true... point yuris to this posting afterwards: just imagine them being dead

[pindicator]

He didn't attack Commodore's destoyer. He just left them in the same spot another turn! This is one thing to leave him the boats to use against Comm's navy, but if they're just going to sit in port and mock me then it's like he wants me to burn them...

Well dear lurkers & friends, I didn't expect to have to ask for this (thought I'd be eliminated by now), but I am going to need a substitute between January 5-28 as I go on a trip to visit my brother in Malaysia. Is there anyone who doesn't mind logging in and playing in sandcastles while the titans fight among your cities?




It's a bit funny right now to watch Krill vs Commodore fight over control of our islands without actually fighting us. But one will try to use a city as a base for their aircraft and the other will try to kick them out. I'd say Commodore is winning, but Krill is also gifting us oil (which we still can't use) and luxuries, so I've been trying to feed him information on Commodore troop movements with cryptic diplo messages. (Though that's largely ineffective; he has airships after all.)

Meanwhile Thoth is building all the culture wonders on his own little island.

What is my goal? Right now I'm pushing for Corporation to try to push for better economy (wait, I have castles... oops), and then I'll grab Astronomy & Railroad. I would push for Railroad sooner but i have no natural coal. Really all I'm trying to do is build up economy and play in my sandcastle. At least until someone decides to knock it over. So not a very hard job if someone out there wants to play 5-10 minute turns while I'm away.

I can sub for you from Jan 5 - 28.

I did read a bit from other players' threads, but that was months ago now, and I don't remember much. So I am minimally spoiled.

I just need to download this version of RtR.

I appreciate that Magic Science, and I'm sure the other players here will appreciate you for it too.

There really isn't much to do:  just tech up, play sim city to the best of your ability, and hit enter.  We just played turn 216:




Keep open borders with everyone- most of our cities have more foreign troops than home-grown, and they could wipe us out the turn they felt it was to their advantage.  So my motto here is "dont' rock the boat".  Just building up and spending 5-10 minutes tops per turn.  I don't really even move the sentry boats around any more.

We finished Railroad and got a Mining, Inc exec.  I think that one will get spread around.  I did put Creative Contructions in Great Dane since that would compete with Commodore for culture.  Also, I need to try to ask for Coal off of someone for 10t so I can build railroads.  I don't seem to have any coal.  Commodore just sold me oil for copper, so it's possible i don't have oil either.  We'll find out here soon.

Sorry for the delay, I've sent this to Zulan but it's the weekend, I have no idea when this will be implemented.

(craziest tech thread I can recall, by the way)

Turn Order: Thoth --> Commodore --> Pindicator --> Krill.

Password: DogDays.

After Commodore plays this turn I will try to log in. If it works, then I will be ready to take over on the 5th. Sim City, resources, don't rock the boat, hit enter, you got it boss.

Thanks again Magic Science, that all looks fine.

It's possible the game will be done before I get back

[Magic Science]

PBSPY noticed something I did, but I didn't actually get into the game this time. I will troubleshoot and try again next turn, I guess.

[Magic Science]

I'm in. .

U.N. Secretary-General election: Thoth vs. Commodore. I abstained from the illegitimate two-party system in protest.

The rest of this turn I left for you.

One final good event in what is probably my last turn of this game:




I realize I didn't mention the workers.  I am workign towards a goal of preserves and National Parks + National Epic at Pinscher.  Will we get there by the end of the game?  Probably not.  But right now the 6 workers on that island are building railroads on lumbermills to improve production in Pinscher and Laika (Ironworks).  We might even think about chopping some 3rd ring cities for Pinscher as well.  After that then we need to build the preserves.  There are 2 more workers on the main island, that are building railroads on mines and probably could connect cities too.  Maybe the cities building machine guns would be better off making more workers - if you want to push that hard.
