[spoiler] Ruff v COVID (and other political topics)

[Ruff_Hi]

No, you don't. I just changed your color to #17

Logging in now ... will let you know

Edit: Be uuu tiful!

more to come.

Scooter found me.  He has different tech than I do ... I wonder how much extra beakers I will get.



Red, lovely red!

Fun Fact: Constitutional republic is not America's first form of government. Initially the colonies joined together under the Articles of Confederation. After several years of dysfunction (nearly collapsing), the constitution was drafted based on the "lessons learned" in order to provide a more functional government.

Cornflakes - thanks for chipping in. I like your fun fact. When is the next reset of government types? How long does the current version need to be dysfunctional?

Resets happen pretty often, actually. Jackson -> Lincoln -> Roosevelt -> possibly Johnson? 

Certainly, the current government would confuse any signatory of the Constitution. But I doubt that's all that unusual, a government designed to rule the English along a narrow strip North America wouldn't be expected to look like a multi-ethnic continental empire.

Oops - forgot to finish my last turn.  Could have played another at 8pm last night

Finished last turn ... and now this turn too.  I double moved everyone!!!!!

Edit: Knowing scooter gave me nothing for mining.  I put 11 beakers into it each turn up to #4 ... and 11 beakers during turn #5.  Either the known tech bonus is broken or it got rounded away.

- Absolutely YES, black lives matter! ... but all lives of any color (including unborn life ) matter.

I agree that all lives matter ... and those are easy words to say ... and easy words to add to (as you have above, as the BLM have, etc). But look at the actions ... police have lots of political support, reduced liability, white people are handled very differently when arrested than black people (I assume you have seen that video of a white man carrying an assault weapon compared to a black man carrying an assault weapon).

I support the BLM movement because it is obvious that we (the general we) treat black lives as if they don't matter ... and this has to change.

You mentioned abortion ... people get bent out of shape about the whole abortion angle, but completely pass on providing the same level of protection for infants, for people living in bad situations, for providing save housing for people. Finally, with executions being in the news lately, I also don't understand a country that kills its citizens.

[Ruff_Hi]

This turn only ... I have two things to move. First is the existing scout, second is a completed work boat. Next turn it will net the fish
and we will be off and running!

[Ruff_Hi]

Back down to one unit to move ... scout across my land as above. New territory next turn.

Fish netted, growth to size 2 in 3 turns, staying on the warrior. I could have started a worker (9) but extra grown will bring that down to 8 turns ... in 3 turns ... but I can revolt to slavery and whip the worker to completion.

Who is the blue team?

Don't answer that!

I will tell you next turn.



(you can see my scout NW of the cows)

[Ruff_Hi]

Who is the blue team?

It is Scooter.  His writing isn't very blue.  Stupid, inconsistent game.



And as a lesson for future players ... last turn I ended with 21 food in my 22 hamper ... 1 short.

Several turns ago, I put 2 extra hammers into a workboat working a 2h, 1f tile ... when I should have worked a 1h, 2f tile ... and picked up that extra food.  I would be size 2 this turn and winning leading the game ... there are, currently, no size 2 cities.

You know what colour red and blue do together? PINK. I demand a settlement on the stone.

But more seriously, how do you feel about being so close to another player? Is it important that this player is scooter?
