Chairmen NobleHelium and Gaspar Demand Your Presence in the Collective

[NobleHelium]

I thought this chat segment might be amusing to lurkers.

Gaspar: I'm saying I feel like we need to hit T41
me: honestly i haven't played enough games
Gaspar: I'm not saying its right
me: to have a good feel
Gaspar: But the one thing I have on you
is experience
me: well if you really think that
then we shouldn't have tried
Gaspar: well
and rugged good looks
anyway
im just saying we should keep aiming to improve
its hard to say
me: so fucking sandbox some you asshole
Gaspar: lol
me: you said "we"
look i have my way of doing micro
and you have yours
maybe yours is better here
i'm not going to be able to deviate enough from my way of doing things to hit t41 most likely
since i've done this fucking sim about a dozen times
probably more than that
Gaspar: simmer down shirley
me: i'm not actually angry
Gaspar: no need to get your knickers in a twist
me: i'm just saying this is probably the best i can do
so if you think we can do better
then show me
Gaspar: I doubt that
I'm just saying you give up too easily
Yes
me: you don't even try
Gaspar: fuck you
I shaved a turn off
you have to understand our roles
I'm the executive chef
you're the line cook
you do all the work
I come in, throw some Oregano on it
me: well too bad if you want a better lobster cook it yourself
Gaspar: and take it from a 4-star dish to a 5-star dish
and take 100% of the credit
me: i don't care about the credit
get us a better lobster
because i can't
Gaspar: im am 100% fucking around right now
i will run another sim
me: one more sim he says!
Gaspar: you will be embarrassed by my bad micro
me: well no
why would i be embarrassed
Gaspar: but ill do something that will make you change your plan
me: i might laugh at you or be frustrated at you
Gaspar: and well shave another turn off
me: but i'm not going to be embarrassed
Gaspar: we're like the anti-no7
they take turns sucking each others popsicles about how great they each are
we take turns insulting each other

Played turn 25.



Moving around mackoti's borders. I'm pretty sure we can squeeze through here.



Lewwyn DOWed us to scout. If he foolishly moves 2SE next turn then obviously we kill his scout. Most likely he'll move onto one of the forest hills, in which case we do nothing since we'd be unhappy otherwise. We could potentially attack in 2 turns since we'll be in anarchy then, or in 4 turns when the second warrior completes. Most likely we'll just let him through.



We'll need to turn tech off next turn.

Crazy busy day...

Yeah, looks good on that front.

Yeah, no chance he's stupid enough to land next to the city on flat ground, sadly. Would like to punish his intransigence but probably just have to let him pass through.

Pretty mundane stuff. I'll be around tomorrow evening if you want to kibitz about the game but if the turn comes in before then and you're around, feel free to play it - I won't be free until ~6PM.

[NobleHelium]

Definitely not going to be around before 6 PM tomorrow, and probably won't be around that much during the night either.

[Gaspar]

I'll catch the turn in about a half an hour if you're around to discuss it.

[Gaspar]

An initial move NW revealed Lewwyn's warrior. Since we're at war, I decided to conservatively retreat S to the forested hill.




Back home, I followed the worker plan even though every instinct told me to chop. You can also see where Lewwyn moved his scout.




Turned off tech as ordered. No7 settled their second city this turn. I'm guess their city names are anagrams for something. Or some silly cryptic puzzles. If only I cared enough to figure it out.

One side of demographics, coming up...

[NobleHelium]

SIGH. The worker plan was changed because we didn't road the PH south of the capital. You were supposed to be chopping this turn. Didn't you see that the worker plan kind of didn't apply at all?

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Follow worker plan: Get shouted at.

Don't follow worker plan: Get shouted at.

[Gaspar]

Follow worker plan: Get shouted at.

Don't follow worker plan: Get shouted at.

Welcome to Gasparville, population 1 - only guy willing to team with NH.

[NobleHelium]

No, you see, he insisted that we change the plan by not roading on the PH. Then he forgets we changed the plan and follows the old plan.

It's okay, I told him he needs to come up with the new plan since he fubared it. Surely he won't mess up his own plan, right?
