[Spoilers] It's time to play the music

I just updated the scores in the player tracker. I'm not keeping tabs on what techs people are getting, but we know that Commodore got a classical tech on t60 just before grabbing Colossus, so that was most likely Maths. TBS probably got one on t73 or 74, REM got one this turn and Pindi probably got one t72 or 73. I wonder who went for Alphabet and who went for Maths or something else?

Other anomalies were:
- Turn 68 - 2Metra's score went up by 20 points - Tech is worth multiples of 6 points so it can't be a bulb. Wonders are worth 17.86 points so it can't be a wonder. Pop is worth 3.9 points so it could have been capturing a size 5 barb city.
- Turn 71 - REM's score went up by 15 points while he was logged in which must have been a size 4 barb city.

Here are thumbnails in the current scoreboard order. Let me know if anything doesn't add up:

Well, REM's classical was probably not Alphabet otherwise we could have seen the OB trade option before we got Alphabet ourselves, and ditto Commodore.

REM got his this turn just like us. We can figure it out from the power graphs if we put eps back on him...

Found Pindicator's borders and offered OBs. No reason for him to accept, but fingers crossed.


Offered REM a gold-Ivory trade. No reason for him to accept, but fingers crossed.


We don't have a trade connection to Commodore yet because Fozzie isn't linked. If we can log in before him next turn we can complete the road and then I think we can offer OBs for a happy resource.


Scooter will be settled next turn. I think it's another 12 turns before Harappan grows, if the city isn't building a worker.


Bunsen overflows from a Granary into a Vulture who will accompany a chariot down to Ainu to see what he can see.


Demos are again sufficiently pleasant to show smile.

Drunk turn! Empty diplo from Pindi - any ideas what that means before I declare war to get the WB through his culture?


I completed the road to Fozzie which gave us a trade connection to Commodore, and I thought that if he had a spare happy resource we could trade that for OBs, but no. In fact he's sorely lacking resources (or has already traded them away). I guess we just let him declare to get through?


I decided to hold off declaring on Pindi this turn - we're going to get sailing eot and then I could offer a gold for OBs (if REM hasn't taken the ivory-gold trade I offered last turn). The work boat stayed where it was.


Settling Scooter cost 5gpt and brought in 2bpt (at 70%), but once it hits size 3 I think it'll pay off.


Demos. You know you only get to see these when they are goooooooood.

Civ IV's MP diplo screen sucks?

I snuck in at the turn roll to give Pindi my best offer before I went to bed. Annoyingly he has gold already so the best I could offer was horse.


Looks like he accidentally accepted then declared war to cancel the deal, so we sneak through and are at war with him and Commodore right now. Anyway Clinton is Pindi's second - Stonehenge - city.


REM didn't have a power increase when he got his classical tech, so it couldn't be Alphabet or Maths. So was it just a border pop 20 turns before or Aesthetics or Monarchy? I'm deliberately trying not to look at the cities uncovered with the map trade so it's hard to figure out.

Lots of research gets us Masonry this turn. We'll also have four or five cities growing.


Looking at GNP for the available techs only one of the people we've met has Maths already. I'd guess IW is TBS or Pindicator while Maths is likely to be REM. If so he's been on Calendar for four turns already while we have 200 beakers of Maths left to research. Question is: Do we abandon Calendar and switch to Aesthetics/Literature for SoZ and the Great Library?

In other news 2metra got a pretty late Pyramids Golfclap.


And we've got a 0.5% chance of losing a chariot and two workers.

I'm so confused...

Thanks for paying attention! His 12 point increase must have been growing 3 pop points or land from 20 turns before. In that case we don't know if the player with masonry and maths has sailing as well so we should probably go on with the MoM plan.
