[SPOILERS] Team My Little Marathon Cannibal Pony on another PG-13 adventure!

[Halvgud]

Our starting moves look very simple. With our Settler we settle in the spot and with our scout we move NE(9) - NE(9) to the hill and see what the scout explores. And we start on Hunting so we can camp that deer. With all the tiles to improve, we start a worker and then a warrior for garrison.

Naming convention: How are we going to name our units?

1. Build worker
2. ???
3. Profit.

I agree with starting moves and tech.

Naming units... Good question. I know there are other threads that honor dedlurkers with names. Since we have a Pony team name, would you strongly object to naming workers/warriors with MLP names? There are an awful lot of those. Or.. oh, oh, oh, we could go with the cannibal theme and name them after famous cannibals! But there are not many famous cannibals..

Do you have a particular convention in mind? We could name warrior units after our beloved (de(a)d)lurkers for instance?

In case we strongly disagree on names, we could do something simple/democratic;
*You name the first unit
*I name the second, etc..

I saw the open story thread and wrote this. Would like your approval/comment before posting:

"I have a dream." he said, looking over his listeners. They stared at him. "Another?" said the first listener in a tired voice. "Was man flying like bird again?" said another with a leer, getting chuckles for his witty comment. A dull *thud* brought him facedown in the dirt by the club of the dreamspeaker. "I do not have a dream so you laugh when I share. I have a dream for all of us. For many of us. Many like the skyglitter at night. Many like sand in hand." They looked at him. Some with reverence, others with envy, still others kept on eating, indifferent to the speaker while they could feed. As dreamspeaker made his tale it was clear that this was no ordinary dream. This was a hint of something larger, grander, bigger even than the stone phallus they revered as their god. Some laughed, some listened. In the end, he had a following. A small group that he led onwards for many moonturns. One day, they came to the long grass by the sea.

"Here." said the dreamspeaker. "Here we will dream together. Live together. See tomorrow together. This is the place from my dream. This is where we build our home."

That looks good to post.

[Halvgud]

So... about that naming convention?

[classical_hero]

So workers can be MLP characters.

Our password is: cannibal

I have played the turn and we settled on the spot.

We have within our capital 3 food resources and we have started Hunting in 6 turns and a worker in 15 turns. WE are currently working the pig and getting 3 food and one commerce. We also have a spice to the west of us, so we have our first happiness resource.

I moved the scout NE twice (9) and this is what we have found.

So we have two rivers close by and we have some flood plains to the east of us, which looks like the next spot for a city, but we need to explore more first before we make up our minds. I propose our next move for the scout to be E-SE (6-3) and see what we have from there. The two bodies of water beside the one next to our capital are both 2 food meaning they are lakes not open water.

For units I am thinking we should name them after wrestlers.

Good opening game post!

I was wondering what scout 7-8 would yield, but seeing the way that the lake is flowing, it may be a stunted path with retracing of steps wasting valuable scouting time. 6-3 is good.

Shall we change login name to "Cannibal Pony"?

Workers: MLP characters
Army: Wrestlers (WWE/WWF/WCW/RAW/etc..)
Spies/Missionaries/GreatPersons: dedlurkers!

One problem I have is that being in a few PB games it is eas for me to forget. i will try to use that login name, but i doubt i will always do it.
