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

[classical_hero]

Here is a little story I wrote in the style of the wrestling world about some barbarian action. I hope you like it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Let's get ready to rumble. In one corner we have Hulk Hogan, the Hero of Pony Land (The Crowd roars). In the other corner we have a some lion (the crowd boos).
Billy Bob: I am excited about this match coming up.
Jethro: I am thinking that the lion is way underpowered in this match an that the Hulkster will win this easily.
BB: Well lets see if it turns out to be true. The two competitors eye each other in the ring. The ref gives the signal and the bell rings and we are off.
J: The lion knows he is the underdog in this match and thus he tries to get some early offence. But Hulk Hogan is just too smart for the lion and easily side steps the early offence of the lion and gives the lion a mighty right elbow.
BB:The lion will be dazed from that and will need time to recover. Al the while the Hulkster plays up to the crowd and he gets a cheap pop.
J: The crowd are loving it and right now they have seen just an easy beat down on the lion. Looks like my early prediction is paying off.
BB: Yeah, it seems like you are a modern Nostradamus.
J: Well it took no foresight to see just how powerful the Hulkster is compared to his opponent.
BB: We finally seeing some signs that the lion is getting out of his dazed state, but before the lion can get up, the Hulkster lays some more offence and it looks like this one is over with the lion seemingly down for the count and now we see the Hulkster now revs up the crowd for the end.
J: The crowd is going absolute nuts here and there he goes for the big boot and he connects and that is it. The ref counts to three and it is all over. Hulk Hogan easily defeats the lion and the crowd roars with it's delight.
BB: I am going to into the ring and have an interview with the Hulkster to get his thoughts on the victory. (He enters the ring). SO Hulk, how easy was the win.
HH: Well I knew if I could do what I do best, the lion stood no chance, brother.
BB: How does it feel to have such massive support from the PWF Universe?
HH: Oh brother, it is a great feeling to hear the crowd roaring like that. Brother, I just can't feel any energy any more. (HH goes to each side of the ring and cups his ears to get the crowd roaring again.) It works like a charm, brother.
BB: Well it look like we have a wrap from here.
J: Let's recap all the action that has happened so far. In the first match, via satellite we had a rather weak opponent, after what we assume was the same lion that had killed our beloved Commodore went up against our new scout, 7 of q, and he managed to vanquish the foe in almost a similar fashion. And in our under card for thing we saw Ric Flair face off against another lion who was suffering from an earlier victory against some masked warrior, but this lion won that fight and earned himself a challenge against Ric. But due to the earlier fight the lion was just not able to give as much as before and thus Ric flair was able to win, but not without having to put up a fight. So there you go ladies and gentlemen, from the world of Ponyland Wrestling Federation, we say goodbye after a successful night of action here. Stay tuned next week for more PWF action.

Good story! Go ahead with posting it

[classical_hero]

Here is what 7 of q has found in the past few turns. Some decent land, but mostly ice/tundra, but some goof tiles there.


Here is the demographics screen. Hopefully after we have built the Mids that our GNP starts to grow.


I have put RD and AJ to finish the desert tile and now we start to road towards the 3rd city site. FS is on the forest plain hill and will road that.

[Halvgud]

Pitboss disconnected while I took the turn so I don't know If my work was saved. RD/AJ moved north to work road towards city. FS working forest/hill. 7 of Q found even more tundra. André found nothin more.

[classical_hero]

Good thing I checked, since we needed to whip the capital for the settler. So that means we are back below 100. You should always check the whip to see if it is available.

We got a mail from Dinosaurs:

12.10.13 15:52

Dear Team mlmcp !
I sent an email regarding the NAP but not received an answer ... if our pact is up to date .. We look forward to answer any proposals by the Sumerians.
Did your scout go in the North and maybe he found a passage.

Sincerely Yours
Raptorous
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Dinosaurs Team

This was in response to their mail that went thus:

07.10.13 11:54

Sorry for delay.
NAP
We agree about NAP from that moment for turn 100 and renegotiate terms of further NAP.
We also propose 5 turns of peace even one of the team will broke this NAP or after end present NAP. That’s in case of preparing for a war…I think it is good for both team.
Spying
We declare to spy your nation but less than Team mlmcp spend on Us.
Exploration :
You could find a way on the north to pass …we don't know if is a passage there but you can try go there .
Border :
We agree about border of lake ..we won’t settle city form the east of lake.

Sincerely Yours
Raptorous
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Dinosaurs Team

Proposed response (not yet sent):

Sorry for delayed answer.

*Nap until turn 100
*5 turn mandatory peace after end of NAP, not DoW other team during those 5 turns
*renegotiation of NAP before turn 100

Do you wish to share where other teams are located to aid in the balance of esp?

Not able to pass northwest without crossing your borders, scout has moved opposite direction.

Lake is agreed. We look forward to dealing more with you dear neighbour.

Halvgud,
Diplomatic Attaché for Team Pony

I believe that we discussed the sending of a response, but the response itself was not sent. I have had a week of stress so it is likely on me that this has gone out of the loop. I must be honest and say that I feel like I am dragging our team down with my lack of support, input, and error upon error in-game. I am contemplating if it is best for me to leave this game to avoid causing grief and malcontent between us because I am not able to give it my all. On the other hand I really don't want to leave you alone in this now that we have come so far.

[classical_hero]

I would prefer you not to leave, since I know there will be times I won't be able to ply due to my health. to be honest we both have made mistakes and thus we should learn from them. I would say the biggest mistake was not prioritising which wonder we should go for. Normally I don't go for the Henge unless I have stone really close by or Industrious, but even then I might not go for it, but being Char was what put me over to thinking we should go for it, but that was a big mistake and we could have expanded in the time and gotten an early Mids that what we might get. We should not worry too much about making mistakes, but learning from those mistakes.

[Halvgud]

Then we learn, we move forward, we exterminate team dinosaurs if the chance presents itself. TBH we may have to, to get ahead in this game.

Unless you have objections I send the proposed message to team Dino later today when I get off work.

[classical_hero]

There is a land bridge to the north of us, just in between us and DT, so it is closer on our side of the agreement.

Do you think we should get help with another teammate or at least a dedlurker?

[Halvgud]

Message sent to Dinosaurs.

Calling for a possible dedlurker/teammate would be helpful I think. Shall we create a "Wanted: It could be YOU!" post in the forum?

Nice, making it difficult for them to pass by, until writing and OB.
