Here you go ... note that stupid fish to the South ... I really hate it when the map only gives you 1 tile to select if you want to get a resource in a city BFC. Warrior is just above the bananas ... he will be heading West. I zoomed out to look for some other culture ... zippo.

At least you won't have to settle on the rice to get the fish tongue

I'll be away from civ Feb 11 to 20. Given the riveting nature of these early turns, I would be happy to arrange for a pbem stand in to play and forward these turns.

Are there any unspoiled lurkers out there who want to play this game for about 8 day for me? We won't be much beyond the '1 netted crab, lets think about a worker' stage. It should be pretty easy to leave a fairly full list of instructions.

Ok mate, i'm ready whenever you are to play. Just gimme a bell. Do you want to leave set instructions or just play economical/militaristic? I'm happy either way, i'll do the best i can smile

Diplomatically, based on your thread, i'd rather just send some kind of template for people to wait until you're back rather than delve into that myself but i'll go with whatever you wish.

I'll send you a copy of the save so that we can test that you can open it. What is your email address and I'll send you my password. I'll need you to step in from Feb 11 to 20 but feel free to d/l any of the saves and have a look around smile

chatted to De Krill for a bit today ...

De Krill: Yo dude, you around?
I wanted to chat about Rb PBEM2 if that is possible.
me:shoot
De Krill: I think I drastiaclly need to go for IW
Would yuo be interested in a trade for IW?
me: got lots of jungle?
De Krill: Looking that way.
me: me too
De Krill: Probably enough space for a city, maybe two more without neededing to chop
me: you must be slightly closer to the equator than I am
De Krill: Probably, yeah
and thanks to the map setting, no land to the north...
me: well - not much land anyway
met anyone yet?
De Krill: no...
you?
me: oh ... and we don't need a spamming thread - the tracker will do fine
De Krill: I'd have been slightly concerned if I met someone this early
me: and no, not yet
De Krill: Well, I think at least one person is heading for alphabet
me: wow - that was quick
De Krill: hmm?
me: you mean 1 person SHOULD head toeards alphabet
De Krill: I know of at least one person who has explicitly stated they want an early alphabet
me: and you don't want to be that person
De Krill: I don;t mind being that person
b7ut not going to fight them for it
me: oh - you have talked to the others?
De Krill: yeah.
me: can I ask who?
yes I can ... who?
De Krill: Aren't you supposed to be roleplaying Tokugawa?
me: I have drawn up my version of Toku and I have not violated it yet
De Krill: Cool
me: so ... who?
De Krill: I'm a little hesitant to say who is researching it; I'm not averse to passing along diplomacy, but at this stage of the game it could do quite alot of long term damage.
However
You do have only 4 players to talk to.
De Krill: I'm a little hesitant to say who is researching it; I'm not averse to passing along diplomacy, but at this stage of the game it could do quite alot of long term damage.
However
me: fair enough
De Krill: I'd definitely tell you if we did get some sort of trade set up
And I'd tell you for sure if I got a trade set up for Alphabet
Not like i'm going to set up an alliance and then stick to it religiously, UTA style
Or even set up an alliance.
me: great - any news of the outside world is valued by Japan
De Krill: You aren't going to contact anyone, are you?
You are only going to interact when other players aproach you.
me: what do you mean by that?
De Krill: Are you roleplaying toku along hte lines ofh te splendid isolation Epic?
one day I'll learn to type
me: I am not familiar with this Epic that you are talking about
who is that person?
De Krill: ok
Sorry I said that.
me: but basically - you nailed it
De Krill: Please accept Fronces' sincere apologies
;()
me: but do not tell the others that you have worked out how to deal with Japan
De Krill: np
me: I ran an experiement in pbem1 - does spying work ... I think I showed that it did
I am running an experiment in this game too
De Krill: Good luck with the experiment :0
me: thx
talk to you later
De Krill: yup, cya

Krill worked how how I am roll-playing Tokugawa but said he wouldn't pass that on to the others. This will make this experiment just that little bit harder ... given that I fully expect Krill to abuse that information.

I just noticed that I missed Would yuo be interested in a trade for IW? (I was having some chat issues) ... I buzzed him back.

me: Krill - I'm just posting our chat to rb and noticed that I missed your 4th line
"Would yuo be interested in a trade for IW?"
yes I would ... what would you value in return?
De Krill: I don't really mind. Maths could be useful
and I'd have to offer a small tech to even it out
me: that sounds promising
De Krill: Maths also opens up alot of techs for you to go after as well afteerwards
me: I cannot lock that down at the moment as I am miles away from both of them ... but I will keep it in mind
De Krill: Calendar for instance could get alot of people asking you for it
yeah.
I'm not exactly close to IW either
me: ok - I'll enter it in pencil on my dance card ... lol
De Krill:
De Krill: Monarchy would be useful, but I think others will set up trades for that, so you might have problems going that way.
me: ok - thanks for the information about the outside world
De Krill: Anything to help a friend
me:

Is that out of character? No, not at all. Japan is never rude and will always respond to enquirers.

Do I feel that this game will decend into Krill manipulating Japan re tech trades. I expect that Krill will mention that Japan is going Maths / Calendar (not a bad suggestion by the way) and that people will come knocking to set up trades for such. You can just picture Krill sitting at his desk ...

Now ... what can I get Japan to do for me today?

I guess Krill is roleplaying De Gaulle. smile
