Well, I know you aren't addressing that to ME! My PM inbox is fine, and my e-mail is too... So were you trying to, Geo? Check the game thread...

I have a tendency not to be in the leader position but rather a strong and loyal supporter. However if I must choose I would be Lady Hong of the Gaians.

Why peacekeepers, Mart7x5?
Do you like faction or do you like its ideals?
By the way - my fac:
Any!
Seriuosly!
Depending on settings (map, difficulty, rainfall etc.. and especially - my mood)
But if we assume, that:
Diff = transc
Map = huge map of planet
and all those settings of HMoP..
lord binTravkin of Gaians!
And will make use of mindWorms and popbooming (I mean - my SE will differ from that of Lady Deirdre and will be much more powerful)
I changed all the AI.txt files to make them as good as possible (I tweaked their SE choices, agresiveness and values (explore, conquer..etc)
Gaia had:
Politics, Democratic, INDUSTRY (to have Planned, wealth and later Eudaimonia)
And she was building Childrens creches quite rapidly..
Can you imagine?
I was Lal with goood starting position, popped lots of minerals and so on..
I played as good as I could!
But Deirdre had Monsoon + rainfall was at max..
I barely got elected to Governor (and I even had Empath Guild)!
Her bases went till 14 in average of 30 turns (she just built Creche, Commons, theatres and had HGP as a point on 'i')
And she released forests in Monsoon and popped one hydroponics pod there also..
And then she got enough minerals to build Treefarms and HybridForests (when a base reached 7, mineral output was 16-little support)...
It was the first time I lost a game to AI.. (she made her transcendant)..
Shame, shame, shame!

Zakharov. Knowledge in a hostile alien land is the best defense.
Santiago is my second choice, but I've noticed that exhorting people to be strong influences some to inflexible and overly-straightforward thinking.
Just as Roze's reliance on subtlety seems foolish in the face of 12 Spartan Rovers, some of my followers might not grasp the importance of subtlety with 12 Impact Rovers parked in the garage.
Better to tell my followers they need to be smart, and let them figure out the strong part for themselves.
Skye is third, but only because Earth's environmentalists often succomb to "junk science" in the field of ecology and I would want my followers to be more objective.
Of course in a world where fungus has psychic powers the Gaians' "silly religion" might not seem so silly ... but I, as Provost, would arrive at this conclusion because the evidence suggested it, not because I wanted to score points with the wing-nut Greenpeace chick.
