High Priestess in Space - Succession Game

[Scouse Gits]

Nice one Vlad, such wisdom might tempt me to think you post like you play.

It's a monster. An hour a turn to play properly. The good news is that Fusion Power will be in next turn which will allow the launch. At war with everyone...especially the Russians who have started their own spaceship. Will post a log later.

Be wary, Vlad!
If you paint your post red, you must act like a torero in corrida and remember that the bull has long horns .

Guys, I will be away this weekend on a short vacation, and will be swamped with work when I get back. Thus, I propose that my turn be skipped, as the order is:

SG(2) (has the ball).
Hydey
STYOM
La Fayette
Vlad A.

Since H. and V. are so very eager, I humbly suggest they play after SG(2)

That's assuming that there is any playing left to do So, we're in a space race with the Russians, eh? One wonders why the Americans didn't nuke Moscow in 1957 and drop some paratroopers in, thus bringing Sputnik back to earth

STYOM

edit: La Fayette plays before Vlad Antlerkov

I don't think there will be too much action left
The Russians are no longer with us. Just need another hour (doing it right now) to tidy things up.

STYOM many thanks for managing the game during our extended vacation

Gulp! Not an easy situation to micromanage especially when every other city is called Lutefisk! Goes through empire on a name changing spree. Sell remaining granaries as we own the Pyramids. Interesting ship chain...there are around 16 transports in and around the waters of Salamis.
Noted that the Russians have also started a spaceship.

Turn luxuries down from 50% - 30%

All city improvements bought, all freights rushed.

Most excellent! Leave the boards for a month, come back and finish the game.

Any chance I can get you to post the file as a .ZIP so I can view on my lowly Mac?

[Scouse Gits]

As you requested -Jrabbit ...

May I add my congratulations (2) an elegant finish to an excellent game!!

SG[1]

[Scouse Gits]

do we still have doubters that refuse to believe that the Faithful can aspire to the stars (in the 19th Century) without accepting the soft 'democratic' ways of the West???

Thanks, SG [1]... I'll d/l tonight when I get home, assuming my daughter allows me some some screen time...

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

I have no business starting talk of a new succession game, as I will be really busy until November and probably not able to participate much... BUT...

Now that we have seen what it can be like to win by AC in Fundy, how about a new challenge in Democracy... except that the goal is conquest, no city bribe allowed, and only the only government switch allowed is Despo-Demo.

I remember how tricky the sticky senate game was when we were stuck in Despotism... that tricky period would last even longer before Democracy, would it not? Could be interesting...? Thoughts?

[Scouse Gits]

STYOM

Great ... you run the game and start things off when you have some time to play. I am very busy this week, but have an idea for another game which I will float later this month. I hope you will have time to join the action.

SG(2)

[-Jrabbit]

Sounds VERY challenging to me, STYOM -- thus of great interest. MGE please. No active successions that I can access at present.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

I'm up for a Demo-conquest game. (I'd only be able to play if it's MGE.)

[Hydey]

could be a fun game, Hydey in for MGE .

[Scouse Gits]

Got the Succession Game bug now Hydey? -- Just proves that there can be life after MP!

SG[1]

[Marquis de Sodaq]

Congratulations, ye faithful! The inquisitor is pleased. Now, please come with me... We just have a few questions, nothing to worry about.

[Scouse Gits]

M le Marquis - we are pleased that the Inquisator is pleased -- otherwise we might have to undergo the third degree....

The SGs well pi**ed
