Here's the story of a second-place man with some decent potential. Even though I'm in third for soldiers I'd be a lot happier if I was second place (I think poor TBS is first, ironically). AT is feeling restive, and Cairo won't be happy at all about my latest settlement. Can't afford new cities anyway, so...

As a note, the Cornflakes/TBS war is still dragging on, notably rippling power levels, but TBS is friends with Cairo now.

I'm appropriately nervous, yes.

AT asked for OB. I don't need the routes (at all), but I get the impression he wants to monitor what I've got. I'll give him 3gpt for peace of mind.

Oh, but if he feels like I'm not respecting him/defending, he'll wack me.

Thoughts on the map so far? Things to improve, ect
"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow. [Image: noidea.gif] In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."

Takes me back to my first game, PBEM 19. That was a wheel where I came in second, too.

Back up to 40% break-even, need to make more cities.

Down to third place in cities with TBS getting to EIGHT CITIES AFTER GETTING DOGPILED AND LOSING TWO.

Assuming I win the coinflip for Hinduism, I really hope it's Olymipia for borders, but Spokane is okay.

Am I just not seeing settlers on the map? I certainly don’t see any in production...

Bruh. Just, chillax. Have to grow a bit, and you can't grow while settler-building (timing chops and overflow, Spokane and Seattle and Olympia will all be able to 2t the next wave for Stone Island, Seatle Southeast, and East Coast.

On another point, I need to publically found Hinduism to force Scooter to stop lollygagging on his Oracle build.

Meanwhile, me:

Also, I'm now top power in the game because units are growable and I didn't have libraries available.

Correction, 10 cities. TBS is great at this game.

Meanwhile, I'm just over here happy to be winning 3-in-4 shots...

...and other hard-to-say odds:

Yo Scooter, stop sandbagging Oracle. Meanwhile, glad to have a good border pop on my creative borders.
