RBP4 [SPOILERS] - Shaka of Zulu (sunrise089, regoarrarr, and friends)

[regoarrarr]

I always get a little nervous when I see people (apparently) intentionally holding on to the turn, wanting to be the last to play, such as Lord Parkin was doing in the email thread.

Butterflies as I hit Ctrl-tab for the event log, but..... nothing :woohoo:



All appears to be according to plan.

In addition to the big ol monument, Wheel should come in this turn. If Adlain's directions were right (and plako got them and followed them), we should meet plako this turn when he logs in

[regoarrarr]

Speaking of Lord Parkin, if some of our lurkers / ded-lurkers / missing co-player () will check in while I'm at church, we might be able to catch him in post count.

By my reckoning we're currently just one down!!!

[regoarrarr]

Okay I couldn't help myself to at least go for the tie before I leave

Reading grew to size 2 and is now working both the corn and gold - so we've got Ihkanda now due in 3.

We're at 100/103 on The Wheel and making 19bpt, so we should have 16bpt overflow into Mysticism (85b), so we should get that in 4-5 turns depending on tile configuration and how many of our neighbors already have it.

[regoarrarr]

Okay I lied again (and on the way to church nonetheless!!) (where I'm going to be late )

Quick email to Adlain

Hi adlain,

So our warrior Bob has spied another one of your warriors - if I understand the map correctly, coming up from where Locke's lands are? Is there any openings to the south of him? If not, do you have any suggestions on where he should head? He's already explored to the north of his current spot.

Looks like a set of 3 "peak blockers" blocking Locke off from someone else to the east maybe?

I was tied when I left!! You guys let me down!!!

Been chatting a bit with Adlain and nakor about the map. Apparently Rule 26 of this game says that we can trade maps at first contact, so he sent us this



Thanks for leaving in all the other stuff about your empire nakor!!!

It appears though that either our peak blocker tiles do not border them or they haven't discovered it yet.

Also we should meet plako next turn as I think I mis-moved our warrior this turn

[regoarrarr]

Locke is killin me here with this "not having ended turn yet" jibber jabber.

I need the turn to roll so I can see if we get the freakin GLH!!!!!!

[regoarrarr]

And ... on cue ... after a quick break to go upstairs and be told that of course, Scooby Doo pajama tops go with SpongeBob pajama pants, I come downstairs to find ...



That was my first clue to check that we were no longer residents of Last-place-ia!



:2dance::2dance::aar:

And for good measure

congrats regoarrarr!
