[SPOILERS - PBEM17] regoarrarr - Bismarck of Inca

Dead Lurker Is Back From The Dead.

I'm going to give us about 2:1 odds in favor of us getting the Oracle EOT40, based on the C&D work that's going on. It looks good.

[regoarrarr]

Turn 38 in the books.

Krilljs ergo Sum did pull off a tech this turn, 3t after their last tech (Polytheism - T35). I still think that can't be Priesthood.

Even if they got Polytheism with 0 gold in the bank and 0 overflow, Priesthood is only 56 beakers - why would they take 3 turns?

Unless maybe they started teching something else and then when they saw StM was the one that teched Meditation (and not Industrious us) they swapped to Priesthood?

Dunno - in any case, 2t till d-day and there's nothing we can do to speed it up at this point

[regoarrarr]

T39 came in and I opened up the Event Log....

and.....

Our wonder was BIADL

[regoarrarr]

And in case I wasn't clear, no I'm not talking about Stonehenge

[Cyneheard]

At least we lost it by 2t, so there was nothing we could have done.

[Cyneheard]

At least we lost it by 25t, so there was nothing we could have done.

[regoarrarr]

As we discussed, it was novice who built it.

It will probably turn out to be a decent wonder on this map, since all those snaky landmasses appear to be islands, so he'll have internal inter-continental trade routes.

Still, it's likely that we can have a full embargo on him with this few players. We shall see....

[Cyneheard]

After the crap that I went through in PBEM10 over trying to get an embargo on Meatbalz, and then seeing Mackoti run away with it...

Yeah, we need to not let Mr. GLH blow away the rest of the field.

[regoarrarr]

Well if previous days are an indication, I should have the save in about 4 hours from now, and we shall see!
