Depending on whether you're picked up by the authorities for piracy?
Well, I'll be definitely out of action from Thursday afternoon to late on Sunday (although I have the Monday off).
And on the sixth day, god created Manchester.

Turn played. I cancelled our NAP with Pegasus, who has longbows now. We might need more than 10 turns to prepare, but let's keep him guessing on when the attack comes.
I have to run.

Played 580 AD. Pegasus revolted to Theocracy and Vassalage, so I guess he got our message.
I set the slider to max tax and researched Drama in 1 turn, Music next. I figure we can pick up Music now because we'll want Military Tradition after Guilds.
Oxford and another GP due in 3 turns, 2 after ending turn.
I have to run.

What no pictures?
I'm back from the brink of hell and I don't get any pictures?

Welcome back! I suggest we erect Pavillions in Speed Limit and Top Kicker next turn to commemorate your ordeal.

Sounds good. Any other plans, apart from build lots of cats and knights and maces and CKNs...?
Did you say anything to Ruff/Pegasus after their comments?
Are we firing a Golden Age with the Great Artist from Music? Then switching to Theocracy and HR?

I told Pegasus we needed flexibility in our foreign policy. I guess a golden age is a nice option, it might make sense. Or we could swing for the MoM first. If/when we're going units everywhere Theo is better than OR though.

Played T140. Pictures!
Our workers in the east are running out of work so I built a settler in Top Kicker instead of the Pavillion. Let's settle the filler there and chop some infrastructure.
There's a 60% chance of our GP due from PB in two turns being a prophet or an artist. In that case, bulbing Divine Right is an option, to enable the Spiral Minaret and get a discount on Nationalism.
In the north I upgraded an archer to a CKN, which promptly took out three barbs on defense. The CKN is now headed east to the iron to deal with a barb axeman there.
We got the great artist from Music. Oxford due in 2. Let's go max science next turn and get started on Guilds, Philosophy, (Divine Right), Nationalism, Gunpowder, Military Tradition (Cuirassiers for the win!)
We could do Gunpowder before Nationalism and time a Golden Age for a visit to Nationhood and a round of drafting. EDIT: Yeah and Engineering sometime for extra movement and because we're such good allies.
I have to run.
