DE Reports 1800

Darkness' Edge · December 8, 2002, 00:58

The first session is done. Short, because of a sneak attack, and delayed, because certain people prefer to sit back and whine like little schoolgirls instead of filling empty cabinet posts, and make me do those posts as well.

Half-assed turnlog

1784-1788 – Not doing much, trading ‘n stuff

1788 – Negotiations with several civs, absolutely nothing achieved, China tries to get us to ally against the Celts; we decline, quite a bit of advance trading and deals going on between civs (Celts getting Polytheism from the Mongols, Mongols and Celts signing a peace treaty for instance). Industrialization discovered.

1792 – Someone discovered Railroad, tried to steal tech from Carths, but they have nothing new

1794 – Celts and Vikings sign "Llangollen Pact" to "contain New Apolytonian aggression". Illauntaig (Celtic) completes Darwin’s Voyage. Celts develop Industrialization. Celts develop Metallurgy. Celts undertake Women’s Suffrage. We discover Metallurgy.

1800 – Trading going on between Mongols and Vikings. Vikings finally get The Wheel. Celts sneak attack a dude who was wandering around on one of our lesser islands.

If we have any volunteers for City Planner or Trade Minister, I would be very grateful. I can probably live without a Trade Minister, but the lack of a City Planner is slowing things down a lot.

Cavebear said he'd do one of them.

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 01:04

I would be honored to act as City-Planner for you. It is the position I started in here, and my best talent.

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 01:13

See? I told you he was working on his first session. LOL!

Hydey · December 8, 2002, 01:14

Both Cavebear and Myself indicated that we would help in any way you asked of us when trying to get you to be president.

Neither of us has said anything different

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 01:21

It occurs to me that if the Celts got everything from us via the GL, and they got Darwins, they must have something to steal! Lets get a Dip up there quick!

So Hydey, act as his Minister of Trade... I know how much you like moving those Caravans around!

Hydey · December 8, 2002, 01:24

Using dips to steal techs

That would be upto the people to decide.

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 01:26

No, the Presaident can fill vacant positions... Assuming willing volunters.

Hydey · December 8, 2002, 01:31

Lets see some screenshots before Cavebear starts whining about it.

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 01:33

Didn't even have to bait the hook...

Hydey · December 8, 2002, 01:41

See he has started to get silly allready

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 01:44

Neat, we are talking real-time. LOL!

Hydey · December 8, 2002, 01:59

By the look of your avatar perhaps we should call you cavepussycat

Actually, it's the "long-tailed bear" from around 1.75 M BC But I wouldn't expect you to know that.

Hydey · December 8, 2002, 02:08

looks like a cavepussycat

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 02:10

Whatever makes you happy...

cavebear · December 8, 2002, 02:11

Cavecat works for me, too.

atawa · December 8, 2002, 09:33

So, can the people get some screenshots?

mrboo123 · December 8, 2002, 09:42

Nice turn DE.

War4ever · December 8, 2002, 13:58

yes we need a screenshot

JCP · December 8, 2002, 14:22

Good turns !

Nobody may blame the President to follow his own opinion when the ministery is empty !

... waiting sceenshots, even if things didn't change very much.
The location of the Celt sneak attack is helpfull !

the only white tech among all the AI's is leadership, which is possessed by the celts, japanese and mongols.

presently we have two military units that are damaged, both transports, but according to the casulty list, the celts have not lost a sea vessel, nor have we have lost a transport, so we didn't lose a transport.

We have however lost a total of one diplomat and 2 caravans, so I'm betting it was one of those units that were peacfully traversing the celtic empire that was brutally murdered

Hydey · December 8, 2002, 17:39

If the president doesn't have the time to post sreenshots, perhaps he could ask the VP to do it on his behalf.

War4ever · December 8, 2002, 20:26

i think we should avenge our lost brothers.....

the celts grow strong, perhaps nipping them in the bud is called for....

i am sure the Hawk party can be swayed to intervene on our behalf

Darkness' Edge · December 9, 2002, 02:34

I'm not sure of exactly how to do it and what to do it of.
Can one of the other ministers do it?

DinoDoc · December 9, 2002, 11:46

Got the turn. My thread will be up by Tuesday.

I had already offerred to do so before reading your post.

But I agree, it seems a reasonable thing for a VP to offer to do for a busy President. And, in it's own way, it is a fun thing to do.

I haven't received it.

I should get the game file as VP, I think, but I was asked to serve as City-Planner and that has more direct requirements to see the file.

Since I think it is sleepy-time in OZ

, if an awake Minister in possession of the 1800 game file is around, could you send it to me?

cavebearathome@comcast.net

I'd like to get some poll(s) up ASAP!
