 poorly. So we should either switch tech paths to get wheel sooner and then hurt Brick OR offer peace and stick with the Oracle->MC plan. I hate to say it, b/c my emotions tell me to choke Brick but I don't think it's the right plan. We've already slowed him down. Let's finish him later.

(I reserve the right to change my mind again at any point)

I think you're right. I'm going to give it a few hours and we can revisit this tonight. I won't be around much tonight (and I'll go back to being unable to login hardly ever) but you can always reach me pretty quickly via email.

Ok yeah let's offer peace and keep on our tight oracle path.
