Get a move on, capitalist running dogs.

Silence! All failures are the failure of the collective!

And on that note - dedlurker checking in! I think PBEM 26 has demonstrated the "value" of my advice, but I'll be cheering for you anyway.

Have some Juche smile.

So...Mao of Babylon. Mao I think I can figure out (Build More Workers!), but what's to know about Babylon?

Welcome aboard Mardoc, though suggesting that Kim has anything on Mao means you're getting sent to a collective farm for 30 years. wink

I'll do the usual review posts in a moment. Need to finish this bottle of #9 first. In the interim ...

Oh yeah, if you're playing in the greens game you can't read vets spoiler threads either, in case that isn't clear.

I'm going to do my usual comprehensive preview later on, but as I was prepping for such I had the following thought. This is an excellent field. Take a look at this:

SevenSpirits:
PBEM6 - Winner
PBEM19 - Winner
PBEM23 - Currently in 1st, presumptive favorite

novice:
PBEM13 - Winner
PBEM17 - Leader prior to shenanigans, in neck and neck space race post-shenanigans.
PBEM23 - Currently in 1st, presumptive favorite

Team Total - Somewhere between 3 and 5 wins

mackoti:
PBEM9 - Winner
PBEM10 - Winner
PBEM18(v) - Winner
PBEM23 - Currently in 2nd of 6
PBEM24 - Presumptive winner
PBEM25 - Too early to tell
FFH8 - Presumptive favorite
PB4 - Somewhere between 4th and 8th, depending on who you ask

Team Total: Somewhere between 3 and 5 wins

Lewwyn:
PBEM6 - 2nd of 6
PBEM14 - Probably 4th, though one could make an argument for anything between 3rd and 5th of 5
PBEM18(v) - 2nd/3rd of 4
PBEM21 - Presumptive favorite
PBEM22 - Presumptive favorite
FFH14 - Too early to tell
PB6 - Too early to tell

Team Total: Somewhere between 0 and 2 wins

vs.

Gaspar:
PBEM12 - 3rd of 6
PBEM14 - 1st (tie)
PBEM24 - 3rd of 4
PBEM26 - Too early to tell I suppose
FFH7 - 4th of 6
FFH17 - Too early to tell
PB4 - Somewhere between 4th and 8th, depending on precisely when you stop counting

NobleHelium:
PBEM21 - Presumptive favorite
FFH8 - Hard to say

Team total: Somewhere between .5 and 1.5 wins.

Really a hell of a field. We certainly look like the patsy in the game from the outside.

Well done! As the first threadmaker, here's your reward:

Caveats of "might change stuff" still apply. Settler has mobility, sentry, and is on a road (just the one tile). World size small, difficulty Prince.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.

Thanks, Commodore. thumbsup Now if you can just send us a dedlurker well-versed in C&D, we'll be all set. wink
