Since not that much is going on, lets do something random as I have the custom of doing:
Random Interesting Story of the Day (RISOTD):
Quote:Hero of the Soviet Union recipient T. Kuznetsov survived the crash of his Il-2 in 1942 when shot down returning from a reconnaissance mission. Kuznetsov was able to escape from the wreck and hide nearby. To his surprise, a German Bf 109 landed near the crash site and the pilot began to scrounge around the wrecked Il-2 for souvenirs. Thinking quickly, Kuznetsov ran to the German fighter and used it to fly home, barely avoiding being shot down by Soviet fighters in the process.[18]

See, noobs get their rides jacked just like in Battlefield.

Party at Parkin

TT and Parkin. If Parkin doesn't block with his warrior 1 SE and doesn't have anything at his cap, it might be GG if TT just holds the turn. Parkin logged in while I was playing so it should be fun if there is an elimination message in 2 turns.

Quote:me: I hope TT isn't going to be annoying the whole game 
11:15 AM LP: Likewise
He has some pretty insane land over there though
11:16 AM me: like what
I had to go around him
LP: food, flood plains and gold galore
11:17 AM you couldn't have missed it
me: it makes you wonder why he decided to zerg you instead of me
LP: attempt at fame? dunno
11:18 AM me: kill the uber farmer?
LP: maybe
me: I dunno, did he grow to size 2 on that warrior?
11:20 AM LP: he's been at size 1 all game so far
early workers/settlers for those city sites I presume
11:21 AM me: huh
LP: he may have grown on T24, haven't worked it out yet... definitely not before
11:22 AM me: so worker settler?
LP: T23 rather
or worker worker, or worker worker settler
me: well if he grew then its worker warrior settler
11:23 AM that's about what my timing war was a 3 food tile
LP: maybe. He's got a 2 hammer capital tile.
So will develop faster
me: hmmm
11:24 AM didn't factor that in
11:27 AM LP: well if he starts to pull away too far with that great start and insane surroundings, at least he's conveniently located between us...
me: are you suggesting something ?
11:29 AM LP: meh, see how it plays out... the lay of the land seems to naturally encourage the possibility though
11:30 AM no particular desire for any civ to sit by a neighbour with amazing land teching at an insane rate...
11:31 AM guaranteed death in the long term
me: I hope you got the full irony of that statement considering who you are talking to
11:34 AM LP: Sure...  Situation's reversed here though, I have a start that probably ranks as one of the in the game next to a guy who has one of the best.
*one of the worst
11:35 AM me: I guess
btw, is there anyone to your east?
LP: many
me: anyone contact you?
LP: you have to go south to get to them though
me: erg treez
LP: HitAnyKey, Xenu, and by the diplo thread also Plako and Mackoti at minimum
11:36 AM given who's talked about meeting who
11:38 AM me: hmmm, I haven't been following the diplo thread that much except when people get mad at me for forgetting to end turn
LP: I just skimmed through. Lots of talk about Plako killing HitAnyKey's scout, hard to miss.
11:39 AM Your scout has some XP by the way
11:40 AM me: ? he attacked it?
11:41 AM LP: I did 
me: why, I was just watching
LP: always war, figured I could use the XP... turns out you got it
me: you shoulda taken the coin flip on the warrior
LP: I did
11:42 AM won the 50%, lost the 80% against the scout :P
me: lol
LP: Elvis is clearly THE MAN.
me: plz don't kill him
11:43 AM I just want ot make friends
11:45 AM LP: won't go chasing him if he doesn't hang around
just protecting my capital
