[SPOILERS] scooter, pindicator, and Huayna Capac try some fast Zulu cuisine

[pindicator]

I don't think xenu seeing the ships is bad, because he is seeing our galleys moving away from him. So I think that's a bonus. We probably have a good 4 - 5 turn window of him buying the "we're going to attack slowcheetah" story.

Alright, so some amusing stuff from a couple turns ago. I logged in to finish our turn, and Bigger was in-game (as he is approximately 5 hours a day ) as well as Xenu. While I'm playing the turn I get this popup:



Oh man, war turns going down while I'm in game! Rought start for Bigger I guess. That led to this exchange:



Made me laugh. That said, Azza is most certainly going down it seems:



Ouch. I canceled our marble deal with Serdoa, and we were able to work out a straight wine-for-gold swap. Then the silks came online. We haggled a bit and eventually agreed to this:



That stupid barb galley down south actually DID have a coastal passageway that we didn't see . That means we lost 2 seafood, but I whipped us a Caravel down south:



I was last to end turn, so I pressed enter, watched it eat our seafood, then killed it. I was also greeted by this message!



Awesome . And I rushed Notre Dame as well:



Happiness issues should be gone now . Thats 4-5 happiness we procured in about 48 hours, so that's pretty solid.

(I didn't play the rest of the turn)

LOL @ culture flip. Free units too! Ahahahaha...

[Ceiliazul]

Wow, nice turn for you guys! The magic carpet ride continues

[pindicator]

Took a peek at the game. Moved Boston Market back to the cottage - it's not being worked at the other locations because those cottages are going to be paved over.

We need to get a galley to the south so we can shuttle the settler to the fish island in the south. Whip from Dairy Queen? Or somewhere else?

[NobleHelium]

There's a fish island in the south?

[scooter]

Ok, I popped in and finished the turn for us. First, Pin, I'm thinking it may be worth waiting until our wounded galley finishes making it back from Slowlandia. It's probably 10-12 turns away or so from being ready to deliver the iceball settler city, and given the hammer crunch we're in, I think I"d rather wait out those turns than whip a galley that will otherwise sit and do nothing. And yes, Noble, there's a 1 tile ice island with a fish wayyy down south. It's otherwise worthless, but with GLH it's pure profit so it's a no-brainer to go ahead and settle it now that we have a settler sitting around. Ok, on to the good stuff.



I was wondering if this was going to happen. I of course rejected this, which brought up this:



Um yeah sure thing dude, accepted. If all it takes to get him to not go crazy on us is a clam then man, we will ship him, like, so much clam chowder. Seriously Xenu. Clam Chowder. On us, for free, unlimited. Just build no more units and let us have silk city plzthx. Also, time for your daily dose of this game is seriously crazy, crazy being a legal term here.



Hahawhat yeah I don't know either. Things are just sort of happening without a clear rhyme or reason. This is where I remind you lurkers that I am ridiculously jealous of you all for getting to watch this game. Can't wait to read threads in the post-game. Anyways, we may have a problem:



6 units incoming? Quite possibly. I nudged our 4 galleys up so we can respond accordingly if he drops off 6 units. We should be fine here though. I went ahead and ended turn, so the next turn has started. We've been last a couple turns in a row now, so we should probably start doing a better job of ending turn.

[pindicator]

Let's not mess around. Get the caravels up there and sink his boats. We can whip a round of stuff with our newfound happy and take that island then sue for peace

I forgot to say that we're 11t away from astro. Our econ keeps improving nicely!

[MindyMcCready]

I am so surprised that I'm still reading an awesome thread from you guys.

You guys are full of awesomeness!

You know what they say,....better late than never.
