Turns out I forgot a couple things, and some more have been added as the turn is played:
dtay's continuing his rampage, taking two cities from pindicator, but that's not the only war action so far this turn. TBS took a city from dazedroyalty (and confused my C&D efforts, since TBS logs in for hours at a time ), and we're only halfway through the turn.
One point I forgot to bring up is that I need to figure out what to do with all my Great People. The generals can be settled in the HE city once the HE is actually built (or I start emergency drafting and decide I don't want another GG unit), but the merchant I'm less sure about. Everything else being equal, I'd rather use it for gold then bulb a tech, but I don't know where I'd rather put it--I know you get better rewards from bigger cities, but what is the difference between, say, a foreign capital (probably GermanJojo's) and the size 1 cities of plako on my border)?
plako built another city, probably in the space I noticed during my scouting.
Well, apparently making detailed reports isn't worth it, since even my teammate isn't around to comment on stuff
I know it was a weekend, but still, it makes me less likely to report on this turn, for example
Anyway, pictures are here, not much has changed--I refounded Jeff, finish Banking this turn, hopefully xenu doesn't attack (he has a naval stack in the south now too--when did he get the chance to build all these naval units?) and we can make it to draft Rifles
Sorry I had a debate tournament this weekend that took up both Friday and Saturday and today I had to do homework and stuff. I think the best we can do with the GM is a bulb, if not save it for a GA cause I don't think Plako would be very happy if he saw us running a GM around in his territory to get a mission cause I think their is already border tension. I don't think muskets are going to be very good unless we're defending inside cities so we need to have enough cat's that we can get decent odds when we attack outside of cities with muskets. Have you considered Merc yet? Or is the lack of TR's not making merc good enough? Anyways once we get those tile boosting techs we should be in a better shape. How many cities did we exactly gain from the Xenu war?

Don't worry, I was mostly kidding--though that doesn't let the lurkers off the hook
I don't like bulbing non-Scientists, a Golden Age is probably the best plan for it--plako was never a candidate for the mission, instead it was going to be GJ, but that isn't happening since the seas are so rough.
I have the domestic advisor as one of the screenshots, so that can check TR's--I think the average TR is about 6 commerce, if that helps your calculations. The biggest problem is that I don't think it's worth the turn of anarchy.
We only gained 2 cities from xenu unfortunately, SS and Krabbe. We didn't even make the room for the "Maybe C" city we were planning
Muskets are fine if we're only defending against Knights--if we're attacking, it's probably going to be against Skirmishers and Axes
Finally, a new turn--pics are here for now, but I think I want to write something up tomorrow--there's some interesting things going on
(and if I don't write anything, the pics are up )
Let's try again--pics are here, we'll see if I get a report done (though since I'm joining PB23, there might not be as much time). Still not many changes though
So i just came back from a cabin that had no wifi or signal. For some reason I can't zoom in on the pictures you posted in the dropbox. However I don't see anything particularly wrong.

If you want them full-size, you can click view original from the "..." in the lower-right hand corner, and that you should be able to see original size. I don't think there's much important though--any thoughts on whether we should attack HAK or not? Hopefully plako leaves us alone long enough to get to Rifling, though I unfortunately doubt it--maybe Nationhood scares him off? He's researching Nationalism, so that lessens our lead--though it's not on the path to Rifling (though Musketeers might be better to draft in RBmod).
Warning--I explode in rage in the spoiler--I think I'm more calm now, but I'm not deleting it since I think I need to get this off my chest and in the open, since I've been holding it in since I drove xenu off my landmass (and what should have been the end of the war). If you don't want to go down that road, the pictures are here, and you can clearly guess what broke me.
I officially hate this game now--I clearly don't care enough, seeing as how I let one of the GG's get captured by xenu (who just won't go away--YOU CAN'T WIN THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! QUIT ****ING KINGMAKING!!!!! YOU BURNED YOUR CHANCE TO WIN WHEN YOU WASTED TOO MANY RESOURCES BUILDING SUPPORT FOR THAT STUPID CITY, AND NOW IT JUST MEANS YOU GET TO PUSH ENTER FOR 100 MORE TURNS AND WASTE EVERYONE'S TIME!! I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO ATTACK YOU--I'M GETTING PUNISHED BECAUSE OF HORRIBLE MAP DESIGN WITH MULTIPLE PENINSULAS TO GET STUCK ON! YOU KNOW AS MUCH AS I DO THAT PLAKO WOULD HAVE DEVOURED YOU BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WASTE HIS TIME WITH FIVE MILLION WORTHLESS WATER UNITS! THE ONLY REASON I EVEN BOTHERED JOINING OXYBAII IS THAT I LIKE THIS GAME AND WANTED TO SEE IT FINISH--EVEN THEN I SHOULD HAVE REALIZED THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH A CHANCE TO WIN ARE DTAY, BGN, FINHARRY, AND KRILL/NOVICE! BECAUSE OF YOU DECIDING TO GO AGAINST ME AND NOT PLAKO (WHO I REMIND YOU TOOK THREE-FOURTHS OF YOUR TERRITORY AT LEAST, AS WELL AS STARTED THE CONFLICT) I HAVE TO STAY IN FEAR FOR EVERY CITY WHILE I WAIT TO GET REPLACEABLE PARTS, THEN INVADED BY PLAKO (SINCE THAT WILL HAPPEN, CALLING IT NOW), AND SINCE I HAVE TO WASTE TROOPS GUARDING AGAINST YOUR WORTHLESS UNITS I'M SURE TO LOSE ALL MY CITIES, UNTIL I BECOME AS BACKWARDS AS YOU CURRENTLY ARE (AND YET HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING ONWARDS, SINCE NOT DEFENDING PERFECTLY GETS YOU EXILED FROM THIS COMMUNITY, AND QUITTING HOPELESS POSITIONS IS EVEN WORSE) AND WASTE MY TIME...
Defending perfectly earns respect. Failing to do so losses respect. But getting exciled? No. And you coming in to help out an obviously flagging civ to keep a huge game going to earn a bunch of respect too. Take heart, and kill them all.
(Maybe baii can share the load during Christmas break?)
), and we're only halfway through the turn.
