Turns 2171- 2180

[Hercules]

I think I 'll email Forest not to open the turn until we decide what next to research.

[Mart]

I think Pre-sentient algorithms in order to get HSA

[Hercules]

That was what I opted for myself but Plan Econ is tempting as is cent empathy.

[GeoModder]

Why is there still a drop garrison under production in Kodycryptor?
We have no use for that AFAIK, another drop team would be much better.
Drone riots in Gemka's loft...

I suggest dropping our 2 finished dropteams in Hercules station. Turn after they can both drop in the fungus around UN Aid Station.

There's a Gaian IoD next to Delirium Camp. Isn't this a breach of treaty?

[Mart]

I would go for HSA still. More security in our position of acquiring techs from our ability would make us target of probe actions. HSA ensures safety till algorithmic enhancement is researched. And then still HSA owner is quite difficult to penetrate. Imagine Spartans have it. That would be a problem.

[GeoModder]

Erm, I don't see Bioengineering in our tech list?

[Mart]

We might check end turn more carefully, so no drone riots in the future

[GeoModder]

WTF is Forester doing? He put all crawlers of Googlieplex on the move!
And he didn't provide an endsave IIRC.

[Hercules]

Another question is where do we land the drop probe or do we move it to Mart Pact first? in readiness for next turn.

Correction: we haven't got Bio engineering. Gaians and Morgans have it. They must have traded NG to Morgan and Morgan switched to Bio.E

[Hercules]

AH I see Geo has plans for the Drop Probes

[GeoModder]

First to Hercules station is an option to drop them the turn after in the fungus next to UN aid station.

Dropping them to the two remaining UN bases is more visible to the Spartans. They must surely be on the lookout for 'hidden' units near those bases, and it would take quite a while to bring drop probes in a lurking position to strike when a base is taken.

[GeoModder]

Ok, have to go now.

One last thing. Tried communication with the AI's. Lal has nothing to trade and refuses to loan extra money . It could all be asked in the same session. He can't make peace with Spartans for they have started the vendetta.
Yang refuses to answer, no surprise there.
And Zakharov refuses to trade, for he doesn't wish us to have the Ascetic Virtues. So Planetary Economics is in his hands as well.
One more faction and we might get it as well.

[Mart]

And something, which should be done right after the turn is opened. Fungy MKI cancel order of "Go". The Fungy should return to removing fungus. Don't forget, otherwise fungy "escapes".

I would also propose the following procedure for you Forester. After you open the turn, prepare a short list of things to be attended. Write your proposals for discussion. then, when things get decided, perform actual movements of units, rearrangements of workers, crawlers, etc. We have for example 3 idle crawlers this turn. Such things should not happen. Then provide the save, which can be viewed for final "cleaning" of mistakes and things which were overlooked.

We cannot allow ourselves for loosing details. Other human factions will beat us easily if we do not care for details.

[Hercules]

Have a good holiday Geo

[ForesterSOF]

I have been wanting to go for the HSA for weeks now so:

1. Research to PSA
2. KC Drop Garison to Drop Team
3. Fungy MK1 to closest fungus square
4. Save as "a" and post

If you can think of any other starters add and post whole list. Back in a few hrs.

That is for starters.

Geo; I work at night so morning is the only time to do this type of stuff and am busy on Sundays.
