Since, with 33 players, no one else will get a chance to lurk it.

yes, dear reader, you will get to see AT question his own moves, argue with himself on strategy, and beat on himself for allowing his capital to be razed - in other words, behave as normal.

however, if you are actually a player in this game (and face it, there's a good chance you are), you should leave immediately!!!

Players stay out, or be forced to have an increased quota in next years 3-year plan

Did you know that if you take the phrase, "The winner of Pitboss 18" and take out some letters and add some letters, you get, "Oxyphenbutazone"??

Lincoln (CHA/PHI) of Mongolia.

Willem (CRE/FIN) of Babylon.

Welcome to Pitboss 18 and the thread belonging to Victoria of the Aztecs.

Starring:
Fintourist - complaining and infinitely iterated micro plans :Coffee:
Old Harry - boundless dumb optimism and taking pictures
TheHumanHydra - complicated Latin, warfare and possibly even logging into the game
And introducing our guest star Retep as NobleHelium

Anyone else want to join us? After our magnificent second third place in post-count and thread-views for PB13 we stand a good chance of winning this one due to the lack of a Pindicooter team .
