Social Engineering orders:

Switch to Wealth immediately. Switch to Knowledge upon receiving Cyberethics from Morgan.

Keep 50% / 50% energy rates unless the psych rate must be upped to avert riots, and using a Doctor would produce a deficit of Nutrient or Minerals. (Or, if the DIE won't consent to using a Doctor in the situation.) In that case, go to 40% Econ, then 40% Research, then 30% Econ, and so on, increasing Psych by as many 10% increments as necessary to restore order.

[GeneralTacticus]

I presume the turnchat will be held at the usual time (ie. 2200 GMT Saturday)?

[Joeno]

Yup, usual time, usual location.

Don't forget those orders, people!

Director Exploration and Intelligence orders

Southern Scout
Move west to the river, then follow the river to the unknown territory in the west, don't pop any pods untill the area is fully discovered.

Westerns Probe Foil
Head straight west, once a coast is encountered, follow it northwards, unless there is evidence of another faction/sea base in to the south. Once a base is found, infiltrate it.
Don't pop pods unless there is enough movement left to get away from a potential Isle of the Deep.

Eastern Probe Foil
Move northeast a few tiles, then east, towards the unknown base northwest of the Universities territory and infiltrate it.
Don't pop pods unless there is enough movement left to get away from a potential Isle of the Deep.

can we use the apolyton irc server? mark's been pestering us to. and mark ALWAYS gets his way

[Maniac]

TC, FA, SE, EI we have if I didn't overlook anyone.

So missing is Science (TKG?!? ), BP, IE and PO.
PO isn't crucial I believe (unless someone wants a military build-up of course - not me ). I'm sure we'll still get orders from TKG, which leaves IE and BP. IMO those are exactly the two directorates which need orders most urgently!!! What to do about them? I have made a lot of suggestions to them in the appropriate thread, but they aren't around.

[Maniac]

I've made som changes to my TC orders.

May I also repost my suggestions for Industry & Energy and Base production here? I hope we can discuss them on the chat.

New Tassagrad worker to forest.
Terminal Dogma worker to nutrient forest.
TBIBTU worker from a normal forest to the forest on the river.
Two Mysidia workers to the nutrient forest and a normal forest.

No longer send crawlers to the south. No longer rehome them to New Apolyton, but cap each base's production at about 15 minerals. Instead send the crawlers already en route to NA and the south to the 3 rocky minerals and the free forests in our central territory which are outside the base radii. Put a crawler on the minerals near Concordia.

Also some edited base build queues to satisfy our sea terraforming and colonization needs:

Zanarkand Gate: Children's Creche - Sea formers
UN Pizza Delivery: Supply crawler - Sea colony pod - Sea formers
Mysidia: Supply crawler - Colony Pod - Scout - Sea formers
New Suez: the PTS - Sea formers

If we want to pop boom those bases to a high population, kelp farming the Freshwater Sea is the way to go!

There is also a shortage of formers if we want to have enough terraformed territory in the future to place crawlers and workers. Therefore I asked for more formers, a request which was granted by our citizens. Therefore:

New Apolyton: crawler - formers - CC - NN
TBIBTU: probe skimship - formers - CC
Pandemonium: crawler - formers

Is this acceptable?

[Drogue]

I'd go for a but then it's not my decision.

[Method]

heh, i was (gasp!) without internet connection for a bit, but anyways, just in time: Director of Research Orders

first choice: Environmental economics
second choice: synthetic fossil fuels

i doubt we'll get to another breakthrough (22 turns iirc) so i guess the only way we'll get to use these orders is if we get HEC some other way.

make sure to trade morgan for cyberethics in 10 turns (if we go that far)

[Drogue]

Are we using Efnet or Apolyton IRC?

[Joeno]

I was thinking EFnet, but Apolyton would be fine as well. I'll try to stay on both servers, so it'll be whatever people want most.

[Method]

i think you'll need to be a little more decisive than that, chief

[Joeno]

Let's go for EFnet. It's more filled now anyway

So, everyone, IRC Server irc.efnet.org - channel #smacdg
