[spoilers] Pindicator and Regoarrarr - Bismark of Ethiopia

[NobleHelium]

I think it's pretty funny that Apathy Island abbreviates as AI...

Yeah, I initially read it as "once the last AI city goes down," a jab at Yuri's defense.

[regoarrarr]

Looks like Commodore got a 24 point tech this turn - I'd assume either Education or Printing Press. I wonder who was the "culprit"

Turn has rolled

[pindicator]

Let's try to sell whichever one it is to Krill. 300 + 50gpt was what he asked for in game, right?

Never thought of the initials in that regard.

Well, we may have been too quick to judge Nakor.



Scooter is the more likely candidate and if he's the one who did trade it around to everyone then maybe the tech meta-game is as simple as "don't trade with scooter"

Which we kind of want to do anyways, since he's the tech leader.....

Of course the other meta-strategy would be "Trade first with scooter, and then trade his tech around to everyone else before he can "

Commodore got Printing Press from someone last turn (either Nakor or Scooter), and this turn we offered it to Krill for 400g + 55gpt

Okay I'm ready to play the turn whenever. I think I've got our 7 universities down in 8 turns (which is the current time to build it in More Cowbell, the Oxford city). It does require interrupting our Bank build in Church Lady, but I think that's probably worth it.

We'll get Divine Right in 6t and can start on Spiral Minaret, so that's a good timeline for trying to procure our stone.

No counteroffer from Krill (bet he's waiting on Commodore to log in). No other tech discoveries / trades this turn

[pindicator]

Getting on the bus soon, i was given a couple of tasks right at 5. Second day in a row they did that to me. Probably be home and chatting in 45min

Maybe if these talks go on for a bit we can start including stone in the deal with krill

[regoarrarr]

Well judging from CivStats, it looks like Commodore did take Monlyth. Also, he must have counter-offered Krill, because Krill logged in a bit later and got a 24 point increase (I assume Education)
