[SPOILERS] scooter, pindicator, and Huayna Capac try some fast Zulu cuisine

[NobleHelium]

We just explained that. You really should actually read the thread if you're trying to lurk.

[Qgqqqqq]

So you did.
COuldn't said two mover then take the nearby city on the corn peninsula? (Which presumably is too small and unprepared to whip defenders in the turns difference)

Thank you for the, err, kind advice

[pindicator]

Is india playing clock games with us?
Its not worth it imo, i'm playing as soon as i get home. But i won't be home until the timer enda and i don't want to ask for a pause yet b/c i want to see if they are playing clock chicken

We already played last last turn so by default we get the second half if there is contention.

[NobleHelium]

Just read the tech thread. I don't understand Jester's post - they'll be last to end turn and be first to play (the next turn)? Do we need arbitration here?

[scooter]

In the interest of transparency, I just sent this PM to CFCJester, Nakor, Pindicator, and Noble:

CFCJester - I just saw your post in the tech thread and I'm a little confused. We have been waiting for you to play your turn, because we're avoiding a double-move. We have played behind you in the split for a couple turns, and we're keeping that pattern as we move into war turns. Us moving first this turn would be a double-move.

So, we're waiting for you guys to play. Is this a problem? Reply-all if you don't mind so that everyone is in the loop here.

Thanks!

I don't want it in the tech thread as that's spoilery, but it needed to be done. Hopefully this can get sorted out easily.

Yay for players having wits about them.

Looking forward to the turn report.

Also for lurker's benefit - we have purposely played after them for several turns now because we wanted to be careful here. The main reason for wanting to be after them is actually because that's been our arrangement with Commodore. At some point here Commodore will probably re-declare on us, which would result in a messy Commodore-us-Jester split of 24 hours if we didn't get into the second half. This is just much cleaner and simpler. Besides, we've been observing a split with Commodore even in peacetime too just to be safe.

This was also just really bad timing. Ideally I would've sent that message hours ago, but I got tied up. I don't expect this to be much of an issue, my experience with Nakor is he's super reasonable about turn split and being flexible.

[scooter]

Alright, maybe it won't be so reasonable.

Attack and be done with it. We made our moves already. I am going to end turn after you attack.

Hm? If your moves are made, I'm not sure I understand why you cannot end turn then?

[NobleHelium]

Krill, please check with them and make sure they realize that they can't do things like whip after we move, thanks.
