[SPOILERS] scooter, pindicator, and Huayna Capac try some fast Zulu cuisine

[pindicator]

I think we have to move our galleons to port at Jamba Juice. And hope we can defend being forked along our entire coastline until Chemistry comes in.

Still depressed about our position but that may also have to do with me being an idiot towards the cute runner that was trying to talk with me yesterday.

Yep, no other choice I don't think.

I honestly don't have the energy to play this out. I've been putting my best effort into a losing game for months; at this point it feels like it's just time to unplug the damn life support. We'll see, though; I'll sleep on it and talk to scooter. But Alt+Q really is ironically tempting.

Yep, this is sort of where I am, which is why I took the little break over the last week or so. I guess I keep blindly hoping that slowcheetah/plako will wise up and take advantage of the fact that Commodore's western core is probably wide open right now with all his stuff over by us, but I don't think it's going to happen.


Thanks for the nice words Gaspar and Oxyphen. The game has been really up and down, but it's made for a fun story and crazy challenge - glad it's been enjoyable to watch. You'll have to forgive us if the game comes crashing down in the next dozen turns, because it seems pretty likely that our time to live is not that long.

Considering that we set the RB record for "latest turn with 0 land points" by about 120t, getting crushed by people only half a military edge ahead of us isn't too shabby.

[pindicator]

You know, if those galleons aren't fully loaded we might be able to hold this off long enough to whip out frigates...

Edit: Dang it, i'm starting to chase that distant gleam of Hope again, aren't I?

[pindicator]

So I'm sitting here in game, knowing that scooter doesn't usually stay up any longer than this. But every time I've played the turn before thinking "Oh, scooter's gone to bed" -- everytime I've done that, scooter logs onto gchat just moments after I end turn.

Hi. Answer your chat yo.

[pindicator]

This turn I name the "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries" turn

pindicator:
Kill scooter & pindicator - it'll be simple

scooter:
people have been trying all game but WE'LL BE THE ONES TO FINALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN

pindicator:
lol
i'm still waiting for serdoa
obviously he's the lazy one

scooter:
yeah seriously serdoa get with the program
you're supposed to attack zulu
not quietly sit with open borders for an eternity and make no attempt to sail across the world to invade us
oh that's right, he has no astro and nobody seems interesting in calling him on that

pindicator:
actually he has astro now

scooter:
because weed must be free in this game

pindicator:
no wait, he doesn't

scooter:
oh? guess I can't keep beating that joke into the ground then

pindicator:
omg, that's awful

scooter:
oh hahaha. figures

pindicator:
Commodore, you dumbass

scooter:
but seriously keep attacking us

pindicator:
ok, so i'm thinking i will move 10 knights into Dominos

scooter:
we have NOTHING BETTER TO DO than whip a crapload of modern ships

pindicator:
that should be enough to keep him from boating it

scooter:
ok

pindicator:
i'm gonna beg gold too

scooter:
why not

pindicator:
lol
i'm gonna beg off commodore

scooter:
everyone will say no becuase why would they be concerned about the #2 power running roughshod over us
again, free weed for all who play pb8

pindicator:
i'm gonna demand everything from commodore actually

scooter:
do it
I think I did that to you guys a couple times in pb5 when you did something that irritated me
it's fun

pindicator:
no wait
i'm gonna do it in different screens for each item

scooter:
hahahaha
troll away
he's earned it
in lieu of a turn report you should probably just paste this chat log

pindicator:
lol, i was going to past a pic of every demand

scooter:
hahah, that works too

pindicator:
that might take a while, i've decided that if he has multiple of a resource he gets a demand for each one

scooter:
dedication
if we can't get motivated to put up an intense, spirited defense, we might as well screw with people (one person in particular) as much as possible until they kill us already

pindicator:
absolutely
oh man, 12 fish

scooter:
lol. at first i thought you were talking about a xenu city

pindicator:
haha
ok, done with resources
now cities
you know what would be funny / probably result in a reset?

scooter:
both of those sound like fun outcomes

pindicator:
if he figures he can just accept all the resource demands and declare war, then autoclick accept on a few cities

scooter:
heh

pindicator:
shoot, did i do Greenway already or not?

scooter:
if there's any doubt, do it again
you know, just to be safe
wouldn't want him to think we don't want greenway
MEET OUR DEMANDS OR DIE, but no thanks on greenway

pindicator:
let it never be said that i was above being petty

scooter:
you sure set that record straight

pindicator:
wheh, done
1 demand of each thing

scooter:
that's gotta be 40ish demands
he likes to log in early in the morning too
happy friday commodore

pindicator:
oh, it's so childish
ok, here's a serious question

scooter:
we can just say it was for a role-play story and it should be okay

pindicator:
lol
but we can actually move our fleet to 1NE of Jamba Juice
and his frigate stack can't hit it
but the 2 frigates + 12 galleon stack can
that's assuming he'd even want to with the galleons (meaning they are empty)

scooter:
how could his frigate stack not hit it?

pindicator:
because it would have to go through jamba juice

scooter:
oh. cool

pindicator:
yeah, i missed that before

scooter:
and we have how many galleons again?

pindicator:
but we'll lose 2 galleons to frigates
and the rest will get away
if we stay in the city... dunno, it could be tricky to get awawy

scooter:
yeah i say do it

pindicator:
ok
i'm gonna upgrade every knight on combat line
maybe i'll leave 10 unpromoted

scooter:
yeah leave some unpromoted
pinch may be necessary on some

pindicator:
yeah

scooter:
alright, I'm gonna head to bed. do whatever you want with this chat log - if we can't give the lurkers a show of razing khmer cities, we can give them snide remarks about demanding khmer cities

pindicator:
yep
we live to entertain

scooter:
might as well when you're the "lovable loser" team in the game, hah
alright, i'm out. ttyl

pindicator:
ok, have a good night! 10:12 PM

scooter:
thanks! you too

[pindicator]

So yes, I literally demanded one of everything of Commodore's and did each item in a separate trade window.

In a more serious note, I offered our World Map for 200g to each other player. Then I realized they would never take that deal so I followed it up with 100g for our WM. Then I thought might as well be safe and offer 50g for our WM after that. So everybody gets at least three trade windows from us next turn.

At end of turn is now 2 turns at 100%. I think if we can get 100g then we may be able to get Chemistry in 2 turns. And that means we may have a chance after all...

You are evil incarnate.

[pindicator]

You are evil incarnate.

What's the saying? You go to war with the army you have
