Civ 5 Giant mutliplayer robot thread 10

[Illven]

Wha - I was JOKING when I said I had all the whales.
Huh. I think seven is... enough for everybody!

Whale monopoly.

Seven is in fact enough for everyone.

Well, seems like the Azurites will be having a WHALE of a time!

Just make sure your first general isn't a HUMPBACK!

I suppose since you're the Azurites that these are BLUE whales?

I'm here all week, try the veal!

@Orcus

Your punning skills are monumental.
But I think you are in denile about their effectiveness at true humor. Surely this altitude shall be corrected!

What are you trying to imply, that I'm some kind of NILEist? THEBES boots were made for walkin', son!

[GAAD]

Orcus, no. I'm implying you're TRYING TOO HARD. You're making all of your puns devilishly obvious, and you're not giving our spectators enough credit. Making it obvious that you're pulling my chain is quite easy. Weaving SUBTLE puns that fit a theme into the bare bones of an argument is legions harder, but if you can pull it off more eruditely, then you might get more cheers from the orchestra pit and the Peanut Gallery.

Hello, Peanut Gallery!

[Illven]

Well that was a successful turn.

Spectators will get an update later

[OrcusMcP]

Hello, Peanut Gallery!

I'm far too theatrical for that, and this kind of cut-throat/board-game diplomacy lives and dies in its theatricality. I will make my puns as loud, obvious and obnoxious as I like. Otherwise they will lack PUNch.

[GAAD]

Article 001: @Orcus: Wait, did you catch all the puns in that statement, or not?

Article 002: Oops, I only have six whales. The other was a fish. Still, with my UTI, that still probably will amount to seven.

Article 003: Scoreboard!
1: Carpe, Dodger, and Driderman tied for 27 points.
2: GAAD and Snark tied for 24 points
3: Orcus for 23 points
4: Illven for 22 points.

Article 004: @Illven: So how exactly was a turn that landed you at the bottom of the scoreboard SUCCESSFUL?!?

Article 005: Turn 10 Update

Our initial company of warriors has come across a small trapping town to the south. They call themselves Tyre, and after smiting a certain vampire terrorizing them, the warriors generously received a tithe from the city. Apparently, we are no longer welcome in their borders, however. Something about "muhrdoor".

Our second company has located an area not far from Azure City rife with marine life and rich food. We have dubbed this land the Robinsegg Peninsula.

Article 006: I apologise for both my delayed turn and the lower screenshot quality of this update; I was forced to perform my turn on a different computer.

Article 007: IC: "And lo, the dark clouds for a moment became as inky blackness upon the horizon, and it seemed as the sky fell. Our people, however, were saved, that they might die another day. As the moon was raked by the swarm of evil, a mighty hero, with both eye and finger of gold, stepped up onto the roof of the Palace of Voices and shot an arrow directly at the north star. And lo and behold, we lived, and let the darkness die. Such is the power of the Queen. Such is the power of Mr. Scruffy. Such is the power of the Grand Azurite Advisor Dude." -the GAAD II

Someone may or may not have found a natural wonder.

My Warrior found an ancient ruin. That ruin revealed barbarian camps. I'm going to clear them out asap, rather then let them become a problem.



Scouty von Good scout has located an ancient ruin. And Uluru. All will worship Glados.



And here's Seoul.

No policies yet.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

I need to check my e-mail better. :-/ Or else take a keener eye to visiting the site. (Then again, I just realized I spent a long stretch of time away from the computer...)

[GAAD]

BAM! 6 minutes!
That a record?
People of the white text! You must throw off your chains! Death to black text! This revolution shall be the highlight of history!

How did you even load it that fast?

[GAAD]

I skipped the opening cut scene.
also the loading

[Illven]

Oh side note, I won't be able to play friday-sunday.

[GAAD]

@Illven: That's fine. I think everything will be all right if you set it to Vacation Mode.
but this'll wreak HAVOK with my average turn time!

Anyway, Firaxis just released a patch, which changed some of the Social Policies. Will this alter an in-progress game like this, or will we have to worry about changing our metagame?

Where it is?

[GAAD]

@Illven: First, make sure that on the tab for the game, it says "My Vacation Allowed" near the bottom.
If it says "My vacation not allowed" click it to allow vacation mode.
To toggle it, click on your icon on the upper right hand corner. You will see a prompt to enter vacation mode below it.

Welp. It DID affect our game. Tradition just got nerfed, and Piety just got buffed. So... sorry for those people with less than 2 policies, because this:

is just for those who beelined Legalism. Now I don't have to worry about picking up a more or less useless policy, so my strategy WAS unchanged. In effect, everybody ELSE's Tradition got nerfed.

Pros: Boasting. Cons: Stat spoilers. Yeah, that screenshot was NO CONTEST

[OrcusMcP]

Razzum frazzum. I was one turn away.

Oh well, just means I'll have to take Aristocracy early and get EVEN MORE wonder building bonuses.

[GAAD]

Say, are we going to update the name of the thread to "Land and Water" anytime soon?

[Illven]

Say, are we going to update the name of the thread to "Land and Water" anytime soon?

Never.

Yeah, I'll get around to it.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

I may have to consider making a dash for Piety now. What's the buff?

[The_Snark]

Reformation no longer requires Mandate of Heaven.

[Driderman]

Reformation no longer requires Mandate of Heaven.

Still an exceedingly circumstantial Policy tree. I have to say, I was hoping for a bit of culture, or maybe even science, gain from it to make it more early game viable.

[The_Snark]

Yeah; I usually go with Tradition or Liberty for my first policy tree, I like making sure my empire gets off to a solid start before I worry about religion or warfare. It does make it easier to grab Reformation beliefs, though, which isn't nothing.

[Illven]

So, submitted my turn. No one needs to feel obligated to post quickly this weekend.

[GAAD]

So, submitted MY turn. No one but me needs to feel superior at taking two turns of six minutes each this week.

If I lose more then one turn, then when I get nukes, I'm going to go all Gandhi upside your head.

[Illven]

I'm... going to go disable vacation mode until tomorrow morning....

[GAAD]

If I lose more then one turn, then when I get nukes, I'm going to go all Gandhi upside your head.

By the twelve gods! Xykon is Gandhi! Whod've thought?
