Gaspar and Lewwyn listen to backseat drivers Brick and Noble

[Lewwyn]

I admit to being frustrated with the situation, and I don't want to lash out too much. Some may say that Cornflakes is only being helpful. I don't know if such PMs happened or if AT is just a curious bird who continuously logs in, which might be the case. But he did gift his single source of horses even after I gave him OB after he DOWed to move his scouting WB through my culture.

Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe SD's position is so far gone that it won't matter. But it sure doesn't feel that way. If he gets a bunch of Numids now after we denied him and it stops our conquest of Hadrum I'm going to be furious.



We have 7 units outside Hadrum now and 2 chariots finishing in cities that can hit next turn. Not bad. I expect at least 1 Numid in Hadrum next turn due to At logging in accepting the horse this turn and then cornflakes logging in after that to accept the horse and set the builds to finish before ending turn. Seems pretty orchestrated to me. Yeah I wouldn't mind a lurker asking for clarification in SD's thread about that.

Demos:



Are we still in the mix? You tell me. Good old 7th in land area there.

19 cottages and hamlets now. Only 1 cottage not being worked because Poltroon was whipped, but regrows EOT.

And yes, obviously we can't stop SD from quitting.  But he needs to learn that joining every game then dropping them when he feels like it is not acceptable.  He has no business joining that new RtR game and should not be allowed to join any new games until some of his current games end.  It'll be better for him in the long run if he learns this lesson as well, and I mean that sincerely.

From what we see it doesn't look like there was any kind of communication about that horse deal. Of course we could push some more, but it seems legit so far.

I also want to say that such a PM would violate the AI diplo rule in my opinion.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Ok I am really an idiot and all I wrote just now is horseshit since apparently I am illirterate and cannot tell yes from no... there was no pm, all is good

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Just to clarify,

NO PM NO PM NO PM

NO BAD THINGIE HAPPENED

EVERYTHING IS OK AND THERE IS NO RULE VIOLATION AND THERE WILL BE NO DRAMA TODAY EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE LURKERS WANTED DRAMA, PERHAPS ME INCLUDED BUT SOME MORE THAN ME SO NO DRAMA TODAY KIDDOS

NO PM NO PM NO PM

[NobleHelium]

I mean, I'd say there was already drama today. Perhaps your appetite wasn't fully satiated though.

Also I logged in to check things and we are working an insane number of forests. Gaspar would probably faint if he saw this because things would look a lot different if I was the one playing the game. (Although I just remembered that we recently completed HG so the new HG pop should be exempted.)

We are due to take over the culturally contested GFH in about 6 turns. We'll take over the plains forest next turn.

[Lewwyn]

Late I'm tired and have to get up in 5 hours, so I'll have to give a report tomorrow, but we took Hadrum and decided to keep it instead of raze. Living on the edge. We offered peace we'll see if he takes it.

[NobleHelium]

Nice. Jowy crashed the server about ten minutes after I logged off.

[Lewwyn]

Fuck there was a numid in the fog it looks like. Should have just razed it, or should have left the other chariot in the city instead of poltroon.

[Lewwyn]

Seriously fuck AT
