If you don't want to spoiled for PBEM 34 (players/dedlurkers) STAY AWAY!!

This is a thread for Elizabeth of North America, who's anthem is:

My country, 'tis of thee,
Long live our noble Queen,
Of thee I sing;
Send her victorious,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
Long to reign over us:
Let freedom ring!
















All other lurkers, welcome

Hey, look, I remembered to start the thread with [SPOILERS] this time!

Here's some appropriate filler text:

Ninth came Teucer, stretching his curved bow.
He stood beneath the shield of Ajax, son of Telamon.
As Ajax cautiously pulled his shield aside,
Teucer would peer out quickly, shoot off an arrow,
hit someone in the crowd, dropping that soldier
right where he stood, ending his life—then he’d duck back,
crouching down by Ajax, like a child beside its mother.
Ajax would then conceal him with his shining shield.

Thanks, Wikipedia!

Thread to be used once the Greens have picked.

So basically, I was just so sick of all the crap Brennus was getting that I had to make a game tailored to his strengths.

Screenshot please . Explanation of my stupid picks will come later.

I'll let insanity wolf introduce my pick...



Anyways, this game promises to be all kinds of wacky. Emp raging barbs... Always War... Mongolia, Native Americans, and Mali taken while Byz sits unpicked... Lincoln wasn't picked... That's right, LINCOLN wasn't picked for a format in which he was probably the strongest choice in a vacuum... And the best part, I get 3 cities. So since this promises to be a wacky game, my theme is pretty simple. One city for each of these guys to govern:



Yep, gonna be that kinda game.

Well, thank god someone decided that war was a good idea for this game.

I thought I'll better make a new one, so that the other one is not clustered from both groups and people are overlooking stuff. Players right now:

Automated Teller
Zero 1627
Twinkletoes
Serdoa

I think the only thing to choose was the difficulty (and civ/leader of course), and I would suggest we go with Emperor, same as the Vets did. If something else needs to be decided I am sure Commodore will let us know.

Picking Order

Automated Teller
TT
Zero
Serdoa

Please also mention your playing window (in GMT) and if you'd rather play a 4CC (so that National Wonders are possible) a 3CC without National Wonders or a 3CC with Cyneheards Mod (making National Wonders available despite only 3 cities). If you have an issue with the difficulty, mention it as well.

Did anyone here watch Terra Nova? FOX has announced that it will not be picking up season 2 (as per usual for FOX).

That leaves us to think about what happened in the season 1 finale. The people in the past successfully repelled an invasion from the future ... and they also recovered something that the people in the future were trying to return to the future ... it looked like the figure head off an old ship.


(illustration, not the item shown on the show)

What can this be? My thinking is that it is off a ship that was lost in the Bermuda Triangle with the show saying that (somehow) the events of the Bermuda Triangle are related to time travel.
