Nothing like the Prodigal Sons: The Odd Couple actually play as themselves.

[Gaspar]

Gavagai still hasn't played. I won't be able to get at the turn until like 8:30 PM. Noble, if you can't grab it, I guess ask for a pause in the tech thread? Or maybe Boldly can play, since all the heavy lifting is done and there are signs for everything?

Either way, I'm off to the salt mines and I definitely won't be able to get it.

[NobleHelium]

Nah we're going to need a pause.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

I can play if you've left instructions. I'll wait for Gavagai to play first, so confirm that you want me to play rather than the pause.

I'm assuming that tech is to remain at 50% until Whiskey Ring grows, at least. Anything else? I'm on chat but going to lunch soon if you need to give specific info about the turn.

[NobleHelium]

I am going to pause the turn, sorry Boldly. And no, the tech shouldn't be at 50%.

[NobleHelium]

I've paused the game. Unfortunately we will likely not be able to play until tonight.

Time for Goreripper to say something to the extent of "you can log in the pause but you can't play the turn?" to which I will respond "that is correct." I'm calling it now.

Christmas eve i played that with all of my cousins. Hilarious indeed

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

I have played that in my office and at some staff trainings as an icebreaker activity. Any combo involving Helen Keller is a winner.

t55 - I'm wicked and I'm lazy

So yeah, falled a bit behind on turn reports. This ridiculous song and dance with Gavagai to ensure the second half of the turn timer of course at its root. More deeply at its root, my laziness.

So here's a quick rundown of where we are:

• We have research visibility on Gavagai, and he finished Pottery EOT55
  
• We got a free Buddhism spread to the capital
  
• Priesthood is due in at next EOT
  
• No other wonders or first-to's have fallen
  
• Gavagai planted his 4th city, Beryllium NE of the Oasis, which is an excellent and non-aggressive plant
  
• I still owe you the "why we're going after Oracle when I know better" post. Its not coming tonight, sorry.
  

Here's a large overview pic:




And here are the demoson t55:

So yeah, Gavagai attacked with two chariots. So it shall be.
