Since it looks like no-one else is going to guess...

Your comments on your first guess lead me to believe that you would guess the configuration for the Three Above correctly the second time. However, you were also mislead by Turn 18 when contemplating the Three Below. It was Polgrave who actually made the Skull Talisman for Wic. I didn't think about this contest when writing that yarn or I would have tried to make that more clear.

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

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...

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!

Djo,

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

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.

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
