By anything, do you mean that we'll have our food resources replaced with peaks tiles, or that anything outside of the starting BFC could change. "Fog gazing is of the devil", etc?

Yes. Anything

Yes. Anything

Thanks. Well, this should be helpful then.

Xenu, Brick, sandbox stab #1.

Sorry, not a big Marley fan. I prefer my original suggestion of using causes for plane crashes, since that's what our empire will be. A series of failures. Here's a list I put together:

Capital
Pilot Error

The Rest
Maintenance Error
Mechanical Failure
Midair Collision
Decompression
Terrorism
Engine Failure
Icing
Shot Down
Rudder Failure
Explosion
Fire
Thrust Reversal
Pilot Malice
Electrical Failure
Design Error
Bird Strike
Fuel Exhaustion
Ground Collision (I prefer "Bad Taxi")
Hijacking
Instrument Failure
Runway Overrun
Sabotage
Unknown Cause
Volcano
Weather

Etc... Some of these would have to be changed to fit the 14 character limit, but I like the theme. It is a metaphor for our failure in qualifying for this game.

Also, not the best version of this song, but apropos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MEu1lznr3Y

Too dark for me. Brick, do you have an idea? Or, we can just leave the Byzantine names. That's better than plane crash causes. Seriously, Xenu, I want you to talk to a shrink.

It isn't that I like watching planes crash, I'm not a psychopath. But I do like this TV show because of the puzzle solving aspect of discovering the root cause:

If you like solving puzzles in an engineering (usually) kind of way, it's a good show. Also, it can make you very nervous during takeoffs and landings when you fly in the future.

Also, I thought up that naming scheme for a future game when I was on the flight back from Hawaii last week. So NYAAAAAAA.

Double post just for the hell of it. Looking at post counts, if I'm on another team and I see De Gaulle has this many posts already, and a map, and know that we're the only IND/mysticism combo, I'm thinking "They're hashing out a plan to get Henge. I am going to look somewhere else now". So, I think we don't gimp ourselves to win Henge and should instead go for a balanced approach that gets the wonder finished but also sets us up for rapid expansion after. Something like the last plan.

You are missing the most dangerous airplane hazard: runway incursion. Most likely way you can die on a plane!

No encouraging this theme. Too dark for me. How about some helpful suggestions from our lurker scum? That never goes badly. Anyway, I'm out of town over the weekend, so I can't provide adult supervision for Xenu and Brick. If the game gets going, someone prevent them from losing the game on T1 (that being the earliest possible time it appears that Brick could move the settler to the deer for our capital).

Suggested first turn, move the scout to the hill in the east to see if we can grab more goodies with the cap. If so, consider well. If not, SIP and get started fishing. Good luck! And remember, I'll be watching...
