    Well I exhausted game analysis, and I still haven't got the reply from the drones. So I suppose I'll go to the next step. Because slightly over 30 posts in a day while I've been cooling my feet waiting for a reply just isn't enough.

    I've been trawling through the usual internet garbage out there. Collecting information on the personalities of some of the members. Also trusting Googlie's opinions a bit.

    In my opinion usually you can tell the people that will backstab you because they're the ones that will flame other people. The people you can usually trust to keep their word are the ones that are polite to everyone and if dislike someone simply won't talk to them. Then you have the ones that are friendly to people. Those are the ones which will help you if you are weaker, and may sometimes betray you if you're stronger or equal strength (or a good friend). I actually don't mind getting betrayed by those people... kindof hard to explain why. I guess it's because they're just after some fun and nobody can really contradict that reasoning.

    Googlie read your post on mark. He seems kind of like the 3rd kind of person . I think in a team game, random insanity for fun is usually overruled by the group. He'll probably be trustworthy.

    MRT144, seems to be a loose gun. However, I if they have a democracy not the loudest voice we should be okay. I'm uncertain about Main_Brain but he doesn't seem too bad. The other drones are all polite and I believe will keep their word.

    I suppose the problem will in what we can agree on with them and making sure our "protective manvoeuring", which I feel is mainly to make us feel safe, won't make them think we're backing out.

      I'm really glad that people have been working all possibility out. I trust that the Hive is in good hands.

      My two cents, for what it is worth, maybe we should try build the west base as GooglieGod suggested as soon as possible. If it may take a few turns, then use a former to build a sensor there may make sense. Also, if we build the valley site on the river non bonus square, then put the worker on the nut bonus to ensure fastest growth, and use our money to rush the colony pod.

        Honey, you're confusing me with googlie god.

        The whole reason why I'm holding the turn up is because we still want to build the west base. Otherwise, I would just let the turn slide and let other people take their turn while the drones think our offer over.

          Just watch out, some very nice people can become hardcore gamers and be very strict and pedantic over certain issues. But then again that situation usually arises in an adverserial environment with no co-operation allowed. Still, it would be handy to recall why buster joined this ACDG and see if our philosophy are compatible. If I can recall, he wanted to show someone how to play a builder faction?

            That was an interesting reply kody. And yes, leaving a colony pod unescorted without a pact isn't recommended.

              I was using the "Honey" to convey concern that she's tried and didn't read some of my long posts correctly. Otherwise it could easily be taken as critisim.

                Okay I guess this may take a while. Interestingly enough my post count
                went up 40 maybe 45 today and still rising. The hive is currently
                hammering out details of all the possibilites you could possibly choose.
                Just ask Googlie .

                  Hey are you trying to imply that the GooglieGod can be easily confused with a human type? I was thinking that base site west of Voltairgrad along the voltairo river, (or maybe I should say north of it? The direction is always so confusing to me) that we should rush the next colony pod in Voltairgrad and put it there. Of course we should still try to keep the valley base and also rush build another colony pod in there as soon as possible to move it northwest to where the river turns and close to the mineral bonus and the monument.

                  BTW, "honey" is the word reserved specially for Comrade Forlani Claire. "Dear comrade" is the word suggested to use with your CCC deputies.

                    We really need to name those future bases, in order to avoid confusion.

                        I really do like critism better than "honey". But you are forgiven because you may simply be confused about who you are talking to.

                            Interesting discussion here, I'm sure all of it on-topic and to do with drone negotiation. Now let's see, how much can we earn, I mean the Hive benefit, from a Claire Forlani tour of the Drones.
