[SPOILERS] Scooticator and Pindooter give a sporting try

[scooter]

So I logged in to... you know, I don't even remember why. I had a reason, but upon seeing what I saw, I totally forgot whatever it was. Because I saw this.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This is either the biggest practical joke Brick has ever played at RB, or just a giant F.U.

No wait, it's still pb8 scooter. You never woke up

Tech Selected: Archery

[Krill]

Actually, you should blame me: I told him to randomise the start locations after he finished with the map.

FTFY

[antisocialmunky]

I don't think he can see you yet, kill the scout if you can.

[NobleHelium]

So we popped Wheel? I told you we should have chopped the southwest forest.

And we also popped scum as a neighbor, of course.

[pindicator]

I told Brick in chat that all we need are Xenu and Slowcheetah to show and the whole gang from PB8 is back together again!

And don't worry about the forest, Noble. We're going to chop that SW one before we lay a meaningful road. Our first two roads will be on the wheat and either W/NW/SW of the wheat to connect our city #2

[scooter]

As much as I would love to kill the scout, we do definitely need to be back in time to escort the settler to the new spot. Then I think we head north and figure out exactly where he's at. Wouldn't mind squeaking out an archer to go screw with his micro or something, but given our nice surroundings that's not a massive priority just yet. Soon though, maybe.

Turn 033

First off, Lewwyn did not take peace. I am not in favor of declaring on him, for the record. I don't see why we have to act antagonistic towards every neighbor. And especially Lewwyn; he's an emotional player and will remember if you were nice to him or were a jerk. Considering our neighbors, let's not jerk around with him any more. We can trade for maps with Writing anyway.

That said, we did get to see he built a settler this turn. For whatever that's worth



I moved our scout out of his lands and tried again for peace.



And with the warrior I thought about moving it to keep his scout from advancing. But then I thought better of it, realizing that maybe we just need to leave him be and we'll be able to have one side of the map where we're not acting hostile towards people.

So I moved the warrior ontot he hill, and now I want to quit the game.



Seriously, I am tired of fighting Commodore. In PB5 Rego & I had to whip our empire silly to fend off an early naval rush. In PB8 we had to deal with him ALL GAME LONG. And now he's close enough that his first warrior built is already at our doorstep? I mean come on, I just played against him in a duel! It's like all I get to do in Civ now is play against Commodore rushes, like a nightmare that I never wake up from.

Turn is not ended. Lucky for us, a chop just finished this turn, and I think we need to put that into an Archer instead of the settler. If we don't and he advances it's game over, so I think it's our only move.

I seriously am considering walking away from this game.

Edit: Eh, I'm probably being a bit emo with the walking away part. But seriously, it's every single game
