I was away communing with nature 
Just so you know, I got that exact same PM.... do we even have a Lord of Progress?...

Net Warrior is nowhere to be seen. And candidates? Plus, Ouro, try to do your job as ambassador - when my college starts someone should fill me in. Plus, Angels were known for such atitutude in last game, when most of their team belonged to Pirates, I guess. There was even one ugly incident with particulary nasty PM from a certain pirate, but I don't think he is in this ACDG. Drogue can fill you in. Let's just tolerate them and watch our backs. Currently we both need each other to beat Morgans.

The message seems pretty tame to me on second reading of our treaty. We are supposed to tell them when we will finish techs. We didn't I guess? Has this treaty now been ratified?
Also, it seems they don't have beeline plans, which isn't too surprising for Angels since they will be focusing on their probes (which is a little silly considering they are also a strong builder faction).
Ouro, would you send them info according to the treaty, but not all at once. Let them respond and send some of their own info. We do need to know when they are going to finish Flex.
Finally, don't they seem to be lacking a tech or two? Their research has been slow, considering how close to IA they are from the start. Does this mean they ran Planned for awhile? I don't know, but they should have one more tech than that I think.Aldebaran 2.1 for Smax is in Beta Testing. Join us for our first Succession GameComment

We told them, as they did. The treaty is on for around four days now. They will finish Progenitor Psych in 1-2 days. About energy, could be that they done sth strange, or they got a lousy energy poor starting site as we did. I sent them info about our techs and estimated completion data, as they did - according to that we don't have anything else to trade. Ouro, send them message we are researching Mobility.SMAC/X FAQ | Chiron Archives

Informed them we are researching mobility. In the agreement, we were supposed to exchange tech lists.... anyone want to draw up a copy for me to transmit? We already have theirs....Comment

Once, again we did exchange lists of technologies. Also, they might find intrusive if you directly ask if they ran planned economy - not mentioning showing that we are too lazy to look at earlier turns and check if they were running planned. They already insulted us, and this would mean justificaiton for their insults.SMAC/X FAQ | Chiron Archives

Let them insult us as much as they want. It doesn't do anything to us. We can keep a close watch on them, and splatter them if they turn hostile."Cutlery confused Stalin"

I agree with you both. It's best to be friendly at all times, even going out of our way to maintain a straight face if they try to provoke us. We have the upper hand on them, and they will soon realize it I think, which may have consequences on how well their actions speak for them. Our deal for IA was pretty good. If only it had come 10 turns earlier we'd have an SP in the bag by now.
Question on tech trades: They were kind to give us IA, not even knowing how many turns till we could give them Biogenetics. It turned out to be zero, which is good for them. However, if we get Mobility, should we hold it until they are about to finish research? I know that sounds mean, but it could be phrased as: "Tech Trades are acceptable, or tech loans for 1 turn with ensuing trade the following turn" Something to think about as we start accelerating our research/probe actions.

We could tell from previous turns? I didn't know that.... Also, they can't get flex till we get mobility, so that won't do much good....Comment

Ok, then what are my exact duties?Why not?

Ok, will do today!
1.Beelines - after D:Mobility we go for restriction lifting:
SocPsy->Ethical calculus->Gene Splicing->Eco Eng->Env Eco and for clean reactors after this b-line
2.Research time will be calculated shortly
3.Expect periodical polls about what to research next!

It get tricky fast. Try to figure in how long it will take us to set up new bases, and add their lab points as well. Unfortunately, there's little chance of probing anyone but Yang for at least a decade, so our research rates won't be changing beyond our base labs for awhile....
Of course, trying to figure in the new bases means we'd better plan where they are to go and use our formers to make it a fast growth.Aldebaran 2.1 for Smax is in Beta Testing. Join us for our first Succession GameComment
