Barry brings rainbows and sunshine to the world

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 90

MYKI just moved an Axe into Or, so there go any boating plans.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 92

Not much to report, no change on the pindicator front. Archer and growth in 2.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 93

A wild MYKI Galley appears!

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 94

MYKI offered peace, but there's nothing in it for you so I didn't see the point.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 96

We got a quest... I think we should go for it.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 97

Well this is interesting... pindicator offered peace this turn. Apparently he doesn't think he can take you on, at least not for the next 10 turns. MYKI has also been spamming peace offers pretty much every turn.

This actually gives you a few interesting options:
- Build/whip a Worker, offer peace to both just before it's done. Pro: 10 turns of freedom to hook up Wheat (more frequent whips) and chop a forest. Con: would probably be unable to do anything with the Worker after those 10 turns, might even have to disband.
- Whip out a Work Boat, offer peace to MYKI just before it's done. Pro: extra food (more frequent whips), can optionally go onto Worker afterwards and maybe get peace with pindicator later. Con: would be pillaged sooner or later.
- Build/whip a Galley, load up 2 troops and sneak attack MYKI's city of Or (which he has once again foolishly left empty). Pro: possible fun/catharsis. Con: MYKI might re-garrison the city in the next ~10 turns and it'd all be for nothing.

Started on the Work Boat option, but could still go in either of these three directions.

[Lord Parkin]

Well done on the unnecessary Archer whip upon your final login, that actually means fewer hammers in the short term and a slightly easier win for your rivals.

I guess that makes up for the AI Bonuses


AI has a build queue with about 30 archers in it, No Growth set, and wars with everyone. I just saved you like three minutes a day, you should be thanking me

[Lord Parkin]

It's really no effort to play; I can do other things while the game loads, then it takes all of 10 seconds to look at the situation and react.

I'm annoyed because right after I make a post showing a few mildly interesting things that could be done in the ~15-20 turns before you're eliminated, you show up and revert all that. Note also that you played T97 differently than it had been played in the screenshot above, clearly breaking the same rule we just had a colossal problem with last turn.

Making an executive decision to revert your civ to AI is not acceptable, and not just because of the build bonuses. Just because you personally are unwilling to spend the tiny amount of time it would take over the next couple of weeks to finish the game honorably, does not mean you have the authority to purposefully handicap the civ and leave it to die.

I feel like you've given the middle finger to both me and the game by your actions over the past few minutes.

[Barry Lyndon]

Ah, forgot that this was the reloaded turn- genuinely sorry about playing differently, then.


Less sorry for turning over to the AI. Building Archers is all anyone would have done, and I honestly thought I was doing you a kindness by freeing you up from having to log into the game every turn as yet another person, especially since you were complaining about having to do that in the tech thread. I did not mean to demean your effort nor snuff out your secret pleasure.


As for handicapping the civ, have you seen it?


Not to mention those 1-pop scout whips earlier...
