Time for an article on the government switch? Anyone any inspiration?

I'm sure I can rustle something up tomorrow. I feel the need to write another 3D

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale of this industrious band
That started from this landlocked base way back in CyCon land.
They first b’gan work way long ago on the Weather Paradigm,
But higher-up, as they often do, went back and changed their mind.
The HGP they were transferred to, but soon they quickly changed,
To the Virtual World and yet again, now to the Merchant exchange.
Each year they changed, never knowing what their labour soon would bring,
The options grew short, as the projects all were quickly disappearing.
Long time they worked on the Virtual World, thought they knew it all’d been done,
Waited they did, many years went by, thousand cycles of the sun.
But now they see that their years of work have never been for naught,
For it’s done right now
They can celebrate
They’ve all improved
Our lot.
For the MCC
Is finished now,
Right here
On

Do we want to tell them we've got the MCC? If they look they will see, but they may not look. We might gain a turn or two without them knowing. However since it will likely be a few days before 3D is finished, I'm guessing they will know by then.Smile

Actually I think it would be in our advantage for others to know we have the MCC. Then they'll also know we have Doc:Ini, and might refrain from trading that tech with PEACE, hoping for a better price from us.Comment

Yea, because everyone (well, we at least) knows how impossible it's to negotiate with those uncivilised pirates

Well, I think considering the Hive and PUT are Pacted with PEACE, they would rather trade it there. However I intend to offer it to the Drones and Hive as a trade unless there are any objections (details in the Drones dip thread).
We can publish the story though.Smile

As PBEM's don't give the "Faction XXX has completed the YYY" message, usual practice in single player PBEMs is to post this information in the turn reporting thread when passing on the turn.Originally posted by Drogue
Do we want to tell them we've got the MCC? If they look they will see, but they may not look. We might gain a turn or two without them knowing. However since it will likely be a few days before 3D is finished, I'm guessing they will know by then
In this game, however, I have been making these announcements when the faction itself hasn't done so in a timely fashion.
eg Buster announced the Drones' Weather Paradigm in the forum, and a few turns later their Merchant Exchange in their newspaper that same day. PUT inserted a piece re SoTHB in their newspaper within a couple of days of getting it (not so time sensitive since no-one else was researching it or had it even come up as a tech choice by then)
I posted re the Hive's simultaneous getting of their 3 SPs.
I would be posting news of the MCC within a day or so of your playing the turn if there wasn't anything published by the CyCon in the meantime (ie before the next player's turn deadline was up)

We can post this as a special single-article 3D the moment we get the turn. It can read something like...
Given the recent misunderstandings and deterioration of relations between we in the Cybernetic Consciousness and PEACE, we have decided to do our part to mend relations. Thus, as an apology to PEACE, several CyCons have tried their collective hands at a PEACE artform... the sea shanty. Our algorithms for this particular procedure, however, are relatively new, so please forgive any mistakes or inaccuracies in the style.
... and then we hit them with the news... is it likely to help?

This will be published as a 3D extra the moment we get the turn and confirm we got the MCC. That way everyone will be surprised.
