SG3-Monarch Can't Hold Me!

[Gold Ergo Sum]

For those who didn't follow SG2-Wonders or Else!, Tatan, Nakor, and myself roughed up the Monarch AIs pretty bad. So now it's time to try our hand at Emperor. We could use an extra turn player or two. We move along pretty quickly. We got 325 or so turns played in four weeks, so this shouldn't be a SG that drags on too long. Lurker comments are again encouraged. But there won't be any variant this time, since Emperor is still pretty high up the skill level for us.

Players:
1. Gold Ergo Sum
2. Nakor
3. Tatan
4. Kyan
5. TT

I rolled four completely random starts in between watching the Heat v Celtics. The only setting is Vassal States off:



Zara of Germany:





Vicky of India:





Suryavarman of Greece:





Ghandi of Carthage:





Nakor has voted for Vicky of India. I like that start as well, but I am open to any of them.

[Nakor]

Great job, Gold Ergo Sum. I'm looking forward to this challenge.

[Serdoa]

Probably won't have time to actively play, but as lurker I would suggest you take something else then the Vicky start. Honestly, Financial Fast Workers on an irrigated corn, 2 gems start? Thats pretty much won right there.

GES, you should buy some lottery tickets...

[Tatan]

Ah, I can't resist a challenge. Here's to my schedule not locking up or anything.

I vote for Zara's Big Jumbo start. C'mon, are we really going to take the easy way out with gems again?

Seriously, though, I don't really have a preference.

[Kyan]

I'll play if you guys want another. I would vote for Vicky.

[Twinkletoes89]

I'm willing to join if you'll have me!

I'd vote for Gandhi start for a change

[Nakor]

Great to see more people joining us! The Ghandi start is an interesting one indeed!

[Gold Ergo Sum]

I actually rolled four other starts. One was a beastly "Ragnar of the Dutch" start that I realized later I had taken screenshots for but forgot to save. I rolled TWO Stalin starts, but we had just played with Stalin in the other SG. And I rolled a second Zara start, but we already had the earlier one.

GES, you should buy some lottery tickets...

It is hilarious that you say that. I've been lucky my whole life.

I was once selected out of a crowd at a basketball game to shoot for $5000 from half court. I missed by about 2 inches, but still.

I was once selected at a football game (with like 50k people) to win a free $500 gift card.

I've been to a casino once in my life to play poker and walked out with nearly $2000 after winning the 80 person poker tournament.

I had a full ride to college and a nearly full ride to law school.

I've had fellowships that paid for me to go to Thailand and study at Cambridge.

My mother always tells me that I was born with a horseshoe up my ass. Is that just a Kentucky colloqiualism?

Yeah it must be, in Britain you'd be a jammy *censored*! :-p
