Bleaaaaaaarghhhhh....

I think that's all that needs to be said on the matter.

OK, going from memory here.

Whipped Numbers because a Barb Axe got right next to the city and there's only a catapult inside. Not sure how a Barbarian could get so close without us scrambling a sense, but a Longbow was whipped out, so the city should be safe. Gold might be pillaged, though, which would be a real problem. Our first couple of Knights should head North to make sure we do NOT run into this problem again.

I think most of the cities are running on inertia, but I think Genesis could build a couple of Longbows just to shore up defenses here or there. In Joshua ... I think I interrupted a military build so we could actually get a Barracks there first.

And we still need more Workers. smoke Oh well.

On Ky's request, I did the turn.

Followed worker plans on signs and I managed to get the Barb Axeman killed off the gold mine without losing the catapult or longbow at numbers! Worker is now rebuilding the mine now.

Aside from that I managed to get a sentry HA to see into Rome's size 1 city 'Praet Failure'.

Cyneheard also declared on Dantski this turn - if that affects us in any way?

Awesome. I have no idea if that war affects us, though.

Following the Worker signs is probably not a terrible idea, either. We still have a couple of Calendar resources to improve.

Oh, and England has cut off our expansion to the north 'cuz we're slowbies. cry

Hey, Kyan, how're the turns going? I can probably pick up some of them this week. Sorry to leave you hanging, but once I get my new PC, I should be able to handle all the turns.

New PC in hand. No real responses, I guess you don't check our thread anymore. Wonder if our turns have even been played? I'll check in tonight.

Right, so I actually checked in: No idea what's going on. Ky, wanna brief me? I may be kinda useless as a player until I get brought up to speed a bit.

I'm not even sure WHY we're taking so long, except that most of us don't really care anymore about playing this game promptly. It's instead dying a (very) slow death. I can't even manage my civ properly when it takes 5 days between turns, much less feel invested in this game at all. And many others feel the same way.

So, shall we take a vote on ending the game?

There are 14 teams still alive. I believe we should have at least a 2/3 vote to call the game done (so, 10 teams). No one is in a dominant position for the win (and with tech trading, it's not like most of our teams are unable to stay competitive), but I don't know how the 14 of us are ever going to finish this game.

I don't want to be part of the first RB game to not even declare a winner, but I don't see another option.

Teams In Favor of Ending This Game:
England, Carthage, Rome, Byzantium

Teams Opposed:

Teams Abstaining:
Ottomans

Teams Not Posted:
Egypt, HRE, Portugal, India, Aztec, Inca, Maya, Mali, Babylon

In case you missed it.
