Hey Makeo: Your Capitals are falling

November 14, 2000, 20:49

I hope you arrived stateside safely. Check in so we know you're alive. I miss you already *sob* but finbar, Deity and Hydey don't miss you

But life goes on. You might tell your mum that we have a few games where she could fill in for you. Tell her we won't be rude to her this time because we now know it isn't you in drag

------------------
Grrrr!!

Is that all you have to say

Btw, I'm replaying that duel.

------------------
Grrrr!!

Makeo · November 15, 2000, 20:36

Who with? From what point in time?

November 16, 2000, 00:17

I'm replaying it from the time when Hydey dropped out - I want see how things turn out if I play it differently. Also, its giving me feedback on what it was like to play on your side. It is still an interesting game. Finbar played the first session. This time I built Sun Tsu, instead of leaving it for your side

------------------
Grrrr!!

finbar · November 16, 2000, 02:20

And you only built it because I hadn't realised it hadn't been built! Trying to familiarise myself with the game, I didn't notice in my first turn. Next turn, I realised it and built it, but you'd just done the same thing. Bugger. I should've taken a minute or two more to look around when I started.

Makeo - seeing you're over there, could you offer to solve the election debacle for them by offering to toss a coin in the true Australian way? You could even offer Bush and Gore best of three?

Well you're not building Sun Tsu is pretty realistic for what I want beacuse I had the option to build it in the duel but chose not to. I built it 2nd turn in this time. Makeo built it some time after that in the first game.

Grrrr!!

Yeah, I understand the purpose of the replay. It astonished me that someone hadn't built it before that date. That's probably why I didn't check during my first turn. I just assumed. Silly me.

Well the game was a very strange one. It started out with Hydey, me and, believe it or not, Makeo's mum

playing. Interestingly Makeo's mum also chose Aztec - must be a family thing. There were also 4 Ai civ.

Makeo's mum only played one session and then Makeo took over his mum's civ but found he was boxed in on a narrow peninsula with only 3 cities, one of which the barbs got I think, at the heel of the Horse Empire (the good guys in this story

).

Makeo said he couldn't make a go of it as Aztec so Hydey and I said he could take over one of the Ai civs. But Hydey got pissed off when makeo chose the Japanese which Hydey said he was about to attack (God knows with what). I, ahem, then absorbed the Aztecs and makeo took out the Indians, most of the French and the Persians.

Makeo then started a war with me by tech stealing and when Hydey lost a city to the barbs, makeo bribed it. Hydey got very annoyed about that and demanded it back. When makeo didn't give it back straight away, Hydey announced he was leaving the game. I asked Hydey to give me his cities because makeo would crush me once he got Hydey's cities cheaply as an AI civ. Hydey agreed and gave me all his cities except his capital which he couldn't pass over.

That was the situation in 1610 when the game turned into a "duel". As for Sun Tsu, firstly the game wasn't a duel up to that point and we were all busy doing other stuff. Whilst makeo was off warmongering, for example, I built Leonardo's and Statue of Liberty as well as conquering the Aztecs.

Any Questions?

Whats happening with this duel?

finbar · November 24, 2000, 23:24

We haven't done any more since that one session referred to above. In fact, very little civ has been played for some reason.

And I'm off o/s for 4 weeks in about 10 days.

That isn't true

Hydey played the second session. He built Magellans, which should be quite interesting because in the game with you makeo, you had Sun Tsu and I had Magellans. I have the Lighthouse this time

Chaos, panic and disorder - My work here is done.

finbar · November 25, 2000, 20:05

Sorry about that. As always, I'm the last to know.

Edit. Oh, and having missed out on Sun Tzu during my brief involvement, I was going to build Magellan's.
