Yeah, I'm playing Ethiopia. My best guess is since you were in Vacation mode it was actually my turn the whole time but when I loaded the GMR page it listed you as the current turn all day yesterday. 24 hours passed and it skipped the turn, which instead of being you who got skipped (which is what GMR was telling me) it was me! I bet if I had actually logged in it would've told me it was my turn, but I always check the game page before bothering to log in. Just something I should keep in mind for the future I guess.

Like I said, no big deal, hopefully. I should've been in progress on both research and building, all it might've done is move my units differently than I would've.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

So, I think that makes sense, especially from my end: I enabled Vacation Mode while it was my turn, but it was still showing as my turn, so I hit manual skip. I'm guessing that accidentally sent two "skip my turn" notifications to GMR.

The first caravan will be ready in three council sessions or so. We are gathering the materials in our capital and may need to spend additional time moving the base of operations to a frontier city before it can reach your lands. Please do not worry about our scouts near your cities, as we're merely blazing the trail that will be needed for the trade route.

In addition, while it is early to be bringing this up, we wish to discuss the river valley to the east of your lands. The Ethiopian peoples need very little land for our traditional ways, and have established most of what we feel we will desire for our civilization but we require a fertile area for our final colony. An encampment of Barbarians currently makes the region inhospitable, but when it is time for our Empire to grow once more we would prefer to settle on the river to your east a ways. Have you any concerns about this proposal?

About how close?

For our final city, we were considering a canal city on the small 1 tile land bridge that inbetween the north part and the south part of the continent. What do you think about that?

Our cartographers have told us our ideal spot is approximately 9 days travel east from the iron mines within your borders.

Our maps show not this land bridge, but we have been busy quelling barbarian uprisings and have not scouted farther west or north than the Korean lands and the City-State of Bucharest. Our city of Harar is situated on a small land bridge, between a great lake and the eastern ocean. We regret if we inadvertently settled land your people had their eyes upon.

Harar's western borders should be visible from the ruins of that Barbarian camp. Is this the land bridge you speak of?

What a splendid idea! Mr. Scruffy says that you AND the Poles can have plenty of his amazing tuna and whalemeat. We certainly love friends, and having friends is smart.
OOC: What is not smart, but is IC for the Azurites, is purposefully settling all my cities next to barbarian encampments. I CERTAINLY do not expect to stay in first place for long.

A caravan has begun running from our city of Adwa to your city of Busan. Being folk of Honor, we will maintain vigilance against Barbarians and try to notify you if any of the brutes set up an encampment near the route but it is quite safe at the moment and should remain so with our mutual protection.

So it's empire viewing time!

Behold Thebes

Got my first GS, should be getting a Prophet soon and I'm building Hagia Sophia so that I can hopefully enhance as soon as I found.

Memphis!

Memphis has been growing very fast, but has been neglecting production. That should be solved soon, since the Marble is done and I can start building up mines. It should get Kilimanjaro before long, too.

Heliopolis!

Just founded, and will be the last city I found to my north, barring strange happenings. Should have plenty of production before long.

Overall, my score has dropped from my top position, but that's to be expected. Wonders really shoot you up, but once people are settling their 4th city, they catch up. I have two more cities to found, and I'm about to finish researching Education in time for the Hagia Sophia to finish. I'll get a university, trade route and maybe a garden/national epic in Thebes before I get my 4th city out, and then I'll get which ever of the Garden I didn't get, any choice wonders still not claimed, get my guilds up in my secondary cities along with universities, and fill my trade routes in the capitol and get my 5th and final city.

Then, it's gonna be nothing but science, boats and troops for a while. Azure has been very friendly, and Poland has been nice enough, but I want to make sure I have enough of a land force to at least hold the mountain range for a few turns just in case, and then I'll have my fleet to hold off anyone else.

Ramses once again descended from the Oracle with a divine revelation, but this one was strange. It was about Ancient Aliens, how they helped Egypt build the pyramids or something? The people of Thebes were very confused.

The priests really got into it, though, and soon enough Ancient Aliens was the dominant faith of Egypt!

There wasn't a whole lot of decent beliefs yet, but went with Feed the World since my temples are really good anyway No, I went with the one that gives faith for wonders. I need more sleep.... also took Interfaith Dialogue to up my science. Interfaith will require me to be a religious nuisance. I have no problems with this.

Our Scouts have reported a Barbarian camp just south of Busan. We have dispatched a unit of chariot archers but it will take some time for them to rout the brutes from their fortifications. We suggest you watch your borders carefully for the moment.

Thanks for the headsup. I'll move some archers to help deal with it.

The Great and Benevolent Ramses wishes to preemptively apologize to all the nations of the world. There is talk that some of our more.......zealous.... priests are planning to go on missions abroad. Please know that we are stopping these interlopers wherever we can, but we cannot control everyone.

If you start hearing strange conversations in your taverns and forums, though, worry not. It's not revolution, they're only talking about.....

Hey, it wouldn't let me accept the deal you offered. Salt, for 7 GPT, so I resent you the same offer.

"Portugal" and Poland seem to be getting skipped a lot, is everything ok?

It said the deal was no longer valid? Did you decline it, accept it, not see it? Either way I re-sent it.

[The_Snark]

I got a notification that the deal was no longer valid, and then a notification that you'd proposed a new deal, which I thought I accepted? I'll look at the deal history to see if it went through, when my next turn rolls around.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

"Portugal" and Poland seem to be getting skipped a lot, is everything ok?

Should be fine, I just had bad timing this time around. I've got a particularly small window of free time after work (roughly a couple of hours), so if the prior player submits a turn during that window on the previous day, there's a chance I'll miss the 24-hour cutoff while taking care of other business online.

(I really wish I had a better commute.)

Though, I'll be away on a trip this weekend...it'd be cool if people took their time on their turns.

[OrcusMcP]

Don't forget about vacation mode!

So: my deal history indicates that I'm already supplying you with salt in exchange for citrus, as of Turn 92. I do have access to citrus, so the deal seems to be working on my end; check to see if you're getting the salt? You can mouse over your total happiness, check your deal history, or both.

(Your proposal turned up in triplicate for some reason, but refusing one of them seems to have cleared all three. Let me know if it's still buggy on your end.)

[DodgerH2O]

That Vacation Mode skip happened again. Never got my turn... hopefully the AI didn't screw up my Settler... I'm literally two turns away from placing a city.


EDIT: Hey Carpe, when are you turning on Vacation mode? It looks to me like what happens is the turn timer doesn't reset after you turn it on during your turn, but GMR won't let me take my turn yet, so I get skipped once the 24 hours from the previous submission is past.
