I wasn't expecting to be needing this (hence the zero notice) but I won't be able to get regular internet connection until August it looks like. I'm playing as

Stalin of Inca in 18
Monty of Greece in 59
Shaka of France in 60

All of them are pretty interesting and in a phase where you can rrally mold the civ

jimbeam, suomi and shakman are the passwords, respectively.

I'm not going to be able to check this thread or the forums with regularity, so this is likely my final post for a week or so because I have to

I have having sustained connection issues and Ichabod is pretty much burnt out on civ, so if someone is interested in taking over for me PM or post in my thread. Right now LP is playing the turns but that is not sustainable.

Smiles tell the story

Smoking is bad

This is a Lilac Emergence themed spoiler thread for the dual showing of Bacchus (emergent-616) and Zanth (emergent-...) in Pitboss 21. The Future is merciless!



And Commodore can put a screenshot of our start here.

As we discussed in PM, our current game plan is to pick Roosevelt of the Maya, spam ball courts, this song



and various Space Jam remixes, and image macros of Ole' Freddy Boy (now cured of polio and in the body of Michael Jordan) dunking on all the effeminate European leaders picked by other players.

Thoughts..?

This will be our spoiler thread, you know what this mean.
