What a save!

Does Yaleunc stand for Yale Uncle?

No. I went to UNC for grad school.

Saves are a shit stat. They perpetuate flawed beliefs about the rigid order roles when really orders should be used on a situation-by-situation basis.

Kill Austria. He has overstayed his welcome on the board.

The Peanut Gallery considers Yaleunc's academic credentials as elitist and would like him brought down a peg in the name of the common man. Not that the peanut gallery is common themselves, they just prefer to root for underdogs.

I only saved guys because I'm old and my memory's screwed; it's almost past the Where was I stage? to the Who are you stage? Then comes the scary Who am I stage?

Whoa whoa whoa the entertainment can talk.

Not sure how I feel about this.

Booo, get back to the game!
*throws peanuts at Chumbles*

...and tomatoes....and chairs...and small rodents...

Turns out the entertainment isn't supposed to talk. Quiet, entertainment!

Are these guys really doing THAT much diplomacizing before they put in their first moves, or are the last check in times misleading in some way?

Chumbles just boldly tore down the fourth wall!

'Good evening', it lowed and sat back heavily on its haunches, 'I am the main Dish of the Day. May I interest you in the parts of my body?' The Chumbles harrumphed and gurgled a bit, wriggled its hind quarters in to a more comfortable position and gazed peacefully at them.

Its gaze was met by looks of startled bewilderment from Ghug and Villageidiot, a small and a tomato chair from Deinodon, peanuts from Vashta, and naked hunger from the other players in the game

'Something of Constantinople perhaps?' suggested the animal, 'Braised in a witty little Smyrna Red?' Or shall I get you the Menu?

I am somehow unsurprised to see it is the gunboat nuts that have saved orders. :-)

Anyone else want to make bets on the possible bounce spots for S1901?

My bets (No/Bounce, empty/occupying unit):

Eng: No bounce, empty.
Bla: No bounce, empty.
Arm: No bounce, Turkish.
Pru: No bounce, empty.
Sil: No bounce, empty.
Gal: Bounce, empty.
Bur: No bounce, French.
Pie: No bounce, empty.
Tyr: No bounce, Italian.
Ven: No bounce, Italian.
Tri: No bounce, Austrian.

I think that's the full list of S1901 possibles?

@Thorfi Not quite as devoted to GB as you! Try a full press game for once - you'll really enjoy it!

I plan to, since I chickened out of Valis's 50 gunboat games. I'm just waiting for my existing gunboat load to drop so I actually have time to write press. :-)

Ghug mentioned it before, but if you're in the game, please do not post in this thread.

Oops!

Does this mean we are voting Chumbles off of the island?

We should split the vote. I think he found the Immunity Idol in Ankara's Crescent.

I changed the db to add a link to the game to the OP, hope that makes getting to it easier!

Well, now my first post just seems silly

Jmo: Cleaning up inept forum posts by mods since time immemorial.

Nobody else wants to play guess the bounce? :-) 9 hours to go!

Of course, that just means 8 hours until all 7 players click draw, if we're going by ATC and PW's public press. \o/

galicia

I will guess there are no bounces.

Shouldn't this be in the ADVERTISE YOUR NON-LIVE GAMES forum?
