Jokes aside, on the last turn, I completed the Pyramids (after lucking out on a 30% chance GEng - could have gotten Great Library, but thought Pyramids would be best) and finished Theology, getting Christianity. Next turn, I'll revolt to Representation and Org. Rel.
I'm way behind the other players due to the loss of my 4th city (which would be a power city, not a support city like my 2nd and 3rd ones, so it was a great loss) and general bad play. I lost music artist by only one turn (due to turn order, if Pindicator got it). I was going to use it for a culture bomb in the contested central region, just so I could say I had an impact in the game.
Plan now is to tech to astronomy and guilds and try to do something with that... Oppa Mackoti Style, just way worsely executed...
That being said, I think I have been pretty fair this game. I could have severely hindered Pindicator, just for the heck of it, after he destroyed my city. But I chose to make a demand of gold for open borders when I had trirremes near his cities ready for pillage mayhem, which was the best outcome for me. Not a big thing, but I like to keep my sportsmanship, at least.

Nice C&H as always.

I was just messing with Pindicator due to the WW20 game. That robot is a character from the Portal 2 game named Wheatley. Pindicator wanted to make a post calling me Wheatley after I faked a power role on him, so I changed my avatar and posted into his PB8 thread to fool around. 
I'll probably change it soon. Just need to choose something fiting.

Just captured Ruff's Hanging Gardens city. It was his Moai city too, with a lot of infrastructure. Ruff was in Caste System, with only an axe and warrior on a island city. I attacked with 2 chariots, 2 swords, a crossbow and an axe. Lost chariot at 3.3% chances, crossbow at 50.6%, swordsman at ~70% and the rest was mop up at 99,9%. Average-bad luck, though I attacked amphibiously.

Haven't read the thread yet, but your trireme wouldn't have made a big difference. Commodore gave us nearly all ocean seafood *cough* so you would have only pillaged one resource. You could have dropped everything and gone AW on us of course, but from my experience early game mercy doesn't translate to any tangible benefits later on.

Well, I could be annoying just for the sake of it, chasing galleys and stuff. But since I was getting TGLh TRs from you, it would be stupid to do that, from a perspective of having a chance to win the game.

Losing that city was super annoying ... and made you my blood enemy for the balance of the game. I did have a ton of fun (and luck) taking it back. I must actually do the report(s) for those turns.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Ouch, i kind of guessed that after razing your 4th city you checked out a bit from the game. That really was luck on my part - the galley had a couple of turns until it was needed and i decided to throw a warrior on board at the last minute, just in case.
I was really amazed by your opening, being able to expand and build all those wonders. Didn't realize that you did it with only one worker though!
Hope this isn't your true swan song, because you're a fun report writer here. But i think you have the right idea with casual games being the primary focus.
