[SPOILERS] Xenu Succeeds, BGN Fails! - RB's First Pitboss Succession Game

The settler is in position and workers are set to finish the bronze mine next turn as Aaron Murray grows to size 3. On the following turn (38) two workers will finish the grass mine to get back on the road network and then they'll do...something. We have a couple of turns before Pottery comes in where we may build a road until we can lay down cottages. The other worker will start chopping the forest N of Aaron Murray as Pottery should come in just in time for the chop to go to the granary. AM can grow quickly to size 4 and get started on another settler. With so few land tiles, we should be good on workers for a little while. And I don't think we need many warriors. We can spawnbust the entire island with three more warriors. But I'm just now realizing that our new warrior is going to be a spear at more than twice the cost. Damn. We don't really need the spears right now but we just need something, anything will do, to keep the barbs away. But I still can't justify not hooking the copper. We need good tile yields.




Demos should improve nicely next turn with a new city and a pop growth onto a good tile.

What did BOHICA discover up north?

Also, did you see what Wazzou did to Arizona last night? 55 in the first half... That was fun to watch.

I thought I took another screenshot while playing but apparently I didn't. I'll do better next turn. BOHICA has uncovered another fish in the north, but, unsurprisingly, it is impossible to get that fish on this island while also getting the one near the floodplains spot. Annoyingly, we'll still have to settle on the floodplains and then grab this fish from another island, which could be seen if I had taken a picture.

The good news is that our demos did improve. We are -3gpt now and it is going to be very close getting Pottery without having to stop to save gold for a turn. I'll see how many beakers we get this turn and then decide next turn whether to drop the research rate. We could run 80% either this turn or next and have enough gold to get to Pottery if I counted beakers correctly. Running 80% does not lose any commerce due to rounding with current the current tile configuration, which won't change for the next two turns.

Yeah bro we're gonna need that map screenshot. Can't bitch about the map if we can't see it.

Log in and take the pic.

So you know how when you're playing Mario Kart the preferred game mode is obviously time trial because everyone prefers to play against the clock to see who's the best?  No?  You don't prefer playing that way?  Oh you prefer having other people to play against so you can crush them with a well timed green shell or an ace banana shot?  Yeah that's great and all but fuck that, you're playing time trial.  You get an island with nobody on it.


If you're drunk or high and squint at it in just the wrong way it almost looks Yoshi shaped with an old 8-bit Mario on his back facing the wrong way.

It's cool though, there's no reason to be upset by the lack of neighbors when playing as Persia, our horses are probably under a lake tile anyway, or we won't be able to settle them unless we want to do without food.  We can play a less fun version of Persia, we'll just out build the other players, run a smooth time trial hey look at that score!  I mean that's as fun a story to tell as that one time when you had an awesome comeback in the last lap, caught up from being way behind by some good luck and then won at the last second with a sweet mini turbo + draft boost, right?  Time trials are definitely more exciting than racing!

So for us PB41 is basically playing some shit combination of Baby Rosalina, Badwagon, slick tires, with the Peach Parasol in a time trial when we thought we were going for split screen madness.

I mean which of these would you rather be?


Yeah I mean don't even compare these, one is fine and the other is shit.  You can still win with the shit build but it's probably not as fun once you've seen just how bad it is.

Need Sailing soon or I'm going to die of boredom.

Mariokart after the N64 is an abomination.

Mariokart after the N64 is an abomination.

I can't speak to any of the entries between MK64 and MK8 deluxe on Switch as I missed them all.  But MK8 is a lot of fun if you haven't tried it.  If nothing else it was amazing for me to play it with the little tyrant and watch him start from nothing to being able to at least challenge me sometimes and outright win if the item lottery goes his way.  Just for giving me that experience I can report 100% it is not an abomination.  And the game is fun on its own, what can I say.  It's still Mario Kart.

But we'll still always have Choco Mountain, am I right?



But I don't care what anyone says, SNES Mario Kart Rainbow Road separates the men from the boys. SNES Mario Kart is best Mario Kart.

I only ever played battle mode but that is awesome.

Why did I just watch that entire video? And my god, I've never seen so many people practicing terminal virginity.
