20 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 1: The time has come
21 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 1: Welcome to the Ancient Mediterranean, everyone!
21 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 1: Thanks, let's get this going! I'm committing, here in public, to make no alliance before the 3rd turn. If I form an alliance with you before the third turn you know I'm a liar. So I won't.
21 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 1: Conversely, I am committing to make only alliances so we can have a nice friendly, wholesome game and enjoy ourselves.
21 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: Can't be a friend to everyone! Sides must be chosen
22 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: A likely story. It seems Egypt and Persia have already chosen their side, and on turn 1 no less.
22 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: GameMaster: Game was extended due to at least 1 member failing to enter orders and having an excused missed turn available. This has un-readied all orders.
23 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: Were you expecting peace in the Middle East?
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: Of course not, just seems a bold move to make and break a promise so quickly.
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: Alliances are far from promises :) Actions speak louder than words
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: Also, I moved through Byzantinum but I don't seem to be getting ownership credit for it. Based on the rules I read it seemed like passing through would make it mine as long as nobody else moved in. Is that not the case?
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: Passing through unfortunately does not count for owning it. You can move anywhere during spring, but the placement of your units during Autumn is what matters.
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: I've been wondering how the seasons factored in. What happens in summer and winter?
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: What do you mean? The Ancient Mediterranean only experiences Spring and Autumn do to its temperate climate and proximity to a large body of water.
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: But for reals, its just the two turns, with a build phase at the end of Autumn once all the unit movements have been resolved depending on the number of cities you have.
24 Feb 20 UTC	Autumn, 1: I had no idea that Autumn was specifically set as a the build season. It looks like you can take ownership of non-city regions by passing through them in Spring, but you have to actually end your Autumn turn in city region to gain the tile
24 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 2: oh ho ho hoooo! things are about to get interesting now :)
24 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 2: :its-happening:
25 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 2: We're making some big plays this turn! No idea what's going to happen.
25 Feb 20 UTC	Spring, 2: I for one have written a script that randomly moves my units every round so I can watch the chaos unfold.
