If only we had officially banned it.

Oh man it's been almost a month since I last posted in this thread.
Sorry guys, I just haven't felt like reporting because I've been busy with so many other things and really I've only been half playing. Mostly because I've been half expecting this game to simply die. Especially with team 4 being half a team. 
Anyway, I was never particularly involved with our grand plan in terms of figuring out the details, but looking at the game, I think Culture is a losing bet. I'm going to be wondering it up, but as a result I'm actually about to pop a GM/GE and not a GA. Thus our plan to get 9-10 GAs is looking spectacularly grim. Thus our plan for a culture win is looking pretty unfortunate. We missed that GA from music, and I was pretty skeptical we'd be able to culture win after that anyway.
So we'll keep going, but honestly, and ASM, luddite if you read this please feel free to respond. I really think we should just ditch the culture plan and go strait for expansion/economy/military. I'll keep building wonders. We'll keep teching. And we'll see if we can find an opening somewhere. Basically its not all that different from our current plan. But I think maybe if we change the focus of what we're doing it'll be better in the long run. Dunno, after all I'm not investing as much time into this. You guys tell me and I'll execute the order.
At least for now my civ has top score. :neenernee

The map is so big that I feel like any early attack is doomed. So we might as well just keep developing like we have been, and keep our options open. I don't actually know if culture is feasible or not, but I'd like to keep it as an option. If we do commit to culture, it would mostly happen at the very end, and until then we'll just be developing everything as normal.
I guess just do whatever it is you'd normally do. Build whatever wonders seem useful (hagia sophia?), and if you get great people it's fine, just don't run any specialists.

Remember that our GP queue isn't completely linked, we only get a partially increase for every GP you pop. Luddite or I can just continually run an artist and out run your GPP increase. A GE/GM isn't bad, we can bulb paper or save for a GA/Taj or something.

Just FYI, someone (one of the Indias) landed The Hanging Gardens last turn. Does that work team wide? Otherwise that's kinda a waste.
Also I sent marble and Fish, Lewwyn.

My people are unhappy. I need to borrow a cup of sugar for them.
