Kumbaya

I jokingly called my foreign policy and strategy Kumbaya and I guess it has been talked about. I would basically just be friends with everyone. I made large share tech alliances and farmvilled my civ in a non aggression isolationist kind of way. I would often help civs that were less developed because it was just more fun to be friends with them than to run them over. This gave me more prosperity because then I had another ally to help research tech. I would give them everything but philosophy and then have them make something I want as their research goal while researching the cheaper tech philosophy. Then we could both have that more expensive tech cheaper as the free tech bonus that came with philosophy. This was repeated again with the wonder that gives tech. Having 6 or 8 people do that will bump you up pretty fast.
Various friends have been getting back to me about rumors about my Kumbaya affecting Game 8. This IS very amusing to me because I'm not even playing right now. I am taking a break from all Longturn games until at least January and maybe until May. I'm starting to get busier than usual. The writing and the DIY movie I'm making next year is going to take a lot of my time. I still talk to most of the allies I had in the many games. If there is a fear of Kumbaya entering the game it must be because of my positive influence in game strategies. Most people just want to be little Hitlers and I guess Kumbaya kind of messes that up. I hope a lot of people follow my example though because they will be a lot more fun for me to hang out with when I return to play Longturn.
