gently caress this, I'm in. The small Italian town of Beltreno will join in this tournament to show all you mouthbreathers how to make trains run on time  Narrator voice: Beltreno would not manage to make the trains run on time.

Spare a thought for a beleaguered town planner in the small Italian town of Beltreno. It began when a con artist waltzed in town trying to convince an investment into a monorail scheme. The inhabitants being smarter than those of Springfield, USA [citation Needed], the con man was run out of town. The inhabitants NOT being smarter than those of Springfield, USA, they then decided the general idea of expanding the town's transportation network, but with proper Italian roads and trains, was a good one. Considering that words like "synergies", "visibility", or "holistic" were involved, it is my deep suspicion that the "con man" was in fact a distraction, and a successful one at that. I don't even want to know how we're getting the funding here. A couple people must have called in some favors from their in-laws working at the region. I hope. Enter me, the town's employee that somehow ended up failing upwards into the Road and Railroad Planner position; I'm fairly sure it's because I was too slow in calling "not me". How hard can it be, really? (don't answer that please) And now I've got to herd all the committees and subcommittees and subsubcommittes so I know what we can build. Frankly, the outputs are quite indistinguishable from random dice throws. Then I've got to take that crap and try to fit it into a semi-coherent plan on how to improve Beltreno's connection with the rest of our neighbors. And I must immediately implement everything that comes out, because as always funds work on "use it or lose it" criteria. Then some idiot decided to throw a gauntlet around the loving world. That one is on me. I'd ask what the gently caress I was thinking, but I was drunk so I know the answer, I wasn't. So Oh, here comes the new town motto, from the motto subsubsubcommitte. "Meglio un autobus oggi che un treno domani" ... gently caress it's even worse than I feared. Screw this, I'm not sober enough for this poo poo.

That's... Actually it's still workable here in Beltreno.  Translator's note: keikaku means the translator is an hack.

That Italian Guy posted:Most of the submissions so far have been reaaaly close in score! This is going to be interesting No kidding, I've checked everyone's else turn 6 trying to estimate everyone's best case scenario with the latest all-corners roll (seriously, that's such a massive tire fire) and it's going to be a nail-biter, because I spotted at least one 1-point difference with me, and the question always is: did I see the actual best configuration?  I'm coming back to my map every now and then trying to see if I can squeeze an extra point with something really insane.

Blastinus posted:Yeah, after looking at the format, I realized that this is intended to be a chill game where what the other players are doing is mostly not a factor in the gameplay, so I've actually been avoiding everyone else's boards on purpose and just doing what I think would be best for my board in specific. I'm interested to see how it all pans out. Same here, I just checked the 6th turn boards a few days later after submitting my turn 7 out of curiosity. It was not a good idea. By the way, goddammit brain, no we're not improving our submission and there's no point in thinking about it anymore. TIG, you got my 7th round right?  that's final no take backsies or corrections.Edit: unless I made a rules mistake but I think you'd have told me already.

The toxx is for my sanity, not out of any kind of fair play or anything. I just added an escape clause if I made a rules error, but if the submission is legit that's it.

That Italian Guy posted:The funny (well I guess depending on the point of view) thing is that, as a rule of thumb, you would be the first to submit your drawings each time and The General would be the last...so you've been in the lead until this morning No, no, it is absolutely funny and anyone saying it's not would be lying. Honestly I didn't even notice that I was first in list, I was too busy alternating and laughing on getting second because somebody's else trains ran on time. I feel that's a simply perfect ending.(16 squares railroad, Jesus)
