PBEM Game: Yarnspinners 2 (Running)

[djo]

So, what's our status? How many people are we waiting for?

[puffyn]

Yes, what is taking so long? We've been slipping into 5 or more days elapsed between turns lately, and it would be nice if we could pick up the pace a little bit...

[djo]

I note in other threads that Pasha and Panther are/were having computer problems. Anyone else we're waiting for?

I've written my turn 21, but it was an easy one (a collection of letters). It'll be up after I see turn 19 or 20, probably, to allow for last-minute additions. But I have trouble getting too far ahead without some deadline-induced panic. Turn 24 needs that kick!

[puffyn]

Djo,

Perhaps you should offer ghost-writing services to some of the quieter nations, if you're running out of things to write?

[djo]

What I need is the oh-god-its-turn-24-I've-only-got-a-draft panic...with a side order of and-I-still-need-to-play-the-turn-I've-got-no-money-and-Pythium-is-on-my-doorstep.

I suppose I could use my time to write slanderous accusations against other nations, since that precedent has been set. Or proclamations. Or something.

[djo]

Pythium turn 18:

Monday: got up late; headache; don't feel like researching today. Need to tell slaves to polish statue base!

Tuesday: what is Brutus doing? Expense account all out of whack. Note to self: slaughter more babies.

Thursday: never order Marignon take-out again; sick all night

Saturday: met attractive female statue in courtyard; just my type, not too chatty, but I don't think she fancies me

Monday: where did weekend go? sigh, back to work; what to do today: (a) conquest, (b) hire more mercenaries, (c) kill babies

[puffyn]

Hehe

Ermor shouldn't be hard, either:

Ermor, Turn 3:

BRAAAAAAAAAAINS...

Ermor, Turn 6:

BRAAAAAAAAAAINS...

Ermor, Turn 9:

(after killing off some researchers)
BRAAAAAAAAAANES...
