Nice move putting a holy city in Gavagai's face. Why did you Parkin going for Buddhism? Or did I just not pay attention?
I have to run.

No good reason really - superstition at this point I suppose.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Actually t53 - Gaspar can't count
Just going to give a few quick screens for this turn, then I'll give some explanations of what's going on and a little macro later on (read, probably tomorrow.)
We settled Iran Contra:
Gavagai's initial scout made a reappearance - this explains how he got his contacts:

How many hammers to we have into the axe in Plame Affair? Is it 4 or less? Until we see what G does regarding settling his front city, it may be good to keep the possibility of a 2pop axe to overflow for another offensive unit. If we're over that, well, I guess I should have thought of this sooner.

We are over it. I wanted to get it below the 1-pop threshold for an emergency whip earlier because we were not at 4 pop. The worker is supposed to be whipped next turn into the axe which will get it close to completion and we could crash build the rest of it if need be.
Remember we can always put hammers into a spear and 2-pop whip that to overflow.

Sandbagging reporting on specific topics, usually related to first-to bonuses or wonders, for the purpose of concealing your activity until it is too late for any opponents to react, should they somehow come across the illicit information. Typically, Parkin-ing is done, and moreover inspired by, an unhealthy paranoia and general distrust of humanity. Or one's opponents. The etymology of the term is uncertain, though it likely is derived from New Zealand and hyper-powergamer types who are unable to control powergaming tendencies, to the detriment of the larger community.
Gaspar has just exhibited the most mild case recently diagnoses and should be fine, with some rehabilitation.

It's not called Qgqqqqq-ing for a reason. Although, as easily as that rolls off the tongue, we could probably turn you into a verb too.
