T79, two new cities settled, chilly seaworld and backwater moonshine. Actually, I might change their names to that...
TBS settled at the silver, but in a way that's trying to fight me for deer and wheat. That is very annoying. My borders pop T82 though, so it should be OK. If not, if he wants to use that little chariot of his to get busy, I can always redirect my research to Construction instead of Currency... even if I get currency first, I could very easily have a huge mixed stack of units with cats, swords, etc, by T100 if people want to poke at me.

Mmmmmmmmm... shitty neighbor confirmed. What a fucker. I settled this city like 20 turns ago. I actually didn't expect his borders to pop until next turn, wherein I'd have a 50/50 shot at it. (my borders here are popping next turn) But then I remembered the missionary he sent up... can't see this as anything but a highly hostile action that he should not expect to get away with. He has a chariot milling around my southwestern border too, near my new city that only has an axe for defense. Can't do anything about that for a couple turns though except hope he doesn't want to start a blood feud immediately.

I had a slew of epicly boring meetings at work today, and so how better to use my time than to write a quick perl script to grab the scores from the RBPB18 tracker and import them into excel, per-player. Anyone out there in lurker-land interested in having score graphs for the last 30 turns or so? Here's something to play with:

And here's what I look like in relation to my neighbors + dtay, just so you can see how comical his lead is: (oxy there is 2nd in score )
edit: not sure why AT is on that plot, must have just missed the checkbox when selecting data and then didn't notice it in the graph. Haven't even met him yet.

Demographics lookin' good. Might even look a smidgen better next turn, as we gain a few pop then.
8 more turns until the GS, 5 turns until the silver. (forgot ice roads take 4 turns, ugh). The turn timings are working out quite nice; I'll be on airplanes for like 8 hours on Wednesday, plenty of time to do the next micro set to complete the Hanging Gardens!

Parkin is playing both of my neighbors again... although, I guess Hashoosh isn't really my neighbor anymore, since my scout discovered that TBS settled the stone in such a way (and presumably expanded that city's borders the same way he did to steal my wheat and deer) to completely block Hashoosh off from the big expanse of still-empty land to my southwest and TBS's southeast. Such greedy settling from TBS...

Maybe! Probably depends on how much you lurkers are able to egg me on before scooter comes back and stops me!

I have no idea what that is, other than being vaguely creepy...
