[SPOILER]Ruff plays PBEM - who knew?

[Ruff_Hi]

Hmm - even my own browser is now reporting my web page as a phishing site. I was uploading a new report and noticed that the date on some of my files shows thr 14th (yesterday). I didn't do anything to them then. I looked at the html and saw some strings that I didn't put in there.

I've deleted my whole web site. I can reupload them from my PC (c drive) but I have some questions first. Anyone around to answer some? T-Hawk?

Same thing happened to me on dos486.com last year, twice. I changed the password on the web hosting account and it didn't happen again. I had clean copies locally to reupload.

Why not just post and report here, though?

[Ruff_Hi]

I've moved my hosting ... well, actually, I just created a new account ... and uploaded my local html files. I could report here but I have knocked together some interactive screenshots that give the interested reader access to a whole bunch of standard screenshots (all interesting graphs, city displays, current map, etc). I could do that here with spoilers but I really like the method I am currently using.

[T-hawk]

Neat ideas, but I think you're losing more audience than you're gaining. I've only bothered to navigate to your site once or twice since I was covering turns for you, and judging by the lack of any other lurker participation in this thread, I'm probably not alone.

[Ruff_Hi]

Fair enough. Here my latest turn report ... small but I think they add up over time.

I open the save and I am greeted with an invasion proposal ...



Declined! Pindo has a warrior heading my way and I don't want him to start thinking that he can just scout me out for free.

This turn was generally moving warriors around. Bunch of Fruit (must remember to rename that city next turn) will have warrior coverage next turn. TBB is also set to grow and then it will be working on 3-Turn workers for a while.

Meanwhile ... my circumnavigation counter is down to 5.

Agree with t hawk, Id rather read here anyway

[Ruff_Hi]

Well, then lets try posting a few turn reports here and see what reaction I get ...

PBEM45v - Banana Man - Turn 64: 1440BC

Snap. Circumnavigation bonus here I come (at the end of this turn).

Pindo and Stupendous settled their differences ... but I don't expect Stupendous to forgot that city razing.

Rego and Pindo warriors are getting close to my borders ... I am finishing my first chariot at the end of this turn - that should crimp any aggressive thoughts they might have.

Player	Score	Land	Tiles*	Techs	Cities	Population	Wonders
Rego	244 (+4)	41	69	14	5	13 (+1)	1
Stupendous	243 (+4)	32	52	12	3	9 (+1)	4
Ruff	223	45	53	9	4	13	1
Pindicator	221 (+15)	30 (+4)	62	13 (+1)	5	15	1
Scooter	201 (+4)	27	45	12	4	13 (+1)	1

Hmm. No viruses..check..part of the BUG team..check..friends with Lemon Merchant..check (if not you be dumb bro)..sorry , been drinking so forgot the question. Seriously, (although I was absolutely serious about LM being the bomb), you do have dedicated lurkers (I am one - haven't updated my signature though) who want you to win this thing.

P.S. I only play BUFFY/BAT or BUG mod (except multiplayer..damn RB is backwards..no BUG mod )

PBEM45v - Banana Man - Turn 64: 1440BC

A land unit stronger than a 2-str warrior? I don't believe that this world has every seen anything more devistating. And he gets a funny name too ...



And his first task ... cover those 'invading' warrior types ...



Now - keep in mind that Rego has OBs with me (but I can cancel them). Pindo has requested OBs but I turned him down pending what he does with his warrior. So far (as you can see), they are keeping away from my borders.

TBB will be spending the next 9 ... 12? ... 15? turns on 3-turn worker builds. That should give me a work force that will totally be able to cover my cities. Meanwhile, I am within 3 turns of finishing maths (+50% hammers from forests), BS is building a settler that will be speed up by various forests, BP is probably going to move onto a second galley ... and BoF (finally remembered to rename it) is in growth mod and is aiming to be a hammer monster - well, as much of a hammer monster as you will get on this map. I need more commerce cities.

Speaking of galleys, my Galley Scoop is mapping out some of my(!) islands while the two intrepid workboats are seeking out Rego and Scooter for trade routes (Edit: I actually get trade routes with Scooter at the end of this turn once BoF expanded its border).

Pindo retreated while Rego fortified. Interesting. I offered Pindo OBs - I hope he understands that does not include free scouting - we'll see.
